ICM 1/35 Model T 1917 Ambulance (early)

I got this the other day from ICM in the Ukraine so that I could do a build review for The Modelling News; Today I made a start on it even though I have five other things on the go; This was after only a couple of hours work, any seam lines such as those

The things you find…

I was looking at a kit of an RC-135V that I have in the stash to see what engines were included in the kit as it has been years since I last opened the box; What I DID find was a Hasegawa 1/72 F-104G Starfighter that I had been looking for a few months ago

Fujimi and Hobbyboss 1/72 A-7 Corsair II’s

I finally got the decals on this week and today I put a dark brown pin wash on both models to bring out the detail; I wasn’t too happy with the quality of the Superscale decals as the white on the drop-shadow LV tailcode and 4450 TG number was poorly printed. I did have a

Hobbyboss 1/72 A-7K Corsair II

I got the decals on the two-seater this evening and they went on very well with no issues considering the age of the two Microscale sheets I used; As you can see it actually took decals from four sheets to finally get this particular aircraft, the Microscale sheets provided the numbers and stencils, the Airdoc

That the gear bays, gear bay doors, landing gear, wheels and avionics bays sprayed and the masking removed. For a change I didn’t get any overspray on other parts of the models that didn’t have masking tape either; Now I can get on with putting the decals on and with a bit of luck get

While I’m waiting for the filler to set on the Revell Dornier 28, I masked off the wheel wells and gear bay doors on both A-7’s (along with both open avionics bays on the Hobbyboss A-7K). The wheel centres, gear, gear bays and doors will all be sprayed white, the avionic bays and doors on

Revell 1/72 Dornier Do28D-2

The fuselage has been glued together and most of the extra work in the cabin is now hidden but at least I know it’s there lol. As you can see, the fuselage required a lot of filler for as well as the poor fuselage joint there are sink marks in four places so that will

I think that will do for painting the cockpit and cabin, I just need to stick the cabin windows in then I can get the fuselage closed up; The kit decal for the instrument doesn’t look that bad really and for what you will be able to see through the windscreen it’s enough…in fact for

Revell 1/72 Dornier Do28D-2

I’ve finished scratchbuilding the cockpit and cabin as with the cabin doors shut you won’t see much of the inside once it is painted; Although I lined the inside of the fuselage with 0.005thou plastic sheet, I also made a partial roof for the cabin to hide where the wings fit. What very few interior

Gawwwd this is basic….anyhow I’ve made a new instrument panel and centre console as the kit supplied items are dismal; After some work tonight, this is where I’m at so far; Because of the holes in the fuselage where the wings and engine pods locate, I decided to line the insides with 0.005thou (0.35mm) plastic
