I'm working on the P-40B,it's coming along nicely. As you can see I worked on the cockpit,added the wings and stabilizers. I haven't used any putty and it looks like I won't have to. Thanks for looking 😄

B
I highly reccomend this kit,so far the P-40 is nice,the Zero looks great but we'll see how it is when I start that one

I hope your Diorama is not directed by Michael Bay. 😉
Looks good, I heard that the Zero has some problems with the fuselage, because it's not straight.
26 December 2013, 15:23
B
Haha 🙂 that movie wasn't that bad,very inaccurate though...the zero seems to be fine we'll see though
26 December 2013, 16:07
Adam Carter
A friend of mine built the zero and he said it was a great little kit. The legs are very brittle though and prone to snapping
26 December 2013, 16:09
B
I'm putting them on the stand so it looks like the P-40 is chasing the Zero

Hunter Cummins
Damit brandon there you go again 😉;)😛
Makimg me want an aircraft kit 😉;)
26 December 2013, 16:15
B
Haha 🙂 I don't know how you armor guys do it,tank kits look very challenging and painting them by brush looks hard maybe I'll eventually get one 😄
26 December 2013, 16:18
Hunter Cummins
Hahaha they aint that hard really but they arent as easy tobuild as 1/72? Aircraft 😉 and id recomend getting 1/72 scale tank to start witn 😉;)😛
And the yellow green is way to yellow (just sayin;))
26 December 2013, 16:21
B
I'm going to the hobby shop later with my money,we will see what I come back with lol
26 December 2013, 16:26
Hunter Cummins
Hahahha im going tommorrow
And if you want a model tank
Gofor the dragon 1/72 scale tanks😄 because they are about 2 dollars or lower😄😄
And it still leaves a lot of money for aircraft 😉;);)😛
26 December 2013, 16:32
Duncan Cook
2 Dollars?
They cost up to 30 Euros up here. the 1:72 ones.
26 December 2013, 16:33
B
I think you mean the airfix,at my hobby shop they are 6 dollars for the 1/76 ones
26 December 2013, 16:35

New Pictures are up
26 December 2013, 16:38
Hunter Cummins

2 dollars is about a pound isn't it? God we get ripped off in Britain, a 1/72 dragon tank is about ten pounds!
26 December 2013, 16:41
Hunter Cummins
Adam I messed up because I forgot the zero lol
Its 20 usd here for a 1/72 dragon model tank
26 December 2013, 16:42
Adam Carter
That's makes more sense lol.
26 December 2013, 16:43
Hunter Cummins

Adam Carter
Quickest build progression ever! I thought I was quick lol
26 December 2013, 17:46
Duncan Cook
You are improving, you should take more time when you take your pictures.
More light and more patience should help. 🙂
26 December 2013, 17:53
Hunter Cummins
Wow brandon
You have lightning skills lol
26 December 2013, 18:23

B
The pilot was to big for the Zeros cockpit,so I cut his legs off so he could fit
26 December 2013, 23:58
Hunter Cummins
Man that poor pilot lol
27 December 2013, 00:05
B
Haha 😉 how's he going to fly? That might be a problem....lol
27 December 2013, 00:06
Hunter Cummins
Thats a really big problem 😉 lol
27 December 2013, 00:36
B
He must of been the first to get shot down
27 December 2013, 00:37
Hunter Cummins
Good story haha
It fits the picture necause there is an american P-40 on his ass lol
27 December 2013, 00:39
B
You're right about that! lol
27 December 2013, 00:41
Hunter Cummins
Hahaha ikr lol
27 December 2013, 01:06
Adam Carter
So i take it you guys are in the states, is Airfix hard to get hold of? Over here its everywhere! Great build btw
27 December 2013, 08:51
Hunter Cummins
Yup we are in tge states lol and airfix is really common here wear I am 🙂
27 December 2013, 13:43
Duncan Cook
I love Airfix, cheap and they have good quality now.
I also like the old kits because I love to sand and to putty.
27 December 2013, 13:48
Hunter Cummins
Their new kits are amazing 😄
27 December 2013, 13:53
B
@ Adam I'm also in the states,airfix is very common. At my local hobby shop,they have so many airfix kits they have a whole section of the shop called the "Wall of Airfix" and they're cheap to.
27 December 2013, 14:10
Hunter Cummins
They are like 10 dollars for the 1/72c basic kits and the starter sets are 12 dollars
27 December 2013, 14:16
B
The guy at my hobby shop said the 1/72 Lancaster is a starter set,I don't think it is even though it comes with glue and paint
27 December 2013, 14:17
Hunter Cummins
It cant be lol
It has 300 parts haha
27 December 2013, 14:25
B
I don't think someone's going to spend 60 dollars on there first model
27 December 2013, 14:27
Hunter Cummins
Yea me neither haha
27 December 2013, 14:35
B
2 new pics. I painted the engine of the Zero jet black,once it's dry I'll dry brush it with a steel color.
27 December 2013, 14:53
Duncan Cook
I think it would bebetter if you use a very dark metal collour, pure black is too dark in my opinion.
27 December 2013, 14:55
Duncan Cook
[img1] Here is a good picture of the Engine.
 
27 December 2013, 14:58
B
I'm going to drybrush it
27 December 2013, 15:01
Hunter Cummins
That.s what I do
27 December 2013, 15:07
Adam Carter
It's good to see airfix flying the flag over there. I'm surprised it's a big brand, we always get the impression you just sit around making horrors out of Revell kits in the states!
28 December 2013, 11:35
Hunter Cummins
Lol I dont even build revell kits hahaha and airfix is pretty darn cool
28 December 2013, 14:34
Fabian D.
Is there even a big brand comming from the US? Revell Germany claimed a few years ago that they had 85% of the German market, which seems true if you have a look in our toy shops and department stores... and my stash 😉 .
Although buying one of their aircraft kits (when you don't know what's inside) is always a lottery 🙂
But what they've done in the last years in 1:35 was great... the offered kits quite new kits, with "better" decals and even cheaper than the originals
28 December 2013, 15:16
Robbie
Fabian - Revell is the closest big brand US modeling company that I know of and if I am wrong I am sure I will be corrected. In fact Hobbico bought Revell Germany and reunited the Revell brand a little over a year ago. Here is a link for more info

Brandon - looking good 🙂

Hunter Cummins
I think robb covered it all lol 😉
28 December 2013, 15:41
B
Thanks Robb,I'm decaling both planes now,once they're done I'll post pics
28 December 2013, 15:44
Fabian D.
Thanks for the info... i knew hobbico bought revell Germany, but not the "other" revell ... but as we have our own revell i have never really noticed one of their products ...
