Great work Mark. Nice to see a Mustang in something not NMF..

Cheers

Nice pair of Mustangs

[bilby1968]

That is one sweet looking Mustang. Those Hobby Boss quick build kits are so much fun and they live up to their name of being a quick build.

Those kits are a great way to get kids into modelling as they can be built in a matter of hours

Thanks guys, time for an update me thinks.

Completed this mainly in the late evenings after pulling double shifts at work so there are no progress pictures as I only like to take photos in as much natural light as possible( except for blitz builds of course)

Revell 1/48 Spitfire MkII.

Hmm, must get some of your "natural light" seems to make a big difference to models..

Though I really suspect its the modeller not the light ...

Lovely result Mark.

great selection of kits ,the 190 family is one of my favs too.

[Titan]

Thanks guys.

Well I have made a start the last couple of nights on this....



Mainly the engine parts as this will be displayed with the nose open...





Post shaded around the cockpit a bit...

[Titan]

Then after a bit more drybrushing etc I added the fire wall and pipework and ended up with this...





So that's the engine completed.

[Titan]

And this is where I am with it now...

The engine and cockpit have been added and the fuselage halves have been glued together, not easy as there are no locating pins and also the exhaust stubs took a lot of persuading to fit into their respective fuselage slots( and I mean a lot)













So now the next things to attack will be the wings and stabs.

Mark

[dipweed190]

quality kit and building!

[Titan]

Thanks dipweed190.

Time for another update or two.

I have attached the wings , the fit topside was excellent...





The underside fit was not so great and so I used some filler which will be sanded flush when dried....



Regards
Mark

[Titan]

The stabs have been attached as have the control surfaces which were suitably deflected.

Mark

[Titan]

The canopy has been masked and attached, the engine has been masked and the yellow wing tips, stabs and top of the rudder have been sprayed yellow(RLM04)







Next will be to spray the canopy RLM02 and mask off the yellow areas so that RLM76 can be sprayed to the under surface and sides of the fuselage,

Great engine! And interior!

Ivan

[Titan]

Thank you Ivan but it is all about the quality of the model, I have only slapped some paint on it....

The bulk of the spray work has now been finished but I couldn't take any photos of the progress yesterday as the light was so poor with having downpours all day.
Having looked over it in better lighting today I am pleased with the results but will re-mask the outer Rlm71 splinter on the starboard wing to get a cleaner line either side of it and also to make the bottom slightly wider.











I'll mess around with the undercarriage today so that I can install them and then seal the paint in with some Klear.

Mark
