TreehuggerA fun kit with a metal chassis, which gives it some weight. 🙂 I had great fun building mine.
To other's looking at this, the gray bottom, is all cast metal.

Christian AbrahamNow with some color. The end is near, but I still wait for the tracks

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.

Zsolt CzegleThis is just a quick fun project to kick back after a few months off....

bughunterOh, an Unimog!
I really like Unimogs and I'm sure you will convert this one into a golden winter Unimog too 👍
Golden will not be the colour of the Unimog, but of the medal you get for it!

Zsolt CzegleThank you mates for your kind words!
Łukasz: the stripes are masked and airbrushed. Not handpainted! 😉
19 September, 18:08
Łukasz GlińskiEven more respect for cutting all these stripes, I had to do the same on my Panther and I know how tedious it is 👍

Zsolt CzegleThank you mates for your kind words!
Łukasz: the masking was more fun than pain!

Greg BakerFirst print mostly successful. I will need to rework the thickness of the walls and the support struts for the roof. Much too thin.

LucLuke B3d printing, I wouldn't know where to start. Is the ami 6 a file you found online?
19 June, 19:39
Greg BakerI did find it online, but was a little disappointed with the quality. It required a lot (and will need more) work to be able to print it. I mainly have to increase the thickness of the rear trunk area. The strange overhang roof in the rear needs to be sturdier as well.
19 June, 19:59
Greg BakerThe second printing went much better. I made a mistake though, I forgot to add the support to both sides of the rear roof struts. Luckily one side seems to be strong enough to hold everything, and with a little paint I don't think the thin part will be visible.

Greg BakerGood timing. After a bit of a summer break spent watching football, olympics, and playing video games with my son... I just started back at the modelling desk. After clearing up a couple of other, smaller, Tintin-related projects, I'm almost ready to tackle this one again.
21 August, 14:09
Greg BakerWith the Hawker Hart off the bench and on the shelf… I guess it's time to tackle this one again. Getting the colour right was tricky. I finally settled on a 10:5:1 ratio of Tamiya XF-2 White, X-14 Sky Blue and XF-18 Medium Blue. Not perfect, but close enough I think.
18 September, 05:30
Greg BakerThanks Cuajete. It might be a LITTLE bit darker than I was going for, but close enough for me. It looked lighter in the airbrush cup, but I suspect the darker undercoat is at play here.

Greg BakerGot the windows in place. I used an old iPhone screen protector plastic cut to fit. For the interior windows I glued it them in place with some very small dabs of CA glue and then a brush of Future. However, for the open doors, I used the thinner "peel off plastic" that's supposed to keep the iPhone protector nice and clear until it's applied. Then I dipped them in Future and applied them directly to the doors. Let's hope there's enough adhesion once the Future dries. It SHOULD work, since I did the same thing on my Tintin Model T project for the windscreen. But that was flat… these have a bit of a curve to them.
20 September, 06:06
Greg BakerLooks like the windows are holding. Next up… painting some of the details.

Greg BakerI just realized that I've been looking at the colour scheme from the album - specifically the scene that takes place at night where Professor Calculus is taken down the stairs and dump unceremoniously into the front seat of the Citron Ami 6 by a rogue wheelchair, blasting the doctor out the passenger door in the process. However... since it takes place at night, the colouring is different (i.e. darker) than it should be in the light of day. Now I feel like I screwed up the paint job!
26 September, 15:46
Greg BakerBasically done. Just a couple of tiny bits to add.. like the license plate!
29 September, 05:14
Greg BakerI took a page out of my Spitfire build. Not quite the huge cloud of leaflets needed this time, but basically the same technique to show the poor airborne doctor losing all his documents!
