Completed - Sweet 1/144 P-51B/C Mustangs x 4

  Well it has been a while since I have updated this blog.  I have done a few things since the last update, breathing mostly.  So to everyone who reads this regularly (yeah right!), I wish you all had a good Christmas/New Year/Hangover.

  I don't actually remember how far I got with the WiP's on the 4 Mustangs but they are done.  Piccies here...

  These where all taken on the phones camera, but haven't come out too bad.  The canopies suck, but at least they are finished.

  PEACE!

Sweet 1/144 P-51B/C Mustangs x 4 - WiP 1

   Well here is as far as I have gotten with these 4 little Ponies.  Nearly there, had a little problem with the varnish on the Japanese one.  But I think I have solved it.

 

Please excuse my dodgy camera skills, these where taken on my phone.  You get the idea tho.

Peace!

New(ish) Project Sweet 1/144 P-51B/C Mustangs x 4

  Hello one and all,

  It has been a while since my last post. I have been a little busy.  Where do I start?  Well I finished one course at college (yay!) and I have now started a new one (woohoo!).  I have started a new job, I now work in IT... scary stuff.  So far there has been a lot of sitting down.  Then I have a few problems with my car.  One of them being that it decided to leak petrol all over the road.  Had to call out the fire brigade, I shut down one of the roads onto my island or about an hour... all good fun!

  Anyhow, enough of that crap.  I started these Ponies way back in May I think (surprised they where not up on this blog now that I think about it). These where started for the Mustang STGB that was being held over on Britmodeller.  Due to all of the fun I have been having the last few weeks I didn't finished before the deadline which was 3 weeks ago.  Anyhow, here come pictures of the progress I have made.

This is where I was upto until last week.  There will be another post with the almost finished Ponies.

PEACE!

WiP - 2 : Revell P-51B Mustang III x 2

  I've only gotten so far due to the aforementioned weather/airbrush issue.  Also I have no paints for this one, I will have to sort that one out actually.  I'm hoping the weather will clear up either this week or the next as I am off work for the next two week... WOOHOO! \o/

   Here we have the No.316 Polish Mustang III and the "vanilla" version next to it.  Doesn't take too long to get to this point, I could've sorted out the wing joins but I dont think they show up too much.

  Close up of the vanilla Mustang.

  The Polish one this time, these builds are really quick and easy, just helps if you have the right paints I guess :P

  More to come soon hopefully!

  PEACE!

The List Part 1

  Well I am have been meaning to do this for a long time, here will be a list of most of my projects going on right now.  This list is not complete as there is some other stuff I got laying around that I couldn't be arsed to photograph yet, I may do later on tho.  Right I will start with the aircraft first.

Here we have a Hawker Hurricane Mk. IIC with a conversion kit to turn it into an IID (from 3-D Kits) which was as far as I am aware the RAF's first dedicated Tank-buster.  I also have another IIC thats half built but my dog had a chew of it and ate the left tailplane.  I might be able to bodge something with the other parts and see if I can have an IIC and IID together.  I'm sure I read that they worked together in the African desert.  Still I love that plane.  There is a P-51B Mustang, I can paint this in RAF or USAF colours.  I'm thinking RAF, just because I am English. The Tornado ECR (electronic combat/reconnaissance) in Tigermeet scheme, I know the Germans are famous for their grand Tigermeet paint schemes (they are pretty epic) but I will not be using it.  I'm however gonna try to cut out the markings from the stripes tho.  Last there is the F-19, which doesn't exist, officially.

  Next up we have this little lot.  I'll start with the Hawk, this kit was actually sent to me by the RAF through the post because I was doing an MSc degree in Aerospace Engineering and thought I'd like to join.  I did try later on, less said about that the better.  Then there is the Ju-87 Stuka, this was always a weird and interesting plane to me.  It had great success until it met with the Hurricane and Spitfires of the RAF over the skies of Southern England in the Battle of Britain.  To say it was ripped a new one is an understatement. Also there is the A-10 Thunderbolt II/Warthog, a plane I have massive respect for.  It was literally designed around the GAU-8 Avenger, a gun so powerful that it actually slows the plane down when its being fired!!

  Got this one on sale from... ModelZone I think it was.  I'm looking forward to building this one.  I love the design of the Beaufighter for some reason.  I remember reading that the Japanese where totally petrified of this little plane tho.

  Another two models I got from ModelZone on sale.  I'm not too sure on the MIG-29, not sure if I'll do it in "The Swifts" colours or military colours yet, altho I am reading online that the Swifts and the Russian Knights have disbanded.  Shame I loved the Russian Knights' Su-27's. As for the Walrus, it's a weird little Fleet Air Arm plane that I like, I dont know why, but it has a weird charm to me.  Then again I have always liked weird and wonderful things.


  Thats it for the time being, next I will list the things I have started.

  Peace!
