Any chance I get to avoid masking I jump on it, haha! I thank you! I must admit, having avoided Spitfires for quite some time you have ignited my lust for the aircraft again! I feel I simply have to plan for a special Spitfire build soon!

Dear Par, There are a number of good ones of many marks, so you are spoilt for choice. The Mk1a is something of an icon however. I suspect that you may need to get the masking tape out however! Regards, Z

Cool! That is one I havent bult yet! It is on the wishlist though!

@@pkmodeling What will be the next model?

​@@goforitpaintingI am scratch building a Swedish Corvette Visby in 1:200 scale

Thank you! There are certainly things I could have done better but I love these wierd subjects. Keep me posted on what you decide!

Will do.

Thanks for the tip, I rarely think of WW1 planes as interesting builds but I will keep this one in mind.

@@pkmodeling WWi warplanes is a whole different experience, wood and canvas. You might be interested in Revelle's 1:48 B-25 Mitchell. Very good quality, detail, opportunities for scratch build, goes together well. I think you can get online for 14-18 bucks.

@@JoToP That is a great price for such a big model

@@pkmodeling 👍 Happy modeling, bro!

I thank you! I was so blown away by the TSR2 so I feel humbled by your words.This is by no means the perfect way to do it but I always try to do things the way I want to and there is some liberty to be taken with these aircraft that went through many changes over a few years, mainly to keep the enemies guessing how many aircraft they actually had. I didn't get the cover for the top turret as good as I would have liked and the window framing sucks. I am starting to slowly realize that 72nd scale might be too small for my eyes. Have a good day!

I’m completely with you on the 1:72 scale point! I abandoned the Gnat for those reasons. In terms of interpretation, I think that even aircraft restorers take some license when completing their projects- I think we should perhaps take some encouragement from that. You’re exceedingly kind about the TSR2- many many thanks. Regards, Z

I am sorry, English please!

In my personal opinion as a fan of Italian aircraft, the thrust axis of this manufacturer's MC.200-205 kit is wrong. The axis line faces the fuselage, but the actual machine faces the base of the tail wheel. In short, I am flying in a cruising state with the tail slightly raised. I think this is to observe the forward and downward direction by raising the cockpit as much as possible. The E/G is installed according to the thrust axis, and the fuselage frame is installed perpendicular to the axis, so strictly speaking, the direction of the exhaust pipe, the rear wall line of the cockpit, the directional snake line, the installation position of the horizontal stabilizer, etc. is going crazy. At least in 202 and 205, the inclination of the exhaust pipe needs correction. By the way, 21st century model toys do not have the thrust axis wrong, and Hasegawa's kit is the same. For the desert camouflage, what we call green pepper slices are drawn with a small counterclockwise circle and a large clockwise circle. I'm drawing it, so it's getting cute like a cloud.

@@user-jyanome-daisuki thank you for sharing, it was very informative.

I appreciate that! I have been watching your TSR2 closely! Very exciting!

@@pkmodeling That one is taking a long time, but won't be so long to finishing- nearly done with the AF white paint.

Jag har en överdel till övers utifall att den behövs😉 God fortsättning på det nya året!

Fan vad tråkigt! Vi hade det över julen men som tur var så var det en mildare omgång än i januari. Krya på dig!!! Hoppas att du får till lite byggtid så "ses" vi snart! Gott nytt år!!!

Tackar, tackar! Jag lurar på en till 🤣 Det var både inspirerande och roligt att delta i ett tematiskt bygge.

Tusen tack! Som sagt, det är ju inte en exakt kopia men gud vad roligt det var att bygga den.

Thank you, kind sir!

Tusen tack! Jag ska grotta ner mig i dina byggen ikväll när ungarna somnat 👍

Thank you very much! Displaying things is always a problem. I give my son a couple of planes every year to make some room for new builds.

Why not just hang it from your ceiling?

I hear you on the Zvezda thing. I started this before the russian invasion of Ukraine and even if I probably never wil buy another I still have six in my stash. The kit itself is good, the warping is probably an isolated event. I freehand a lot of the painting but as you said, there was a lot of masking. The cars are ordered from superhobby.com, a polish site if I am not mistaken. But I also found a Hasegawa kit called U.S. Pilot/ground crew set from alfahobby.se if I remember correctly.

@@pkmodeling 6 Hercules in your stash??? You are almost as mad as I am with my Draken kits.. :) :) I will take a look at Superhobby, I have bought stuff from Poland before, including a Hasegawa 1/48 J35 F / J Draken kit that was considerably cheaper there, than anywhere else. Not sure if it was Superhobby or somewhere else, as I bought it on ebay. Sadly they only had one left, but I'm glad I sourced that one, at least. Will take a peep at alfahobby as well, you never know what gems one might find.. ;)

@@BasicModelling Haha, No I was unclear, it is six Zvezda kits but different subjects. Sadly most of them are russian helicopters and planes. Mil mi 24 and 28, and a Frogfoot that I can remember. I source most of my kits from Tradera, Alfa and Superhobby. I am yet to build a Draken😔, I know.... But I have plans....

Thank you so much Rob! You are too kind. That group build sounds very interesting, I have never partaken in one byt that might be the one.

@@pkmodeling Why do you think I mentioned it?? :) :) I thought it may be of interest. I can give you the details later, right now I am running '1900 - 2000, A Century of Conflict' group build, for which I will build the HobbyBoss 1/48 Tunnan in Congo camo.. among other builds planned. :)

@@BasicModelling Haha! Friday tired brain😴 haha. The 1/48 Tunnan in Congo camo sounds like a brilliant idea. Lets speak again about this. I hope you get to visit Flygvapenmuseum i Ängelholm soon again, If you do, let me know I will treat you to a barbecue.

@@pkmodeling Mitt pass har gatt ut och det ar nastintill omojligt att fa en tid att fornya passet pa ambassaden.. men jag hoppas kunna komma till Sverige igen i en inte allt for avlagsen framtid. :) :) Grillat ar alltid gott.. ;) Tack.. :)

Well, I humbly thank you for those kind words, truly! I am however more pleased with the Hercules build. That one was a beast to wield around on the bench. I wish you a very pleasant weekend and a good national day on monday!

​@@pkmodeling I have just enjoyed the Hercules video and it is another gem, very nice. I plan to have matjesill med graddfil och farsk potatis on Monday, it will be my contribution to the Swedish Nationaldag, from abroad.. ;)

@@BasicModelling excellent choice!

@@pkmodeling Luckily , even after Brexit, there is still a ready supply of Swedish food available, from specialist shops in London, aven om det kostar skjortan . ;) IKEA seem a bit disappointing as a food supplier these days though.. On a side note, I work for a company making food for hospitals and the RAF, and we export mash and meatballs to Sweden now, amongst other food. It is a strange world we live in..

@@BasicModelling it certainly is and something tells me it will get stranger. I ordered sanders from Flory Models about four, five weeks ago and they still haven't turned up.

Thank you very much! Stay tuned, I Will upload my first build in ages this weekend.

How to model in general or is it something more specific?

Thank you very much for your kind words. I haven't had any bench time for quite some time but hopefully I will finish the base this fall.

Thank you! That is very nice of you to say that.

Good luck with the build, I'd love to see it when you are finished.

Thank you sir!

Thank you very much, sir!

Thank you very much, sir. I am nearing completion on the diorama, just waiting for a couple of items to arrive.
