  1. Hi Artoor, I hope this chopper build resets your mojo. The Whiskey is my favourite Cobra so I shall follow this build with interest. Great stuff.
  2. Lovely model Max and great pictures. Your enthusiasm for the aircraft is evident in the way you've captured the look. Entertaining and excellent result
  3. @s00ntir, thanks, glad you like it. @LSP_Ray, the article looks superb Ray. Many thanks for compiling everything and taking the time to post it. Much appreciated. It's a thrill to see it like this. Cheers, Guy
  4. Exciting stuff. Good luck on your adventure. I'm confident that you'll get to grips with everything based on the results so far. If I were setting out on this voyage of discovery I think I might not worry about little details like panel lines and rivets at first. Those are simple to replicate on a plain panel or component. I believe I would concentrate on getting the shape and appearance right at first and then begin to add more detail as I become more proficient. It would be interesting to follow your progress. Please don't be shy about sharing your experiments whether they are successful or not. Cheers, Guy
  5. Hi Chuck. I don't know if it's any help but this pic of a Danish F-16 just shows the fuselage flood light. The forward portion of the lens appears to be blanked over? I thought I recalled this feature from way back when I built a Viper. HTH
  6. Umm....we do know that Airfix is re-releasing their 1/24th scale P-51D later this year, right? I guess all of the Mustang wishing is for a new tool like the Spitfire Mk IX?
  7. Great job Tom. Beautiful model of a beautiful aircraft.
  8. Totally tremendous Kent. You should be very proud of the finish you've achieved.
  9. Tremendous effort Alain What a beauty
  10. McDD certainly knew how to make fabulous looking aircraft What a great shape.
  11. Hey Jim. There's a couple of reasons for that. Like it or not this is a prop-centric forum. Just compare the number of views on prop v jet threads to see this. Additionally many popular jets are comparatively larger than most props. Although popular with many a 1/24th scale F-whatever is likely to be 50% larger than almost all warbirds. However, if someone did release a 1/24th scale F-15 I'd be all over it.
  12. Wow! That's brilliant. Thanks Kev. It's an honour. Hi Michael, many thanks. I'm thrilled that you've enjoyed seeing the model. @MikeC. Thank you very much Mike. You're spot on about masks being the future. I appreciate everyone's kind words. Cheers, Guy
  13. Looks superb Craig. Perhaps you could try some gentle, localised heat using a blow torch of some kind to get the colouration?
  14. @LSP_Ray, thank you. Yes, please do. It will be a thrill to see it posted on the website. Let me know if you'd like more images. I took a bunch but didn't want to bore people. I still have the original colour versions of the b+w pics for example. Cheers, Guy
  15. Nicely finished and weathered model.
  16. You're doing a fine job Alain. I've seen many Japanese aircraft with heavily worn paint. Will your model be finished that way?
  17. What an elegant aeroplane Alex. Great choice. Will you build her in that scheme from the boxart illustration?
  18. C'mon Max! I'm itching to see more of this. What's taking you so long? Seriously though, great start so far. I am genuinely eager to see the foiling go on. There's nothing better for giving the effect of metal than real metal.
  19. What a beautiful aeroplane. Mirage got it so right with their deltas. Good job on battling this model into submission Karl.
  20. The all metal skin of your model really accentuates the beautiful lines of the Spitfire Kent. No cammo to disrupt the silhouette. Super job on the skinning.
  21. Simply stupendous! There are a number of you guys on here building large scale, metal skinned models that are uber inspirational. Keep at it Pete, this is another wonderful work of art.
