Making the MothNew: 17 November, 12:51 1:72
And there it is! I'd be embarrassed to say how long this took, and it's packed full of mistakes and semi-mended disaster...
Project: Tiger Moth

I felt very uncomfortable cutting out the fuselage sections - I'd never done that before - but with the doors dropped open it means the cockpit will be more open.

Ah, cool! It's my first go at airbrushing and all going very slowly. But I'll get there in the end.

Me too... I've built the ancient-tool Airfix, but I have also bought the new one, and watching your work progress helps a lot.

Ah, look forward to seeing how you go lads. I'm no expert I'm afraid but you may pick up some tips as to what not to do

Terrific journalism on this build, I see the learning curve has yielded results! Bravo.

Thanks Andy, I'm recording the all the disasters along with the little wins. And the learning curve has been dramatic!

Thank you Ethan, and to everyone above. Encouraging comments are like a little shot adrenaline. They are all very much appreciated.

Thanks Luke, to be honest I couldn't tell if the model was fiddly or I wasn't doing it right.

I built that kit too, and it's tricky to get all the struts and such for the upper wing

Yeah, that was really tricky for me too, Ben. Huge learning curve! What I should have done was glue the outer struts to the bottom and dry-fitted the top until it was set - then glued the centre struts into the top wing, and put the two together. Getting this wrong can ruin the build.

AREA 88 : "The Final Showdown - Part 3" (F-20 Tigershark)1:144
All done but the tail marking decal... that's going to be tricky.

I had to do a bit of work to rescribe he panel trenches. Even after very careful glueing of the fuselage, they didn't even come close to matching up over the seam. Looks much better now.

Had to fight with the airbrush yesterday... so I think I'll need another coat of white paint.

Thanks guys. Masking those thin lines was a real pain, but hopefully it'll be worth it in the end.

Hi Greg. This project looks awesome but the whole collection is mind-blowing!! I'll be pulling up a chair whenever you're at the bench.

Thanks Gary, there's always plenty of room, so feel free to stretch out and make yourself comfortable. I'm getting close to done on the F-20, but his is a dual build with a F-18 Hornet. That one's been side-lined due to a missing canopy, but a kind soul on another forum sent me a replacement, so hopefully the whole thing will get back on track soon enough.

Thanks Jeramy. I just really like trying to capture the essence of the scene off the comicbook pages. That's sort of why I include the artwork on the wooden bases... it makes me feel like it's jumping off the page and into my hands. 🙂

There are several 1/24 scale Area 88 figures that came boxed with the old Takara 1/100 boxes - strobez.ca/wp/index...-100-scale-projects/ - I started working on one of the Shin ones "off the side of the workbench".

Really sweet work. Small stuff like this really shows off your skill. Looks like the paint could be on a 1/32 scale plane.

Wow, Chris. That's some high praise indeed. I will say that I've put quite a bit of time into getting those tricky stripes painted well enough.

So, this half of the project is basically done. I still have to struggle a bit with Shin's "flaming unicorn" crest on the tail. Getting homemade decals on anything other than a white background is always tricky. Let's see if I can outfox it this time...

How about take the approach of start with a white tail and make a whole tail decal?
