monthebiff Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 (edited) Thought I should throw my hat in to the ring on this group build, rather than diving straight in with a Luftwaffe machine andafter looking at my stash I decided on this one which is the Wingnut SE.5a with Pheon's nightfighter decal set. Also need to move my G-4 conversion along as well now as I have had no chance to do any real modelling for the last month so cant wait to get cracking again. Regards.

mozart Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Good to see something different with a WWI build Andy, I'm sure it'll be your usual high standard! monthebiff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Owens Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Museum Quality choice, but if anyone would like a less involved & expensive WWI night fighter, the 1/32 Hobby Craft 1693 Camel "Le Rhone" offers markings for No 50 Sq Home Defense. monthebiff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monthebiff Posted June 9, 2018 Author Share Posted June 9, 2018 Made a start on the SE.5 today, with this being a very early release from them there a a few area's that are a little basic in detail such as the internal fuselage halves. Lots of sink marks that I want to fill, so the easiest option was to remove the moulded detail, fill any sink marks and make some replacement frame work from plastic stock. and a quick test fit. Think this should look a lot better and less 2D than the basic kit parts. Regards. Andy KiwiZac, Gazzas, BradG and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alain Gadbois Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Nice start! This is an interesting paint scheme! Alain monthebiff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monthebiff Posted June 11, 2018 Author Share Posted June 11, 2018 Thanks Alain, By making new interior frame work I can paint and rig these seperately before glueing them in to place over the complted and painted fuselage interiors which will so much tidier when complete.

monthebiff Posted June 26, 2018 Author Share Posted June 26, 2018 Some progress on the cockpit/ fuselage, first up the interior was painted with wood tones and the fabric area painted white and Tamiya Smoke misted over with the frame work in place. Followed by Aviattic CDL on clear decal paper. I have also painted and rigged the cockpit frme work with Easy-line and 2mm micro tube from Bobs Buckles. and then fiited to the fuselage interior side walls A definate improvement over the original kit part, here you see the spare unmodified fuselage half next to the re worked kit part. Need to complete the rest of the interior detail painting and then I can get the fuselage all closed up. Regards.

mozart Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 A lot of fiddly work there Andy, though after your rivetting on the Hurricane it's probably 5 minutes work! monthebiff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still one of my favourite LSP projects that one turned out to be Max! Still have the rag wing to do at some point also. Regards.

monthebiff Posted July 28, 2018 Author Share Posted July 28, 2018 Finally made a little progress on the SE.5a and managed to get the cockpit painted and fuseage halves buttoned up. Next up is to get the lower wing fitted and move on to getting the upper fuselage closed up. Regards. Andy BradG, Trak-Tor, D.B.
