Recommended Posts

Hi all, i started this build along time ago but just posting pics today, the build is in primer as it stands but pics show upto the filler on the fuselage. i used balsa wood as the plugs for the fuse, im building the 19 frame stretched 900. so the gap at the front is 51mm and 28mm at the rear. i have used milliput white putty, well here are some pics and will carry on though the build

Another stunner Chris !

Never fancy building something grey and drab ?

thanks frans, im building an 32nd f16, just got it painted so that should be finished soon, you can find it on bm, so what you got on the go at the moment?

Alright buddy ?

I'm really impressed with the quality (and speed) of your builds !

I'm hacking my way through a 1/48 Kopro SU-7BKL modified to BMK at the moment.

After that I'm going to do a Revell 1/144 A319 in Iberia colours.

It's going to get the full treatment, flaps, slats, maybe even spoilers, the lot !

Keep up the good work mate, always good to see your models.

Wow, the A380 looks impressive with that HUGE fuselage! I bet you could fill a sandbox with the sanding dust that came from the excess putty :)

LOL loads of putty but well worth the out come. Going to try and get a coat of White on later

Very nice, but i think your vertical stabilizer is crooked. It seems to be in one of the pictures (earlier in the build, the head on picture).

Well spotted didn't think anybody would see it, but it has been put right with a tiny bit of heat. It happened in the box with everything on top of it and bent it

Ok, good to know it is fixed. It would be a shame if such a great model would have been ruined by a crooked tail when all it takes is for one person to just point it out and all is well.

But once again, great model. Hope that i ever get the skills and courage to make such a drastic conversion.

Done a bit more the last 2 days, the fuse has had 3 coats of halfords appliance White and I've painted the red on the belly, I need to tidy the red up a little. Should be able to get the decals on tomorrow

I've finished the decals on the port side and now onto the other but I've had to stop. The tail decal has all split when putting it on so I'm now waiting for a new decal from Twosix as soon as they come I'll bang on with it
