What's on The Workbench

[tonyb]

2 1/72's I'm working on -

Hasegawa Spitfire Mk1
Academy Hawker Typhoon Mk1B

The Hasegawa is a nice kit though the decals are very flimsy (old kit I guess)
I actually managed to get the Invasion stripes on the Typhoon though they don't look brilliant imho.
I think painting them will be the go next time.
Cheers,
Tony.

Yep two complete Doras plus another that arrived today along with my 1/48 Vampire and a very nice set of brass U/C legs for a 1/48 Dora . Am hoping to figure out a way of copying them

No worries mate....can't have enough Dora's...

I've applied putty to the seams of the 707's fuselage, wings, and engines. I prolly won't be able to sand it down today since it looks like I've got a LOT to do with other things, today.

Well don't let it get wet Rob, it might shrink back to a 737 !!!

Been playing with this up in Budapest...RS Models 1:72 Zlín Z-XII. So far just cleaning up the injector pin marks - not the most beautiful of my work, but the forward frames look like frames and not blobs atleast...

The second project was completed 2 weeks ago, this picture taken in the last stages...very nice subject!

Great stuff Evan..!

 

[Trebor]

amazing portrait!

I've sanded down the 707, can't wait to apply primer!

 

[A4K]

Sounds good Rob!

Thanks too guys! Was still working on the mouth area at the time that pic was taken, trying to catch her Mona Lisa smile... Looked much nicer when finished, and everyone reckons I got her down to a tee!

I sanded around the cockpit a little too hard and I saw seams. so I had to apply a little more putty to the 707

Been off the block for a while but got stuck into 1/72 Special Hobby Sea Hornet the last couple of evenings... it's staritng to take shape

 

[Airframes]

Thought you'd got lost mate! Look forward to some pics of the 'Hornet, nice looking kite.

Not lost exactly, bought a new mountain bike last month and have been putting in the miles. I am a few lbs lighter but the FAA collection has stalled. Back to it now!

 

[Airframes]

Not many mountains in Nottinghamshire that I know of !!

I've sprayed chrome to the engines and engine pylons to the 707. I tried to do it to the wings, but I ran out of paint in the can. amazing, I had this paint for 3 years and it just now runs out lol so I wiped off the wings with a paper towel, I'll have to wait till tomorrow or so to get a new can of paint and more latex gloves.

Well not exactly a plane but! My wife, I should have got the puppy instead, is already complaining abot my Squadron in the living room, they are near the TV in "plane" sight. So I have come up with a plan for a display case, see attached drawing. Have sent it of to a metal fabricator to get panels trimmed an punched. I want to see if I can use flush AC rivets and paint Corsair blue. You think?
