Re: 1/72 Beginners entry Trumpeter Sea Fury FB11
In between filling and primer-spraying a friend's badly built Jag http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s183/joethefuturepilot/IMG_0114-1.jpg I've cracked on with the Sea Fury, gubbinsing up the internals before attaching the fuse together, however a nice seam is requiring me to fill and file a lot and...

Re: 1/72 Beginners entry Trumpeter Sea Fury FB11
Yep, thats my target for the next update. Thanks for the compliments re the cockpit, I painted it in matt black then covered it in a thin layer of white, then rubbed the white off and it had a very nice weathered look.
I hope that the finished model has similar feedback!

RIAT 2010 Press Day
The RIAT Facebook page reports that the press day is being planned for Wednesday 9th June 2010. I just thought you'd like to know, as I recall a few members of the board went down to the fence for this last year.

Re: 1/72 Beginners entry Trumpeter Sea Fury FB11
Showing the assembled cockpit (which I'm very proud of the worn finish on) and the fuselage just before assembly. I had to put a tiny piece of perspex in that hole on the left hand side as well...

Re: 1/72 Beginners entry Trumpeter Sea Fury FB11
Have now got all the gubbins inside the fuselage and have attached it together, although there's a huge seam down the middle, so it looks like there's a lot of filling ahead of me! I will try and get some pictures up soon.

Re: 1/72 Beginners entry Trumpeter Sea Fury FB11
Thank you!
So far I've painted and weathered the cockpit module and painted the fuselage internals. Hopefully there'll be some pics soon

1/72 Beginners entry Trumpeter Sea Fury FB11
I started this lovely aircraft earlier today. For some reason, the sprue shot has disappeared and I haven't yet taken any pictures of the work I've done. However I do have a picture of the nice box artwork http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s183/joethefuturepilot/IMG_0103.jpg Hopefully there'll be a...

Re: Fighter control model building competition
I'll certainly have a go at the 1/72 beginners category. Not sure yet what kit, although I think I'll probably go for something pre-1960...
