Builder of aircraft, any scale from 1:1 to 1:144!

I reckon I can get away with building the engines before I have to summon the bravery pills for getting the glazing done! |

Progress on the Stirling! After bravery pills the glazing has all been painted and fitted![]() Turrets are built up too. I built new gun mounts rather than using the traditional Airfix 'gunner with a giant doughnut in his hands' items, as like most of my models it's being built without crew. ![]() It also has markings now. As a 1661 HCU machine it'd have been through at least one or two operational units previously, so would be a little, well, careworn. It's yet to be weathered but on the fuselage I've tried to get the effect of old unit markings being painted out. I think it works... ![]() Engines are built, just need props, fitting, then the whole thing weathering and it's done! |
