@bassworm.bsky.socialActually did some work on the modelling bench this week. What you see us a 1/48 Vampire on an airfield apron. The plan is to put the whole thing in a picture frame and mount it on my wall. #histscalemodels
@stefjn.bsky.socialA good thread. Thanks.👍👍
@smilo998.bsky.social🐌🪖So most of the base painting done, though with the millipede wheels, those yet to be finished.
Comparison to TS2 on trailer.
In many ways the SCC15 brushed looks more authentic…IMHO
Filler on turret worked out well.

Progress on the gripen. Turns out i made the blue-ish grey tad too dark so the roundels are blending in a bit.
Good thing the tail art is so eye catching 🙃
@grumpybadger62.bsky.socialPaint on, decal day tomorrow #ItaliaGB #histscalemodels
@foodiefox.bsky.socialNot posted for a while but the Takom M51 is coming along, the instructions were a bit vague in parts, took me a while to figure out some parts were to bend the PE over🤣. working on the individual track links. This is the time consuming part but overall it’s a great kit. #histscalemodels #scalemodels

@twai.bsky.socialI told you it would be very Italian!
Slapped on the decals yesterday evening. They went on okay, there were some fuckups I had to patch up…
So next is the varnish wich will be the hardest part (that’s why I am doing all this before anything else 😂)

@mcsmith.bsky.socialThe planes aren’t that bad, actually. I got the Crusaders and Skyhawks assembled and the Crusaders detail painted and gloss coated - ready for decals. #HistScaleModels
@tardate.bsky.socialHMS Fearless from #Airfix. Last time I built this I was probably around 8 and it got the stringy glue/no paint treatment!
@ekotte.bsky.socialFinally got the Kitty Hawk/Zimi UH-1N sorted out. I had a decent time with the abt oils, although I preferred working with them on the 1/35 AH-1W.

@flypastrush.bsky.socialAlso up for some paint work tonight is my Su-25. Got the Sand colour masked off. Sprayed the second colour tone of Dark Green. The second shot of green evened the colour off some. Next I will switch to the fine tip and give it a bit of weathering. #HistScaleModels #ModelAircraft
@flypastrush.bsky.socialGot the Charcoal Gray masked off. Sprayed the second colour tone onto my Phantom tonight. The second shot of green evened off the colour. Next I will switch to the fine tip and give it a bit of weathering. #HistScaleModels #ModelAircraft
@smilo998.bsky.social🐌🪖No airbrush (I know), this is AK SCC015, diluted
Love the colour & oddly, the finish. Will need another go & no need for TS2. Have a shading idea too.
So far, modelling - less about aesthetic & more about a reflection of IWM photos.

@pchieza.bsky.socialUpdate on the Tamiya 1,35 Sherman M4, still a bit to do decals,oil wash, weathering etc, overall a really nice kit no real issues. #HistScaleModels #ScaleModels #Tamiya #ModelBuilding
@markbarnesn16.bsky.socialThe Meng Char 2C is progressing nicely. The tracks look a lot better with paint on them. The engine section is looking good. Next job will be to add panel details and other odds and sods before starting on the turrets. #histscalemodels
@paterpracticus.bsky.socialI decided to glue in some metal rails in the gap either side of the ladder. Added advantage of straightening the slightly bendy plastic of the carriage guides. #HistScaleModels
@paterpracticus.bsky.socialLadder assembled. The 3 main sections now slide nicely after quite a bit of sanding, but I’m not 100% sure how they are meant to fit into the carriage guide rails as there seems quite a large gap on either side. #HistScaleModels
