    Heres the Eduard spitfire hf mkVIII in 1/72 , although this is the weekend edition its a very comprehensively detailed kit , beautifully tooled and only needing the addition of some etched belts ( belts are provided on the kit but only as decals ) finished with AK interactive laquer paints .

    Eduard 1/72 Spitfire HF Mk VII

    After a clean up its now had all the final bits done- a light exhaust and gun staining , undercarriage attached , nav lights painted , cockpit door and aerial attached ( no wire on this mark ) and the canopy unmasked and sliding section attached . The tiny rear view mirror was a nightmare to...

    Yaks century series in 1/48 part 6 - the F106 Delta Dart

    Bay doors now on and the drop tanks fitted . The nav light on top of the fuselage is supplied as a clear part and the kit instructions dont mention any colour , however looking at many photos it is red so out came the nail art jewels and one was fitted in place . Last jobs now are fitting the...

    Yaks century series in 1/48 part 6 - the F106 Delta Dart

    Got the cockpit unmasked today and looked at getting the missiles sorted . The F106 usually carried four falcons , two AIM 4 F radar homing and two AIM 4 G infra red heat seeking . The kit missiles are all identical so I had to sand off the end of two ,paint dark blue and add a blob of Kristal...

    Eduard 1/72 Spitfire HF Mk VII

    Unmasked now and one coat of Klear applied , decals next . Very impressed with how the laquer paints went on and the way they really show all the detail .

    Yaks century series in 1/48 part 6 - the F106 Delta Dart

    This is now moving a bit faster . The whole airframe has had a rub with some ultra fine wet and dry sponge which rubs off the paint on the raised panel lines and highlights them nicely , plus it gives the aircraft a slightly used look . This was followed by a couple of coats of satin varnish yo...

    Eduard 1/72 Spitfire HF Mk VII

    First top colour on now - ocean grey . Next up masking ,as usual for RAF ww2 types i’ll be using masking tape for the edges instead of blu tack rolls as the real aircraft were sprayed using mats laid on the airframe so the edges were sharp and clearly defined .

    Eduard 1/72 Spitfire HF Mk VII

    After giving the upper wingtips and spinner a coat of white , ready for the red , the underside medium sea grey has been applied. This is my first time trying laquer paints - AK interactive - and I found them excellent , I got the RAF set which comprises 8 colours . Thinned with MR color 110...

    Yaks century series in 1/48 part 6 - the F106 Delta Dart

    After a little bit of detail painting , picking out boxes , hydraulic hoses etc the weapons bay has had a dark wash , all ready for the missiles. The undercarriage doors have also been painted and just need the springs touching up . The kit supplies four Falcon missiles and one Genie . The Genie...

    Eduard 1/72 Spitfire HF Mk VII

    Got the airframe all complete now , canopies masked and looking menacing in its black primer . I had a slight hiccup though - just before I was due to get the primer on I noticed I had knocked off one of the cannons during handling . Couldnt find it anywhere but luckily amongst all the ‘parts...

    Yaks century series in 1/48 part 6 - the F106 Delta Dart

    This has been lurking in the background for a while now but its slowly progressing.The airframe has had a coat of satin and will probably get another one as the decals are still showing a bit shiny . The missile bay has now had all the bits added ( apart from the missiles obviously ) and is now...

    Eduard 1/72 Spitfire HF Mk VII

    Well this is starting to look like a spitfire now . A little filler was required on the fuselage top and cowlings top and bottom and a sliver of plastic card on the wing joint. This is down to me rather than the kit I think , as the rest of it fits very well . The chin scoop is just straight...

    Eduard 1/72 Spitfire HF Mk VII

    Had a good bash at this yesterday and today . The cockpit is extremely well detailed for this scale featuring separate side panels which the cockpit is assembled between then fitted to the fuselage. The thing to remember here is that its a very precise fit and even a couple of coats of paint is...
