hoi4enjoyer@LiamHi, I see you are from NB as well?
17 December, 18:39
LiamHi,
I'm actually closer to Cut Knife, but put NB on my profile for a better chance to connect with other modellers.
What's your name? What kind of stuff do you make?
Liam
18 December, 05:03
hoi4enjoyerCool! My name is Sven. I live in NB
Only been doing this hobby for about a year so far. Only built WW2 planes and tanks so far but looking to dip my toes into Battleships soon and maybe some Cold War stuff
How about yourself?

LiamHi Sven,
I have been building models since I was a kid. Had a few lulls in the hobby when life was busy. Picked it up again a few years back and went in deep with an airbrush setup.
I only build WWII planes in 1/72 scale.
I am not sure about any other model makers in NB.
Did you want to meet for a coffee sometime and chat?
My number is 306 480 1560

The BlytonianNice. Enjoying the build?
Someday, fingers crossed. On my opportunity buy watchlist.

Desert MarlinYes! It's a great kit. I got one of the special edition with the white metal German Shepherd and the Ernst Rüdel figure. The combinations of parts between Jg 1 and Jg 2 are something to be mindful of however. There are several decals for the car parts so I'm still sorting through that. Time and care must be taken on the cockpit and the figures as there is a lot of posing and seating to be performed before everything is painted. And I am coming back to this one after having started it almost 15 years ago...
23 November, 04:58
Desert MarlinThanks! Picture 5 is wet decal on gloss coated panel. Then two days of working the decal with Mr. Decal Setter and Solvaset. Then gloss coated panel and decal. Then Alclad semi-matte finish. Also used some Tamiya panel line accent between instrument bezels. Then each instrument is given a glass lens using Micro Krystal Klear. Not perfect, but in a dark cockpit it seems okay. The real color and detail will come from the pilot and gunner/radio operator figures…
29 November, 04:32
Rui SI'm not an expert or a spoiler, but I think the 'Kanonenvogel' apeared long after that 🤔
The G1, Specialized tank destroyer evolved in 1942-43.
Basically a conversion of the Ju 87D-3 with attachment points to carry two 37 mm Flak 18 (BK 3,7) cannon in streamlined fairings outboard of the main undercarriage legs. (Cannon attachment points could be exchanged for bomb racks.) Standard defensive armament; often had improved ground vision panel in the cockpit floor.
1 2 December, 13:53
Desert MarlinYou are probably right. I am just building the version I was provided by Hasegawa, which over the years, have not always been accurate! In any event, I find the story (800 takes destroyed) and the era, Kursk 1941/42 to be interesting for sure. This particular Jg 2 scheme smacks of a summer deployment without the eventual knowledge that the impending winter would bring!
2 December, 22:31
Rui SBattle of Kursk. Summer of 1943, from 5 July 😄
The Gunner looks great. Well done 👍
1 2 December, 22:53
Desert MarlinTrue about Kursk. I had worked from the Barbarossa reference which was probably too early for the Ju-87G for sure. Thanks for the compliment! The Hasegawa figures are definitely not 3D printed! Lots of carving to get them in better shape...
3 December, 15:20
Mr DAlways stellar work... Nice to see WW2 subject from you now....... good luck with the build 👍👍
1 8 December, 20:21
Desert MarlinThanks Mr. D. The decals for the inside of the canopies seems to be a little too much work when I can mask the interior and paint the correct color...
1 8 December, 23:22
Desert MarlinSo, the Pilot's hood is really not good. I suppose the middle hood could be too short, but the Pilot's hood is also too tall. About 1 mm too tall. So, if I shave down the bottom of the pilot's hood, I wonder if it will better fill the gap between the back of the Pilot's hood and the middle hood? It seems the gunner's hood fits pretty good.
1 9 December, 03:29
Desert MarlinWell, the canopies have taken days longer than I anticipated. I am almost done with the last (gunner's) canopy. Clearly from the complexity of the gunner's canopy, he had a pretty unenviable job. It looks like the limit bar inside the gunner's canopy, which limits the swing of the guns to prevent damage to the airframe, also limits the visibility of the gunner too!
1 12 December, 16:08
Mr DThe canopy is clear ...you should have a good view of pilot , nice job on crew👍
What have you used to mask the front canopy? or is it just protection?
Coming along nicely 👌👍
1 12 December, 19:44
Desert MarlinMasking has been a combination of 3M Scotch Transparent tape and Tamiya Masking Tape. A little bit of Mr. Masking Sol R and Micro Mask. Just really trying to keep the interior of the canopies very clear for now. The Gunner's Hood is really a ton of work. The interior frame is done except for a little cleanup after the exterior is painted...
12 December, 20:28
Mr DBe worth it in the end ... Looking good, thanks for scotch tape tip .
Good luck with everything 👍👍
2 12 December, 23:30
Erik LeijdensExcellent work so far! The figures are very well done, the clear parts are really clear!
2 15 December, 10:01
Desert MarlinI think I'll let the paint dry for a while and work on the Pak 18 cannons…
16 December, 02:44
bughunterWise decision to let the paint dry. Patience at the right moments saves reworking later 😉
Looks good, do you used enamels?
1 16 December, 18:37
Desert MarlinI have saved my Model Master RLM74, 75, and 76 for just this time! I used Mr.Color Yellow for the stripe and bottom of the wing tips! The Testirs thinner is no good for these paints since it was sold to a different manufacturer and is now unable to properly thin the MM paints. Fortunately, the Squadron enamel thinner seems to be an excellent substitute! Base was Mr. Surfacer 1500 black and grey.
1 16 December, 18:43
Mr DThat Tamiya Saw looks like a bit of kit worth getting 🤔.
The Dog will be a nice touch .... Natzi's liked an angry dog 🐕.
Was Ju-87 used for a defensive role??
Enjoy following your builds 👍👍
1 16 December, 19:02
Desert MarlinThanks all for the comments! Mr. D, the Kannonenvögel was used as a Tank Buster on the Eastern Front.
16 December, 19:14
JohnLooking great! I enjoyed this build, but I cheated and used the montex canopy mask set. Totally worth it!!!
2 17 December, 15:26
bughunterThis German shepherd reminds me of my father's dog - yes, great paint job.
1 17 December, 17:30
Desert MarlinThanks guys! If anyone knows the story of what the dog's name is, I would really appreciate knowing that! Cheers!
17 December, 19:02
Desert MarlinUgh... I think I bought this kit in 2007. That means the decals are... 17 years old. Very brittle to say the least. I am using Mr. MarkSofter which is excellent in this case, but the spiral decal for the spinner is really trouble! We'll see what I can do with it...
19 December, 06:10
bughunterI hope the decals are still on the sheet! In this case you can protect them with this product. It creates a very thin "rubber" film on top so they do not fall into parts.
Liquid Decal Film (Microscale MI-12, No)
If you do not have it, Gunze Mr. Metal Primer can also be used, but I would use an airbrush to avoid that the brush tip dissolve decal parts. Background: I had a decal paper for self printing decals and in the manual this Gunze clear coat was recommended to protect the print before applying the decal to the model.
4 19 December, 08:03
JohnYou might be better off painting the spiral, but the trick is matching the off-white color Hasegawa insisted on printing their white color decals in back then.
1 19 December, 13:30
Desert MarlinThanks Frank and John! I have the film but did not use it. I have used the film in the past and it is a great option! I was trying to slowly work the spiral on and soften the film as I went. Still broke in a few places, but I think I can correct it a bit. John, as for painting it on, I should have got that route but I had constructed that part of the kit so many years ago. I would have had to break it down and start over. I actually tried to undo some of the construction so I could get the spinner and oil slinger off the prop but would have been too much damage. So, between touch-up and weathering I think I can overcome the damage. I agree, their off-white is a bit odd, but I think the Vallejo white, ivory and grey can make the difference! Thanks for the encouragement!
1 19 December, 15:43
JohnAh, having to "undo" construction would certainly complicate matters. I ended up painting mine for the exact same reason, cracked decals. Tamiya white with just a touch of XF-57 buff and XF-59 desert yellow was a good match for the decal color but the vallejo mix sounds workable too. I think it's asking a lot of decals, especially old Hasegawa ones (which, let's face it, aren't that great when new) to conform to that spinner. Too bad Hasegawa didn't see fit to include masks for that, but Eduard-level kit goodies were still some years in the future! Nice job on the Shepherd, by the way!
1 19 December, 16:25
Desert MarlinJohn, you are absolutely correct on all points! Thanks for commiserating!
19 December, 18:44
Desert MarlinI may. try the Tamiya mix and see how that does! I will probably try to beat down the decal with some Solvaset.
1 19 December, 18:45
Mr DThat's a difficult decal to do at the best of times 🤔,
At least you have a good pattern to paint in, lve had this happen on new HB and Tamiya decals.
You will have it tidied up soon.
Build is looking good 👍👍
1 19 December, 21:04
Desert MarlinWeathering has begun. Thanks Jennifer. I failed to be too patient and switched to the Vallejo paints for the spinner...

Denis DogadovThere could be no rivets on the wing of the P-51, the wing was carefully plastered and painted.
There were also very few lines, much less than yours.
You need to study the design of this aircraft better.

17 December, 13:14
Chris T. AnThanks for your tip, but don't worry, the rivets have already been sanded over and will hardly be recognizable later. I know the rivets are there (see picture no. 11), so I added them. I like textured surfaces and weathering on the model better than factory-fresh machines, even if it's not always historically accurate.
17 December, 15:29
Denis DogadovSome can make rivets on the surface covered with canvas, you are probably one of them. Figure 11 says nothing, I showed the photos.
17 December, 15:41
Chris T. AnWhy do you have to be insulting right away? Please remain objective. Let everyone build the way they want. I don't like the crap you build either.
2 17 December, 15:56
Denis DogadovI agree, I got a little overreacted.
But there were definitely no rivets there.
17 December, 17:55
MarcelCreative solution with the light in the wing, hope it works out. And I agree with your choice to choose for what works for your model instead of pure historical accuracy.
1 17 December, 18:27
Denis DogadovA museum exhibit, heavily renovated, it doesn't count
And you have a specific prototype declared ,P-51B Mustang 336 FS, 4 FG Missouri Mauler (September 1944).
If it were some kind of collective image of the P-51. it would be more difficult for me to argue.
17 December, 19:31
NicolasIt's actually quite simple. You are both right. The rivets are there, otherwise the wing would not hold together. However, they are not visible on new airplanes because, with the exception of the access flaps, about 60% of the front of the wing has been filled and painted. On older airplanes, slight sink marks and cracks can occur around the rivets and at sheet metal joints due to the greater material thickness of the filler as a result of shrinkage of the filler during residual hardening (keyword ghostseams). These filler accumulations also tend to flake off during flight maneuvers with high G-forces as the material underneath works. For an older Mustang, the most realistic look would probably be a fillerized appearance with partially Panel lines and rivets. But I am of the opinion that everyone should build their model the way they like it. After all, it's a hobby.
1 18 December, 19:12
Denis DogadovNot everything is so simple, the P-51 did not fly with peeling wings. There is an instruction for technicians to immediately restore the wing cover if it is broken.
[img1]
18 December, 20:34
Chris T. AnWelcome on board everybody. So I think we should stop "counting rivets" now. 😉 I learned something about the P51, so there is something good about it.
And I just noticed that Revell apparently put the wrong canopy into the box of my kit. I have the birdcage canopy but this Missouri Mauler version did not have that kind of canopy. Really strange. So this airplane will no longer be historically accurate anyway.
2 19 December, 16:51
Mark SherwoodYou have produced a good build so far Chris. Couple of adages, if it looks like a duck, quack's like a duck. . . . It's a duck! My hobby, my build if you're unhappy with that follow some other build. 👍🥸🤘🥸🤟
1 20 December, 19:42
Chris T. AnThanks Mark. Even if it is not historically accurate you can still make a nice airplane out of it. At least I'll try.
The decals are very thin, which is easy to work with. However, the black and white transitions showed through on the emblem. I had to do some careful touching up with magnifying glasses and a brush.

Mr DNice little project 👍 think l recognise this kit is it the 1:144 ??
I did the mini hobby models version.
Good luck with it 😃
29 November, 17:31
Marcin DudekI would like to ask for Your advice, mates. I have problem with two parts. First is the exhaust - this part was to big to fit in the fuselage. I left it for later hoping I will think a way to deal with it. Maybe I will manager to cut the ending (just the part with grooves) so it will fit the fuselage this way. Second is the clear part. It is absolutely smooth and as if the planes canopy was composed of one part. I am afraid my skills are not enough to draw the lines myself and I am thinking about leaving it as it is, not painted.
1 11 December, 15:27
Spanjaardwith a bit of making tape, you can have a couple of lines. in that scale, they do not need to be anything thicker 😉
you can do it before you glue the canopy
1 11 December, 15:46
Robert PodkońskiMarcin. If you will position masking tape carefully you can paint very thin lines (primer first, then paint) - like here:
Homebuilt | Album by podkon (1:72)
1 11 December, 17:45
Mr DHi Marcin 👋 yes the canopy is just one clear piece due to the scale, l didn't bother painting one on my model.
Yes your right about the exhaust..... My one didn't fit in the opening at the end.
I glued it just to the back and didn't push it inside fuselage.... I think that is how it should be.
I will take a photo of my one now and add it to my IAR-80 album for you to look at.
Good luck 👍👍
11 December, 19:46
Spanjaardanother solution is a decal of the right color cut on stripes and placed in the right place. if you do not have one of the right color, paint a spare one (very thin), cut it in stripes and then place it
2 11 December, 21:46
Mr DThe exhaust on the Starfighter is quite long out the back to get away from tail.
The glue will soften it into place a little and if you have any gaping you can fill it with filler, paint, or carefully with super glue.
Gently Gently with the fragile canopy.
Looking good you doing a nice job.
😃👍
12 December, 10:03
Marcin DudekThanks for the advice Mr D. Today I tried Roberts method with the canopy. It went quite good, considering my skills 😅
2 12 December, 19:26
Mr DGood for you Marcin 👍 it looks good.
Remember that poli glue can fog up canopy glass, lf you fix with poli best hold your canopy with a bit of blue-tak and just add a few drops with a pin, alot of people use PVA as it's bit safer.
👍👍
12 December, 19:33
Marcin DudekPhase one of remodeling the exhaust - I drilled a hole to make it look more realistic
14 December, 18:21
Mr DThat's better job, l painted a black circle, but this will look much better.
This Starfighter was one of my early builds.
Good luck on next steps 👍👍
14 December, 19:00
Marcin DudekThanks Mr D. I manager to cut the exhaust with a mini grinder. The result is not perfect but once painted it looks ok.
15 December, 13:57
Mr DShould be a better job, l looked at some photos of Starfighter and the exhaust is shorter and inward like you cut it.
Are you going to paint a bit of black on the inlet cone's ??
For detail work l found that "Nail liner brushes" are the best, they are for beauty parlours to paint pictures on women's nails, but incredibly fine for detail model work.
I get the 6mm ones. AliExpress, eBay ect.
Enjoyed watching the build 👍👍
16 December, 19:15

Those brushes look 👍 good nice fine tip... Post a link if you get chance.

Mark SherwoodHi Kesa. I like it's suggested compactness over the Panzer IV, it looks like a Tank as does the Tiger. They spring to mind when anyone talks/say's describe a Tank.
27 November, 05:29
Kesa TihoI suppose if you ask any normal person what a tank looks like they'd describe a panzer III or Tiger, yet again. Different models, time periods and ares where the tank are used alter the appearance. Like could be seen with T-34-85s, some were like they were intended while others had components missing and non functional scopes. And Ukrainian Abrams, instead of the usual M at the end of the serial number its UKR, and the armour is different, not using their classified armour. Back to the topic, when i look at my old drawings of tanks they do look like Tigers, boxy and big so i guess your right.
27 November, 07:29
Mark SherwoodEvening Kesa. Different eras, different battlefields, terrain etc. Gives people their favourite MBT. But when someone says Tank the PzIII and the Tiger come to mind for me (Or the boiler in the Loft) then the Imperial March from Star Wars. 🤟🥸🤘🤣

Erik LeijdensThe fit of the parts is pretty good on this kit but the halves with the engines do need some work. Also, the parts with the exhausts are moulded in 2 halves but therefore shows a seam which needs to go. This is because of the moulding process I think to create the tiny exhausts.

Erik LeijdensDryfitted the wings which fit very good. They only need some support to prevent them from sagging.

Mr DWill be keeping eye out for updates.
The messy glue tubes, the Beriev lm building came with a little pot of glue that you Peirce with pin on one side 🤣
Long dried up.... I did use it back when l was a kid....lots of sticky thumb prints.
Nice project 👍

Villiers de VosGentlemen, thank you all for your kind remarks. I have been chipping away slowly. The part count of the kit is not that high, but the version I chose as well as the paint scheme results in a lot of challenges to my skill level which I thoroughly enjoy.

Mr DHi Villiers 👋

Nice kit... who is the manufacturer??
6 November, 21:14
Mr D👍 Thanks Villiers ...l like to look different manufacturers up n see there range 👍
7 November, 13:53
Mr DHeading towards being a nice model this one, like the engine and interior work.
Good little kit 👌👍
8 November, 16:59
Villiers de VosThank you Mr. D for your comments. The kit certainly shows its age. I remain a sucker for the larger scale classic cars.
12 November, 03:02
MS KOh, This manufacturer I've never heard before.
I don't think it will be easy. 👍

Villiers de VosI have experienced several paint disasters. Enamel paint kept on forming scales. In the end I had to strip the paint back several times to the primer level. Progress should be quicker from here on.

Made a start, the push together joins are very prominent so will address those.
I use super glue as it is probably ABS ...

Jennifer FranklinThis is a smart way to practice techniques. Good luck with the pre-shading and exhaust effects.

Snake PlisskenExcellent photo series with a clean cutting mat (uncluttered background) and crisp photos (everyone take note 😉 ). A superb kit reference for what comes in the box. Many thanks for posting.

Is it all based out with multiple fujimi garage kits?

DaveReally nice finish on that Buick. Just curious if you used a clear coat or Future for the final coat.
19 December, 16:22
Mike HulkaThanks Dave, im using Gunze Top Coat and for polishing Tamiya compounds (red and blue)
19 December, 17:05
DaveThat's a nice finish. The only reason I was asking, is your finish has the same appearance as using an old modelling trick of Future (floor wax).

Живко ДжаковGuys, thanks for your interest. The model is great and I hope it doesn't take too long to build.
6 April, 13:12
Duster_dA cool model, it's very interesting to watch the build! I have an old Stirling from Airfix in my stash. Someday I will decide to build it 🙂
6 April, 13:45
Живко ДжаковI hope he becomes a good model. I'm starting to think about his stash. B-29 is ready. C-130 Hercules, He 177 and Catalina are waiting for me. Everyone wants a lot of space.
7 April, 06:46
Живко ДжаковAnd Edward are not without fault. Sterling's masks are missing shark fin pieces.
7 April, 13:21
Живко ДжаковOops. It's my fault. I'm working with the wrong kit. I will order new ones. The project will be put on hold for some time. Guys, I'll signal as I continue.
7 April, 13:57
Живко ДжаковApart from the scale and the plane, it is different. If I make one I'll need a hangar for him and me when we get evicted from home.

boywellumHi thanks for this, great work.I have one myself (I have almost every RAF aircraft from WW2), I only started in September though, so the PE on this I find confusing in some circumstances. When I build mine would you mind if I asked you a couple of questions? Cheers R

Живко ДжаковAfter several incidents, the doctors again wanted me to stay at home. Accordingly, in addition to my slot car work, I started working on some models. This Stirling is one of them. The progress is small, but it brings a lot of pleasure.
