    Das Werk: 3cm Flakvierling 103/38

    Continuing the saga, here is where I am up to at the moment - Part 3 is assembly of the four long things that go bang!!!! There are seven pieces to each gun in total, the detail is very intricate on these, small seam line along the barrel. I just ran the sanding stick over the length once...

    Das Werk: 3cm Flakvierling 103/38

    I started this on Wednesday evening, so am a little bit ahead in terms of posting. Part 2 is the construction of the pedestal. Again as with Part 1 - it's fairly straightforward. All the parts cut ready for cleaning & assembly. I cant get over these elevator wheels - such thin plastic...

    Paul's Airfix dogfight double.1/72

    Thanks Steve :thumb2: :thumb2: , thought it might be - looking at the Humbrol colors. Seem to remember reading somewhere that RLM02 was the same color as RAL7021, but as usual can't find it when you need it!! :rolling: This one is dated 1940 - H27 + H145 splinter on the top surfaces which I...

    Paul's Airfix dogfight double.1/72

    No stickers yet - decided to leave the Spitfire for now and assemble the Me110, then all the stickers on both aircraft. So over the last couple of days I have cleaned most of the flash from the sprue, assembled the main components of the Me110 and primed everything with grey primer. So it...

    Paul's Airfix dogfight double.1/72

    A lot of us "cut our teeth" building little kits like this one, almost racing to complete it. I think duck egg blue was the first color I used underneath an aircraft. Painting it whilst the glue was still tacky!! and probably completed it in less than a day, including the decals!! ;) . In...

    Paul's Airfix dogfight double.1/72

    Well I've followed the comprehensive instructions to the letter !! So this one is nearly finished :smiling: Cut a small piece of sprue & glued it onto the fuselage behind Polo's seat. This fills the little gap and also allows a better fit of the canopy. After some hacking and whittling...

    Paul's Airfix dogfight double.1/72

    A bit late posting this one - Followed the comprehensive instructions yesterday - and ended up with this!! :flushed: Prop spinner to be painted before attaching - but after I've painted the plane. Tested the canopy against the fuselage - there's a gap so that will need filling. Also...

    Paul's Airfix dogfight double.1/72

    Started with the Spitfire first. Washed all the bits in soapyish water then let them air dry. Did a bit of fettlin' to remove the flash from the flappy bits & the spinny bit plus anything else that kept still long enough. Quick coat of white primer on everything except the spinny bit and the...

    Well here is my offering for this year's build and my first ever blog. Purchased after many long hours and being out bid at the last second! ;) The fruits of my long toil:- Rather "tatty" box - but there again I don't buy because I like the box ;). This set-up has been going for many years -...

    Revel 1/72 Lancaster

    Andy, From ww2aircraft.net I'm no expert on the "Lanc" but from what I have read - early/mid production "Lanc's" had the small windows painted over. Later war "Lancs" were built without the windows. The "Lanc" had a serial No LM739 - and first saw service in September 1944. HTH. Paul.

    The one that did not go booom :

    Monica, Looks good so far, interesting and unusual diorama coming to life. Colin, Here's another one!!!! Copyright to bombdisposalclub.org.uk I too thought it was a bit fanciful - surely they would have broken up on impact? Obviously another bit of German over engineering. Paul. :smiling:
