and here's the end result...I think I got it right

Supermarine Spitful
Handley Page Halifax as a coastal command aircraft[with this model i thought i'd practice detailing and might post it if anyone's interested]

Nice balancing act there Rob, end result looks good!

 

[A4K]

Sure does! Good work mate!

Bob, do put up some pics of the Halifax if you can!

 

[Trebor]

thanks, fellas!

Cowlings installed. a little later, possibly tonight after work; I'll be stuffing some strips of cotton balls in there to protect the engines inside from the paint.

Great work mate!

Btw, Rob - do you have any spare markings at all? Got some prebuilt airliners in 1:100, would like to try and restore them.

[Trebor]

depends on what they are, man. but I know a place where you can get all the airliner markings you want. www.airline-hobby.com

just type in the search box "1/100" there's quite a few in there

 

[A4K]

Beauty, cheers mate!
Bought three 1:100 VEB Plasticart airliners off a mate last year (already made, stashed in his attic): a Dassault Mercure (Air Inter), Douglas DC-8 (KLM), and Tupolev Tu-154 (Aeroflot).

 

[Wurger]

Oh.. VEB Plasticart kits..... sound very interesting Evan, especially the Tu-154.

 

[A4K]

Will get a pic sorted and posted Wojtku!

 

[Wurger]

THX Pal... Memories, memories....

Ok, these are the VEB Plasticart kits I got from my mate Zoli. Attic jobs, made about 20 years ago, but hope to see these restored...anyone like a challenge?

THX Evan for posting. The Il-28 looks interesting. I might take her into consideration. Humm.....?????

 

[A4K]

Sweet my friend, she's yours!
You'll need to source a canopy and new markings, but everything else is there, and she's in pretty good condition.

 

[Wurger]

OK. a PM has been sent.

 

[A4K]

Forgot to mention, I also got a VEB plasticart 1:72 Junkers G23 from him, but I'm hanging onto that one!
