Rafalbert Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Hi all, I am something of a late starter, so we will see how I fare. I will be building a Magna Models 1/72 Supermarine Attacker, which being a resin kit will be a first for me. I am also something of a novice with an airbrush (which I will be using) so the whole thing could be a disaster! However, I do have the Airwaves etched brass set and bellytank/tailwheel set, and an Aeroclub ejection seat and canopy which I was using on the Frog kit (my son melted it - don't ask...). I plan to use the modeldecal sheet with several aircraft on it, providing I can locate it in my loft. I will keep you all posted, and with the deadline looming on the near horizon the posts will be rather frequent! Dave If I can figure out how to get a pic on here, I will post it.

Rafalbert Posted February 21, 2008 Author Share Posted February 21, 2008 Finally figured it out! Here is a pic of the kit and accessories. The work begins! Attacker Box Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rafalbert Posted February 21, 2008 Author Share Posted February 21, 2008 Or not. How do you get a picture onto the thread? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DamienB Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Copy the 'IMG CODE' link to the right of the pic when you're looking at it in your photobucket account, and paste it into your posting here: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rafalbert Posted February 21, 2008 Author Share Posted February 21, 2008 I have it now. Many thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rafalbert Posted March 6, 2008 Author Share Posted March 6, 2008 Hi all, a bit of an update to my progress. I am trying to built this kit in between frantic studying, so it is slower than I hoped. Still, the fuselage is complete with bellytank, and all tail surfaces. I kept the cockpit spartan, just using the instrument panel and ejector seat, basically as it will be virually impossible to see the detail and to speed things up. I had to use a fair amount of filler, and will have to do a reasonable amount of rescribing, but it is starting to look like an Attacker. I apologise for the poor quality of the picture, my digital camera has decided to shuffle off it's mortal coil, so I had to use me mobile phone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rafalbert Posted March 28, 2008 Author Share Posted March 28, 2008 Well, things are still progressing, and have gotten to the undercoat stage so far. The kit has been more difficult to complete than I thought it would be. I have had to use a lot of filler on the seams/wing roots etc. and had problems with the white metal parts. Still, the challenge has been pretty good fun, and is certainly improving my skills somewhat. Not sure if I will be able to complete this beastie on time, but will endeavour to do so.
