Volture

Hi my friends Here I am again with another project that I started …the very beautifull aircraft P-40N and I am using this very nice kit of EduArt series.A really great kit includes all that you need to make a good representation of this!!the only that missing is the flap system if someone wants them in down position!!So I started with the many photoeched parts of the cockpit ….and the result as you can see is nice!!Then I continue by cutting the flap to use the eduard photoeched set of down position flap… Your opinion is importand for me Regards Philippos

ok...The cockpit joined the fuselage....and closed!!The beautifull lines of this aircraft ..are barely visible!!!

Hi my friends ok...the microscopic photoeched belts are ready for painting....8 clutches of 2mm each ..adjusted to the "fabric" by bending....thank you god that you keep my eyesight in good condition!!! .So...the small "office" of the Scooter is almost ready to join the fuselage!! what do you think?

Thank you very very much Joel.....you help me a lot showing to me whats waiting me !!!!!!thank you i will check this out

I havent decide yet...i have to check this out first and i will see what i can do....in any case thank you so much dor the warning!!

Hi my friends.. I continue this project making a difficult adjustment of the resin wheel bay set of Aires....!!Added plastic card to fill the big void in the center and at the front...and soooo much rub to fit perfect the upper halves of the main wing...done!!

Thank you my friend... No i will not do that...but i thinking to open the front nose little panels if i find some photos of the inside...do you have any pics of these? Thank you again mate

Hi my friends, This nice project continues by assembly ..the engine and painting the visible parts Regard Philippos

Hi my friends, Here iam again with another project that i ve been started and its one of my favorite aircraft the A4 Skyhawk. As i know this kit is a nice upgrade of the old Hasegawa kit, and from a first look has excellent fit and details!Becides i will use the very nice Aires cockpit set and wheel bay set! So i started with the resin cockpit ...cleaned assempled and ready for painting!Also the main body of the engine assembled and it is ready to meet the exchaust tube. Hope to have a nice result.. Regards Philippos

Hi my friends, First of all i want to thank all for helpping me with the photos and advices about the accuracy checking!!My base for this check was the real thing and i think the Revell kit catches with a great way the lines of the aircraft. So...the main cockptit parts are ready for the first layer of color!The fuselage assembled and the deadly front compartment of th 4 MG 30mm canons are on!!A deadly aircraft!!! Regards Philippos

Awesome job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi my friends As i was checking some parts and in the accuracy research procedure i found out different dimensions and shapes in a first comparisson with the old kit of the Trumpeter!Is the revell kit wrong at the dimensions and shapes as the comparisson photos shows or not? Opinions or some accurate blueprints need it Thank you Regards Philippos

Hi my friends Ok....lets start with the cockpit!!Adding many of wires on the main dashboard and some tubes to the place of stick!!Wiring and curving its a challenging procedure! Regards Philippos

Hi my friends After a very difficult project ive made the F-105G ....i decide to start the Me-262 B-1a/U1 the all new model of Revell in 1.32 scale and the main reference by Kagero mongraph - 3d Edition!The study of this just started!!...The only sure this could be a great paint challenge for my skill because of the camo that it has!! Stay tune my friends Regards Philippos

thank you mr Whitey.....I dont know yet.....i think i will continue and finish the Revell He -111 P....or i will count my skills and make my scale dream ..the B-17

Finally my Thud survived at the IPMS Hellas 2016 Excibition & Contest between great models Thank you all for your kind words and especially marauderdriver for his priceless help and David Hansen for his suggestions You have to be proud about this forum and this site, you are the best!!! Thanks again

Thanks a lot mister I dont know yet about the next ....

Hi my friends, Well I finished the 1.32 Trumpeter F-105G Wild Weasel, and it was my first attempt in the jet aircraft category and the largest model I ever build!An absolute challenge for my skills because I had to correct the radar cone by using a resin cone, the profile shape of the tail by scratching new angle, and replacing the vertical fin by resin one. Also I use the aires cockpit set and wheel bays set that were more realistic than the kit one, and metallic landing gears to carry the weight of this monster!Finally I made resin clones of the wheels to avoid and correct the bad quality of the rubbers that trumpeter gives!!So…I tryied to do many improvements on a bad model kit testing at the edges my modelling skills in tha scale!!Does the result worth all that effort for me?Yes absolutely ….i learn how different kind of puttys act on gaps and shapes.Finally it is an fantastic aircraft that deserves any patient and effort. Thanks a lot to all of you for your advices, suggestions!! Regards Philippos

hi my friends... I think i correct the film on decals....so the masks are off....the washes done....the absolute dangerous landing gear are on ...and its steady on the first weight test....the main wheels are ready for weathering after the improvement of the trumpeter "wheels"... .what do you think? Regards Philippos

thank you kev.....i will never forget that you wrote me at the skyraider project....a good modeller became from learning to fix failures..... i will try

thank you so much for your help starfighter....i ll do whatever i can to make this out....thank you again

nope....the photo condition doesent help...the surface is mat...and i have to use cotter making microscopic holes on decal and then fixer ....i hope to succed

hi my friends As you can see the decals are on and remain some corrections on the film!!Comming next the wash procedure what do you think? Regards Philippos

Thank you mr Harvey....!!no i dont weatheri it heavy....i will try to make an aircraft of 1972...so the weathering will be on places
