Another to add to my RAF post war collection. 🙂

Nicolas
Watching

Guy Rump
Made a start on this kit with the cockpit which is quite basic to say the least, part of the reason I put the pilot and navigator in. 🙂

Welcome Nicolas, pull up a seat. 👍

Many thanks mates for your interest and likes Freak, Andrew B, Istvan S, Villiers DV, J35J, Andre K, Juskifo, Tommy A, NordMito & 1 other mate. 👍

Guy Rump
Added cockpit to the upper fuselage. Lower parts of the tail added to the lower fuselage. Wings and folding mechanism added to lower fuselage. Weight added to the lower part of the nose. I wasn't certain how much to add as there is no indication in the instructions. 🙂

Guy Rump
Fuselage now together and bits of filler here and there. 🙂

Many thanks mate for your interest and like Matti T. 👍

Guy Rump
Just the jet engine intakes added this week as have been away. On the right hand side I had to cut and sand as there was a big extra part of moulding plastic in the way. 🙂

Guy Rump
Canopy masked and fixed. Primer added. 🙂

Guy Rump
Hataka Medium Sea Grey added as the main colour. Tail sprayed Hataka Jet Black. 🙂

Guy Rump
Some vehicles to add for photographing my WW2 aircraft. 🙂

Guy Rump
Made a start on the Ambulance first starting with the underside of the vehicle. 🙂

Guy Rump
Underside of the ambulance painted Vallejo Model Air black. 🙂

Many thanks mate for your interest and like Jan P. 👍

Guy Rump
Body added to chassis. 🙂

Guy Rump
Painted the outside with Vallejo Model Air Dark Earth. 🙂 Next is the inside of the ambulance. 🙂

Many thanks mates for your interest and likes RolfRolf & 1 other mate. 👍

Guy Rump
Internals of the Ambulance now painted Vallejo Model Air Dark Earth and Hataka Khaki Green 3. 🙂

Many thanks mates for your interest and likes Mr D, JK, Alex R, Alex K & 1 other mate. 👍

Guy Rump
Wheels and bonnet etc on. 🙂 Ready for decals and then to move on to the fire tender.🙂

Many thanks mates for your interest and likes J35J & Villiers DV. 👍

Guy Rump
Made a start on the fire tender. Black for underside, start of chassis Hataka Khaki Green No 3. A second camouflage colour will be added at a later date. 🙂

Many thanks mates for your interest and likes Kyle DH, Pietro DA & 1 other mate. 👍

Guy Rump
Cab of fire engine now added. 🙂

Guy Rump
The rest of the main appliances have now been added. 🙂

Robert Podkoński
Watching with interest!

Oleg Bogolei
Haha) Good luck with it! I'm stuck with the UAV version on a putting/sanding and he's waiting for the next inspiration to come)

Kim Harris
Oleg, what's the UAV version? I only found one model of that aircraft.

Oleg Bogolei
Da-42 Dominator (SOVA-M SVM-72009, 1:72)
This one

Kim Harris
Oleg, I understand now. I think that is basically the same kit with different boxart and instructions because mine has about 30% parts not used including the long nose on the Dominator.

Oleg Bogolei
Yes, i have cocpit in my kit)

Alex K
A general aviation aircraft, a demanding kit, and a project with personal/family connection... > I'll be glad to follow your efforts - good luck!

Thomas Kolb
This is going to be great! Watching with interest!

MP_MP
The UAV version hasn't got any clear windows included
Was a bit tricky to build at times but fun.
Will be nice to see a GA version build. Thinking of getting that one as well.

Finn
Will follow

Cuajete
I also have one of this in my stash...
Following!

Mr D
Like it, it's a tiny one ... good fun 😀👍👍

Gordon Sørensen
Looks like a challenging kit with lots of small pieces and lots of flash.
It looks like the 'cooling fins' are suppose to be mounted from the inside of the nacelle, not on top…

Kim Harris
Gordon. I just checked and you are absolutely correct. I will try to remove it and insert the relevant part from above. I need yo figure out a way to remove a glued on part that has been primed with minimal damage. What an idiotic thing to do.

Ben M
I find working tamiya extra thin into the joint allows it to be loosened up and pulled apart.

Kim Harris
Ben, thank you for your suggestion. I will try that! Otherwise I will be deploying a razor saw and putty 😀

Guy Rump
I forgot to put this in the ideas so it is starting "in progress".

Made a start with the cockpit and some weight in the nose, hopefully it's enough. 🙂

The Gnat had the canopy added, masked and then primer applied (light grey). I have painted the yellow with 3 coats of Vallejo Model Air Medium yellow and 2 coats of Hataka BS Golden Yellow. Next will be the tail. 🙂

Many thanks mate for your interest and like Sukhoi242. 👍

Guy Rump
Tail now painted black with yellow. 🙂

S M
Nice Yellowjack!👍

Mr D
Good to see the yellow on it, dose look good in the yellow.
Takes your time on the landing gear, can be little fiddly.
Good stuff 👌, thanks for uploading

Guy Rump
Sprayed with gloss varnish and then added the decals. Next will be adding the wheels and other ancillaries. 🙂

Many thanks for your kind comments SM and Mr D, they are greatly appreciated. @ Mr D, The front landing gear was very difficult to get off the sprue so I know what you mean. 👍

Many thanks mates for your interest and likes SM & Mr D. 👍

Guy Rump
Now completed, this is a Folland Gnat from the Yellowjacks display team based at RAF Valley, Anglesey in 1964, a forerunner team of the Red Arrows. 🙂 The last photo is a picture of the actual aircraft.

Many thanks mates for your interest and likes Duster_d, JK, Franck D, Joseph L & Alex R. 👍

Mr D
Hi Guy.
Nice to see it finished 👍
Looking nice, be good addition to the collection, like the yellow rudder.
How did the yellow paint go ? Can be an awkward colour.
Nice job👌 good stuff 👍👍

Robert Podkoński
Lovely!

Nicolas
Nice result guy. 👍

Ekki
Well done!

Guy Rump
@Mr D, I used a very light grey primer followed by Vallejo Model Air Medium Yellow and then Hataka Trainer Yellow x 2 coats over that. They went on better than I expected. 🙂

Hajo Lippke
I like the cockpit! But are you sure with the grey colour for the backside and top of the instrument panel?

Guy Rump
Cockpit and main engine fitted to one side of the fuselage. 🙂

I agree with you Hajo, I have painted the top and back of the instrument panel (where there are no decals) black. I had intended to use a darker grey but the one I did use was quite light. 👍

Many thanks mates for your interest and likes Villiers DV, Neil P, Bernd G & Karel D. 👍

Guy Rump
Made a start today. First thing to do was decide if a MK.1 or Mk.2 was to be built. I've decided on the Mk.1 so I had to cut out the parts as shown in the photo. 🙂

Underside of wing painted with Vallejo Model Air black & insignia white. 🙂

Guy Rump
Did the upperside of the wings with Vallejo Model Air Dark Earth and Dark Green. Invasion stripes to be added next. 🙂

Many thanks mate for your interest and like Pietro DA. 👍

Neil Patrick
I built this about 20 years ago Guy as a gift for a WW2 Horsa pilot who was a friend of my wife's family. He'd flown Horsas into Normandy and Arnhem. He loved the model and it sat in his living room for the rest of his days. It's a nice kit as I recall.

Guy Rump
Invasion stripes are now on the wings. Next is to start painting the invasion stripes on the fuselage. 🙂

@ Neil, it is quite a nice kit considering its age. The fact that you gifted a Horsa model to an actual Horsa pilot veteran is something that must have been hugely gratifying. 👍

Many thanks mates for your interest and likes Villiers DV, Sebastien C, Neil P & 2 other mates. 👍

Guy Rump
Fuselage painted Dark Earth, BS Dark Green and black including invasion stripes. Gap is for where the wings are added. 🙂

Thank you mates and welcome to the aboard!

Robert Podkoński
A little late, but from now I will surely watch this talent show!

Zsolt Czegle
There model is finished.

Towards the end I didn't feel like building it anymore. Somehow the enthusiasm ran out over time. It serms that the "forced buildng" doesn't work for me. But the model had to be ready for August 31st, our club's 30th competition. Last year, we distributed 10 identical kits to our scsle modeling friends to build for our anniversary event. That's how mine worked out.

Robert Podkoński
Great job, Zsolt! It was worth to finish it in the end, wasn't it?

Zsolt Czegle
You have right Robert it was....

Shar Dipree
Great result.very nice Leopard. 👍
But please don't do crafts under "force" as that will only take away the fun from the hobby.
Sometimes I lose interest in it, especially if the project takes too long. Then I'll continue building another one in the meantime. At some point the desire will come back again.

Bohrmann
I am new to modelling but tasks, deadlines and 'must do's' take the fun out of this fantastic hobby. It then becomes a task, it becomes work. When you make a hobby a job you lose a hobby. I enjoy every model you post here because they just look fantastic and inspire me. Besides skill, passion is a part of every model. Please don't lose this part 'man with the blue match'. 😉

Zsolt Czegle
Our model club organized its 30th model competition this year. Last year, we distributed 10 identical Vespid Leopard 2 models to friendly clubs and model makers to build and bring to our competition. I built the copy for our club. That's why I wrote that it was forced build. I wasn't completely attuned to the topic. I would rather stop than completed the model

Transall NG
Hello Guy,
You may try fishing wire "UNI-Caenis 20 Den Black" for your next antennas wire : it is like spandex, has some elasticity, and doesn't need to be stretched so mast doesn't bend.
It is also very convincing for 1/72 : i can't see it if i don't wear my glasses...
Fine work !

Guy Rump
Hi Transall NG, many thanks for your kind comment and tip for an improved method for antenna wire, I'll definitely be giving it a go in the near future! 👍
