  1. Painting stage, all of "decorations" painted using mask or handpainted like bell-emblem on tail (not perfect but had no decals unfortunately). Im not a fan of black-basing rather like to brighten surface using surfacer as a base, then I modulated primary colors making efects of worn metal surface. I will use decal roundels i'm not patient enought to mask them :).
  2. Progress - fuselage closed. I always check correct wings lift, in kit fuselage pushes them so they're facing down too much. Maybe that's not perfect comparison but it is some reference. This gap needs to be filled, it was not existant on real plane: gap behind engine cover, i filled it with CA glue then cleaned with Debonder - CA remover. to be continued...
  3. Cockpit finished, resin seat and HGW seatbelts from the box. I added Eduard instrument panel. Thank you John, I decided to bend underside fuselage part to met with fuselage halves.
  4. Next steps, some parts are real deal to be fitted corectly, extensive filling and sanding needed.
  5. Hi all, I started Special Hobby High Tech 2 kit Tempest MK V. Its a mix of nicely done details, not worse from mainstream kits with old-time imperfections bonded with their earlier short runs - for example cockpit collides with wheel bays, wheel bays with wing halves, gaps between fuselage and wings. I will skip adding engine, its a petty but this requires cutting and trimming plastic, lot of work basically. I found this scheme of Tempest from first years after war when RAF stationed in Germany. Fortunately Montex was producing mask for PCM containing W2-Y. Some details like bell and question mark was not provided. I will add Eduard PE with IP and some cockpit details. This is my idea on spinner correction, I glued plastic "core" from old droptank then poured few layers of two-component epoxy glue. When it cured I sanded and used Tamiya (thicker) and Gunze (thinner Surfacer 1200) for correcting small imperfections. Cockpit ready for paint, rear "wall" needs to be sanded to not expand fuselage.
  6. Tamiya Masterpiece kit with scratchbuild cannon and gun bays, Eduard seatbelts, ResKit tires, cables and some details added too. Sadly not many companies are willing to make this level of quality kits.
  7. Thanks! For me it is best looking Russian WWII plane, this Yak-9 version in particullar because of it "long nose". Thank you Dennis!
  8. Thank you guys! In my opinion Mc 202 should be way cheaper. ICM CR.42 is no brainer, no problems, only patience required when mounting top wing. I did my night-fighter version, showed it here: https://forum.largescalemodeller.com/topic/19440-icm-fiat-cr-42cn-132/
  9. Thank you guys! Much appreciated Kev! Thank you! Yes, this was possibly fast field repair.
  10. Thanks guys! Yes one wing was from one donor plane and rear engine cowling was from second donor plane, so this was very unique machine. Thanks! Yes we need more Italian planes kits in decent quality. Thank you Quang, I'm not diorama magician wanted to make some base in fast way. It was really for presentation for contest in one of Polish forums which main topic is "Africa".
  11. Last thing I want to address is exaggerated canopy "niche" on both sides. I corrected it using Ultra Glue and painted to tone it down. on real machines: It is finished - RFI: https://forum.largescaleplanes.com/index.php?/topic/98696-italeri-macchi-mc202-from-egypt-132/
  12. Hi guys! Italeri newest release, overall fine fit with raw surface and good interior details. I changed look of elevators and rudder, corrected fuselage wide lines and erased few on wings, added some cables and missing things in engine compartment. Corrected by a bit spinner too. I've made some rivets by painting from handmade masks and using watercolor crayons. WIP MC.202 Duo Camo
