Awesome!

LC
this sounds like quite a fun and unique idea

Nathan Dempsey
Thanks LC76. Welcome to the build!

Torsten
LOL, follow ^^

Robert Podkoński
Watching for sure!

Nathan Dempsey
Welcome Torsten & Robert!
I've started the fuselage assembly and clamps were needed.

Dutch
Nathan, I am following along as well. I have friends in eastern Ukraine, so very interested in this one. Kind regards, Dutch

Nathan Dempsey
Welcome Dutch! This build is turning into a slog. Clamps and super-glue "force-holds" galore. Luckily it is a tiny plane so I'm nearly done already, just completing all the seam sanding.

Nathan Dempsey
Working on the cowl. I had to use 2-part epoxy clay to fill a large gap on the bottom of the cowl that was created by making the cowl fit straight & level.

Nathan Dempsey
Working on masking the camo pattern today.

Dutch
Looking good. Keep up the progress. The splinter pattern will be stupendous when done.

Nathan Dempsey
Thanks Dutch! Man I just realized looking at pictures that the wing camo is a mirror image for the other wing. It won't be perfect… 😁

Ben M
Ah, amodel 🙂

Dutch
Ben, I feel you!

Nathan Dempsey
Welcome to the show Ben! I've applied the first color today. Now off to cut masks for the next color. I've been spoiled by those pre-cut masks…

Dutch
Nathan, quick question. Why not just spray the first color overall, then mask only the subsequent colors? Saves at least one step, I should think. Carry on. I am enjoying the show.

Nathan Dempsey
In this case I just got a little too happy masking. I even decided against my usual preshade since this plane's paint looks really new in all the pictures.

Dutch
Yeah, I can understand the excitement factor!

Dutch
Nathan, are you going to put kill markings on it?

Nathan Dempsey
Well my printer is dead, but my dad has a similar one so I'm going to try… Wish me luck.

Nathan Dempsey
The second color has been applied. Slow going here as my workbench time has been lacking.

Dutch
Okay! Coming along nicely!

Nathan Dempsey
Thanks Dutch! Today I masked off the areas for the gloss black. The tan colored areas are quite small, but they're everywhere. Tamiya tape stock is going up!!

Nathan Dempsey
Well my gloss black was solidified, so flat black will have to do. Hopefully it will all even out when the clear is applied

Jennifer Franklin
Impressive detail work!

Villiers de Vos
Very nice work so far on the camouflage scheme.

Nathan Dempsey
Thanks Jennifer and Villiers!

Work continues on masking these tiny sections.

alexanderb
Ok i forgot to write at the shipping adress that country is GREECE..

Miguel Angel Fernandez Garcia
Hello. You can do the payment. Remember if you do the payment on Paypal you must add a quantity due to the comissions of the platform for no national money orders. From Spain to other countries is 1,99 euros. From Greece to other countries i don't know.

¿whats your name? to add in the address that you gave above.

Miguel Angel Fernandez Garcia
The option that i comment is to send money to family and friends. I think that sent money for a comercial trade is more expensive.

alexanderb

alexanderb

Robert Podkoński
Taking a seat!

bughunter
Wow Robert, you were very fast while I'm uploading and adding a description to the pics! Welcome!

That is not really a WIP album yet, but I made an experiment on a left over Pfalz wing to reach to look of the colored profile painted again by Ronny Bar:
Primed gray, added Semi Matt Aluminium, masked and painted two crosses.
The dark red at the front will be a different story ...
Then I tried different highly thinned blue paints. H322 was not bad, but do not cover the black cross, or only with very much paint. But I'm happy after adding a drop of light gray to the paint mix.

Ricardo Reis
Another beauty, @bughunter? Following! 🙂

bughunter
Welcome Ricardo!
In principle, this will be a replica of my last project, as it is the same kit, with some slight differences. And a different painting 🙂

Kesa Tiho
Silly looking truck 👍

Robert Podkoński
Taking a seat, of course!

Spanjaard
first row available? great, ready for the scratch master class 🙂
and a bit of fun too, of course 😉

gorby
Welcome to the build mates.
Kesa: Sillier the better for me. I go out of my way to find odd things to build. 🙂

David Taylor
Back in.

gorby
👍 🙂

Łukasz Gliński
I love the armoured cars and Gorbs' projects - I have to watch this too 👍

gorby
Welcome Lukasz. I hope the end result won't disappoint. 🙂

CaptGPF
I often winder how you choose your next topic for scratch builds! The subject matter is always something different or interesting - and the builds just phenomenal! Taking a seat to see the next creation!

Greg Baker
Oh, this is cool. I scratch-built an armoured car too - nothing this intense though - so I'm super-keen to see this one shape up.

gorby
Thanks both. 👍
Capt: for this one I went looking for something Norwegian, because that was the subject of the GB for Jens. It had to be something I'd be able to scratch build (as I was too tight to open my wallet to buy something. 😄 ). Normally it's because I just stumble on an interesting picture. 🙂

John Hughes
Another case of Norway nul points?

Alec K
Splendid, I am in 👍

gorby
😄 😄
Glad you could both join in. 🙂

gorby
New photos start from number 13
Build stage is now complete, just need to get the crayons out to colour it in. 😉

Łukasz Gliński
Those rivets look good 👍

Kesa Tiho
Silly angry black truck 👍

gorby
😄 😄 😄
Soon it'll be a silly, moderately angry grey truck. 🙂
Thanks for your comments mates. 👍

Alec K
Nice progress on this dry teabag-proof vehicle 👍😂

gorby
Teabag-proof is a bit of a stretch. I suspect the insurance would have been void if they drove past Tetley's.
I'm currently making a pigs-ear of the weathering. No change there then. 😄
Thanks Alec. 👍

gorby
I'm not one of those people who claim to have a remarkable super-power...the ability to know what colour something is in a black and white photo. I haven't found anywhere which mentions what colour it was, so I'm going grey. Actually most of my hair fell out before I went grey but that's probably down to living with a daughter all those years ago. 😄
Oh yes, grey. I used Tamiya XF-87 as I thought that would be the most actuate shade of grey for something I know nothing about. Or it could equally be that I've got a lot of XF-87. Seems like a good enough reason to me.
I hope to get the completed pics posted at the weekend.
