Slow burner nearing completion. My Revell 1/32, EC145 Eurocopter in Metropolitan Police colors. Used Tamiya X3 Royal Blue and X7 Lemon Yellow. Peddinghaus decals that turned out a little pale and thin in my opinion. Still needs some small things including the windscreen wiper, antennae and radar dome. Its going to a friend from the U.K. who is living here in the states now. It's a good kit overall with options for medevac, police and military versions. Thanks for the great show.

First Tamiya F1 kit for me in, ahem, 35 years!!!
1/20 Ford Cosworth engine for the Lotus Type 79 Martini ...sitting in a sea of Ultimate sanders I just got from the 2017 Space sig.
Thanks guys I will never need another sander for life!

Tamiya gunmetal, Ultimate black and True metal aluminum
Lots of little parts and many color call outs are driving me crazy and making this a slow build

Just finished my first bike it’s a tamiya xv1600 roadster otb,painted in alclads and main body colour in tamiya aluminium coz of the large flakes for a metallic flake finish then sprayed clear blue then buffed and polished,this is the first model I have ever made public so a bit nervous
Thanks Arnie

Got the cockpit just about done for my Aoshima McLaren F1. I've picked up a set of Eduard belts as there were none in the kit so the main roll cage and seat are just dry fitted at the moment so I can pop them out to install the belts. Next up is a start on the bodywork.

[onemac]

Airfix 1/48 Lightning F Mk.1/1A
Tamiya 1/48 A6M2 Zero (Zeke)
Eduard 1/48 Mig-21R

Ultimate Black primer and paint on the Mig is MRP White to be followed by Dark Grey and US Navy GreyBblue for the camo on top. Underside will be Su-33 MRP 3-tone camo Blue topped off with Low-Vis Polish decals from Montex. I really hope my painting improves with the other colours as the white is frankly..... poo

Seams are all checked on the Zeke and silver paint will be applied to the Lightning by the time Dan struggles to read this

Been working on a Eduard 1/48 Fokker Dr 1 for a buddy build with a couple of friends here in Stockholm. Been using this as fun build and trying out some new stuff on. Have only added a couple of wires the rest is out of the box. The wood was painted using a light tan color with a dark brown oil paint streaked over and then finally painted with transparent orange. The rest has been painted in green, steel, leather brown, black and a custom mix light yellow and given a dark brown/black oil wash.

I’ve been working on this Tamiya Alfa Romeo 155 V6 TI Martini for the Car and Bike GB. Paints are Stynylrez Primer, Vallejo Metal Color and Tamiya. Sub-assemblies are just dry fit at this point. As Scott mentioned in his update, lots of paint callouts make for a slow build.

1:24 scale Belkits Ford Escort RS1600 Mk1
Motobitz 1972 East Africa Safari Decal and resin upgrade set

Slow progress on my Car Group build this week, the new set of decals arrived and the damaged ones repaired. Chassis and tub interior painted and assembled. I hope to assemble the seatbelts as I watch tonight's show. Looking to add the aftermarket resin and assemble over the weekend, getting close to the finish line with this one.

This week I completed the cockpit on my Mosquito build and joined the fuselage halves together today.

I used Tamiya XF-71 Cockpit Green as the main colour, then Vallejo Model Colour to detail paint. It then has a burnt umber oil wash and streaks were added with Ammo Mig Interior streaking. Finally I added Ammo Mig pigements (I used a mixture of different earth and dust colours).

I used a combination of Revell Cement and TET to join the fuselage halves

I also just realised the cockpit sidewall not yet glued in place in upside down in the photo

Got more done on the 1/72 Revell Phantom F-4F. Fairly self explanatory really since last week it was just a cockpit!
