Such a pity they went out of business and the molds where destroyed. I would have wanted one of these.

But u can find it sometimes on Ebay. But as comon for their kits you need to invest a lot of work.
And Merry Christmas to all of you.

The Spitfire MK. I was finished just in time for the RAF competition at Fligzeugforum.de on 30th of December.
The little Convair will be the first finish 2019.
Happy New Year to all of you and thanks for following.

The end result of the Convair is great as well as the Spitfire.
Did you get some special recognition of it at the competition ?

Thank you Kari.
The voting at the competition is ongoing but it seems I won't finish in the top ten. 21 finished models in that competition and currently I am somewhere position 15.
Doesn't matter, it is my maximum I could achieve with this kit and I am really happy as I see an performance improvement since 1992 when I have done exactly this kit too

All of these are great. The finish you’ve achieved on both aircraft is lovely in an aesthetic sense, and quite realistic too.
Of particular interest to me is this here:
The manner in which you weathered the wings where the guns are. Specifically the streaks. To me they look perfect, and quite real and to me that’s what pushes it over the cliff. I know this is a small detail, and in my opinion this finished piece is absolutely greater than the sum of its parts. But that streaking is well executed and the way you’ve done it impresses me. I’m been working on that on my Emil for the past two evenings and haven’t gotten a result that I’ve been pleased with yet. My results so far have been wiped off due to looking unrealistic. Such little details like that, when well-executed, give the model that much more realism. And lately I’ve been struggling with those little details. You executed this whole model beautifully right down to those small details. Nice work!
