Very nice kit!

 

[peterairfix]

I had a whole day free yesterday so I did nothing but kit bashing.


And as I will have all panels off i will also have the engine on show.


And here's the result of yesterday's work.


And everything seems to be going well at the moment with no problems to report

This looks like it's coming along very nicely. I've just noticed this thread but I'll stick around and watch this come together

Time for a return for more work mainly around the engine mostly all pipes and the front radiator I am about a third of the way through this build but still looks nothing like a planeView attachment 275440 View attachment 275441 View attachment 275442 View attachment 275443

Hi Peter, looking very nice, I still need to build up the courage to start my Tiffy.
Just as a matter of interest, have you tried a black pin wash on the ammo belts? It really makes them pop and give some feel to the indevidual rounds

Something like this. The pnwash also gives an "aged" look to the brass and copper of the ammo.My pix are of a 1/32 Mustprang, in 1/24 on those big 20mm's it will really pop

Time for go all my GBs for the time being and try for a big push to finish this one.
To give you an update the body work is together and now looks like a aircraft I had problems with the cowling around the front radiator and has needed a ton of filler and I have add some wash to ammo beltsView attachment 278357 View attachment 278358 View attachment 278359 View attachment 278360 View attachment 278361
