The Blitzbau House is back ** Finidhed **

[splash]

Come on it blitz time, no time for food.

[Ian]

Food should be included as part of the Blitz, not a precursor!

[Old_Tonto]

Breakfast is served.



And so fed & refreshed, we begin.

Here we go with Cosmics entry.





It looks a bit ambitious to me.

My entry will be this Mustang







so we have supplies and are kicking off now.

[Old_Tonto]

Cosmic is busy carving a flying boat from plastic - their is shrapnel flying all over.



The Revell Mustang looks pretty good although I have read it's not that accurate, good enough for a Blitz though. And at less than a fiver in my price range.



I should have done a bit more research but this month has been a bit hectic so I will just have to follow Revells instructions. Anyone know what colour a P-51B seat should be?

[ShaunW]

With a brekky like that, you two boyz should get off to a great start. Soz, but I've no idea about the seat colour OT.

[Old_Tonto]

Wow, time flies when you are butchering plastic.

This is Cosmic's collection of flash.



That's just what landed on the table!

Here is a clock shot to prove the time:



Cosmic has just gone home because he forgot his wallet this morning! What a muppet.
I don't think he is enjoying the Be-4 at all & I would not be surprised if he doesn't return with a different kit.

The Mustang interior is together:





Not brilliant but you will not see much through the canopy.
Lunch will consist of crisps today as the brekky is laying a bit heavy. I'm glad I had my pre-blitz bowel movement now.

OK. Well engaged. Seat color looks good, food excellent, enough plastic scraps to mold another kit. Situation well in hand.

And we are all still fully closed.

Cosmic is AWOL coz he has lost his wallet. He's not having a good day.

On the other hand the P-51 is coming together nicely. Fit of the wings is excellent.





More to follow.

[ShaunW]

Judging by the amount of plastic lying around, I'd try a different kit if I was Cosmic, that is taking too much effort for a blitz. P-51 looks to be coming together much easier. Who's getting the parmos in?

[splash]

Looks like you are both onto a good start.

Regards Splash

[Old_Tonto]

Who's getting the parmos in?

I will certainly be partaking. Not sure what the others will be having but it won't be healthy.

The Be-4 kit is a real shocker, so far Cosmic has beaten it into this shape:



But the wing fit is a nightmare - I think the parts are from a different kit!



I spent a lot of time masking the Mustang canopy. I can see why people model the bubble canopy versions.
But it's done now.



So next up - its primer time.



Meanwhile its all been a bit much for Cosmic, he is having a nap. It must be the relief of finding his wallet.



This Blitzbau is all happening back to front!

[jssel]

The Be 4 is getting beat into submission. Nothing a belt sander can't fix. But a nap during a blitz. That is a new standard.

[Ian]

The P-51B is a lovely kit. You'll have no issues with that OT.
The Be-4 looks to be another story though. Once Cosmic wakes up, suggest he tries to batter that central wing section into shape with a sledgehammer!!!!

[Old_Tonto]

The Mustang is now getting painted.



I used Xtracrylix XA1113 Faded Olive Drab. I like it a lot although it may darken with a coat of Klear. The underside is a light grey colour.

Cosmic was arisen from his slumber like a new man. I think he must have been a blacksmith in a previous existence.
He has hammered the Be-4 into this shape.



We may take a break for dinner now.

Go cosmic, go cosmic, go cosmic.
