DoomEngine Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Now you can build your plane, so you can paint your plane, so you can look at your plane, while you FLY your plane! :megalol: [sIGPIC]http://img.wp.scn.ru/camms/ar/375/pics/3_31.jpg[/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raisuli Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Now you can build your plane, so you can paint your plane, so you can look at your plane, while you FLY your plane! :megalol: I have all kinds of pictures of an aircraft in flight that I took on WestPac 1985. There is a Hasagawa model with decals for that exact aircraft, which I now have. Once I can skin a 14A with the same livery I will have photos, a model, and a DCS version to fly around...

SonofEil Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 I’ve had the 1/32 version of that kit sitting in the closet for a few years now. Really want to build it but I wouldn’t have anywhere to put it if I did, that model is enormous when finished. i7 7700K @5.0, 1080Ti, 32GB DDR4, HMD Odyssey, TM WH, Crosswind Rudder...

Raisuli Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 The family room in my house has a 16' (5M) ceiling...if you need a place to hang that... Just being neighborly :D I've that part covered already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FZG_Immel Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Actually I own two of these. The first one was left in its original colors and just weathered and flown, while the second one (in the pics) was repainted in low vis grim reapers scheme but yet unflown. I could see myself retiring one just for that purpose as I had a similar ceiling ;) [sIGPIC]https://forums.eagle.ru/signaturepics/sigpic70550_3.gif[/sIGPIC] Asus Z390-H - SSD M.2 EVO 970 - Intel I9 @5.0ghz - 32gb DDR4 4000 - EVGA 3090 - Cougar FSSB + Virpil WRBRD + Hornet Stick - Thrustmaster TPR Pedal + WinWing MIP + Orion + TO and CO pannels - Track IR5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dudikoff Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 It's a great kit. Here's my attempt: That looks great, nice weathering, too. i386DX40@42 MHz w/i387 CP, 4 MB RAM (8*512 kB), Trident 8900C 1 MB w/16-bit RAMDAC ISA, Quantum 340 MB UDMA33, SB 16, DOS 6.22 w/QEMM + Win3.11CE, Quickshot 1btn 2axis, Numpad as hat. 2 FPH on a good day, 1 FPH avg. DISCLAIMER: My posts are still absolutely useless. Just finding excuses not to learn the F-14 (HB's Swansong?). Annoyed by my posts? Please consider donating. Once the target sum is reached, I'll be off to somewhere nice I promise not to post from. I'd buy that for a dollar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baco Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 What an exquisite kit! the level of detail is awesome. Flaming Squirrel. Nice execution! Love the weathering. I personaly have the Die cast models... don´t have the time to build my own. (I radder be flaying DCS). But I must admit that the level of detail is not that grate.

SonofEil Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 (edited) Those big tamiya kits are really out of this world. Expensive as hell but worth every cent. The level of detail, and subsequent work required, is so far beyond anything I’d imagined when I was a kid. Besides the F-14, the F-16CJ is one of my favorites. The F110 engine itself is fully buildable and able to be removed from the plane. https://www.tamiya.com/english/products/60315f16cj/index.htm Squirrel that Tomcat looks fantastic. Great job on the detailing. Edited March 8, 2019 by SonofEil i7 7700K @5.0, 1080Ti, 32GB DDR4, HMD Odyssey, TM WH, Crosswind Rudder... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flamin_Squirrel Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Very clean, nice. Part of the reason I go for weathering is to cover up all my mistakes :lol: How did you do such a good job with the vertical stab decals? The transparent part of the skull and crossbones left a horrible white sheen on mine. I had to very carefully respray over it to fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eldur Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Some awesome pieces of work in here I just made a Chromecat (no painting etc, just putting the things together) ages ago, think it was a Revell kit though... no pics available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiraTheCat Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Any of you build cases for your models? I got out of model building in part due to the fact that they are damn hard to dust/clean. Seems to me that building a plexiglass case would be all but mandatory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flamin_Squirrel Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 This is where I put mine: https://www.argos.co.uk/product/2457424 Hopefully it'll give you an idea of what to look for if you're not in the UK. That said, it's not sealed, so dusting will be required eventually. For this I use a wide, very soft, paint brush, like the one pictured below. Works very well.
