That's more like it.

Ok, the Hurricane has been worked on for a couple of days now and it looks a bit better, i got a coat of 'klear' on it last night so i can hopefully get the decals on tonight. The Fw190 has just had the undersides and sides sprayed with RLM 65 because that's what the instructions said. I have gone back to one of my books and it says that RLM 76 was the underside colour for most of the 190's, I'll be honest and admit that i can't really tell the difference apart from RLM65 looks slightly more 'blueish' than RLM 76. Oh Well !

I only have these two on the table at the minute so i have been starting to look at my next model it's going to be either the 1/72 Me262 or 1/72 Bf109 G6 both from Academy, in fact i have started to get all the bits that are RLM 66 painted up. At the moment I'm swinging towards the 109 only because there is an article in one of this months magazines.

That'll teach me

I was trying to rush painting the Hurricane and it's all gone horribly wrong. I tried spraying the final colour without fully masking it up, and boy what a mess !

On the plus side it got me started on the 1/48 tamiya Fw190 F8/9, i can't believe how good a fit everything has been so far. Last week i had painted all the bits i could whilst they were still on the sprues, so it was just a case of dropping it all together.

For this project i am going to try and replace the gun barrels with some brass tubing and see what it looks like.

What's on the table

Well at the moment i have a 1/72 Revell Hurricane that is just waiting for it's final coat of paint and I'm just adding the final little bits to an Italeri Mirage III in Royal Australian colours.

I have just started my long weekend today so i should be able to get a couple of nights of good modelling time in.

I will post some pictures soon.
