Mike1's model thread.

Hi everyone,

 

Thought I'd post some examples of my handiwork, all in 1/72 scale:

 

Mitsubishi A6M2 Model 21, Hasegawa kit:

 

Curtiss P-40B Warhawk, new tool Airfix kit:

 

Lockheed Hudson Mk IV, Italeri/MPM kit (this was a pig to build!):

 

Supermarine Spitfire PR Mk IV, Tamiya Mk I conversion:

 

and

 

Brewster B339D, Hasegawa kit:

 

Finally here's something nautical:

 

HMS Fury, F class destroyer built from the Tamiya 1/700 E Class kit.

1/72... probably the best scale ever. I vote for the Warhawk as the first one.

Very nice work..the P-40 is really nice, i would like to add that trimming a bit the weels will make the model look more heavy so more realistic ,and i would like to ask how you manage to keep the canopy so clean and the supports on it so steadily painted, i used many products but non gave the desired result..thank you for posting these pics..and again really really nice work

[Mike1]

Thanks guys!

 

Vava, I used Eduard's canopy masks on all of them except the Spit. I'd thoroughly recommend using them if your able to source them locally. They make things much easier, especially with "greenhouse" canopies like on the Zero and the Buffalo.

Here's a PDF of the civilian aviation books that I've got. I'll update it whenever I get a new one

Good job.
