What's on your work bench atm ?

Wonderful two examples of excellence in building, gents! As an aside the threads with multiple participants and multiple projects are a fascinating window into the process by comparison, creating questions of choice as well. In this case I see the positive results of your fettling, Stuart, and the PPP you’ve used on the wing gap as well; very neat; very tidy; photographed well on a true aircraft stand! Makes me feel like a Neanderthal builder in some ways! And Chris, I came here because you wrote in your F-14 thread to come visit here so I did. It is very interesting to see an A/B experiment in techniques. What strikes most since I’ve never built an F-14 is how the subject choice itself determines the depth of modeling approach; both projects are built to a higher standard as a result! Bravo!

Thanks Bruce - well see what the doors look like with some paint on.

Two Monogram F-14A's
The one at the top has been in prog for a couple years longer than the one at the bottom. The masking I did on the exhaust needs re-done at this point. That's called negative modeling.
The one at the bottom is my current project.

I reckon you should get both those done Chris.

Soooo - I needed to be in the kitchen for an hour or so today whilst I did a bit of baking, and needed something to do while I waited for stuff to rise etc.- not wanted to bring my Spitfire downstairs to the kitchen table I had a nose in the stash, and this kind of happened... I blame Chris.

I suppose I'd better paint it...



Cheers!

A cracking start, Stuart! Would you start a separate build thread? I will follow you!

[Stuart]

Um... if I can actually do a decent job of the cockpit paint and it becomes more than just a tinkering side project, I will indeed do one

[BlackSheep214]

Yeah.. my cockpit painting is mid average at best - especially the dials on instrument panels

Making some progress on the P-39 - canopy masked, everything primed and I've painted the light grey undersides.





On to the green next - it's such a cool looking aircraft this, I'm looking forward to getting it finished.

Cheers!

Looks really good. No time till paint now. I have one of these in the stash for what seems like forever and I really need to kick it to the front.
