That's a cool idea using a car sponge to hold the model. I think I will have to get one.

Regarding the Gnat, use white or pink (really!) as a base coat for yellow and it covers in fewer coats. Tamiya's yellow is probably better than most but it's still a difficult color to work with.

Mr D
Great 👍 thanks for letting me know, l been a bit confused when I've seen people spraying pink 🤔?? Then paint over. Now it makes sense will try it next time. Cheers 😀

What a nice RC-bird 👍 But it is an Albatros 😉

I've seen a few Spitfire 'pictures' and this is definitely the best of the bunch.
It would be good to know what the medal is.

Cool!

Simon Tibbitts
Thank you both for the very kind words!

Gorby, the medal and badges are replicas of:

The Distinguished Flying Cross (DFC) that was issued by the RAF to Squadron Leader, Jan Zumbach for his heroics, along with many other pilots from 303, Polish Squadron during the Battle of Britain.

That's stunning work Simon and very well presented. Love it. Top Job Sir.

Michael Kohl
With every other work you present here I am more and more impressed by your skills - but most of all your creativity to present well known subjects in an original way. Hats off.

Robert Podkoński
Fabulous!

PS: for those interested in Jan Zumbach, check out Wikipedia. Quite an interesting cv.

LOL, poor people who never build stuff like this 😉

I once reconfigured a Porsche 917 into a starfighter. No idea why.

Kesa Tiho
How is that even possible

gorby
That's a great start at converting models. I've always thought it's important to exercise your imagination frequently. 🙂

Marcin Dudek
I don't know either what it is but I'm loging it!

Kesa Tiho
Gorby i didnt convert anything, just stuck some left over parts and a broken sherman together lol. But yeah i have been exercising my imagination. Even came up with a name for the contraption. Its called the ✨✨✨ "MX4A1" ✨✨✨. A now retired and discontinued bunker buster kamikaze sherman M4A1 with the capability to fire two unguided missiles

Kesa Tiho
No clue what "loging" means but thanks, marcin

Martin Oostrom
I think it's a typo and it should read 'loving'
I'm also loging it!

Doubtingmango
😂😂😂 you can put me in the "Don't know what it is," and "Love it" columns too!

Eric Thornton
I love how a bomb is holding up a GBU 😂

Marcin Dudek
Sorry, that is right, it was supposed to be "loving" 😅.
