Managed to get in front of an airbrush this afternoon. It didn't start off well with the airbrush nozzle snapping off after I dismantled it for a clean. Lucky I own a couple of other airbrushes!
 
All the small items are mostly painted, just need hand paint the straps and brackets on some parts. I have been using Mr Paint and Mr Color for everything so far, bar the interior green which is Tamiya.
 
I should be able to find some time this week to start getting everything into sub assemblies. But man there are a lot of parts!

Its been a while since I have ready posted anything... Life is busy with work and family, as I am sure most of you are familiar with. I have been working on WNW's Jasta 5 Albatros over the last 2 weeks, when I get a spare moment in the evenings. I also raided another kit for another set of sprues as there are 4 schemes that I am waiting to do out of the 11 provided in the kit.
 
Schemes that I am doing are -
 
Albatros D.V 2065~17, Richard Flashar (2 victories) July 1917 & Hans Joachim von Hippel (2 victories), February 1918, Jasta 5 (Red Dragon)
Albatros D.V Stallion Jasta 5, July 1917
Albatros D.V, Ltn Wolf, Jasta 5, July 1917 (2 victories) (Blue & White Diamonds)
Albatros D.V Gauntlet, Richard Flashar, Jasta 5, April-May 1918 (2 victories)
 
Currently this is where I am, post I have a lot of other parts cleaned up ready for primer and paint, hopefully that will be done tomorrow morning when I have a few hours to myself.

Im looking at doing this currently for a magazine article. It's not hard to convert from 1A to 1D. Most of the changes didn't happen at the beginng of the 1D production run. Was around Mid way things were changed

Does anyone know if there are any other sources for Department of Correction parts bar the Webstore in Poland?
 
I am looking for the 1/32 Rotol Spitfire Mk.IIa prop if anyone happens to have a spare?
 

When did Barracuda release 24th 109 wheels?

This is my modelling buddy.... Does that count?

Can you post a photo up of them? In the beginning process of building one for a magazine

I think Eric nailed it. Many seem to squawk "I want it and I want it now", only to get the kit and throw it onto the shelf.

I can only recall the Waist Gunner from Verlinden

1/35 or 1/16 with a figure would be awesome...

Hi all,

Just an update that I posted on Wingnut Wings Fans on Facebook yesterday, for those that aren't apart of that group or on Facebook -

Just to clear all the confusion regarding shipments of the Sopwith Camels and not going into all in's and out's of each shipment. I know that in the past that everyone has been used to newly released Wingnut Wings kits shipping from one location. As we (Wingnut Wings) have changed the way we do things, we are no different than Tamiya, Hasegawa, Revell or any other kit manufacturer. Some Countries, Distributors, Wholesalers and retail stores are receiving there stocks before others are. This comes purely down to the amount they have ordered and how they have chosen to have their orders shipped to them.

Some Customers have chosen to take small quantities and have them shipped by air and larger quantities shipped by sea freight. These shipments will arrive at different times at their destinations. All I can ask of you, is allow your Distributors, Wholesalers and retail stores some time and Camels will arrive into stock as soon as they can. I hope that clears any confusion.
 
Weta are in the same boat (excuse the pun!) as they German and UK distributors who are also waiting for their shipments to arrive via sea freight.

Cheers

Dave
