In your earlier pics, you need to adjust the white balance to flash or auto. It must be stuck on a different setting.

Nice job mate. I am going to do an in depth build with tons of scratchbuilding on the Tamiya Spitfire Mk Vb Trop in an Aussie scheme. This is quite interesting for reference

Thanks moni, I wouldnt take too much ref from my builds john I know nothing about planes, which is only slightly more than my boss knows, which is why I can get away with a lot on this commission.

 

[tanktrack]

they are looking well built a great job - can they sack you if not the way they want lol

I have finished the cockpit, but I will have to post the thread and pics this weekend as I am too lazy. I will be doing a 1:48 Bf 109F Tropical after this to go with the 1:48 Spit Vb Trop. This build was motivated by my visit to the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum in DC. Will have to post the pics I took the there. They are excellent reference

i can understand that Joe,being to lazy i feel that all the time lol,

 

[colin m]

That's one giant job you've got there. All looking great, just make sure the 109 ends up in a 'compromising' position.

Nice work Ken. That framing looks pretty good.

 

[monica]

looking good Ken ,nice work on the back guns and turret

 

[Airfix Modeller Freak]

I agree with Joe. Framing can be a real pain with a big bomber like that. Nice work.

It's a masking kit (yes I cheated) not good enough to mask it myself.

 

[Snowman]

Man, that Lanc' is HUGE!!:eek:


Looking great!! :D

 

[Deleted member 3568]

Well much as I love tamiyas 1/6 bikes (and I do love them) I will never buy another Tamiya plane (I think I will have to give up on their decals and buy some other manufacturers (assuming they do the same markings)) the decals have fought me all the way, breaking up, not sticking, I just hate them, the bike decals seem fine. It's a shame as the kits go together really well.


I know some of you will say now you know why not buy decals when you buy the kit, well unless I want different markings to the one in the kit I don't see why I should pay again for ones that are in the kit.

 

[monica]

i do see your point with that Ken,maybe there just older and not on quite as good paper as they should be,:rolleyes:


and that the same reasoning that i would you as well, i have some unfinished one for the same reason,
