  1. OK, I will give it a go Aircraft that will never get 'kittet' in 1/32 scale.. Lockheed Electra Dornier Do 17 'Wal' Sikorsky S-38 And the list goes on and on.... See what I'm doing here? Although all famous aircraft, they aren't wartime planes and therefore they will never get 'kittet'... What I will never understand, is why we haven't got a Sikorsky SH-3/S-61 Sea King in 1/35-1/32 scale? Cheers: Kent
  2. Parts coming together... Still working on getting the polishing/scratches right... Cheers: Kent
  3. It's self adhesive aluminium... Cheers: Kent
  4. Update on the 'foiling' The majority of the foil is mounted. Still some ways to make the details of the surfaces look right. It's almost 'therapeutic' and it's my first 'foiled' model and it won't be the last... Cheers: Kent
  5. First tests with foil... I did some initial testing with chrome paint, but decided to go for the aluminum foil. It's a lot of work, but I think it's going to pay off in the end. The shininess isn't too much, it has scratches and ripples, the rivets are barely visible as on the original aircraft. Overall the Foil adds to the 'illusion' of the aluminum surfaces. There will be some imperfections, but overall I'm satisfied with the result. Cheers: Kent
  6. Interior almost finished... Cheers: Kent
  7. Progress... Working on some of the oddities of the Silver Spitfire.. IPad instead of Gunsight Cheers: Kent
  8. Just to prove that in fact I've started working on the Spitfire.. Cheers: Kent
  9. Let's see in which direction it's going to go, I've been experimenting with chrome paint and foil...
  10. I'm trying to revive this build for the LSP Silver Jubilee... Since I was working on this project, I was pleased to learn that the 'Silver Spitfire' has been based, of all places, at Billund Airport in Denmark! And the only testpilot we have in Denmark is flying The Silver Spitfire at Airshows both here and abroad. Cheers: Kent
  11. Thanks Max, I know I have been absent for allmost a year, but I'm trying to pick up some speed with some small projects Kent
  12. Not a Hurricane Max but... Cheers: Kent
  13. Yep the 'Schneider' is finished, still needs a little touch up. I'm working on a way to present the 'Schneider' build... Cheers: Kent
  14. Thanks Max, I really got my mojo filled up yesterday, very inspirational! Allthough it's been a long time since I have been working on one of my complicated builds. It's intimidating looking back at how many 'obstacles' I have put in front of me! It will be a challenge for sure.. Cheers: Kent
