    Chris's 1/144 Ye-2 Conversion

    So, I've made a start on the fuselage alterations Before - I've already cut the solid part of the cockpit rear off And after, with the strake halves and taiklplane roots removed. From the first pic you can see how much surface detail is engraved. I'll probably fill the whole lot for painting...

    Italeri 1/72 Macchi mc202 Folgore

    What I meant was, stippling the edges after removing the glue / mask. Just an extra time consuming idea in small scale...

    Chris's 1/144 Ye-2 Conversion

    So, the plan is: Fuselage of the F7-II mated to the wings of the MiG-19. That's the easy bit But there's a lot of small alterations to make: Narrower chord tail fin Higher mounted tailplanes New airbrakes under tailplanes Two ventral fins Leading edge slats on wings Re-positioned guns Shorter...

    Chris's 1/144 Ye-2 Conversion

    Are we at the start yet? All these parts for one little 'plane. Okay, there's three full kits here... Lots of plans. none of which are actually relevant to the build! And a bit of light reading for reference material!

    Italeri 1/72 Macchi mc202 Folgore

    I wonder if ordinary PVA would work as well? There's a nice randomness to the blotches... Just thinking (aloud) a stippling brush might soften the edges a little... Have to try that...

    'Trials Running' Marine Nationale in the Med, 1900 - 1/700 3D Prints

    So, here's how the models come They're a lot less fiddly work than, say, Combrig kits, and they've a really nice pre-Dreadnought range. They're cheap enough that I can actually do the three ship 'Live Bait Squadron' - three Cressy-class armoured cruisers for less than one resin kit Next in...

    Nice to see you're using what's in the kit rather than scraping everything off just to add some brass!
