Живко ДжаковGuys, thanks for your interest. The model is great and I hope it doesn't take too long to build.
6 April, 13:12
Duster_dA cool model, it's very interesting to watch the build! I have an old Stirling from Airfix in my stash. Someday I will decide to build it 🙂
6 April, 13:45
Живко ДжаковI hope he becomes a good model. I'm starting to think about his stash. B-29 is ready. C-130 Hercules, He 177 and Catalina are waiting for me. Everyone wants a lot of space.
7 April, 06:46
Живко ДжаковAnd Edward are not without fault. Sterling's masks are missing shark fin pieces.
7 April, 13:21
Живко ДжаковOops. It's my fault. I'm working with the wrong kit. I will order new ones. The project will be put on hold for some time. Guys, I'll signal as I continue.
7 April, 13:57
Живко ДжаковApart from the scale and the plane, it is different. If I make one I'll need a hangar for him and me when we get evicted from home.

boywellumHi thanks for this, great work.I have one myself (I have almost every RAF aircraft from WW2), I only started in September though, so the PE on this I find confusing in some circumstances. When I build mine would you mind if I asked you a couple of questions? Cheers R
29 June, 19:35
Живко ДжаковAfter several incidents, the doctors again wanted me to stay at home. Accordingly, in addition to my slot car work, I started working on some models. This Stirling is one of them. The progress is small, but it brings a lot of pleasure.

Erik LeijdensStarted a big kit! This one is laying around in the stash for a while now. Looks like a nice kit, will be oob. Kept the cockpit simple as it will hardly be visible.

DaveDetails in cockpit look good and I see that your supervisor is keeping an eye it.

Landlubber MikeNice start so far! I have the kit in the stash and was looking at it the other day thinking I might start it in the new year.
Love your project manager too! He looks very serious!

MariusErik, good to see in the first picture you have expert advice for this project.
1 14 December, 17:12
Jan PetersNot my cup of tea, but very interesting to see how you tackle this huge plane.
And being a cat lover myself, its always fun to see Kitty inspect your proceedings 🐈⬛
1 14 December, 18:18
Erik LeijdensThe fit of the parts is pretty good on this kit but the halves with the engines do need some work. Also, the parts with the exhausts are moulded in 2 halves but therefore shows a seam which needs to go. This is because of the moulding process I think to create the tiny exhausts.
1 17 December, 09:57
Erik LeijdensDryfitted the wings which fit very good. They only need some support to prevent them from sagging.

Mr DNice little project 👍 think l recognise this kit is it the 1:144 ??
I did the mini hobby models version.
Good luck with it 😃
29 November, 17:31
Marcin DudekI would like to ask for Your advice, mates. I have problem with two parts. First is the exhaust - this part was to big to fit in the fuselage. I left it for later hoping I will think a way to deal with it. Maybe I will manager to cut the ending (just the part with grooves) so it will fit the fuselage this way. Second is the clear part. It is absolutely smooth and as if the planes canopy was composed of one part. I am afraid my skills are not enough to draw the lines myself and I am thinking about leaving it as it is, not painted.
1 11 December, 15:27
Spanjaardwith a bit of making tape, you can have a couple of lines. in that scale, they do not need to be anything thicker 😉
you can do it before you glue the canopy
1 11 December, 15:46
Robert PodkońskiMarcin. If you will position masking tape carefully you can paint very thin lines (primer first, then paint) - like here:
Homebuilt | Album by podkon (1:72)
1 11 December, 17:45
Mr DHi Marcin 👋 yes the canopy is just one clear piece due to the scale, l didn't bother painting one on my model.
Yes your right about the exhaust..... My one didn't fit in the opening at the end.
I glued it just to the back and didn't push it inside fuselage.... I think that is how it should be.
I will take a photo of my one now and add it to my IAR-80 album for you to look at.
Good luck 👍👍
11 December, 19:46
Spanjaardanother solution is a decal of the right color cut on stripes and placed in the right place. if you do not have one of the right color, paint a spare one (very thin), cut it in stripes and then place it
2 11 December, 21:46
Mr DThe exhaust on the Starfighter is quite long out the back to get away from tail.
The glue will soften it into place a little and if you have any gaping you can fill it with filler, paint, or carefully with super glue.
Gently Gently with the fragile canopy.
Looking good you doing a nice job.
😃👍
12 December, 10:03
Marcin DudekThanks for the advice Mr D. Today I tried Roberts method with the canopy. It went quite good, considering my skills 😅
2 12 December, 19:26
Mr DGood for you Marcin 👍 it looks good.
Remember that poli glue can fog up canopy glass, lf you fix with poli best hold your canopy with a bit of blue-tak and just add a few drops with a pin, alot of people use PVA as it's bit safer.
👍👍
12 December, 19:33
Marcin DudekPhase one of remodeling the exhaust - I drilled a hole to make it look more realistic
14 December, 18:21
Mr DThat's better job, l painted a black circle, but this will look much better.
This Starfighter was one of my early builds.
Good luck on next steps 👍👍
14 December, 19:00
Marcin DudekThanks Mr D. I manager to cut the exhaust with a mini grinder. The result is not perfect but once painted it looks ok.
15 December, 13:57
Mr DShould be a better job, l looked at some photos of Starfighter and the exhaust is shorter and inward like you cut it.
Are you going to paint a bit of black on the inlet cone's ??
For detail work l found that "Nail liner brushes" are the best, they are for beauty parlours to paint pictures on women's nails, but incredibly fine for detail model work.
I get the 6mm ones. AliExpress, eBay ect.
Enjoyed watching the build 👍👍
16 December, 19:15
Mr DLooks good 👍, l like the antenna you made for the nose,
Those brushes look 👍 good nice fine tip... Post a link if you get chance.
👍
18 December, 19:31
Marcin Dudekshare.temu.com/gyaYf6EDcMA
They look a little bit different in real, the "0" brushes are very similar, most probably they have the same size. They seem ok so far.

Mr DNice project 👍👍
Good luck with it, what is the part count on this one ?
Like that they gave some track included 👍
16 December, 17:35
Jennifer FranklinWelcome, Villiers de Vos, Michael, Nicolas, and Mr D! The part count is slightly over 80. Compared to the Memphis Belle, a level 5 model, this is a level 3. I plan to focus on technique with this one, which will be the real challenge after the B-17.
16 December, 17:47
Martin OostromBe careful with all the thin parts around the wheels. They are fragile and need to be installed in the right sequence. It is easy to take a wrong turn there.
2 16 December, 18:16
Jennifer FranklinYeah, I saw a Big Boy in a museum while working in Tooele, Utah. Remarkable engine, never forgot it.
18 December, 03:28
Michael KohlOh Ben, linking this picture is mean. Where shall get Jennifer all those handwheels from?! 😜
1 19 December, 09:05
Jennifer FranklinBen, that is both remarkable and daunting. Michael, you are right; I will never create all those handwheels.
19 December, 13:42
Ben MI like how the crew had no labels to guide them; they just had to know what each hand wheel did.
1 19 December, 14:44
Jennifer FranklinDave, I probably shouldn't have put the arc support under the covered bridge, but there is one like it in Quebec, and the Waterloo bridge in England is somewhat similar. Let's call it artistic liberty.
21 December, 03:27
Jennifer FranklinIt's a truss arch bridge, which is rare but has been built in the past.

Sergio OrdonezNot very difficulty, Freak. Just using small pewter plate strips. Not very cheap, but at least, 25 € Will last for the rest of the century. I use them also for any strap for hand weapons, back pack belts, prses, etc. You can find them in any shop specialized in game miniatures.(Warhammer and such).
1 7 December, 21:16
Sergio OrdonezWell, now we are in the frightening moent of heavy sanding fuselage parts that are not fixing properly...
2 13 December, 17:05
Sergio OrdonezHi, Mr D: well, not as good as I expected. The model is really bad. The plastic is heavy affected by glue and fixing is terrible. Nevertheless, I hope having It done before Christmas.

19 March 2021, 21:10
Chris T. AnThank you. And yes, the decal quality is indeed very good. I used the 2 walkway decals on the wings because of the printed "walkway" letters. Will be fun to go on with all the other decals in the next step.

25 March 2021, 13:44
Spanjaardwhat a beautiful result. wonderful weathering, just spot on in my opinion (reminds me that i need to add a bit of grime to mine...). it can pass as 1/48
25 March 2021, 13:58
Chris T. AnThank you all. I'm happy that you like it. By the way, I noticed 2 mistakes, now that I have made all the final pictures:
1. I forgot to remove 2 small mask triangles at the canopy.
2. I forgot to make the tires a bit flat.
I have corrected that already but I don't feel like doing new photos.😉
26 March 2021, 09:11
NeulingSuper clean and detailed model! 👍 And I overlooked the mask triangles ............

13 April 2021, 15:20
Chris T. AnThanks for all your positiv words. So I made one new picture with both mistakes corrected. Must be enough. 😉
I tried the mirroring presentation for the first time and it is easy to do: just put the object on a simple glass screen from a picture frame and choose a flat angle when taking the photos.

Guy RumpInvasion stripes are now on the wings. Next is to start painting the invasion stripes on the fuselage. 🙂

1 16 December, 12:35
Eddy MarshallHey Treehugger... Yeah its pretty nifty... Dremel and a preloved scalpel blade is a cheap life hack in place of a lathe... Just keep it on the lowest speed tho and use the blade as a scraper to gently rempve the seam...Don't use sandpaper though... You'll melt the wheel to your fingers otherwise... lol... Oh and the larger the diameter the more likely you'll lose an eye...! Lol
16 December, 12:51
TreehuggerI have some lesser electrical drills I can try use to lower the speed and use a metal file, should be safer I think than trying to mix that with some xacto blade.
