Thank you for the compliments. This build is adding to my B.O.B collection and I was very pleased with the end result after hearing some bad notes on the MPMkit Thanks again Bill

Thanks Gil I was so proud of this accomplishment I have posted in a few spots . Challenging Build But I'm happy with the final plane. Cheers Bill

Finished tonight Out of Box,Invisible thread antenna,Tape belts Xtracrylics Dark earth, Dark Green,Testors Enamel Sky, Finished with Testors lacquer Dullcoat Kit Decals which were very nice. 264 Sq Late August 1940 Comments Always welcome Thanks for Looking Bill :smiley14:

NMF is Alclad Airframe Aluminum over Alclad Gloss Black Primer. I also used some different shades on panels, Highly polished Aluminum,etc Airframe Aluminum was easier to mask over than Highly Polished Aluminum. Was able to use Tamiya tape no issues. Had to buff some panels with SNJ powder after some type of feed through that scared the Alclad. Worked OK I do love the SNJ powder .. Cheer Bill

1/72nd Heller Saab Lansen Basic Build out of box Completed yesterday morning after Christmas celebration. Thanks for viewing Bill

Thank You for Compliments

Thanks for the compliments guys. B.O.B. collection grows one stronger. Cheers Bill

She is complete I accomplished some Pastel dusting tonight but did not Photo Yet. Comments always welcome Bill

That Is a VERY Nice piece of work. Well Done

Thanks Guys The Canopy and lower clear parts are masked with Bare Metal foil hand cut on canopy,raised panels were very helpful. Monogram canopy was very clear. I used Testor acrylics for RLM 65 and RLM 71, and I used Gunze for RLM 70. Waiting a few days for the Paints to cure before futuring. Thanks for Comments Bill

A few updates: Japanese tape consumption Some Bits. Used Baremetal Foil around the prop bases Now waiting a few days for the Gunze RLM 70 to cure before futuring...2-3 days I hope will be enough. Comments always welcome Bill

Greetings Started painting tonight,but heres a few construction notes: Starting Point Photoetched interior Canopy Basic Body And the beat goes on Cheers Bill

I like it. May I ask what yellow you chose?

Thanks Again Guys Off to next Project

Thanks for the comments Guys This is the Hobbycraft Kit. The paints were all Testors Acrylics thinned with Tamiya thinner. Final coating was Testors Spray "Lusterless" decanted and thinned with lacquer thinner before airbrushing. I made the intake covers,H.U.D. ,Seat straps. It does have a soft interior but with the hood down you really can't see anything. Thanks for the comments on the Bugaboos. That was some masking residue and I brushed it off. Thats all I added. Cheers Bill

This was not as bad of kit as many forum posters would have you believe. I am not about accuracy so >>>>Looks like a Skyhawk to me. Really cool markings Comments always welcome Bill

Thank You guys for the comments Appreciated Bill

Here are some photos of a Texan built to present to a friend of mine whose father is in the back seat. The kit was out of Box and I used Alclad for the the finish. Left all those wonderful rivets proud. Cheers Actual Photo MonogramModel Ignore Seam...My rush for completion Comments always welcome Bill

Very Nice work Gil...I do question that Pink background Nice Bill

Myself and a few other Guys in Black from Pittsburgh. Arrive Wednesday

Thanks for the compliments Guys This aircraft goes way into lessons learned. I did have a passion for the project and thats what keeps me involved. Thanks again for the comments and next project is 1/72nd scale. Cheers Bill

She is Finished and what a LARGE plane this is I am in the process of writing a build article Comments are welcome Thanks for viewing

The Beat Goes On.. Few little details I like MV Lenses for Formation lights after boring out the raised bumps in the plastic Futured Aircraft. The red looks discolored but it is not, just weird photo effects The black will be Alclad in the engine area...Painted the black then Futured it .We will see PS This is a LARGE aircraft in 48th Cheers Bill

Thanks Guys Yes it is the Monogram Kit, and includes all its challenges plus the resin pieces also. This is not a Shake and bake........More like a Hope and Pray. First coat of primer showed some serious challenges. More updates may take awhile. Cheers Bill
