Eventually I got what I ordered, but it took some time and effort. I avoid it now. Rick.

Little progress, but the Spitfire starts to look like what I had in mind. Does any know where I can find the file for the serial number for the Silhouette printer? Rick

OK I never thought of that....

Hi Alex, Sucks big time.......however you can fix it easily, after cooling down a bit. Sand the places where the paint went of and just mask the area's around an fix the paint. I always use a sort of Tamiya tape, looks like it but is a lot cheaper, First I put in on my table so that it looses most of it's stickiness and the use it on the plane. SOD would be a waste. But first cool down..... Good luck Rick.

Great show Ani!!!

Thanks for showing this. What am I worried about overspray........

Tried to make the paint look like it has been in the sun for a while. Made some progress this long weekend, it was nice. Tomorrow back to buseniss I am afraid. Rick.

You would not want to be outside where I live....raining cats and dogs right now.... Going all the way with this one look forward to more.

I made the roudels the old fashion way. I suck at handling printers I guess. Came out allright, a few touchups will do A bit messy now

Nice!!!!!

Hi, Can anybody explane to me how to make the roundels on a Silhouette printer. I try to cut them with a circlecutter but the smallest seize is still too large for the hull and bottum wing red parts. I just cannot seem to get the circles round and fitting..........🤬 I guess it is easy but isn't everything once you know it? Rick

First layers of paint are on!! I think you can see where I want to go with this one. The intension is to apply a heavy weathering. Unfortunately the decals are a joke. Wrong colours and out of register. Maybe I have a bad print that could be possible but this is not good. Anyone else have expierenced this with Border? I used the dials which were in section that was cut out. Back to drawning board for that. Rick.

The Dragon kit. Beautifull kit in my opinion, only the instructions are, how to say that friendly, funny? Too bad because a set of good instructions would make life a lot easier. Used the decalset from EagleCals for a machine from 8/NJG 3. Most of them went on nice but the shark mouth not so I made a mask and used the airbrush for that. Hope you like it. Rick.

This is all I could find, hope it will help. Also found this link scroll down the page https://forgottenhobby.wordpress.com/tag/de-havilland-mosquito/ Rick

In Airframe miniature No 10 de Havilland Mosquito part 2 there are some pictures and drawnings. I cannot scan them right now but if you need them let me know. Cheers Rick.

How do you do that, would love to see an in action picture......

She is almost ready for paint. It is a nice model, a few instructions that were vage but no big issue's here.

Great topic, at least I do not feel guilty or ashamed anymore!!

That is what I did.

Wow!!!! Now where is my jaw.......

Hi Tolga, Looks great!!! You have got to tell me, when do you sleep? Cheers Rick.

Been working on the cockpit. Everything out of the box. Rick

Hi, Still working on the Spitfire, but also looking for a setting, I see the most beautifull diorama's here and that adds to the plane. I want to try that also. I came across this picture. That is a MkVb without the Vokes filter which solves a problem. A couple of pages back this picture. The blastpen is made of stones in the picture but I will try to make it from corrugated steel in 1/35th scale, found them on the net from a company called Juweela. I found a couple of figures on the Reedoak site and painted them, that took some time never painted figures before. The pilot, it came with a folding beach chair, you know the one that always folds together when you try to sit on it. Unfortunately the parts were so small and brittle that I failed miserably putting them together. I have a plan B. Groundcrew with a petrolcan. All the fuelbowsers were destroyed so refuelling a plane was handwork. I hope I do them right, they are beautifull figures and in the right scale. Back to the Spitfire!! Rick.

Looks great!!! Cannot wait for the release. Rick
