1. DDz Quorum Painless Posted January 23, 2012 1. DDz Quorum Posted January 23, 2012 ~S~ Chaps, Thought I would use my "stuck in the house time" to get back into building kits again : ) I would really like to build a complete Battle of Britain collection in 1/32nd so.... Revell's 1/32nd Ju88A-1 "Battle of Britain" is not as big as Pete's mossie but still a good size . Nearly finished the cockpit with all of it's 150 parts.......... ~S~ Painless. Quote
1. DDz Quorum FoolTrottel Posted January 23, 2012 1. DDz Quorum Posted January 23, 2012 Looking good Mick! Nice work! Quote
PapaBear Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 Nice one Mick, looking great The attention to detail in these models is brilliant, dont think i could work on them tho, once the Hatti Jaques set in there would be bits glued all over the place. Quote
2. Administrators Jabo Posted January 24, 2012 2. Administrators Posted January 24, 2012 Very nice Mr. P. Good to see you're being productive even if not being allowed out. Jabo Quote
Rattler Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 Excellent work so far, mate! I like what you did with the flare gun, there. Is it glued down in the seat? I'll have to think about where to put mine.....the instructions have it mounted in the canopy, ready to fire..... Quote

I'll have to think about where to put mine.....the instructions have it mounted in the canopy, ready to fire..... Hi Pete, Yes m8 it is glued to within an inch of it's life to that seat, figured that it will be easily visible through the canopy when it goes on : ) I ordered from Eduardo the canopy mask set along with the one for the Revell 1/32nd BoB He111(my next project). Came to 26Euros ! Also bought a nice little compressor and airbrush set ready for the big surfaces and weathering effects. (Used my Reno re-fund money for that) I plan on eventually making the most complete set of BoB aircraft in 1/32nd possible, all looking very tired. Should be done in around 10 years or so LOL Cheers, Mick. Quote
JensenPark Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 lucky it's not a Ju52 model. Friar would come over and break it by accident. Quote
1. DDz Quorum Painless Posted February 5, 2012 Author 1. DDz Quorum Posted February 5, 2012 ~S~ Chaps, Made some good progress this past week : ) Trying to think ahead to prepare for the spraying stage. Siobhan says she cant find the kitchen table !! LOL ~S~ P. Quote
1. DDz Quorum FoolTrottel Posted February 5, 2012 1. DDz Quorum Posted February 5, 2012 That is some nice progress there !! Quote
1. DDz Quorum Painless Posted February 11, 2012 Author 1. DDz Quorum Posted February 11, 2012 ~S~ Chaps, Just finished the undercarriage : ) I've also recieved the after market under wing bomb racks sadly missing from the standard kit for some reason Just the glazing to go and she will be ready to spray as soon as the weather gets a little warmer Cheers, Mick Quote
1. DDz Quorum Painless Posted February 12, 2012 Author 1. DDz Quorum Posted February 12, 2012 ~S~, Just trying out the preliminary panel line wash to see what works : )...... Cheers, Mick Quote
1. DDz Quorum Painless Posted February 21, 2012 Author 1. DDz Quorum Posted February 21, 2012 ~S~ Fellow modellers, This is how the black wash will look over the top of the splinter green camouflage after spraying.................. Cheers, Mick. Quote
1. DDz Quorum Painless Posted March 14, 2012 Author 1. DDz Quorum Posted March 14, 2012 ~S~ Chaps, Masking and air brush time ..................... The "sun faded" weathering is done on the upper panels but I need to get all of the decals on before the dirty "wash" goes on to pick out the panel lines and rivetts. Cock ups so far: ------------------------------------- Fix: Broke rear top gun barrel off--------------------------------- Stick back on at completion Broke gunsight off-------------------------------------- Superglued back on. Cracked canopy side panel.---------------------------------------- Live with it. Melted left aileron tip and damaged------------------------------------- Cut off two fingers !! left wing tip with candle !!!!! Ordered 5 new parts from Revell UK (free of charge but 4 to 6 weeks delivery) ~S~ Mick Quote
Crash Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 I didnt know that they did spares! Looking good Mr P Quote
2. Administrators Jabo Posted March 14, 2012 2. Administrators Posted March 14, 2012 The spray job looks good Mick. Pity about your oops moment though. Is the damage to the wingtip recoverable? I assume the new parts you've ordered includes that aileron? Jabo Quote
1. DDz Quorum Painless Posted March 14, 2012 Author 1. DDz Quorum Posted March 14, 2012 ~S~ Nick m8, Yes wing no problem already filled and panel scribed . Crash: I was mega surprised too ! Lets see if the aileron and actuators turn up Cheers, P. Quote
1. DDz Quorum FoolTrottel Posted March 14, 2012 1. DDz Quorum Posted March 14, 2012 Apart from the few mess ups: Good show! Very nice paint job! Quote
2. Administrators fruitbat Posted March 15, 2012 2. Administrators Posted March 15, 2012 my fav weathered (at the moment) Ju88 paint job Nice job Mick, looks really good. Quote
1. DDz Quorum Painless Posted March 22, 2012 Author 1. DDz Quorum Posted March 22, 2012 ~S~ Chaps, FINISHED ! (all except for the port aileron oops!) Got some ideas from that weathered Ju88 pic you posted Kev, cheers ! Now the He 111 BoB................ ~S~ Painless. Quote
BluBear Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 Wow! Tremendous job Mick me ole cobber! Loving the detail and weathering, it's a cracker. Not sure if i'd ever have the patience for this! Quote
1. DDz Quorum FoolTrottel Posted March 23, 2012 1. DDz Quorum Posted March 23, 2012 Very well done! Gets to look so real, up to the point where the perfect roundness of the rubber tires starts to look weird!! (Especially in the 7th picture) Quote
1. DDz Quorum Painless Posted March 23, 2012 Author 1. DDz Quorum Posted March 23, 2012 ~S~ Arjen M8, You are right about the tyres! They have now been "flattened" by putting course sand paper underneath the wheels and carefully holding the wheel itself and rubbing back and forth on the flat table surface. What you can't do is get that "bulge" look in the lower tyre side wall, unless............................ ~S~ Mick. Quote
1. DDz Quorum FoolTrottel Posted March 23, 2012 1. DDz Quorum Posted March 23, 2012 What you can't do is get that "bulge" look in the lower tyre side wall, unless............................ Why not ask for a spare set of tires? Put them on an axis, put some weight on it, warm them up from the bottom.... slowly and steadily.... be patient and watch... and watch... and watch out to stop just in time... Oh wait, they're probably hollow on the inside? Hm... Quote
Snacko Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 Wow! Nice job Mick! The first pic I looked at, was that last one, and I thought it was from an Airshow! Looked very real indeed! Quote
