  1. Coming together very nicely, Hubert! Kev
  2. Fantastic stuff! Kev
  3. Probably just Saturday for me, but unconfirmed at this stage. Kev
  4. Thanks, Tom. That doesn’t look like one of Thierry’s, so I’m a bit unsure of the provenance. If we can sort that out, we can publish it on the website. Kev
  5. I'm a ballpark guy, too. As far as models are concerned, I think making the balance and contrast between the various colours look convincing is the most important thing, with actual colour authenticity a distant second. On a more technical (and perhaps philosophical) note, the first thing I ever learned about colour theory is that colours don't actually exist. They're all just various wavelengths of light, picked up by the various rods and cones in our eyes, and converted to colours by our brains. Other creatures can (and do) interpret those wavelengths completely differently. So I take comfort in the fact that there's no objective reality when it comes to colours, and it's all just a complex neurological sleight of hand. Kev
  6. Howdy folks, I've just published this week's What's New update. Enjoy! Kev
  7. It's surface contamination, rather than a scuff or mark. This is because some dirty cleaning cleaning solution has been left on the model, and the uncured resin it contains gets cured to the surface of the model. (I have no idea why it comes out looking like white powder, though.) Your best best is to buff it out with a sanding sponge so that there's nothing proud of the model's surface, and then just paint over it. Kev
  8. Bombs away! https://forum.largescaleplanes.com/index.php?/forum/132-shark-mouths/ Kev
  9. Welcome to the Shark Mouths Group Build! This will run from 1 June 2025 to 30 November 2025. The theme should be self-explanatory: any aircraft featuring a shark's mouth design on the nose or engine cowlings. Our standard LSP Group Eligibility criteria applies: the kit must be less that 25% complete at the time of entering the Group Build, and satisfy our definition of an LSP kit (aircraft or helicopter, 1/35 scale or larger). Have fun! Kev
  10. Thanks, Matt. A mixed bag indeed. Panel lines look way too heavy to me, but it's a surprisingly well-detailed kit overall. The voids in the wheels are most likely drain holes in the STL file, so that uncured resin doesn't get trapped inside the part. This can be disastrous down the line (no need to ask me how I know). The white scuffing is also most likely from some incomplete cleaning of the parts after printing, but before curing. Will you be doing a build thread? Kev
  11. Happy Birthday, Paul! Kev
  12. Amazing build, Chavdar! And now the subject of this week's banner image on our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/largescaleplanes Kev
  13. Looks fantastic already, Max! Kev
  14. He's a member here, so hopefully he will treat us to a build thread! Kev
  15. Great stuff, Dan! Very unique. Kev
  16. Excellent progress, dutik! Kev
  17. I have both, and I'm still hopeless! Kev
  18. I think if you flipped the products around in that statement, it would still hold true. Go with whatever is easiest or cheapest for you to find! The Tamiya spray can primers are excellent too, though of more limited utility. Kev
  19. What a beast of a project, Dan! Kev
