Something old-school - scratch-built 1:32 Dart Kitten
Iain replied to Iain's topic in Works in Progress
Further progress with Fusion 360 - coming on leaps and bounds now! Bear in mind these designs are simplified - they are small in 1:32 so any smaller detail won't print well, or be seen! All now printed and painted - look really good - but haven't had a chance to photograph yet. Engine is printed as 6 separate components. And this took about 10 mins to draw up - basic, but does the job! A few more parts to draw up - but might, actually, finish this shortly! @wunwinglow - you really have created a monster...

Without the very light moderation we do here - things *would* go down hill - and potentially rapidly, as we've seen at times in the past. We're damned if we do, damned if we don't: but we have seen things get nasty before now so, sometimes a little pre-emptive action is required. Moderation is *never* an exact science - but we're all volunteers and try our best to keep things on an even and friendly keel. And we're human... It does get a little tiring having to deal with what, at times, seems like endless, and petty, sniping - some of us would rather go and build something. Iain

As this was stalled and under 25% completed - and I was looking for something simple to take part in this GB - I've moved this build here. Better than starting another new project - and may be a impetus to actually finishing this one! Will try and post an update this weekend... Iain

If allowed I'd like to move the Gladiator over that I started last year - less than 25% (still working on cockpit) and she'll be silver: Means I don't have to start anything new - but may be an impetus to finishing. Is everyone OK with that? Iain

Today we take a look at the latest from Fantasy Printshop - in this case a set of decals for the new Spitfire Mk.Vb kits in 1:35 from Border Models. An excellent variety of markings for anyone looking to build the Spit Vb in this slowly expanding aviation scale. Blue skies, Iain

Indeed - I picked the issue up when I built mine - only took a few minutes to 'fix' - but, fortunately, I caught it before the paint! Iain

I'm probably in a minority of 1 - but I love their 1:32 109E kits. Yes, they take a little work, but the surface detailing is more subtle than the Dragon kits IMHO. I'd love to see them pick up the scale again. Blue skies, Iain

Right... I'm going to have a *serious* think about this - as I really should start and actually finish something - and I can't miss being part of this. So, off to have a look for a relatively *simple* project (famous last words) - but I *will* be back with *something*. Iain

I'm still quietly hopeful a Spey Phantom will eventually appear in injected plastic form - I think there is a market for one, and not just here in the UK! Iain
-
Fabulous work - and on a project like this I'm surprised at the general *lack* of mistakes! Iain
-
Lovely image of a beautiful restoration - welcome to the forums Alan! Iain
-
Using the wings from either of the vac kits is a lot more work than correcting the kit supplied wings IMHO. I have a couple of the ID Models (Tigger) kits - somewhere... I'm so close with a solution - the really hard work is done - but it's at least a few months away I'm afraid - and I make no promises as I'll feel even more guilty if it doesn't materialise. Iain

Absolutely beautiful work! Iain
