    Pacific Carrier/Aircraft chat thread.

    Now we can start getting excited. Just a reminder, "Any carrier or carrier based aircraft from the war in the Pacific." Starting 1st May and ending 31st July '23 I will allow the Doolittle raids as well as those 4 Jugs that flew CAP off the Manilla Bay. As those were active combat missions...

    Eduard I-16 type 10

    Stuck the last few bits on this shelf queen, blew off the dust and pushed the weathering pencil exhaust stains about a bit more, should maybe of let the dry before photographing this. Now down to 4 shelf queens and 3 "ongoing".

    Karls RAF journey PT.3 Tamiya 1/48 Spitfire Mk.Vb

    Slow weekend due to tree going up and nativity costumes needing made. What happened to just wrapping a tea towel around the head? Gear is only engineered to be down on this kit, so it took some butchery to get it closed up, I would like to say gentle modelling but it was butchery with a pair of...

    Karls RAF journey PT.3 Tamiya 1/48 Spitfire Mk.Vb

    Another cold shed session, masked up and attached the canopy. Burnished Tamiya tape down with a cocktail stick and cut with a fresh pointy scalpel blade. Decided Tamiyas white tape not great for this. So just about ready for primer, black basing on this to give that "technique" a go I think.

    I'm going to turn Tamiyas Lotus Super 7 into this. Should be easy enough as it's mostly a paint job and a reg number.

    Karls RAF journey PT.3 Tamiya 1/48 Spitfire Mk.Vb

    Too cold in shed at the moment, heater only keeps it above the dew point to stop things getting rusty/damp. Wings went on with tight fitting roots, minimal fettling at the seams and there's one small gap on the underside, Tamiya engineering ftw. Started masking up the canopy, must remember the...

    Karls RAF journey PT.3 Tamiya 1/48 Spitfire Mk.Vb

    If you want a quick Spitfire in quarter scale it's your kit, only downside is some fences on the upper wings that need removed and then the panel line re-scribed.

    To be honest they weren't needed......only in jest. Reassembling them with the parts reversed makes them useful too.

    Pacific Carrier War GB

    Someone planted this idea in my head on the latest acquisitions page after I posted a Corsair, well the suggestion was just a straight up Corsair GB but it got me thinking. We missed the opportunity to commemorate the 80th Anniversary of the Battle of Midway this year, I think the Falklands...

    IRIAF Tomcats

    Was trying to replicate the green coating on the centre panel of the canopy that the HUD needed on the earlier Tomcats. Took about 5 attempts to get to this. I was thinking it was still a bit dark until I found this picture. So am happier now. Seam line to sort out now and then get masked...

    Karls RAF journey PT.3 Tamiya 1/48 Spitfire Mk.Vb

    So I'll be buying Tamiyas Mk.I after all, bought the wrong PE....... So that means this will be strictly OOB, which means no seatbelts, which means pilot figure getting used which means this will probably be wheels up. Got to the point where the office is ready for paint, but considering I just...
