    Airfix Harrier GR.3 in 1/24th scale

    Victor K2 replied to Piero's topic in Works in Progress

    Stunning model Just one tiny observation, the Harrier operated in some quite out of the way airfields/landing grounds with the ground crew working in field conditions. I can't quite see the aircraft having such clean "remove before flight" flags. Otherwise a championship model in the making.

    I agree with your sentiment, build and make a model in your style. I know will follow.

    Mission Model Paint (MMP). I endorse the above comments on this amazing paint. I bought mine at Newark model show last year and have been amazed by the coverage and durability. Tiger Hobbies are the U.K. importers and have began to supply a number of retailers. Great model by the way, I look forward to seeing more. Bob.

    ME-262 1/32 Trumpeter

    Victor K2 replied to Warbird's topic in Works in Progress

    Hi Warbird, I wish you had started this build from the beginning, so that we mere mortals could have seen you address and correct the problems that have mentioned. I have one of these kits on my "to do" pile (which is getting bigger all the time). I look forward to seeing more of this build and will be following this thread to help to promote my model to the front of the pile. Bob.

    1/32 Trumpeter Me 262A-1a "Yellow 3"

    Victor K2 replied to Thunnus's topic in Works in Progress

    As long as you don't send Trump over here, I will gladly have a shipment of JT albums and Supernatural dvd's. Without British help and invention (Jet engine) your aircraft would still be operating with pistons and beeswax

    1/32 Trumpeter Me 262A-1a "Yellow 3"

    Victor K2 replied to Thunnus's topic in Works in Progress

    If the undercarriage legs seem too long, it could be that the aircraft Trumpeter used as a reference ( photo's, drawings or museum aircraft ) were devoid of fuel/equipment/ordinance etc, and were therefore at the full extent of the oleo's. A lot of manufactures should offer fully extended or compressed versions of U/C legs. so as to give we, the modelers a choice of posing our model as either "in flight" coming in to land, or "on the ground" fully loaded. Oh, one other thing, we do Maths here in the UK, Maths is made up of a sum of numbers with an answer the result. A number on it's own is just a number and not Math as how did you get the answer without doing the Maths All joking aside, I look forward to this build , if only to give me some inspiration to get mine out of the loft/attic. Bob.

    Speaking as a former ground crew, most, if not all stenciling on aircraft are for the benefit of the Aircrew. If the aircraft had to be "turned round" by them (only likely if they landed at a different, non type operating airbase). The information given on the stenciling would tell them the pressure/type of lubricant etc, needed to replenish the aircraft. Failing that they would ring the home base and ask the engineers advice on what size spanner/screwdriver was required and then ask the ground crew to bring said tools and while they are there "could you please turn the aircraft round as you will be far quicker and we can get back to base". Why have a dog and bark yourself Great work btw.

    Could be that is the problem (window open). Cold damp air can cause an effect called "blooming". If a further coat is applied before the previous one has fully dried (this doesn't appear to happen in a dry slightly warmer, 65f , atmosphere). It may eventually cure in a drier, warmer room. Hope this helps. Bob.

    Handley Page's finest next, pretty please. ( of course, by all means finish Connie first ). I am so frustrated at missing Telford (for the 3rd year running) again. Especially as you had taken Connie with you. Hopefully I will make it next year and see the finished master piece first hand and maybe convince you to cut plastic on my all time favorite, truly iconic, quintessentially British, the true Queen of all things aviation, the one, the only, Victor K2 (or B2). Have I over sold it . Bob

    Telford will need another exhibition hall to accommodate this awesome build.

    A glorious rendition of "a million loose rivets flying in close formation". The next 6 weeks are something to look forward too as this build gathers momentum.

    Glad you decided to let us continue to follow this thread. It would have been a crime to see this build come to a halt because of circumstances your control. I look forward to see more of this awesome build.
