Andy`s Aircraft Exploits.......

[The Smythe Meister]

The Blenheim there,I thought that as i wanted to make this thread interesting,i`d approach each build as a learning curve from the previous,(Or not as the case may be:tears-of-joy:!!),therefore,as a youngun i`d shove em together as fast as possible,smack a load of enamel paint on,and move on to the next build/victim,and always wonder why that horrible seam on the fuselage join was there!:astonished:I`m not just going to blast through the builds,but they will be done and shown "Warts and all"..... so hopefully there will be a noticable improvement going on.... no matter how small!!:tears-of-joy:... Here`s the Arado,floats fitted,(A superb alignment with the positioning points on the wings),some decals on,but the fuselage ones just broke up when being readied for positioning,(Just due to their age really),you`ll also notice that they need dull coating yet.......

I used masking tape for the camo,but have managed to get quite a ridge between colours.... may get some liquid mask for future builds.Finally for this update,i don`t like to stand still and want to keep things rolling along so the next victim is this little baby......

Got this for an absolute bargain from Evilbay,and only just realised that there`s an etch fret,and some resin parts in there!!
So there we are for now.... nothing earth shattering,but you expected no different eh?!!
Be back in a few days with,hopefully,a more inspiring update!!
Thanks for looking in guys,as always,any,and all,comments,thoughts or plain old abuse very welcomed!!

Andy,
interesting to see how you get on with the Fw189 - I've looked at these, and the thing that has put me off is all that glazing! Definitely a case for a masking set ( if available! ). Then again I note that the Arado & the Blenheim have a lot of windows...................

Dave,
Yes,i see what you mean re the amount of canopy masking type stuff required, :flushed:
Silly i know,but that`s EXACTLY why i like aircraft with a lot of that stuff.... stupid really,as it`ll be a nightmare to do,especially with me being so inexperienced with that kinda thing.
However,my thinking is,look at em,like em,do em,..... and do em until you get good at em!!....
I hope i do manage to suss that bit,because 3 of the planes i`d like to have a crack at in the future are the He 111,Ju88 and a Blenheim MKIV,

You are weird, weird, weird --- but I like that philosophy! (What does that say about me I wonder?) :thinking:

Nice to have you along,
