Building.

Michael Hickey
What's this did I miss the ending of the C-130.😮

Augie
Nah, this is a little side project. The herk may need some paint removing so working up to it lol

Greg Baker
It's probably wise to try and re-adjust your eyesight down to normal human levels anyway...

Michael Hickey
Removing paint, where do you plan on dumping all that waste.😢

Augie
Lol, well I hope I can do it in just sections that need it.. we'll see

Augie
Lol thanks Greg, already far sighted😉

Augie
A small update, its together and now being painted.

Clifford Keesler
AH, another stealth build huh.

Donald Dickson II
I was gonna ask the same thing. LOL It never hurts to walk away from something that large. I walked away from the BONE for a couple months. Those big kits can wear on ya.

Augie
Yeah i think its more i hadvpainted the walkways so kinda not looking foreard to redoing

Augie
another update, green is on. Needs touching up but its starting to look about right

Martin Oostrom
LOL, Aaron Liles' Zero on the screen 😄
Nice job aa always Augie 👍

Augie
Thanks Martin 🙂

Augie
Thanks James, its not a bad kit, little simplified in the intakes and the fit needs work but its better than airfixes

Donald Dickson II
James, that's why I like the timelines on the kit descriptions here. They have saved me a couple of times. And I have been burned when I didnt look at them.

Clifford Keesler
Yea I got bit on their re-boxed Viggen. It is the old Airfix kit. Raised panel lines, little cockpit detail. I got a resin pit for it, and I will re-scribe it and add details to the exhausht.

Clifford Keesler
Looking good Augie.

Augie
Thanks clifford😉

Augie
So quick update of the hawk, soon decals I think

Michael Hickey
Paint looks good.👍

Augie
thanks Michael, not my best has to be said, think the paints a little old

Michael Hickey
Hopefully soon I'll do one of my Airfix 1/48 Buccaneers in this scheme, but I'll use Gunze paint.

Augie
Cools 🙂

Gareth Windsor
Nice build so far. I have this one in the stash with the RN decals. You're inspiring me to get it going.

Augie
Thanks Gareth, fingers crossed It comes together ok

Clifford Keesler
Hey Augie, you could try dry brushing the green with some white, and the gray with the gray you used mixed with a little white. That might help blend the colors together. Just an idea.

Augie
I like it, I have done a bit of a repaint with a darker grey got to be careful not to blend too much as they were actually quite distinct lines.

Clifford Keesler
Sounds cool, I am sure it will turn out great. You are the master of zee "hairy stick". LOL.

Clifford Keesler
I found a Hasegawa Showtime 100 F-4J from one of my usual online stores. It came to 35.00 U.S. shipped. I guess I got the last one as now they are out of stock. LOL. I got Lucky.

Augie
Lol sweet, nice going m'amigo. Still interested in a vixen when I put my pre-order in?

Clifford Keesler
Yes, most surely.

Augie
Quick wee update, decals going on

Michael Hickey
That's putting some life into her.👍

Clifford Keesler
Looking good Augs.

Augie
Thanks guys 🙂

Peter Hardy
Cockpit ended up looking good Augie! How is the part fitting with this one?

Augie
Thanks peter, its not too bad fit wise, just need to dry fit things to be sure

Augie
Well she's done.. not my best by any standard, but she's not bad.

Michael Hickey
Nice going Augie, you got her done.👍

Augie
Thanks Michael, first one completed for 2019 lol

Clifford Keesler
Nice one Augie. A great way to start 2019.

Michael Hickey
Awesome, but I'm one up on you for the year. You'll probably build two more by the time I get my next one finished though, on the bench is the good old Airfix Buccaneer in 1/48.

Donald Dickson II
Nicely done! 🙂

Augie
Thanks guys 🙂 an mike dont bet on it lol am slowing down it seems

Michael Hickey
Your not slowing down, it just takes a little longer to build nicer models.😢

Augie
true, but in this case, its a bit of a mutt.. lol (tough crowd or what)
