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

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

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

CaptGPFI 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 BakerOh, 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.
24 August, 14:55
gorbyThanks 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. 🙂

gorbyNew photos start from number 13
Build stage is now complete, just need to get the crayons out to colour it in. 😉
26 August, 13:37
gorby😄 😄 😄
Soon it'll be a silly, moderately angry grey truck. 🙂
Thanks for your comments mates. 👍

gorbyTeabag-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. 👍

gorbyI'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.

gorbyThanks very much Finn. 👍
Aaaaaannd…..tis done. Completed photos now posted. Hope you like my obscure Norwegian oddity. 🙂

gorbyThanks mates for your lovely comments. 🙂
Mick: The description on Photo number 13 explains the rivety skin.

gorbyThanks very much Kesa.
This was a very quick scratch-build for me, I think it was a bout three weeks. My Steaplechaser traction engine took about four months to build. Now that was a long wait. 😄

Mr DDone a good job, nice interesting diorama 👌.
Did you use the Arii model or did you get the AliExpress version..??
I've ordered a model for a Diorama idea l have for winter.
Great display piece n good story 👍👍👍
25 August, 22:15
ALBERTO ITURBURU HERREROSNo, Mister D, my Phantom is an AliExpress kit. I suppused it is an Arii model becouse the picture
26 August, 13:07
Mr DThanks 👍,
I know the kit, l have the mini-hobby version in stash, lve built 4 of those little 1:144 kits of AliExpress, there in my main album, alot of them are old Arri kits also can be found under ( cc lee ) in kit search.
Nice idea 💡😃👌👍

Shar DipreeFollowing!
I also own this kit. How good, precise and detailed do you think it is?
1 September, 11:08
Rolf Rolfi do not build a lot of 1 144 scale kits, but as far as the ageof it gos it seems pretty good, it is lacking some details,but theyy are ones you can live without, for example their is no backwall for the inside of the engine intakes
2 September, 04:12
TreehuggerIt is reboxing of Revell's kit, apparently.
I put some black cardboard inside the engine to make it look better, for both the big air intake and the small air intake at the front.
I added a custom clearpart to each side of the wing, a fun and simple fix. 🙂 I had a lot of fun building this (other Revell boxing) kit, nothing too complicated.
I thought the tailhook parts on the Revell kit were weird, iirc.
I wonder if there is any wiring for the Hawkeye plane, it might look even nicer if adding that detail, I don't remember it if has any.
Btw, I think I am reading now that the prototype first flew on 21. October 1960.

Alex KMe 3 - having the Rothmans box in my stash, I will follow with great interest,
15 August, 18:44
Thomas KolbVery interesting, but the S2 is this scale must be tiny! I will be watching for sure!
18 August, 07:54
Gordon SørensenGreat job so far, Peter!
Watching with great interest. I have the Rothmans and Canadian Reds kits in my stash, too. I built the kit many years ago, and remember that the decals aren't opaque enough.
I remember as a kid, seeing the Canadians Reds (and later known as the Rayban Reds)at a couple Airshows in my home province of Alberta.

Israeli P-51D D-191 (2302) [COMPLETED]
1:32
A really pretty Scheme!
Prosjekt: P-51D Israeli D-191 (2302)

Desert MarlinWell, the polycap that is supposed to link/sync the left and right elevators fell out during the process of joining the fuselage halves. So I had to saw out the little housing that was supposed to hold the polycap in place and set it manually. Looks like I have one "unforced error" so far...
26 April, 22:57
RandoThat Merlin is looking great. Looks like it came with the kit? Must be a lot easier than old resin, lol
27 April, 00:09
Desert MarlinIt's close to time to add the canopy and mask for paint. Lots of weathering yet to go. And the gun bays are looking a bit bland. Needs some additional paint and wiring.
1 May, 06:15
Desert MarlinTime to close up the cockpit and prep for paint. Going to be one of those traditional natural metal schemes with lots of wear and tear...
3 May, 05:06
RandoYep agreed Ky, my next P-51 will definitely be a Tamiya. How did detailing the gun bays go Marlin?
3 May, 14:37
Desert MarlinStill working on them. The fit has had only one issue that was even close to being worth mentioning. The right wing gun port on the leading edge did not fit perfectly. So I have had to do a little filling on the undersurface. The underwing scoop was almost an issue but seems to have settled into place. WARNING: one must fit the AILERONS BEFORE THE FLAPS. Otherwise the photo etched hinge does not get locked into place by the steel shaft from the outboard end of the flap. Missed this so it was unforced error #2...
3 May, 20:53
Desert MarlinOkay, after looking at some of the real aircraft, I am not sure there is any detail needed except to weather the bay and guns. I was expecting some electrical or other pipes/wiring, but alas, there does not appear to be any...
3 May, 21:41
Desert MarlinI'm back! So the masks provided are intended to be applied to the outside surface. However, it's really hard to mask the interior surface, so I cut the masks and applied them to the inside of the glass and then used Scotch tape for the outside. Leaving the interior a little "over masked, the black primer added to the outside with the flat black interior will create a nice effect overall.
2 June, 23:44
Desert MarlinBack at it! Prop is done, not yet weathered. Needs some scuffing along the leading edges.
1 July, 04:14
Desert MarlinI'm using Alclad and Metalizer. Sadly, my collection of Metalizer is shrinking. My choice for masking tape is 3M PostIt Notes. They work really well on the soft surface of Alclad Primers and Paints. Looking to seal it up next and start the process of marking/weathering.
4 July, 17:04
JohnI love the finish of Metalizer but hoo boy is it fragile. I hear you on supply. I'm all out of aluminum; stainless steel and jet exhaust are all that's left. 🙁
Your IDF Mustang is looking great, however!
4 July, 18:02
CaptGPFGoing to steal your post it notes trick for my next metallic project. Even i]with Xtreme Netal paints, I still have to wait a couple of days after I seal it with gloss - thanks Marlin!
