Great job on his old clssic!

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

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

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

Rudy Poseika Автор
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 😉

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 👍

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

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 Автор
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 Автор
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 Автор
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 Автор
#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 Автор
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 Автор
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 Автор
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 Автор
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 Автор
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 Автор
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 Автор
@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!!!

Martin Weinpold
You are brave!

DerMattes Автор
Thank you, I guess? 🙂

Nose sanded and first primer test. Fitted the air intakes and did some riveting after rescribing all panel lines. Will check some panels for correct lines and a rough idea where to put rivets.
Thanks for the interest / Danke für das Interesse 🙂

More filling and sanding, we will see after priming if the fuselage is smooth now.

Nicolas
I'll take s eat. Nice start.

DerMattes Автор
Thank you Laurent and Nicolas for your interest and Laurent for the offer! 🙂
As always I am thinking about the colors. I will use Vallejo Model Air and tend to select 71.327 for the lighter shade and 71.143 for the darker. Both seem a little bit too light, but with thin coats over black primer and a dark brown oil wash, this should work i think.
The weapon loadout will be the one mentionen on dstorm.eu hope that makes sense?

Laurent VILLANUEVA HELLER ForEver
yes to DAGUET 1991 = good war armament is MAGIC II , MATRA 530 and ventral reservoir ! for air defens superiority ! on the 2000 under the engine fuselage at the rear, a central decoy box was fitted as a matter of urgency in place of the parachute housing and on both sides!

DerMattes Автор
I will check for the decoy boxes, thanks!

CaptGPF
Taking a seat! BTW, where do you get your 3D images for printing?

DerMattes Автор
The files for 3d printing are from cults3d, the engine is linked in the project. The company sells this as STL files on cults or from their own shop as printed resin parts. The missiles are from cults as well, they were free files but the modeler seems to set a price to his models after some time. To be fair, a very reasonable price for the quality! Link: cults3d.com/en/users/Sufa312/3d-models

CaptGPF
Thank you for the link!

Guy Rump
Looking good, following. 👍

DerMattes Автор
Thanks for your interest mates. Got the base colors down, next is detail painting and the nozzle.

Cristian A
Painting looking good, looking forward to the details and wash👍

Desert Marlin
I like it! The paint scheme looks awesome!!!

DerMattes Автор
I am currently doing the decals. Nearly every little bit is wrongly numbered, I am using a picture of Italeri's promo build from the Spielzeugmesse as reference because most is not clear on actual photos of the Mirage. Stay away from this kit if fun is something you want when building a model.

DerMattes Автор
Oil washed the underside, trying longer drying time this time. Hope the wash drys and stays in the panel lines.

DerMattes Автор
Antennas added, small parts painted and did some additional weathering at the exhaust and overall with the airbrush. I faded the colors a little in some spots and tried to add weathering like in some pictures of this particular aircraft.

Cristian A
Very close to the finish line! Looking great!

DerMattes Автор
Finally reached the finish line 🙂 I had my ups and downs with this build, the kit itself is kind of weird. The big underside delta wing piece has nice, finely recessed details. Then there is the fuselage underside with fixed gear bay doors for the front gear. The upper side is more rough, the radar cone is famously wrong for a production aircraft because of the panel lines from the prototype. Where the wings meet the fuselage the fit is not good, with huge gaps on both sides. Just filling them leaves a flat area, so I filled and sanded it multiple times. The riveting I tried is barely visible at all, which is a good thing as I clearly need more practice with this. The pictures from the project banner where my references for the weathering and the panels where the unique desert camo paint is missing. I really like the 3d printed exhaust! The fit was simply perfect, including inside the fuselage. The designers surely knew what they were doing, as this addon was one of or the best fitting part on this kit 👍 😉
There are decals provided for the tank and the missiles, but only the placement of the tank and missiles is mentioned in the instructions, the decals for them not at all.
Overall, a challenging kit for me. Thank you all for the likes and the interest! 🙂

Desert Marlin
Bravo Zulu!!!
