What's on the bench 2022

P70 still under construction.
The fuselage is not yet fully glued but the fit is good. Wings are glued but the upper air intakes (I think are those for the carburetor) have a bad fit and will need some putty. Unfortunately the spar that should sustain the wings is not very strong and I'm evaluating the opportunity to reinforce it as the wings, when completed, should be heavy.
Finally, the seat belts are from a 1:48 Tamyia Spitfire. I scanned the PE, printed it on paper, reinforced with masking tape and hand-painted with coloured pencils; not really a good solution from an historical point of view, but I think that with the closed canopy they will do their job.

Excellent example of proper CITB. Do I spy w/my little eye a Panther road wheel? Bucket'o'bricks will come in handy for cook fires.
Oooh crap...everything but the kitchen sink. :smiling2:. Suitably packed and painted Steve. Nice crap. :tears-of-joy:
The door and stuff in the pail takes the cake man.
Cheers,

I was really happy with these...struggling with figures more often than not and then I took a photo, and zoomed in . Feels like I may as well give a small child a selection of poster paints. The three maybe four on the left are alright...need pupils still but the faces on the right look awful!

Don’t worry too much, models always look worse in close-up photographs 
Glad you like it Paul. You did indeed. You have great eyesight. Here is the list of most of the stuff that went in. I left off about three items so that other things could be glimpsed at shall we say
Hi Rick. Probably reminds you of the Sanford and Son series back in 70's 80's?? Glad you like it mate
Many thanks Richard. The kitchen sink is there but I had to put it inside as it wouldnt fit :smiling5:
:thumb2: Cheers Neil. It was a lot of fun to do P.S The printer is still in the box:smiling5:
:thumb2:Keep up with the figure work Jack. They always enhance a model build
Fantastic detail Steve. Great deal to see there!
Nothing much wrong with those figures Jack. Clothing is very well rendered. Remember you don’t necessarily need to paint in the eyes. In the smaller scales dark shadows can work just as well.
That is so detailed Steve, I am in awe of your talents.

Lucky you that you have that option
Just off the bench….more lawn ornaments.
More shots in completed figures…..
Also on the bench, the KV-7. Big compared to my recent stuff.
Again, more shots and info in the group build thread, including a couple of minor issues I’ve had with the kit so far.
Cheers all
