Ural slow bench...
Re: Ural slow bench...
You are doing fantastic work here, Henry
Besting 60 years of mediocre building of average kits in the stand off scale
Re: Ural slow bench...
Thanks to all!
I had to delay my projects just a few, because a good friend from LAN Chile, ask me to make a couple of kits for a common friend.
So I start to build the excellent Airfix Gladiator and C-47, I must say that both are lovely kits!
It´s a real pleasure to build!
at the same time, I start the C-47 for the same friend!
untill now, I believe both are amazing kits!

Re: Ural slow bench...
hope you all have had great christmas...
In this days is hard to can do many things on kits, but any way I try! I keep working in the kits for my friend, Gladiator and C-47.
this have a great interior, but unfortunately, most of it will be hiden inside fuselaje.
In the other hand, with cargo door open, you can see this well done fuselaje interior!
Interior green and pigments are from K4 range.
I really expect better joins, but, is nothing terrible!
Best regards to all, hope to come again before end of the year!!

Re: Ural slow bench...
Thank you very much to all for your comments!!
David! me too!! but those are for a friend, so, I need to make them as soon as possible, in order to can follow with my Invader!
After three weeks on vacations! (Two years without them) I retake the work.
I need to paint some parts of the Gladiator, to can add the cowling, and superior wing.
the kit is so well engineered, and the fit is so precise, that I use putty only in the aft lower part of the fuselage, in the zone where pieces where attached to sprue, and just a little touch!
I{m using the Chilean brand K4, acrilic paint, they work fantastic!
I{m really amazed with the level of detail of the kit, and the grain of the paint! both very good, the skin on wings looks real!!
thanks to all again for watch my work! is very good to know you can share work with people that understand this passion!
regards
Henry

Re: Ural slow bench...
I agree with you Henry regarding the fabric texture on the recent Airfix toolings; I have just finished their BE2c and the texture even through brush painted acrylic is still visible and makes a huge difference.
Like the work so far on the Gladiator

Re: Ural slow bench...
Great work with the Gladiator Henry and I agree it looks to be a really nice kit. The detail on the Airfix new tool kits that I have built so far is really very good indeed although I experienced a few problems in assembling them, which I blame myself for!
