Mr DGreat Sergio 👌 looking really good, they make a great display piece.
I may do a Yak-38 at some point.
Nice 👍👍

Sergio OrdonezThank you so much, mates; will be finished (probably) tonight.
Although somewhat unaccurate and having some fixing issues, this Airfix model is easy for assembly.

Edouard CarrHey Villiers/Christoph - hope you enjoy the build and thanks for watching the progress. Thinking about a custom paint job on the second spitfire with reference to the album power slave of which Aces High is from. Have some home print decal sheets that I have been meaning to use for years so might try testing them out. Revell have been kind enough to send a second Eddie Sprue so will have him seated in both planes when completed.

SeanUp the Irons! I gotta get started on my kit one of these days... Lookin' good so far!

Edouard CarrCheers guys will soon be trying to figure out how to make custom decals using paper I bought yonks ago! Any tips and tricks would be appreciated 😉

Alexander Grivonev"Chubaca's human brothers" Eddie won't be happy about this comparison 😄

MunkyslutI built this one a few years ago, no where near this standard tho! Excellent work on Eddie & the cockpit👌👌
Watchin!

Edouard CarrThanks Munky, I wouldn't be so hard on yourself you did a bang up job on yours! Glad your enjoying the build and I hope the final outcome comes off like I hope!

Edouard CarrHey Mr D
They have been easy to print and super quick to detach from the backing compared to official decals. Interesting to play with but a note to the wise, figure the decals you want and their placement as transparent decals will only be visible on light colours. See my body art for an example!
You then have the issue of how to get round this, which I have yet to decide the best method. Thinking maybe a top coat then a second run through the printer!
Both white and transparent paper are hard to adhere to bumps on the surface without creating bubbles, think this might be A: thickness B:my poor application (more likely 😅).
I need to find some junk kits to do some proper testing before I next use them on a project I think 🤔

Mr DThanks Edouard 👍👍
Good luck with it, sometimes double printing can off-set a little so make sure paper 100% straight.
😃👍
17 October, 09:04
Edouard CarrKnow that for a fact, worked as a printers assistant for a time and adding gold elements required a method of double printing, was a nightmare 🤣
17 October, 11:19
Edouard CarrCalling this one done. I had an idea for the blue plane but didn't come off as I wanted so putting to one side as a in-between pick up. TBH it's almost completed going to try a grey wash and might leave it at that. I might come back to the idea but on a smaller 48/72 scale.
You gotta try things now and again and I think I will come back to the home transfers as they worked better than expected.
Hope you enjoyed the build all and now... On to the next project!

Matti ThomaesHello Treehugger,
I bought them on the site of Naval Models itself, this set should still be available, although the stock is limited
navalmodels.com/

TreehuggerQ: Is there not supposed to be railings on top at the back in photo 3? Just below the mast structure.
22 October 2023, 17:29
Matti Thomaes@ treehugger, yes indeed, it is one of the few pieces of PE that I still have to add
Guy, welkom, take a seat,
23 October 2023, 05:58
Matti ThomaesI've been working on the details to make it all look a bit more realistic, I hope to get busy with the airbrush very soon.
11 November 2023, 16:35
Matti ThomaesI had hoped to be in the painting phase by now, but no, still adding detail to it. I didn't have the time to do much, as other things kept getting in the way.
9 January, 09:41
Matti ThomaesWell doesn't time fly. It's been months since I gave you guy's an update on my Jean Bart. I have been working on her, but only in short sessions. This gave me the impression that I was getting nowhere with this one. Then came along the Plastic & Steel show where I had the opportunity to work on her for two full days, and lo and behold she is close to getting finished. Just adding the last details know, than some weathering, clear coat and windows and clear parts and done.
Hopefully next update very soon…
21 October, 20:24
Mike GoodmanI think it was time well spent, seeing how impressive your rendering of this tug is at this stage!
2 November, 18:23
Matti ThomaesThanks, Mike, It is indeed a far cry from the original kit, of I may say so my self.
2 November, 18:33
Snake PlisskenWhen you are finished, perhaps you can do a review on the PE set to correct or add to the instructions, in reference to photo #29. Great build so far ❤️️
2 November, 19:59
Snake PlisskenI'm only guessing at the 1957 and 1958 dates here but I wanted them on the timeline in some sort of order. The main point however was to showcase the amazing box art.

WIP of a blue-yellow biplane

After removing some structure on the kit wing the tank fits and can be glued later in place.
17 31 October, 18:27
bughunterWelcome Robert! Which one you want to take, the yellow or a green one? 😉
Please do not miss the project description, for the _VERY_ important reason for this project!
31 October, 18:55
Ludvík KružíkI'll sit down too. If I'm not mistaken, one green seat is still open. 😉
31 October, 22:40
bughunterHello my friends! A warm welcome to each and every one of you!
Working on the parts of this kit can be considered bodily harm! The bright yellow hurts your eyes and you can't see any details or damaged areas that need work. I would have preferred a more common gray!

KennethHallo Frank, the set with lap belts only could be intended for the US Navy variant of the Stearman, the N2S. Until US entry in WW2, US Navy aircraft mostly did not have shoulder belts. I read this in a review of a 1/32 Vought Kingfisher while looking for seatbelts and wondering about the same thing for my 1/32 Revell/ICM N2S Stearman kit.
2 November, 08:55
bughunterWelcome! Thanks Kenneth! That makes sense, as the kit offers also a yellow Navy plane with red stripes. Luckily my wife want it blue-yellow. All the pictures I found shows also shoulder belts, but that was mostly still flying machines and I guess the shoulder belts was added later.
I had already downloaded the ICM manual as an additional reference and looked at reviews because of an oddity on the upper wing. More on this later.
2 November, 16:24
bughunterBecause I was still in soldering mode after the seats, I immediately turned my attention to the tank on the upper wing. I like the look of the metal fuel tank now.
