SPA Modeler

Cool! I knew the interior needed something but I didn't know what until I remembered that I had three of those Nova kits in the stash for a number of reasons and this was one of 'em. This interior is so bare that it needed a console to help add that extra "punch" and it fits perfectly in ...

Looking forward to seeing you building again Johnny. Glad to see you back in the communities bro.

Thanks fellas. I can't remember where Donn was from Bruce but I'll have a look. He was an exceptional auto modeler and is greatly missed. Speaking of interiors, I've managed to start Car #1's interior. We'll be going with black on this one. I started by painting everything in there in flat black, th...

Jeez man.......you're putting more detail in this 1/48 scale version than I did my 1/24th scale version. Incredible work bud.

I'll be right here, and there, watching brother. Coming together swell so far.

My first edition 190 met the hammer. Oh yeah... I was pissed and frustrated. Did get the newer Eduard version for same aircraft. [/quote] I hear ya Tom. There were a good number of folks who were more than perturbed at Eduard for the problems with that kit. I put a lot of time into studying the prob...

Got my car body mocked up on the chassis with the aluminum wheels and I'm really diggin' this color. In building the two cars, I just couldn't p...

I'm at a total loss for words on what I'm seeing here Greg. Masterclass stuff all the way around dude.

What a stunner!!

Your take on this small scale bird really takes the cake Martin. I can't get over the bright blue that the Russians used on the undersides of their aircraft. Almost looks like some of their cockpit colors. Very well built and painted bud.

Definitely hear what you're saying in regard to pushing the decals any further Remco and that's a good idea with the wash to make the colors on the decal match the tail.

Coming in on the tail end of this project but it's a good-looking build going on so far.
