kkarlsen Posted April 19, 2017 Author Share Posted April 19, 2017 (edited) Phew, almost two weeks since my last update, but the squadron is coming together at last... Been busy decaling and adding details... Squadron leader Keith Logan "Grid" Caldwell (NZ) - D6864 James Ira Thomas "Taffy" Jones (GB) - C1117 "T" Frederick Stanley Gordon (NZ) - D3438 "Z" Edited July 5, 2017 by kkarlsen MikeC, R Palimaka, KiwiZac and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimW Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Dang! Not only is it one of my favorite aircraft (Aces, High, too!), but three of them! Outstanding work. Any thoughts on the figures you plan to use? Cheers! Tim W. kkarlsen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joel_W Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Kent, The squadron looks simply stellar. All three aircraft's decaling is just dead on perfect. So good, in fact they look like they were painted with Masks. Joel kkarlsen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've used whatever I had available, decals: Roundels, serial numbers and unit markings, the large letters and the fin tricolor are masked and painted.

TimW Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Awesome figure choices! Although the air gunner with the Lewis could be problematic, unless SE-5 pilots removed their own Lewis guns? That'd make a great vignette. Still remember the scene in Aces High where Malcom McDowell's Lewis gets stuck, with some unfortunate results!

kkarlsen Posted April 25, 2017 Author Share Posted April 25, 2017 (edited) Diorama base with basic colors before applying static grass... Rigging, a bit of a chaos... Almost halfway throught the rigging nightmare... Looking forward to be doing something else than rigging...

TimW Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 No gun = Pilot? Yes. The other guy is an observer, I believe. Not sure the pilots took their own Lewis guns off the a/c, but they might have. Still looking amazing! Tim W. kkarlsen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Clunkmeister Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 1. look 2. jaw drop 3. Pick up jaw 4. Clean keyboard 5. Stomp all over my inferior builds. How the heck did I miss this one! What a stellar build! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel_W Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Kent, Just the amount of rigging on one aircraft is overwhelming to me, and you're going to do it 3 times. 1 1/2 down and 1 1/2 to go. I'm just speechless. Joel kkarlsen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
