It’s a nice build and good to see filler in use :smiling4:
An attractive aircraft in any countries colours. I like the less streamlined ones like the FW109 or Typhoon. Looking forward to the finish
 
I thought there was something wrong with my phone and had to take a triple take on your thread title...surprise surprise its a plane you're building John.
Looks good and you're turning it into your favorite Soviet subject.:thumb2:

Cheers,
Richard.

Thanks Gary. Wish the filler had been easier to sand, that angle was a little tight !:upside:

Ha,bet you did Richard, still as long as they don't get too hard to see the odd plane to fill in with will be fun.Just can't bare sitting about waiting for things to dry or the glue to fully cure. Of course in the spring /summer we'll be busy in the garden!
 
Lovely looking kit John, sometimes I think it does you good to get away from big complicated builds and go back to your roots.

Morning Mick, think your right, it's certainly given me a boost getting two builds nearly finished while waiting for stuff.
 
Hi John
Looking good. Can't wait for the tracks to go on - I know how that is your favourite part of the build and how much you enjoy it :tongue-out:

Wings John, they're the future you know.....

Afternoon Jim, yes no tracks, such a shame ! NOT . :smiling:
Having the afternoon in bed as chest is still very tight. Had a good start this morning got some Russian decals on. When I get up later I'll spray a coat of winter camo wash on .

Wings John, they're the future you know.....

:smiling2::smiling2::smiling2: Colin as long as I can paint it in 4 BO I don't mind !

Hey, another tracked aircraft! I knew they tried this on a B-36, but not on an A-20.

Im not 100% but i seem to remember the russians trying it too jakko , i mean its entirely possible - these are after all the maniacs that invented the aerosan , basically a bathtub on skis powered by an aero engine with propellor , oh and just for laughs lets put a machine gun on the front !!!

Morning all , been awol with the normal chest complaint, bad cold before Christmas always goes onto the chest. Now full of steroids and feeling more like it.

Finished this the best I can, seemed to have a problem with the A/B , now mixed up the needles and caps along with the nozzles, is't life fun. Hopefully a parcel from John is due so the new needle and nozzle will sort out some of the problem.
Decided on a winter wash in the end, didn't do the chipping. Think it looks reasonable, a lot harder to do than you think, need more practice .
Not the best photos either :anguished:.

John,
That has turned out well.
Kind of you to say Paul, had some trouble with the camo winter wash. Think it was a problem with the needle as they got mixed up. It went on better with the brush, I allowed it to dry but it was hard to removed it with the waster as instructions said. Have you ever used it ?
 
Looking good John , the faded ,worn winter whitewash always adds interest and character to the Russian aircraft
