AnonymousDFB1 Posted September 5, 2010 Posted September 5, 2010 (edited) Never built this kit before so this is gonna be fun. Depending on how well I do I might try a little 'extra' Photo of the box and sprues to follow. Edited September 11, 2010 by Mish
AnonymousDFB1 Posted September 6, 2010 Author Posted September 6, 2010 I wonder what the extra is? I'm not saying that way I won't be committing to anything
rowmk9 Posted September 6, 2010 Posted September 6, 2010 fair enough Mish. I like the intrigue, the suspense! you say you're going for a scheme with some mottling, so its a late BoB aircraft or even sometime after?
AnonymousDFB1 Posted September 6, 2010 Author Posted September 6, 2010 From Memory it's 1940, I'll check later.
Mike Posted September 6, 2010 Posted September 6, 2010 From Memory it's 1940, I'll check later. It's actually 2010... stop procrastinating, and post some pictures!
AnonymousDFB1 Posted September 6, 2010 Author Posted September 6, 2010 It's actually 2010... stop procrastinating, and post some pictures! Back to changing nappies you Right Pics This is the scheme I will use No Swastikas
Col. Posted September 6, 2010 Posted September 6, 2010 It's actually 2010... stop procrastinating, and post some pictures! You'll have to excuse him Mish, he seems to have developed a new obsession with pictures of other people's model aeroplanes think he's at a difficult age. Quite glad you did post the sprue shots, first I've seen of the new kit, looks nice with plenty optional parts to cover various versions.

It just seems so much easier to look at the photos in this thread without having to bypass the distracting scrawl that seperates them in the review page
AnonymousDFB1 Posted September 7, 2010 Author Posted September 7, 2010 I read it :smug: Well Mike your review was one of the reasons I went got and got this kit
AnonymousDFB1 Posted September 11, 2010 Author Posted September 11, 2010 05:30 BST I've started and at 06:36[/b} I have got this far. Pilot started, cockpit complete, interiors sprays and the canopy dipped in Klear Stopped for coffee and toast
Mentalguru Posted September 11, 2010 Posted September 11, 2010 I've got one on the go too at the moment Mish. I'm nearly done squeezing an Aires cockpit into mine. Not difficult, but not particularly easy either. Will get it into some paint over the weekend, and maybe post pics soon.
AnonymousDFB1 Posted September 11, 2010 Author Posted September 11, 2010 09:13 Ready for buttoning up 10:50 Nearly ready for paint As you can see it needed a little filler, now an early lunch.
CPNGROATS Posted September 11, 2010 Posted September 11, 2010 That looks great, Mish...the pilot figure is wonderful....seeing your build of this Airfix kit, I must get one..!! BlitzCheers, ggc
AnonymousDFB1 Posted September 11, 2010 Author Posted September 11, 2010 13:12 Preshaed and the underside sprayed with blue/grey and continued up the sides of the fuselage 14:13 Topsides grey on the wings and the mottling done. Just got to mask up for the green splinter now
denstore Posted September 11, 2010 Posted September 11, 2010 Wow, this is a fast build! I'm deeply impressed!
AnonymousDFB1 Posted September 11, 2010 Author Posted September 11, 2010 Right remember this bit, you'll see it later Green splinter on matt varnish dry so on with the decalling Decaling all done Right some dinner now and then the home stretch
denstore Posted September 11, 2010 Posted September 11, 2010 Impressive! I feel like I'm moving like a slug compared to this!
Micha Posted September 11, 2010 Posted September 11, 2010 you're absolutely fast! that's a million pieces, I guess! WOW! Great work, Mish(a)
Andrew Jones Posted September 11, 2010 Posted September 11, 2010 This is some incredible speed modelling ,well done Mish !

I've tried an sort of succeed in showing her in her take off run with her tail wheel just lifted. I'll post the gallery pics tomorrow.
