Great

nikfrost
Looking good. What options do you get for the trawlers name?

M0rce
Hi nikfrost.
Just 1, Ross Jackal.
But as I have deviated on the colour scheme, I may make one up. Hoping to find some rub on letters at the hobby shop.
Any name suggestions? (Question open to all of course 🙂 )
Have a good day.

Thanks M0rce. I live near the Humber Estuary which is connected to the North Sea, my suggestion would be Mud Shark haha.

CaptGPF
Love the realistic rust effects dotted about the ship!

M0rce
Hi everybody,
Thanks for your comments and ship name suggestions
I didn't manage to find any rub on letters at the hobbyshop, but got a few sheets of single.letter decals...
Not sure haw that's going to work. Got to.pravtice that a bit before I attempt on the model.
Keep ship name suggestions coming.

Made a start on the 1/32 Trumpeter F4F-4 Wildcat, I'm having my wings permanently folded, this is just all dry fitted so far, I'll add more detail later when the wing is added. No point cleaning up the inside part of the wing of ejection holes, as this will be hidden behind the wing. Think it looks ok so far.

Ian Doody
So today I've semi painted up the other sides wing root fold system. And started dry fitting the engine. Need to pick a scheme from the Techmod decals at some point, thinking of 1 or 4 so far.

Ian Doody
Ooh landing gear and engine support structure. Just needs a few touchups, thats it done for now, have to glue it all up straight away, doing it later would be a pain in the ass. Looks ok, I'm no expert on these things. Just for fun build in-between other stuff.

Ian Doody
I think, as an engine that'll do really, don't need anymore detail on it. Couldn't see it if it was there anyway. I'll paint the rear bank of cylinders, but that's probably it.

Ian Doody
That's all for today, making the most of what you get in the kit, only added bits of wire, no sense going mad with detailing parts you wont see. Prop tomorrow, finish the rear bank of Cylinders, and make a start on the cockpit. Looking nice so far, looks like an engine to me.

Ian Doody
Engine, exhaust manifold system and front bulkhead done. For what you can see, the kit parts are good enough. No point spending lots of money on a resin engine. Just some wire and a bit of paint.

Rui S
Looking special 👍 I'm in 😎

Guy Rump
Looking good and detailed build notes, following. 👍

Ian Doody
That's it for today, don't think I can handle seatbelts as well. So far so good, looks like a cockpit, when it's in the plane, you won't see anything. I tarted up the kit seat, as I couldn't stomach making the PE eduard one.

Rui S
hum, hum 😎 looking good 👍

Ian Doody
So I can do seat belts, but I hate doing seatbelts, not brilliant, but for all you'll see, it'll do me. My fear of PE is lessening, I'm getting a bit more confident each time, next the top straps. Then I can tackle the joining of the fuselage halves together, which is tricky on the 1/32 Trumpeter F4F-4 Wildcat, as a few parts need extra sanding to fit. Looks ok to me so far.

Ian Doody
Seatbelts done, that'll do. With my eyesight it'll look amazing from far away lol 😆 but for me, as a learning exercise, looks fine. I would wholeheartedly recommend HGW Laser seatbelts, they make it a lot easier.

Ian Doody
Tomorrow I'll make a start on the Empennage and getting everything to fit. I'm not using any of the PE hinges either. Then wings.

Great work and progress so far!👍🏻

Ian Doody
Back to the 1/32 Wildcat. Start of paint.

Ian Doody
Hmm, this is going to be interesting. As usual no idea what I'm doing, just riding by the seat of my pants. I'll try and block in all the colours then look into weathering. Who knows how this'll look.

Ian Doody
Well, it's blueish grey now, or greyish blue. Because I'm a cantankerous stubborn fool, I paint everything with brushes, Main colours blocked in, teeny tiny fiddly bits added, now I've just got to build some more layers up, start lightening and shading areas. It won't be brilliant, but it may look good on my shelf. Which is the main thing, due to lack of space, pretty much all the aircraft I'm going to build will have folded wings.

Mr D
Very nice, the wing internal colour looks spot on👌, l tried mixing this colour but struggled to get right tone.
Nice looking kit, what do you make of the Trumpeter kits??
Good luck with the next steps 👍👍

Ian Doody
Hello Mr D, so far I've only looked at early Trumpeter kits, panel lines are a bit too light for me, the early ones have gimmicks like working wing folds, and the PE hinges, but they build up quite well, and to me look like what it says on the box. I've got a lot more Trumpeter and Hobby Boss kits to build up in the future.

Robert Podkoński
Watching with interest!

Oleg Bogolei
Haha) Good luck with it! I'm stuck with the UAV version on a putting/sanding and he's waiting for the next inspiration to come)

Kim Harris
Oleg, what's the UAV version? I only found one model of that aircraft.

Oleg Bogolei
Da-42 Dominator (SOVA-M SVM-72009, 1:72)
This one

Kim Harris
Oleg, I understand now. I think that is basically the same kit with different boxart and instructions because mine has about 30% parts not used including the long nose on the Dominator.

Oleg Bogolei
Yes, i have cocpit in my kit)

Alex K
A general aviation aircraft, a demanding kit, and a project with personal/family connection... > I'll be glad to follow your efforts - good luck!

Thomas Kolb
This is going to be great! Watching with interest!

MP_MP
The UAV version hasn't got any clear windows included
Was a bit tricky to build at times but fun.
Will be nice to see a GA version build. Thinking of getting that one as well.

I also have one of this in my stash...
Following!

Mr D
Like it, it's a tiny one ... good fun 😀👍👍

Mr D
