Thanks for the replies gents

Hey mate, nice work on both of those. Did you say its your first airbrush job? What airbrush did you get?
cheers

I'm using an Iwata Eclipse, but need to use it with a bit more finesse rather than open the taps and hose the paint on

Ha ha I'm in the mask and hose camp myself! I'm just glad to get paint out of the things sometimes. I've got a little bit better one now I will try a bit harder. Cute little Boomerang

Just completed this for the Road and Track: Civilian GB
It's the Italeri 24th scale 360 M19 Magirus

































Must post more of my progress in here

Wow, Nigel. That's really awesome. I've never considered building something like this, even. So cool to see you build it.

[Stuart]

That looks excellent Nigel - very nice work indeed!

[Lone Modeller]

Until I saw the paint pot I thought that you were showing us photos of the real thing to compare your model with...

First class.

[Battletweety]

This is great Nigel. A really superb model. Great to finally see something come out of the Nigel workshop.

Cheers

Wow! That is one perfect model Nigel. I'll never get such a clean finish.

[Clashcityrocker]

Thanks for the nice comments gents. Really appreciate it. Before taking part in the GB, I'd had the Airfix Gladiator on the bench. This is as far as I got







Lots of holes drilled for rigging

Those crosses on the interplane struts look novel.... Were they some form of reinforcement that I have not seen on photos before?!

Hi LM. That would be these



A jig already moulded into the struts by Airfix. Once you have the top and bottom wings joined together, remove those parts.

Pretty clever approach. Arma hobby does something similar with their Fokker landing gear. I wish we could see more of this.

I wonder if the bulldog kit will have something similar

[B4en]

Blimey that's a nice idea from Airfix for the struts! Your Gladi looks great already.

[MoMil]

Very impressive truck and that Gladiator is shaping up nicely

[Lone Modeller]

Making biplane construction easy. All biplane kits should have them, then Vickers Vandall and I would not be the only ones on this site building models of real aeroplanes!!
