  1. and... how about a small fee for posting my own pictures :D just joking, Richie, hope to see you soon Chris
  2. Easy... just look at previous step by step posts from Richie on same forum... Links above, just rewind a bit the post... And... I did see the "thing" in front of me this afternoon, it is really an awesone view...
  3. Yup, same for me... Still 12 hours left before watching Ricardo's Hornet in close quarters :)
  4. Good job so far, Lansen <_< that reminds me a bit of another Mitchell I know quite well and I am eager to see your end result with yours... Regards, Chris (BlackDog)
  5. :) Awesome job, when one see the kit parts at start of build, and the end result now, this is really a masterpiece !! Not much more to say, I just feel the urge to go back watching your pictures Chris (BlackDog)
  6. Hello Chris, how are you Nice to see your work on this Dora !!! And it is quite awesome so far, very nice attention to details, clean scratch-building job and very good painting and weathering :wacko: What more to say ? I am eager to see your work on the tail opening and engine, as those are areas that I did not open on my own Dora... Regards, Chris
  7. Hi spitfirelad, lol, yes, this is really a post extracted from the grave I did use Tamiya acrylic paints mostly for the plane. The pilot was brush painted with Prince August acrylics (quite similar to Vallejo, depending where you live). Regards, Chris (BlackDog)
  8. Hi all, some people here and elsewhere asked me to post pictures of the whole aircraft with the newly added cigar-shaped fuel tank (resin from Jerry Rutman). Here it is : Picture above also allow to see the thin wire going from right undercarriage reinforcing strut to a wheel inside the wing, then all the way to the tail wheel : when the main undercarriage is retracting inside wings, the wire pulls the tail wheel inside its fuselage bay... On the picture above, you can also notice the small white insulator that I did add on the rear part of the aerial wire : this is a small drop of whi
  9. WOW :( !!!! Now that's a master piece, a real work of art, Marcin... :blink: Very "nice" (ok, maybe not 'cute') and quite unusual plane, and awesome paint and weathering. Chris
  10. Hi all, some quick news, I have been quite calm (read - lazy - about modeling since some months :o )... I never did post any picture from the cigar-shaped fuel tank I planned to add to the plane, and I just restarted a small touch-up on this part beofre next weekend exhibit in Paris (Mondial de la Miniature)... Here is a picture from the Jerry Rutman resin tank, on which I did apply a thick coat of Mr Surfacer 500 before sanding it smooth to remove many small or not so small bubbles inside the resin... I then painted the whole fuel tank in RLM76, applied a protective coat of flat clear t
  11. Hi Joe, as told elsewhere, your D9 is a really nice bird, you did it justice, and the end result is quite amazing when ones knows it is 1/72 Now I just need to hide my huge 1/32 Dora :lol: What's next ?
  12. Hi Don, (and others ) well, it would be an honor to be published on ARC News front page, but without writing an article myself, I am not sure it is possible...
  13. Hello, mostly it is for paint shipping : this way I can do scratches, or large paint chip anywhere with a very realistic result, by scratching the paint... Also it's a kind of primer allowing me to see any flaw or glitch in the assembly (next time I should be more careful here, I left some rough seams).
  14. Hehehe.... you will know in a few days when I will start it... Quite different and maybe surprising I would say. Answer this weekend !
  15. Hi Silver1, good question and difficult answer... I have no real idea... I started this build on October 2, 2004. That's 4 full months. With a very rough estimate of 15 hours/week, maybe around 240 hours of work.
