The Widgeon it''s very fine and close to the real thing.

[Barry]

Looks very nice. Haven't seen it in these markings before.

Ok by now I'm working on a big V, the Vulcan...
I have finished the sanding works and now I have to put it in the garage for painting.

masking the engines




another work near the end: Westland Wyvern



wings will be folded

[giulio_gobbi]

Of course, if you paint the Vulcan, do not park your car!

[cast0260]

Sorry Giulio I CAN'T replay with the tablet T9 change every single word...

See : non fior the Vulcano, out surely with the bar Williams occour..

Crazy machine ......

[cast0260]

Of course, if you paint the Vulcan, do not park your car!

I have masked also the car
You will be right when i'll have to "park" the Tupolev Bear somewere...

Here I am, by now I'm working on Athos Portos and Aramis Mousqueteer operation trio..in reality only two are French, the third is British.
They are at different stage of "readiness"

A Trumpeter Westland Wyvern is ready for decals, some small corrections was made after this picture:



a Italaerei (old brand) Republic F-84 F Thunderstreak is ready for cockpit masking and it will be straight from the box (correct?) not rescribed as you can see.



and a Italeri (new brand) Republic RF-84 F Thundreflash is simply not ready, or better, is ready only the cockpit and some small crazy detalis, it will be all rescribed.







I had a fight with the Vulcan, so it's sleeping for a while.

Those must be a very small diameter hole!!! What scale is the Thunderflash and what size drill did you use?

[cast0260]

All my aircraft model are in 1/72 scale.
The drill in millimeters is a 0.30

Here only to share the results:

[giulio_gobbi]

It's great result!

[Ian]

Great devotion with the airbrakes. Great work on the cockpit!

[cast0260]

"metalized"



now some mask and a tone down and up session to shake and revitalize.

[cast0260]

Thunderflash have the wings glued, with a small strip of plasticard to simulate the "air channel for the engine" (better a picture)




I have a lot of "beef on my barbecue" here an Arii/Hase Nakashima Ki 43 I Oscar (started a lot of yeaer ago, when fujimi kits was impossible to buy in Italy, No Hannant's or similia).
