Clifford KeeslerI've really been struggling with the F-111, I ordered a set of resin wheels a month ago and still don't have them,so kind of lost intrest. On a happier note I got informed today that Hobbylinc finally got their shipment of the new Revell 1/32 F-4Gs So my backorder should be filled soon.

Christian MeyerhoffHi Augie! Excellent control panels and lovely seats. This will be another gem made by You!

Choppa NuttaHey Augie those control panels came out well ! 🙂
Please tell me they are decals that you have used other wise I shall fall into a pit of despair if you say you hand painted them😉
Just kidding but either way, looking good !! 😄
4 April 2015, 21:54
AugieLol Sorry chaps..that is a mix of both decals and painting. with a pre-wash
4 April 2015, 22:47
Choppa Nuttahaha 🙂 either way it is your best looking control panel thus far ! 🙂

Christian RistitsI am excited how it will look finished and how the quality of the kit is!

AugieMany thanks gentlemen I'm glad your liking.
This is definitely a great kit, airfix really have done well
5 April 2015, 08:03
Holger KranichThe worlds most ugly, series build airplane!😄 But your work on the kit is great, as usual, Augie!
The panellines look a bit washed out, are they?
5 April 2015, 08:15
AugieThanks Holly,
the panel lines are very crisp maybe a little deep for but they will take paint and washes well
5 April 2015, 08:20
Aghis BarberopoulosExcellent work on the instrument panel. The pit will look good once closed up.

AugieSo, Cockpit shot.. showing what it looks like together..
then the other .. body together and silver on it
9 April 2015, 21:05
Augiethanks chaps 🙂 the silver seems to be ok so far.. might need a future coat to balance tones
10 April 2015, 07:23
AugieSo Chaps.. the results of more hours than I care to think trying to get this dayglow right..
Still not perfect.. and very tempted to strip it down to plastic and start again..might explain the new RF-84G I have been looking at

Steve Wilson...

Vitor CostaHello Augie
Really nice build! I specially like the way you did the daglo, and with a brush is even more amazing the way it turn! Looking forward to see it finished.
25 April 2015, 09:07
AugieOddly enough.. I have just seen something thats given me a change of heart... and scheme..
27 April 2015, 19:48
Kees KleijwegtLooking very nice Augie! On what brand of fluo paint did you settle in the end?
27 April 2015, 19:50
AugieHi Kees, It was a old Revel one I had kicking around thinned heavily..
Oddly tho.. I am actually considering stripping it and re-doing it in tactical camo.. saw a picture of a gnat in it and it really looks good..
Or I might just buy another lol..
27 April 2015, 19:53
Steve Wilson...
Cor!!! Augie, really twisted yer! arm eh! Lol (((😄 ))) You truly are a proper modeller...👍
28 April 2015, 07:15
Thomas Bischoffcompletely agree with everyone - great painting and too good to be stripped
28 April 2015, 16:17
Augie🙂 thanks guys and yeah its ok.. this one not being stripped.. I have the ultra fine sandpaper i need to repair a few spots so second Gnat order going in.
28 April 2015, 17:12
Clifford KeeslerLooks totally awesome Augie, wish I could brush paint that well. LOL.
29 April 2015, 02:37
Kerry COXAugie, Again your impressing everyone, and I do like your instrument panels mate. 🙂
29 April 2015, 14:57
Choppa Nuttayou might have to get a third one to do the Red Arrows scheme too😉
"Gnat" what you were expecting ? 😄
Anyhow, it would be a sweet looking trio
29 April 2015, 17:41
Kerry COXAugie, Mate, Your giving air brushing a bad name.:-/
Just wonderful and patient work. 🙂
10 May 2015, 20:40
Aghis BarberopoulosSuch a colourful addition to your display Augie! Another example of your miracle hand brush😉
11 May 2015, 17:07
Choppa Nuttathat is one really cute model Augie !
when one sees a nice example of a build it makes it very tempting to get one 🙂
11 May 2015, 17:35
Augiethanks choppa 🙂 I was supprised how small it was.. its even smaller than a A-4
11 May 2015, 18:52
Kerry COXYour one hell of a competent scale modeller Augie and you never fail to surprise.
Well done again. 🙂
11 May 2015, 20:37
Leif AdamsGorgeous lawn dart! Be careful playing with it.
What did you use for the cockpit grime? Looks awesome.
13 May 2015, 02:15
AugieThanks Chaps..
And.. dare I say it.. she's done. one slight goof.. but overall very very happy with it.
17 May 2015, 20:37
Choppa NuttaI look forward to your next Gnat 🙂 will it be camo or arrow ? 😄
btw nice that you left the canopy open, anymore piccies of the cockpit ?
17 May 2015, 21:06
Kerry COXThere is an echo down here Augie. LOL. absolutely, well done.
Consistency in everything you do. 🙂
17 May 2015, 22:35
AugieLOl trust me.. I needed 3000 grit sandpaper to get it looking as good as it does.. that be why
18 May 2015, 16:47
Clifford KeeslerVery nice job Augie. Did you ever see the finished pictures of my F-4F? They are in a separate album from the WIP pictures.
19 May 2015, 14:53
Martien LourensIt is looking very good . 👍👍👍 I'm glad you have not changed it into another color scheme
