Re: Stamfords Shed End Thread
Not my best effort but my sausage fingers aren't getting any more dexterous as the years go by unfortunately. My first build on the boat got to play with my new airbrush and replaced a few products with new ones that seemed to work well enough.
The kit itself is pretty simple. Fit is good details a bit soft but it looks quite good - the ridges over the engine the clipped wings and the powerfull prop make it a brutal Spit!

Certainly looks good from where I am sitting, sausage fingers or not!

Re: Stamfords Shed End Thread
Neat and tidy build, great paintwork, and it's a Mk XII with clipped wings. Outstanding. You've done a really nice job of that.
Would ya like to learn to fly? Would ya? Would you like to see me try?

Re: Stamfords Shed End Thread
Thank you for the kind words boys certainly helps the mojovation! As previously warned I'm attempting the Accurate Miniatures Dauntless
Interior green black boxes and dry brushing so far. Lots of interior detail perhaps a tad clumsy by today's standards.
The plastic is stamped 1997 and I bought this bad boy as cutting edge technology a long time ago so I can't really blame anybody else! Wonder what happened to that quarter of a century.

Re: Stamfords Shed End Thread
Nice work on that interior Stamford
As for the last 25 years, who knows!! Some days it seems like yesterday, other days it's an absolute lifetime ago

Re: Stamfords Shed End Thread
Yeah that just about sums it up Iggie! This is an unforgiving interior fortunately I'm good at taking it slow

Re: Stamfords Shed End Thread
It is a bit worrying how all this closes together - still got the bulkhead and pilots seat and turret ring to cram in there. Think I'm good so far but time will tell

Re: Stamfords Shed End Thread
The interior looks more than good enough to me.
