Yesterday the A.90 Orlyonok thundered in front, here are a couple of pictures of this event! 🙂 I added a few things to the kit, such as the prominent framework in front of the cockpit, which I built "on sight" with suitable wire. I haven't been able to find out what it's for - aerials, windscreen wipers/cleaning? - but I know that it contributes quite prominently to the appearance. I also added the various aerials on the fuselage and engine.
Thanks again for the hint about the 'ironed' water behind and under the engine, that was an important tip and came in time, thanks to Robert!

Robert Podkoński
Looks absolutely perfect, Roland! Chapeau bas! (I am happy that I have contributed a bit to this effect 😉 )

gorby
WOW! Fantastic display!

Bernhard Schrock
Top notch! Does the kit offer the hull with "stressed skin" or did you do this additionaly?

zhuo chen
Nope,the hull is flat, but i painted it with highlight and shadow to fake "stressed skin"

Zbynek Honzik
Masterpiece! 👍

scalemates

Rui S
Another Beauty 👍

Akaidada
老哥牛逼啊，模道会大师 NICE BRO

Stephan H.
Those awards are highly deserved. Impressive in every aspect 👍

Eddie Mann
The C8 now has boxart and correct title.

bughunter
I see he made some changes on the timeline of those kits, but I don't know what is right or wrong.
'87 Buick GNX (Monogram 85-4018, 1:24)
1995 Ford F-150 XLT (AMT/ERTL 6106, 1:25)
Ford Flareside Pickup (AMT 6951, 1:25)
The last one is a future release, but in stash of many mates?

Christian W
@Eddie ... thank you very much! I see this boxart the very first time. I still see the US box. Cool!

@bughunter ... Thank you for some more. How did you find out?
On the Buick I changed back the timeline (after a short research)
The 1995 Ford has also changes in the timeline but it seams okay.
On the "newest" Ford he changes a lot more and mixed everything up. The model still has it's old kit number but he updated the timeline, product data and a wrong boxart. Changed it back after I researched the kit on the internet and added the "new future release"
The only thing what's left is the review, Bob Hall added.

Christian W
Yesterday I wrote to Karl R. too and he apologized for the mistakes. I beged him to do some "homework" and thinking about, whether he can remember any other changes he did.

At least, Tim / scalemates should take a look on the database.

scalemates
on it

Alec K
Taking a seat for this, sure to be another beauty 👍

gorby
Thanks for taking an interest Alec. I should get this completed very soon. 👍

Robert Podkoński
Taking my seat too 🙂

gorby
Welcome Robert. 🙂

Neuling
May I join?

gorby
Of course Neuling. The more the merrier. 🙂

Philippe EVE
Impressionnant!😀😀

gorby
Thanks Philippe. I hope to get the next update done later today. 👍

Philippe EVE
👌👍!

gorby
New photos start at number 10.
This may give the impression that I've completed this in a couple of weeks...it's been nearer two months. Although the build is complete this update doesn't take us to the end of the build process.
Thanks for having a look. 🙂

John Hughes
Looking good! I made mine into a 6pdr portee many decades ago.

gorby
Thanks John. 🙂

Alec K
This looks really good Gorb 👍. I like your resin casts, they look superb.

gorby
Thanks Alec. I've tried cast parts in resin before and it wasn't very successful, this time I used silicon as the mould and that made all the difference. It's really easy with silicon. 🙂

Alec K
Hmm, I'll have to check silicone rubber out.

bughunter
Holy moly - what a nice little model! Great work so far 👍 Sorry, I was not in the mood to follow all the nice builds here, so I discovered it lately.
And thank you very much for mention me in the album info 😉

gorby
No problem mate, I have times I'm not in the mood to comment, quite often really as I'm a grumpy old git. 😄
I hope to get the final photos posted at the weekend, it's finally stopped raining here so busy doing other jobs at the moment. 🙂

Guy Rump
Looking great! 👍

gorby
Thanks Guy. 👍

gorby
Finally got around to taking some photos of this ridiculous beast, thanks you all for following the build. 🙂

Neuling
A nice one! Diorama wanted!

David Taylor
Nice one.

gorby
Thanks David. 👍
Thanks Neuling, although you're mistaking me for a proper modeller if you expect a dio. 😄 😄
I have to be in the right mood to to do a dio and at the moment I just feel like building models. 🙂

Neuling
Okay. Better luck next time! 🙂

Guy Rump
Great job! 👍

gorby
Thanks Guy. 🙂

Christian Bruer
Wow, very impressive and excellent work with a lot of scratchbuilt parts - love it 👍

gorby
Thanks very much Christian. Apparently the drivers didn't love them because they were sooooo slow. 🙂

Christian Bruer
But they looked so cool. Well more a slow rider than a low rider 😄

gorby
😄 😄 😄

CaptGPF
That scratch building at that scale is insane! ❤️❤️❤️

gorby
Thanks Capt, I like the challenge of building in 1/72. 👍

bughunter
A small piece of tarpaulin over the first bows would make it even more interesting.
No, it was a joke 🙂 Nice model of a vehicle with British style.

Michael Kohl
Thanks for CaptGPF for poiting out the scrstch building. I would have completely missed it and thus a very enjoyable build report.
One of those builds that would have looked really good without paint too.
I got stuck with my QLD over the humps as I did not manage to shape them identically. Your idea with the jig might breath in some life into that build again. Thanks for that too.

Spanjaard
simply stunning detail gorby, it is just gorgeous!! wow

gorby
Thanks very much matiepoos! 🙂
Buggy, I'll let you in on a secret just as long as you don't tell aaanyone else....I just got fed up with working out how I was going to put the tarp on the back and do the lacing onto the tie-downs. Therefore I decreed that it was nice day and they wanted to have the roof down. 😄 😄
Michael: I managed to confuse some others on a different forum about how much of this was scratch-built. Confusion seems to be my natural state and maybe I'm infecting everyone else. 😄
Spanjaard: I've even surprised myself with this one. Am I finally getting the hang of this modelling lark....then I see Frank's work and think how much further I have to go. 🙂

Thanks again everyone for you nice comments and to anyone who has clicked on 'Like'. 🙂

bughunter
Thank you very much for the trust you have placed in me, gorby! Of course I won't pass on this secret, but will take it to my grave.

Rui S
Great scratch work as always 👍

gorby
😄 😄 I knew I could rely on you Bugs. 😉

Thanks very much Rui, glad you like it. 🙂

István Szücs
Great work so far!

Bob Hall
Sweet ! 👍

István Szücs
I would drill out the exhaust tips.

Mal Rademaker
Istvan - That's a good idea. They are still on the spue and yet to be repainted in chrome with SMS Hyperchrome paint.
