I'd love to see some general aviation aircraft in 1/32 scale.

Donald Dickson II
Its been done, but not in 1/48...C-141B. Also a good CH-3 in 1/48.

As for never been done at all, I cant think of any.

Erik
I have a resin-stalwart on the workbench. A horror kit. It really is time for a modern kit.

I wish a Puma-Helicopter in 48. 😉

Martin Oostrom
In 1:24: Volvo 88

Give me a sheet of A4 and I'll draw up a short list.

Looks promising, following 🙂 👍

Gary Kitchen
Taking a seat too. 👍

Ekki
I am in too.

Kendrick Brown
Excited to see what you can do with this thing. I love the CH-37 for how unique and ugly they are. Wish someone makes this in 1/48.

Thomas Kolb
Absolutely lovely! It looks almost like a sci-fi vehicle, very cool! The metal mesh was a great idea, where did you get it?

Watching!

I hope you like it. I update this when I have something to show.

tuned in

Nice paintwork. Colors look good, I wouldn't worry that's an issue. Can always change the tone with a wash anyway. 👍

TV_scalemodels
Thanks! Yes that is very true. I think after the weathering I don't see the original colours too much..

James C
Nice progress 👍

Michael Kohl
Beautiful

Daniel
A true legend! awesome painting, the chipping is just perfectly made for this particular jet, (not an easy task, theres a thin line between realistic used look and repainting the whole thing...)

Shar Dipree
Extremly nice and awesome details (overpainted insignia for example). Excelent. I'm curious how the phantom will look like in the end.
Is there a photo that you use as a reference?

TV_scalemodels
Thanks for the comments!

Weathering was interesting, it is always difficult to balance realistic and nice looking. I'm glad you like it!

I used pics on the Internet and excellent fundecals instruction
for reference. And my books of course too.

Some sites:

Thanks for the links.
I think the weathering has become great. The aircrafts were partly very weathered during the war.

James C
Stunning looking F-4! 👍

I keep saying to myself that THIS will be the year that I pull my finger out and build one; but it never eventuates. This build has definitely renewed my desire to finally do it. 😉

Spanjaard
that is a great Phantom. excellent.

Bruce Huxtable
Wall to wall stencils, but your scratch building skills and eye for the painting and weathering are awesome. Wow!

TV_scalemodels
Thanks for your feedback! Here is a build video if you are interested:

Weathering, chipping, dirt, grime and heat staining all done to perfection!

CaptGPF
Phenomenal build! The step by step video is instructional and very well made. Only word I can use is inspirational!

Thomas Kolb
This looks like a fun project! I will definitely take a seat!

Mr D
Thanks, Appreciate the interest, lm reality new to the hobby about 14 months, finding my way with techniques.
Weathering n panel lines need more learning.
The IAR-80 was decent price from HB and liked the paint scheme...bit different
👍👍

J35J
I'm in!

Mr D
Thanks J35.
Nice to have the interest, HB instructions bit weak!
They said to paint interior charcoal black like on the FW-190.
But l checked n the Romanian lAR interior was grey/blue.
Engine building next 6 parts deal.
Cheers 😃👍

Miguel Vaquero
Looking good mate. Following!!

Mr D
Good to have you along Miguel, engine n wings next,
A small amount of the wing is seen through bottom of cockpit, the HB instructions didn't mention painting it first!!
But the fit of the model be ok so far.
👍👍

Spanjaard
basically, it is your choice (and your money) 🙂
I would say check what it is used and where. if you only need to use one color for a small detail, maybe you can make it mixing the ones you have. complete list is usually not needed since it may include different paint schemes, and if you use one, you do not use the colors of the others

Greg Baker
Seems like a double post... my comments from the previous one are:

First off, welcome to Scalemates! Second... you probably don't need every paint on the list. The first thing to keep in mind is that all the choices are up to you, so as long as you're happy with the result (or at least learn something), then it's a success. As for the paint list, it will include every single colour you need to build it OOB (out of the box) exactly as they tell you. However what you should do is go through the instructions carefully and figure out how many parts actually get painted with that colour - and if you'll be able to see them once the model is assembled. The small green dot on the control panel might not be worth buying a whole bottle of paint for... unless you plan to do a lot more control panels with green dots on them. I'd start with a few basic colours for the fuselage, and then maybe some greens or greys for the interior bits. See how that goes.

Spanjaard
of course, the ones you buy today, maybe useful in the future. anyway, it is your choice 🙂

Spanjaard
strange, question and Greg's answer seem to be duplicated

Greg Baker
I suspect the question got posted twice. I copied and pasted my initial answer over to this thread... attaching my comments to your genius. 🙂

Spanjaard
genius? not me certainly 🙂

Thank you very much for the information. I plan to continue making plastic models as a hobby from now on. I even bought a lot of equipment. Your site is very useful and unique to me. I plan to buy sparmax arism viz and sparmax max 4 airbrush, do you recommend it? (second hand) Another alternative is sparmax tc 620x (this is also second hand) which one do you recommend?
