Thank you skyhiker! I would not have thought of that.

Excellent work!!! I think this is why I want a 3D Resin Printer!!!

I will mask using that technique, the mask I cut is useful to give me the locations

Just picked up the 15" 1/48 Space 1999 Hawk Mk IX Interceptor. Looks to be a very nice kit. Pleasantly surprised at the details, nice heavy plastic. I really wanted a big one of these, and this is the largest I could afford, so far it's well worth the money. Plus I bought it straight from the Gerry Anderson site, as it was cheaper than anywhere else. Thinking about scratching a cockpit interior for it, although in the show it didn't have one. Not sure what version I'll do, pre production, from the episode, or a custom version. But it'll be a fun build.

Ben M
Looks cool!

Ian Doody kirjailija
That's it for today, just basic construction of engine rocket boosters, sponson rockets and painted the inside black, can't be bothered to scratch an interior this time, I'll tint the windows yellow, for a moody 70s look.

David Taylor
Count me in.

Ian Doody kirjailija
Where I'm at so far, added the cockpit glass, slightly tinted. I'm painting anti flash black around the cockpit windows, as this seems logical.

Ian Doody kirjailija
That's me done for today, built and painted the Hawk's Nuclear reactor chamber and main booster rocket.

Ian Doody kirjailija
I lied, oddly for me I'm a bit addicted to this one. Fun so far, but now I need a break, not bothered about the obvious seam lines down the lower fuel tanks, as they get covered up by the pannier sponson booster rockets. more tomorrow.

Ben M
Paintwork is looking good

Gareth Lloyd
Thanks for the Like on my attempt at this Ian. Your's is shaping up to be way better than mine was (nothing new there 😁). Looking forward to see how you tackle the curve on the Orange section on the nose.

Villiers de Vos
Booking my seat.

Chrisswe kirjailija
Hope I can make it interesting to follow.
The kit doesn't seem very complicated and the Eduard photo etch is mild level. Just the open doors are a new thing for me. They might cause problems when painting and building modules together.

Guy Rump

Chrisswe kirjailija
Progress has been slow but I got some work done last days.

Jörg Schäfer

Chrisswe kirjailija
I think this project will pick up pace now when I have finished Schleswig-holstein. This is the first ship I build with waterline option and it was very hard to fix the hull seam. I did several cycles of filling, sanding and priming and still it is very visible.

Villiers de Vos
Very nice progress.

Chrisswe kirjailija
Thanks Villiers! My daughter asked me today if I had only built two ships and one small plane after working such a long time. She looked incredulous when I told her that was actually the case🙂

Ben M
Same plus I owned a 63 in "real life"

Thomas O'Eh
This may be no consolation, but it is the same issue with the Revell Samba bus.

bughunter
Oh, that are a lot of ejection marks!
For raised ones I use a scalpel nr 15, if there is enough space around. In the middle of pic 1 are some with tight structures around. Here I would use a model chisel like this one (example, there are different sizes): Chisel F2 (Master Tools 09924, No)
Deepened ones can be closed with round pieces of styrene (made with punch and die, in the matching diameter.

Snake Plissken
The X-Acto #17 chisel blade is also excellent for removing ejector pin marks. It can be used in the normal chisel angle as well as perpendicular to the surface as a scraper. #17 Lightweight Chiseling Blades - 5 Pcs (X-ACTO X217, No)

Ben M
The metal floor should be corrugated on a type 2, so another approach would be to hide them under corrugated panels.

Edouard Carr
Following 😉

Jennifer Nijhuis kirjailija
Thank you so much for the comments. I'm in the middle of removing them. Some of them are really high. I use everything I have on the hand (Saw, chisel, scalpel, sandpaper). For some I even used a dremel (really cautious) Even if i would hide the behind corrugated panels (God idea by the way) I still have to remove them before.
You can see in the next picture how high there are. Ione was almost 1mm

Bozzer
I'm liking those plates. I applaud anyone, who tries to advance their skills. And you did it right, by trying this on the bottom first.

Bozzer
Personally, I think that a bit more, would work. Anyone who's owned or worked on an old VW, knows that they're covered in rust. However, you've mastered that technique and it's worked beautifully!
Keep at it, and good luck 👍

Ben M
Yeah air cooled vws tend to be very rusty - you nailed it! Mine literally had holes in the footwell area in front. I used an air chisel to cut the skin off an old hot water tank found by the side of the road and used the sheet metal to patch my floo

Bozzer
That body looks too good to spoil. Excellent work so far. You have me captivated.

Yngve N

Working on the Concept of my Diorama. I never build one before, The Barrels and Jerry Cans are 3D printed. The rims are from an old kit I build, but didn't survive one of my moves. The bumber was in the Hasegawa Kit. The wooden Fence is not finished.

Simon O'Gorman
Absolutely fantastic! And thanks for adding comments, really enjoyable to spin through the album. Congrats.

Guy Rump
Looking great, following. 👍

Mona
looking forward to seeing more of this project👍.my uncle(5th SF) was in country just after TET and one of the few things he ever... spoke of more than once, was about riding on top of a M113 that rolled over a mine

Mathias Decommere kirjailija
Thank you Mona, that must have been a terrifying experience. The idea would be a fortified position in the Mekong Delta. I'm planning to build a sandback bunker and a piece of ricefield. The M113's will be stationary in a defensive position. Soldiers will be relaxed not knowing what is coming. But the layout is still evolving. Haven't decide the size of the groundwork yet. I'll be starting the diorama base soon... Will be continued 😉

Neuling
Looking forward ........

Spanjaard
vehicles look really good, looking forward the rest of the dio

Kim Branders
Love the dusty look.

Mathias Decommere kirjailija
Thank you Neuling, Spanjaard and Kim! I'm starting the diobase this week!

Mr James
Looking good Mathias. Lovely work on the M113's. What did you use as the 50 cal casings?

Mathias Decommere kirjailija
Thanks Mr James, I used simply the copper of an electric wire. An idea I got from lasercreationworld. It is a bit too narrow, but the overal impression works I think.

Rui S
The vehicles turned out great 👍

Thomas E.
Very nice looking vehicles, above all the interior; also the entire scene - I'm very curious about this diorama.

I like the palm tree leaf. Did you make it yourself?

Mathias Decommere kirjailija
I did, another 79 to go...😅

Nice work. What did you make out of, paper?

Pietro De Angelis
Good "gardening" work then Mathias,
you will have all my comprehension!🤗

Spanjaard
more details about the palm tree please 🙂

Mathias Decommere kirjailija
I'm experimenting with a thermoplastic called Worbla. This leaf was manually made. Next try is to lasercut it. If this is possible, the possibilities will be endless!!

gorby
I've not heard of Worbla before. This is an interesting video about using it:

Mathias Decommere kirjailija
I used it for my other artwork: instagram.com/artrop..gsh=OWh4c2Jyd2Vqamgy

Looking good Mathias, like the bag work on the outpost. 👍🥸👍

nice yo see those old Verlinden being still usted in a dio 🙂

Rui S
Nice progress 👍 Keep it coming

CaptGPF
OMG - I'm so glad I saw this. The M113s are simply stunning! The Dio is really shaping up to be a killer as well - don't know how you havent\'t gone crazy building the palm leaves, but wow!!!!

Mathias Decommere kirjailija
@CaptGPF, thanks man! I cheated a bit on the palmleaves. I lasercutter the leafs in a thermoplast sheet, but there is still a lot of finalising to do offcourse. I don't think this method has been tried before... Also thank you Rui!

Spanjaard
cheated? i certainly disagree. you did a great use of what you have at hand. why should you buy the same stuff as aftermarket if you can make your own? 😉 great job

CaptGPF
Totally agree with Spanjaard - it's not cheating if you make it yourself. Making kits doesn't mean you have to suffer if a more efficient way can be used!

Mathias Decommere kirjailija
Thanks for the approval guys! Very excited to see the end result

Mona
amazing work ..mad skills, Mathias

Mathias Decommere kirjailija
Love your comment Mona!

Looking excellent so far. The palm trees are the most realistically modelled ones I've seen.

Interesting approach to simply sand the control surface structure in the primer. I'll keep my fingers crossed for a good result.

Denis Dogadov
As a base for the red color, you need to use yellow, then the red will be bright.If you put red on white, you will get just pink.

bughunter
Michael, using different primers for one top coat is my idea! The usage of my idea is geBIERenpflichtig! 🙂

Łukasz Gliński
Looks like you're the partial member of The Infanous Order of The Pink Primer 😋

Guy Rump
Looking good, following. 👍

Michael Kohl kirjailija
@ Nicolas: I cross my fingers too. But looks like I have to do some homework before the final coat (see below 🙂 )

@ Denis: thanks for your input. I tested your suggestion on a scrab wing. With LP-7 I get a nice hue as well over white primer and pink base alike. Problem is that there is almost no difference between them. Over yellow (XF-3) the red receives a rather orange hue which I do not like for this project. But I am optimistic to finetune that and use lighter yellow or buff as base coat and see how that turns out. I'll keep you posted.

@Frank: So, se wollen erheben ne kleene GeBIER?!
Da trifft es sich ja gut, dass mein diesjähriger Adventskalender aus 24 Flaschen feinem fränkischen Bier aus 24 verschiedenen Brauereien besteht. Es wird mir eine Freude sein, ein-zwei-drei mit Dir zu teilen - in N?! In M?! Gruß 🙂

@Lukasz: I applied, but as PartPrimerer I am only allowed into the Entree so far. Full membetship pending. 🙂

Welcome Guy

Denis Dogadov
Yes, I will be interested in what your red color will turn out to be. I recently painted small parts red, but there was a noticeable difference in color, depending on the color of the soil. Perhaps your LP-7 is better.

Michael Kohl kirjailija
I tested a couple of base coat variations for LP-7. A nice combination in my eyes is achieved when using Mr. Hobbycolor H413 yellow as base for the darker areas and pink (Tamiya X-17) for the lighter ones. But that would have meant to redo the whole base paint. So I stuck to my combination and mourned the loss of contrast.

Mark Sherwood
Looks good to me Michael. 🤘🥸👍

Cuajete
Me 2! 👍

Jennifer Franklin
That is a gorgeous colour red

Christoph Kunz
I say the same as Mark and Jennifer. 👍

Łukasz Gliński
Add some white today and it will be perfect Xmas gift just in time 😋

Jennifer Franklin
There's the white! Perfect Xmas gift.

Jakub Biganovsky
Really great job. I appreciate your approach.
I didn`t test different base color. I used GS Aquarius H23 at first piece at black surfacer, and it wasn`t fine. I will use gloss yellow at 2nd piece.
How did you do such perfect wing bottom side. It looks really nice. I had relatively big gap there and some residual step although I precisely brushed big material layer out from both wing half. Maybe, the used glue did a step at the end.
I thing, that this, wings bottom, is weakest part of this model although, as you ar writing, engine nacceles also need some attention.

Bernhard Schrock
A nice red! 🙂

Michael Kohl kirjailija
Welcome mates and thanks for your encouraging and funny comments. Bottomline I am quite happy with the shade of red. I just haven't made up my mind about how gloss it should appear finally. If I would have had access to a cutter I would have scanned the bigger decals and cut masks for painting the letters.
Now what's left are the tail skid and a few bits and pieces at the wings and the stabiliser.

@Jakub: wing assembly requires some scraping and dry fitting. With super thin cement I didn't encounter any issues afterwards. But there still remains a considerable gap towards the flaps and ailerons which I filled with super glue.

Mark Sherwood
By Gum. That's a lovely looking aircraft. Kudos Michael. 🤘🥸🤟

progress is a bit slow as the last figure I bought needed a decent makeover due to casting imperfections. Same with the barrels I bought. Issues I weren't used to from.Balaton and White Storck Models.

Very nicely done 👍

Michael Kohl kirjailija
Thanks Alec. Yesterday two figures were painted, the barrels redone and after I went full circle I am back again at the high base which I left for - first a bigger, then a smaller one with different layouts. Now I am confident with the actual concept and I am optimistic that I can still finish it for the Moson Model Show end of april.

I spent the last week working on this one. Still needs a little more weathering, a little touch up and antenna added. Pretty close to complete...

Dave
That's looks great.

Desert Marlin kirjailija
The Tamiya kit is amazing. The features of having the cowling open (or closed) just by taking the prop off and then removing the closed cowling and replacing it with the open cowling is awesome. I was fretting which way to make the kit, but this is not a choice I had to make. It's made with both options simultaneously and configured as needed for display!

Villiers de Vos
Very nice work. I like the detailing and paint work.

Desert Marlin kirjailija
Thanks!The mottling is really kinda unpredictable depending on the paint I use. Right now, I am running out of the Model Master Luftwaffe colors so I am switching over to the Mr. Hobby Aqueous colors. They are really fine for sure!

Great work so far 🍿

Slight off topic I'm interested in the storage you have behind it. Particularly the one between the brush storage and the three tall draws. My question is de you convert another storage to give the racks for your tray things and if so how/what did you convert? I have the same storage system but have not found anything like that rack and it's a great idea I'd like to use.
Cheers and keep the good work going as it's going to be a great model. 👍

Roland Sachsenhofer kirjailija
The 'Field Workshop' from Minicraft has been running for a while now, and now I've decided to finish it: I can use parts of it quite well when equipping the Junkers D.1 picture-documentation!
I would have liked a little more detail in one or two places - for example on the fittings of the pressurised bottles - Minicraft has a very good reputation here, but otherwise I'm very pleased with the subject matter and the kit design. The pictures show my attempt to breathe a little life into this beautiful and well-made kit parts. You should be able to find excerpts of them in pictures of completed models - so there will be a chance to see them again! 🙂

Thank you very much, mates! Great that you like it- I wish a lot of enjoyment with this modelling project a little off the beaten track

Rui S
Beautiful work 👍

Thank you Rui!

There seems to be nothing you cannot bring to shine ........ 🙂

Spanjaard
that will be an excellent background for any model you want use with!

Alec K
Wow, excellent 👍. Are the tracks commercially available?

Jeremias H
Looks real nice!
@Alec K should be available here mikeresin.com/ I also have him bookmarked for future projects in 1/72 and 1/48.

Yury
Looks great, but... there's a mistake in the slogan - one word is missing, it should be "Победа будет за нами" ("Victory will be ours").

Rui S
Very well done paintjob 👍

Zsolt Czegle
Jó lett, tetszik 👍 (csak a makett) a jármű nem a kedvencem...... 🙂

Finn
Nice paintjob!

Excellent small scale build!

Ulf Petersen
Frank, this model is one of my favourites out of your kitchen as I had the honour to see it live in Wilnsdorf this year.
What you have achieved here is simply a masterpiece!👍
My deepest respect, master of soldering!

Bernhard Schrock
Manchmal greife ich auch zum
Lötkolben und fluche wenn beim Löten an einer Stell drei benachbarte fertige Lötstellen wieder aufgehen. Daher wie Ulf treffend schrieb: Meisterleistung und auch von mir ein gaaaanz großer Respekt. Fand AJP immer schon klasse, hab mich aber nie getraut auch wenn es m.E. der einzige Weg ist, Rippen und Stoff realistisch darzustellen. Hut ab!!!

Ben STONE
Beautiful

bughunter kirjailija
Thank you all 😄
I should post my soldered Strip downs too. In 1:72 this is more complicated as this AJP Kit.
BTW: Sorry for the duplicate pictures, but I haven't found out yet, how to delete them.

Ulf Petersen
You definitely should, Frank!
You just can't deprive this community of your artworks!

Mathias Carl
Maybe you should show some work-in-Progress Pictures here. Your scratchbuild engine is simply awesome. 👍

Bart Goesaert
that's a rigging party I've luckily missed, but as with your other models... splendid work...

bughunter kirjailija
Thx! Good idea, I added some pics of the building process, especially for the engine.

Es-haq Khosravi
Great job!!!

Choppa Nutta
gem

Bart Goesaert
superb work, how did you make the linen?

bughunter kirjailija
The wings of the AJP Kits are PE parts, contains also thin yellow paper. I painted the brass wood brown to avoid the yellow brass shine and covered both sides with this paper as described in manual (it is a bit tricky). I added again some picture to explain.

Bart Goesaert
thx for the info.

Es-haq Khosravi
Wow!

bughunter kirjailija
If you move with such paper models to exhibitions you have to care for air humidity during transport and show!

Lex Jassies
Chapeau! It's a small gem.

Dave Jones
Wow

Urban Gardini
Fantastic job mate! The pioneers of flight for sure either had big balls or was insane to get up in the sky with contraptions like this!

bughunter kirjailija
Thank you! The pilots were really cool B) The guide during my build was this picture of the Demoiselle in Le Bourget (full resolution in wikipedia):[img1]

Erik Leijdens
Another impressive build 👍

MRMLA
Really impressive work here Sir! 👍 👍 👍 And You are Great Modeller Magician! No more words, just silently gazing...

bughunter kirjailija
Thank you very much!

Spanjaard
an absolute masterpiece.

gorby
Nothing short of a work of art – again! I wish I had a tenth of your patience and skill.

Mike Grant
Good grief. Amazing work 👍

bughunter kirjailija
Mates, thx for your nice words! 😄

Robert Podkoński
This is amazing indeed!

bughunter kirjailija
Thank you Robert!
I have to admit that the pictures are a bit small by today's standards. I'll see if I can replace them with larger versions.

Robert Podkoński
That's a fantastic idea 👍

Yngve N
I really enjoy how Scalemates' newsfeed every now and then brings up old stuff because someone wrote a comment. Like this impressive build. Amazing work with small details

Neuling
Same as Yngve N

John
Watching, nice progress. I love the old Monograms, lots of work but they look pretty good.

Villiers de Vos
Very nice work so far.

Neil kirjailija
Hello John and Villiers, thanks for stopping by 🙂 and thanks for your comments and also others for likes too. I'm with you John, I like these old Monogram kits 👍 - well you know I have a penchant for vintage builds anyway! 🙂 I've never built a Panther before - such a lovely shaped airframe, I think I'm gonna enjoy.

Neil kirjailija
And another one past the finishing post! Started in 2023. A great Monogram kit. The most demanding part of this was ensuring the decal positioning around the forward cameras in the nose and the external fuel tanks. Overall an enjoyable build of a cool shaped 'jet age' aircraft. Hope you like it. Thanks to those who've liked 🙂👍

Nick Dragone
Stellar work ! Nice job

Looks great. I love the navy blue era of Grumman's cats.
