Italari 1/48 v-22 Osprey
Decals are on. I will be doing some light weathering then the final fittings. I am keeping the wearing lighter than usual as this is a development aircraft.- BarryW

Italari 1/48 v-22 Osprey
The airframe is all dressed up in her sexy black undies. I have also sprayed the underside colour on the rotor assemblies, Light Ghost Grey. I will do this on the fuselage next and then some masking up to spray the Dark Ghost Grey topsides. all proceeding nicely- BarryW

Italari 1/48 v-22 Osprey
I have been attaching some parts best attached before painting. That includes the canopy which I found to have gaps around it. I used Micro Kristal Klear to fill the gaps. That way no white filler will show when looking into the cockpit. I did lose one part but was able to make another from...- BarryW

Italari 1/48 v-22 Osprey
I have been dealing with some very stubborn fuselage seams but all done now though they will need some revisiting after primer. Consequently I have glued the tail and wings into place. These too will need some attention at the joins, then this the main airframe will be ready for primer. I...- BarryW

Italari 1/48 v-22 Osprey
I have managed to get in some bench time over Christmas. Fuselage halves joined and liquid gravity added. Just need to do some cleanup. The rotors are assembled, again some clean up needed. Undercarriage painted and weathered as well. I am expecting to get more bench time over the...- BarryW

Italari 1/48 v-22 Osprey
A few more progress pictures. internals fit OK except the rear ramp. It is OK for positioning down but to have it up I needed to sand a fair bit off the inner edge. i also need to position a fair bit of ballast in the front and there is limited space. So I used plastic sheet to block a hole...- BarryW

Italari 1/48 v-22 Osprey
I have painted the interior and done some dry brushing. Little if anything of this behind the bulkhead will be seen. I have also pulled together a couple of the sub-assemblies ready to fit into the interior. The small window transparencies have also been added, these had a perfect fit, I used a...- BarryW

Italari 1/48 v-22 Osprey
This really is a nice straight forward kit. A little lacking in detail which makes it a good base for detailing. I don’t know about accuracy as I have not researched the subject, doing as I am an OOB build. It is going together well, a little filler and strengthening here and there as...- BarryW

Italari 1/48 v-22 Osprey
I have been building up sub-assemblies ready to paint. Fit is generally good, no real issues that would worry anyone with a few models under his belt. Detail is basic and as I will have it buttoned up not much will be seen anyway. below you can see where I have used some plastic sheet to...- BarryW

Italari 1/48 v-22 Osprey
On with the build but first a couple of formalities. I have had a good clean of my model room and tools. This is how it looks now. For some reason photos are still positioned at the top so I cannot really lay this out the way I want in a logical order relative to the text. Regardless of...- BarryW

Italari 1/48 v-22 Osprey
After the Border Lanc I want something relatively easy to get back in the game and this Osprey in 1/48 scale might be just the thing. Not my preferred scale or subject, but it should be a fairly straight forward build, which is the medicine I need. This model was a gift from a friend while I...- BarryW

The Border Models 1/32 Lancaster BI/III
It looks as if parts O22 and O10 should have been left off. I might be able to reach inside the wing with knife and long nosed plyers to hack that piece apart. It might wreck the wing of course.- BarryW

The Border Models 1/32 Lancaster BI/III
Further to the above. The caliper is set to the amount of plastic that would need to be removed from the wing spar to get a fit. This is a full quarter of an inch, with the spar a full inch wide. That’s a lot. Even then it might not work as taking off so much of it would affect the structural...- BarryW

The Border Models 1/32 Lancaster BI/III
Well I now have come to a grinding halt and I have no idea about how to move forward. The outer wing sections simply don’t fit to the inner wing and it’s as if they are not meant to. I have tried a dry fit but there are substantial moulded in strengthening beams right in the way where the wing...- BarryW

I have been plugging on with the outer wings. No fit issues though some filler was used here and there. as previously mentioned am building her with closed panels and therefore leaving out the engines for which engine blanks are provided. I put together all four engine blanks and the inner...- BarryW

The Border Models 1/32 Lancaster BI/III
Time for an update. No real drama to report. No fit issues but the awful instructions are a problem for identifying exactly how some parts fit. Got there on the end, first with the undercarriage. the mid-upper and rear turrets are well under way. i am also working on the outer wing...- BarryW

The Border Models 1/32 Lancaster BI/III
Well my son returns here tomorrow, just for a week. So I won’t be at the bench again for a week. After that he is back to his normal life again, as will I. Progress this week has been good, working on the inner wings. Still a fair way to go on these but here are a few photos. Fit has...- BarryW

The Border Models 1/32 Lancaster BI/III
As Jim says this undercarriage is fragile but I am sure that it will hold up but the real problem is in the building. Look at the cross piece, broke while fitting. The missing ‘arm’ is lost so I am going to use stretched sprue to fix it. But I will have to remove what’s left and fix it in...- BarryW

The Border Models 1/32 Lancaster BI/III
I managed to spend nearly two hours at the bench this morning and only had to break off as I am expecting my cleaners to arrive. I will be off to lunch on the town and M&S for some shopping while they are here. My freedom really is back. anyway. I managed to get some positive progress...- BarryW
