I started lots of kits during last two years and some i totally forget to put in wip :bag:
Heres a single thread for some of them that have similar specifics :)

Withouth post all sprues here i add the gallery link for each subject

in order of start

Loocked Hudson Italeri, but MPM sprues inside

And the last, started fwe days ago
Dornier Do-17Z airfix new tool

All the four kits have a good or excellent level of details, so they will basically OOB

First the Hudson works:

Inner subassemblies, heres only added rudder pedals and engines throttles with stretched sprue

Image

Image

Image

Image


Image


Wings tail pieces

Image

greened the clear parts , probably wrong green (acrilics.. all things goes better if i used my usual 78 humbrol interior green :blush: )

Image

Inner fuselage pieces painted

Image

Image

Image

Image

Belts added with masking tape strips

Image

Windows on (this plane is not compatible with linux :giggles: )

Image

The various subassemblies in place

Image

Image

Image

Image

Color retouch to the floor

Image

Not so easy to put on all pieces, it's a mpm not an hasegawa :hmm:

Fuselage glued , notice the white piece on the tail, he keep the right distance in the place to avoid gaps with the horizontal rudders

Image

Tail and turret cover on

Image

Wings in place. At this point i modified lots of times the wings angle and removed the kit spar that was more a problem than an help for the correct alignment of wings :Beaver:

Image

Image

After long sessions of putty, sanding and rescribe of panel lines and actually in the humbrol paint section :)

Blenheim for second

I lost some wip picture, for a while i build the blenheim with same session of the hudson

Some subassemblies and putty where needed

Image

Image

Image

Same inner paint used for the hudson

Image

The cockpit in place

Image

Image

Fuselage and wings goes good between them

Image

Image

I tried to not follow instructions and glued the nose to the fuselage before fuselage and wings assembly as instructions said but no good idea was

Image

At the end all goes toghether in some way (with a little help of stanley heavy cutter )

Image

Image

In the humbrol sector i decided to remove inner color from flaps housing and a first layer of sky humbrol 23 was done

Image

That's all for now, at the next :)

The Blenheim is going together quickly! I’m really liking that so far. Is that on of Airfix’s new tool kits?

Between Fermis’ six Zerstorers and your four twins here, I am feeling like a true underachiever/slacker here...
