Can you see what it is yet ?

With the airbus about to land in the bin its time to restore my faith in this religion of plastic. So out comes the daddy, this is a kit I've been wanting to make for a long time. So far I've just painted the main parts on the sprue with an airbrush full of interior green.

Not impressed

Don't know why this has happened, I'm going to blame the paint pies for this .

Getting there

This one is slowly getting near the end. The canopy, sight and aerials still to go on, but next up will be a pro modellers dark wash.

Branching out

In Modelzone last night, I was having a good look round and picked up the new airfix spitfire mk.XII, walked around some more then put it back and bought an airbus a319 and a ferrari F1 car. The car will be my first. It's a Tamiya kit so it should go together well.

Jiggle juggle

And I thought the rigging was going to trouble me. I hadn't even thought about getting the wings lined up on the struts.

Blimey that's small

Started the gladiator this morning, I can't believe how small it is compared to say a Spitfire. Not much happening inside the cockpit. A seat with some belts that's it. The canopy is very thick so you're not going to see anything in there. I'm going to have a look and see if I can get some more colourful decals for it. Lucky for me there are a lot of pictures around for this aircraft mainly thanks to the airworthy shuttleworth example.
