@sensiblearchie.eurosky.socialDry fit of major components. Looks like a pretty good fit. Some minor rescribing required, then I'll think about painting, probably in two sections, hull and wing. #ItaliaGB #HistScaleModels
@flypastrush.bsky.socialAlso made progress on my 🇷🇼 Su-25 Rook the other day with a shot of Sand tone to start its camouflage paint job. #HistScaleModels #ModelAircraft
@flypastrush.bsky.socialWorked on the first colour tone of my Phinal Phantom of the year. In the first set the paint process was giving me all kinds of problems, so I halted that mess. Cleaned up the damage and went back over with a new mix. Now we got somethingto work with #HistScaleModels #ModelAircraft
@sensiblearchie.eurosky.socialDay 2 of #ItaliaGB #HistScaleModels and bloody hell, these things are tiny. Less of the eye-bleaching shiny red plastic.
@shanepowell.bsky.socialOne of the kits I am trying to get finished off before I can properly start on the group build. The P170 is getting there, had a bit of an issue with a fuel stain brusher which refused to be thinned after application. I don't think its turned out too bad considering.

Despite the resemblance, the Hughes XF-11 is much larger and heavier than a P-38. Intended for long range high altitude reconnaissance, cancelled at war end.

The Wildcat is always a popular kit, and this is a Wildcat on floats - the Grumman F4F-3S. One built - it was very slow!
This kit is in 1:48 scale, from Hobby Boss.

@jaaaagirr.bsky.socialStarting #ItaliaGB the easy way. I did the predecessor AS37 before, so this should be a low hanging fruit.

@wodgerdodger.bsky.socialBeen a busy couple of days finishing off the M13/40 build.
Scratch building some jerry can storage for the right side then it'll be onto the painting.

@klppublishing.bsky.socialWhile the DBMK Hornet is still my primary current build, I've just thrown this one into the "Winging It" Group Build on LSP. It's one of LukGraph's older resin kits, and as far as I can tell, it's long out of production. Some challenges lie ahead!

#ItaliaGB 🇮🇹
Prepared the parts w/ a bath.
This time I thought I'd try painting the base internal colors first.
Then it's assembly of the DB 601!
@jspetrak.nameI unboxed Miniwing Fiat F-86K Saber Dog and well… I should apologize to SDV Model and Mark I Models for swearing how much cleaning and putty I need to assemble their kits. #ItaliaGB #histscalemodels
