    So, an all-over brown ink wash to shade, next for the detail painting

    Chris's 1/72 Revell SE5A.

    Upper wing filled and marked up. I've used Xtradecal Pre-WW2 Roundels, or so it says they are They're nicely thin, and robust, and VERY shiny, but they needed a lot of decal solution to get them to bed down properly. There'll be a satin varnish overspray before attachment, after I've added...

    Chris's 1/72 Revell SE5A.

    Well, we're progressing more. With the usual problems All the main paint done, with the cowling oversprayed in Chrome for 'polished metal.' Soon for the upper wing and then the rigging However... So, I tried lettering with Letraset overpainted, but theletters just would not come off without...

    So, first spray of silver overall is on Which did show up even more the ejector marks on top of the lower wing, despite the filling. Also need a bit of work where the gun position was filled on the cowling, as expected The cowling will get a Chrome Silver overspray for the polished surface

    What you can do with 0.3 and 0.5 mm micro drills and 0.2 mm rod. Both 'frames' are now in place, and now all it needs is a little sanding stick work before paint! Yay

    Carrier conversions 28mm

    So, block painting is done, next for shading, marking and weathering. Now to work on the Cavalry carrier crew, and the Dragon tilt Base colour, for G3 analogue, is Humbrol Olive Drab spray, then two different greens for G4 a-likes. My G5 analogue doesn't contrast very well with the olive...

    Chris's 1/72 Revell SE5A.

    Why is my progress so slow? Too much work on the cockpit! And while the varnish is drying on the Hector, before I have to try and fit the coaming properly, here we are... Lower wing, tail-surfaces and undercarriage legs on. Had to fill some of the tiny holes for the rigging on the tailplanes...

    StDs 1/72 AModel Hawker Hector

    Okay, the latest success and mis-step Under wing registration letters on, using Modeldecal pre-war set. The Roundels are the kit parts, which are really very nice. The transfer sheet also has spare W/T markings, but I still needed more, which came from my Modedecal Harts sheet. The fuselage...

    Chris's 1/72 Revell SE5A.

    So, the wings have lots of tiny holes drilled ready Plus, I pushed in the top of the stand to fill the hole in the lower wing, and smoothed it off Then, I noticed in the reference picture I'm using, the 'plane didn't have the long exhausts, so off they're carved As the struts have a spreader...

    Chris's 1/72 Revell SE5A.

    So, the cockpit parts are painted... I did think about drilling out the instruments, but a few shiny paint blobs suffice And the sidewalls done with just a little shading And then the halves together And, of course, all that can be seen is the top of the joystick. We all knew this would happen

    Welcome to Papa695's Bi plane GB. Chat thread

    Right, last ones, showing a difference of twenty-plus years (maybe more) between kits DH9As For a long time , the Maquette R-1 copy of the Ninak was the only way to build the 'plane, other than the Blue Rider conversion for the Airfix DH4. I mean, no-one was going to do a NEW Ninak...

    Halfords matt black spray as undercoat. It's VERY matt! I've already done the all-over spray of Olive Drab, which is fairly close to the G3 Khaki Green base colour Now, I just need to re-drill the aerial mounting on the Scout!

    Chris's 1/72 Revell SE5A.

    So, for some reason, I got it into my head to put in cockpit detail What was I THINKING! Reference was the Wingnut site of their build. It's come together surprisingly quickly... Now I've jinxed it I could have just painted the sidewall detail... Only had one piece, first piece for the...

    Chris's 1/72 Revell SE5A.

    'May I say, sir, that now we are cooking with gas!' The silver job I'm doing has a white registration code on a PC10 panel, so I'm going to try that Letraset I got for the Matador in the Trucks GB We'll see...

    First up, Schrodinger's glue has been determined. Still might not use it though...

    StDs 1/72 AModel Hawker Hector

    'The bandages came off just this afternoon!' Niow THAT's what I'm talking about. Now I have a handle on the Alclad, it may see more use. Might still try the Vallejo if I come across it. I found a set of Mig metals and finish stuff in a model shop yesterday, but fifty quid a pop just to try...

    Welcome to Papa695's Bi plane GB. Chat thread

    Finally, and yes, I do have too many RAF silver wings kits, and there's still a few I'm looking for! Some of them don't exist as kits though... AZ Hind and Amodel Hart AZ do a slew of Harts, mostly, as you can see from the sprues, the foreign service radial jobs. Just from prior experience, I...

    Welcome to Papa695's Bi plane GB. Chat thread

    Here we go, Hawker Furies! Shiny! Honestly, the Matchbox one (still available from Revell with different squadron markings) still holds it's own, though the Amodel has more options. Plus the usual Amodel difficulties So, at siome stage I should end up with a Mk.I, a Mk.II and the High-Speed...

    Welcome to Papa695's Bi plane GB. Chat thread

    Okay, I'm going to do some more biplane compare/contrast sets, now I'm in the right place this time! First up, the Avro 504K from Airfix and Amodel. One of these will be converted to a 504N, when I get to building them! FirF AS you can see, the parts are practically identical, even to Amodel...

    Carrier conversions 28mm

    So, here we are, the Cavalry carrier is built Rifle frames and body work added, plus the seat back frames And so... The pyramid frame at the front is for the tilt cover. Strangely, this was the only variant of the carriers with a tilt cover frame included from the start Side skirts are from...
