Air cleaners were created by cutting and stacking Evergreen sheet styrene and then sanding and painting. I came across this idea from another builder of the same kit online from a post from a few years back.

Lights look very good 👍

Great comeback to modelling!

Thanks!

Beautiful MiG-31. The MiG31 really comes into its own just by showing it in flight with the right flight angle. Fantastics.

Mr D
Brilliant job Aleksandra nice shading work, great aircraft. 👍👍

Eric Thornton
Super! Looks great in flight 👍

ZHOU Kun
Nice and clean build!

Ben M
Exceptionally clean paintwork

Carlos Cisneros Forfatter
Thank you Ben. It sure took some effort to get that scheme painted onto this model. It's pretty large.

Mark K
Great job on this old classic!

Bob Torres Forfatter
Thank you very much Mark K!

Ben M
Very nice result! I like using craft paints too. Definitely more cost effective thank my beloved tamiya.

Rudy Poseika Forfatter
This will be a totally fictional experiment and historically inaccurate. An incomplete kit picked up from a boot sale.

Rudy Poseika Forfatter
This is no longer a Gloster Gladiator but a Gloster Rudiator...

Rudy Poseika Forfatter
Fiction is done. A modified Gloster Gladiator - landing gear and 3 blade prop. Republican tried to strafe the 109 but flew too slow and magically bounced and landed in between the branches of the tree...

Spanjaard
not sure if a tree would survive de crash of the gladiator, but it is a nice way to present it 😉

Rudy Poseika Forfatter
Putting the Gladiator in a tree saves space for more models..

Mark K
Looks great!

Bob Torres Forfatter
Thank you Mark K!

Very nice!

Another classic coming along nicely. Nice paint work on the engine.

The noted barcode 4009803070568 actually belongs to Land Rover Series III LWB Commercial (Revell 07056, 1:24) I'm not sure how it could have happened, but it appears that someone mixed up Land Rover's "LWB" (Long Wheel Base) with Ferrari's "SWB" (Short Wheel Base), and thus this model came into etherical existence, lol

nice

The minicraft B24D model sprues said it was a B24 J model. On a clear sprue was the front part of the B24 D. Instructions show that you need to remove the front parts of each side of the fuselage and attach the new parts. So far so good

Dave Flitton
Looking good so far!

Spanjaard
i got mine half done for ever....curious to see it finished on your bench 🙂

Cuajete
Good start 👍

ImaginationInScale Forfatter
There's plenty of room for mistakes. It's not an easy kit, it'll take some corrections and improvising.

Great project, I'm following. 👍

Nice build silverbird!🥰

Thank you very much.

Nice work!

Clifford Keesler Forfatter
Thank you very much gorby.

Nathan Dempsey
Looking great Clifford! Reminds me that I need to finish up that A model in the stash…

Robert Podkoński
Great job, Clifford! (it is a pity that there are no good kits of these early jets...)

Clifford Keesler Forfatter
Thank you very much Robert. I agree, there are a lot of early jets that I wish they would do good kits of.

Had hoped to build this great looking car OOB but I've some how mislaid the all be it limited decal sheet. I was going to have a go at doing my own decals or stencils but in look for info I found a sheet from DECALDOC.COM which includes all the extra advertising.

Alberto
Nice effort with the scratch building, it's a great improvement 👍

Sy Bar Forfatter
Thanks #Alberto.
While I know some go for total accuracy I thought with this scale I'd go for the appearance for reality which give impression of what is believed to be real

John Lambert
That's great work on this kit. I was gifted one last year and built it pretty much straight from the box. Your additions really take it to the next level.

Guy Rump
Looking good, following. 👍

Mark Sherwood
H'mmm. At the moment it's looking like a Machinen Krieger flyer. Masterful work on that old kit though. 👍🥸🤘

Sy Bar Forfatter
Cheers folks sorry for the tardiness of progress, things just keep getting in way.
Hope to get some colour on today finally

The shop.decaldoc.de/index.php decals are great design but are a bit of a challenge for me. I find them tricky to get into the grooves so much so I totally messed up the roof top gold and had to cobble together a cover from extra gold decals. I'm not sure how they will take the layering yet so will leave them over night. I like the use of a silver base layer to boost the decals colour and prevent paint colour leaking and affecting the top decal. Another point on decaldoc decals is the top film is the whole decal sheet so you have to cut each out and there is no placement image so a good subject reference is required.

That all said they look good so 🤞I don't mess them up any further

Ben M
Neat trick with the silver. Thank you for showing us.

Alberto
The Ford is looking nice, Sy! I didn't know about the silver either, it might be useful in the future 👍

Sy Bar Forfatter
#Ben M &#Alberto thanks for the comments as for the silver under the top decal they work great and are provided the correct size and shape by the decal producer Decaldoc of Germany. I'd never seen this approach before and I'll keep the unused silver decals for future use on my own work as they really give the white a punch - seethe wee Ford logo on the side strip (no silver under ) compared to the white discs!

Sy Bar Forfatter
Well the terror of removing mask struck and in internal glass is all messed up, it looks like moisture however time in sun and in airing cupboard does not help.. I'll continue to gloss and polish the bodywork then I'll take stock befor next steps. I may have a go at cutting out the glass to clean and replace testing a side window first, 🫣 yet more work on a fill in kit 🙄.
Lesson for today is do not fix glass with external masks on check the internal glass is clean, but there you go this is modelling not assembly. Least I've had practice replacing glass see my last model - RNLI Shannon Class Lifeboat | Album by Sybar (1:72)

gorby
Shame about the glazed parts as it looks very good otherwise. Maybe it was caused by fumes from the glue you used.

Ben M
Just call it the hotbox ford.

Sy Bar Forfatter
Cheers guys. I'll try and remove the drivers side window and see if can tell what caused it to fog and if I can restore it, then go from there

Thomas Bischoff
I'm in - nice show 👍

Sergej I
Looking good 👍!

Rich K.
Awesome work! Learning a lot from your posts and looking forward to the final result!

CaptGPF Forfatter
Thank you everyone!

@Thomas! Looking forward so seeing your Douglas build!
@Sergej- your F-35 is looking good! I heard that was a bad kit, but didn't realize it till your post!
@Lorraine - Your builds are always amazing! Using a laser cutter to create your latest Spitfire is brilliant!
@Rich - looking forward to seeing another dual build with you and your wife!

Dietmar Bogatzki
Fantastic start Capt. 👍

CaptGPF Forfatter
Thank you Dietmar! I plan to have the maintenance hatches open on this puppy, but not as impressive as your cut-out Millenium Falcon!

CaptGPF Forfatter
Sloooooooow progress, the main painting is done, now onto the munitions!

Paul Moore
Will be watching eagerly!

Rui S
Looking Great 👍

Villiers de Vos
Very nice progress.

Sergej I
In photo 24, are you following a reference with the yellow de-icing surface? I thought they were only yellow on slats...

CaptGPF Forfatter
Thank you Paul for the notes on the A-6!

@Rui - watching you Mariupol build with interest!

@Villers - love your cars, and watching your Maharaja edition with great interest!

Hi Sergei - I referenced it from the paint schemes in the instructions and checked the photos on the internet - and most of them have the yellow de-icing on the leading edge of the wing roots. After taking a closer look, seems like I missed the tail! 😀. Will work on that as I start the weathering. 😀

Adam Gudynowski
Great

Desert Marlin
Looking very awesome!!!

David Taylor
Looking good.

Neil
Agreed! 👍

Paul Moore
CaptGPF,
The build is looking great. As a former A-6 pilot, the only time you'd have both sets of flaparons up and speed brakes out would be on landing roll out. Just so you know. And at times I adjust my builds just because I want to show some various capabilities that interest me. So I get it. But I thought you might be interested in that just in case you had something else in mind.
Paul

CaptGPF Forfatter
@Adam - I love your Aston Martin - can't wait to see the final result!
@Desert Marlin - I loved t-your SUFA, Can't wait to see the Ra'am!
@Dave - would love to see your Falkland builds before I start working on my small armor kits
@Neil - don't know how you pulled off that Revell Tomcat, but you did it!
@Paul - I had originally planned to make this n in-flight Intruder, but the Hasegawa pilots wouldn't fit at all, so I opted to have everything flared out and open as if it was undergoing maintenance. Would these be realistic?

Desert Marlin
Thanks! The Ra'am is my Summer build!!!
