Pretty Mediocre Modeller Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Currently working on this Tamiya (Italeri) 1/72 F-100. Nearly done now then onto the Revell 1/72 Ju 88A-1./media/tinymce_upload/e6cad16258c0945912dbc9727bad5582.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aad Gadgie Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Busy with the Revell 1/144 U-Boat type VIIC/41. Lots of flash & mould seams, especially troublesome on the smaller parts, but it's getting there. I think most of the actual work will be painting & weathering.

Aussie Jeff Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 After finishing my Duck I wanted to do something a bit more simple - a Bf109G-6 (A02029A). Rather than the usual Luftwaffe scheme I doing the Swiss Airforce scheme from 1945. Something a bit different for the shelf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie Jeff Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Looking at my shelf I realised I didn't have enough Spitfires so I dragged out the Eduard Royal Class Quattro Combo Spitfire Mk IX kit from my stash. Four planes selected from 14 schemes - lots of choice with PE and resin parts and paint masks. Have the option of building early or late C-type wing, E-type wing and a clipped wing version. Also included are resin beer barrels to recreate a Spitfire flown by Wing Commander J. E. (Johnnie) Johnson reputed to have brought beer to men in Normandy and hence has the D-Day black and white stipes on the wings and fuselage. Hope I can do them justice.

Toboldlygo Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Newly restarted, a certain B-29A is back on the bench after 16 months... /media/tinymce_upload/0dc1cf8cca6fbb0d6a70b7ed8e598264.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie Jeff Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Now started a pair of Airfix Eindekkers - a II and III. Just two small sprue frames per kit, no canopies to mask and although they are monoplane there is still some rigging to do. But, hey, how hard can it be? We'll see.

Aussie Jeff Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Keeping on the jet theme - 1;72 Airfix MiG 15 (#00017), Series 0 from 1995. Cost me $9 but on opening th tiny box I now know why. Very, very basic. Decided I'll build it like I'm 12 again! 😛 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pretty Mediocre Modeller Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Just started on my Battle of Britain themed build for the 80th anniversary. The Revell 1/72 Junkers Ju-88A-1. I've wanted a kit of a BoB period A-1 in my collection for as long as I can remember. Did think it would be Airfix though, as they have new tooled all the other BoB aircraft!

Very, very basic. Decided I'll build it like I'm 12 again! 😛I think I was about the same age when I built it - it probably took me about half an hour & got a coat of Airfix G8 silver, applied with a cheap, plastic-handled (and bristled!) brush. Happy memories! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a Hurricane, Spitfire, and a Defiant (all Airfix) at the weathering stage. I have an Airfix Ju87B1 half wrapped up in masking tape, and an Airfix Bf109E waiting on the sidelines, along with an Eduard Bf110. It's a shame Airfix didn't re-issue their Do17 for the 80th anniversary, I'd have snapped one up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenneth ONeill Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Heller 1/16 Citroen DS Cabriolet. Engine and gearbox are about built. Trying to select a tasteful colourway for bodywork and interior since the body panels are moulded in red (as per box art) and most of the interior panels (except the fascia which wasn't this colour anyway) are caramel!

Pretty Mediocre Modeller Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Now completed my Ju 88 (see Airfix Forum Gallery 2020 (Pandemic Special!)), and started on the 1/72 MENG F-102A to add to my Vietnam and Century Series collections.

John Symmons Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 "Lets go to the :Lab & See what's on the slab." (For those two people that don't know. It's from the Rocky Horror Picture Show.") I've always wanted to do that since this forum started. Even though I still have a couple of models waiting, since the lock-down in March to be completed, I decided to try and get my Mo-Jo back by starting the Rode Vomag with the 88mm anti-aircraft gun on the back. I've always done Roden kits with a bit of trepidation, as their construction and fit often leads a bit to be desired. I now have the engine and chassis completed, and the aft body and floor. The engine looks great, and is a real beauty, far better than their Opal Blitz one. So far the finnese and fit of the moulded parts has been excellent, (Very un-Roden-ish) Easily up to ICM quality. I can only think they've got themselves a new CAD program. If you see this kit, and are into 1/72 armour give it a try, you might be very pleasently surprised. Gives me hope for some of the new Roden kits I've recently purchased. I'll try and post a completed photo in the pandemic forum if it's still up and running. Remember we do this for fun John the Pom.
