Hi Colin

Welcome on board fella!

Another 1/72 bird! Wow, you guys have good eye sight. Will you be rigging this triplane Colin? If so, that will be some achievement. Either way, best of luck with the build I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

All the best

Ive seen less flash in a solar flare Colin. Good luck with it. I cant believe this is a revell kit. I have never had so much flash from a revell kit before, Maybe Ive just been lucky.

Hi Colin that flash is as bad as my Pegasus kit

[Guest]

Ok then, took me over an hour to get these few bits looking decent, couldn't find where the flash finished and the model started on some bits ... had to use some images as reference.

Got the 1st stage of plans built, needed a bit of filler but should look ok when it's sanded and some details replaced.

nice work colin. Hope someone from Revell sees this. They should give you a new kit.

[Guest]

It'll be fine Steve ... i hope .... anyway Ole's got the straight jacket and tranquilisers on call if i need them.

[Guest]

dont you just love filler lol,doing a fine job inspite of probs

mobear

[papa 695]

Yes i just love these just fall together kits, but i'm sure you will do a grand job Colin

[Guest]

Looks the the ' hard as nails ' is taking a battering with this one Colin!

Seriously though, why does it seem ( at least to me ) that aircraft kits need more filler & have more flash than armour kits? I have hardly ever needed filler ( Eastern Express KV-1 excluded! )

Cheers

[Guest]

its actually tipex patrick

the hard as nails was just a little to thick for this job.

going to try and add "some" detail to the cockpit today.

think i'm going to display it on a base with no pilot (as he's not the best formed), i have some RAF figures that i can adjust for a little diorama.
