Fill 'n Sand: Airbrushed prop blur discs.
http://fillnsand.blogspot.com/2011/06/prop-blur-discs.html
My kind of plastic fun. Saturday, 18 June 2011. Airbrushed prop blur discs. I like aircraft models in flight, and I like representing the spinning prop, like in the war comics I grew up reading. So here is how I make mine. I use a mask/template and then airbrush the blur on to a clear plastic disc. I tried freehand masking but the edges of the blur did not look sharp enough. So after buying a circle cutter I set out to make the mask/template. Blur section cut out. First blade blur done, and second started.

My kind of plastic fun. Saturday, 29 September 2012. Fujimi 1/72 P-47 Thunderbolt - painting. Well I didn't leave the primer long enough to dry and had some scrape off, so I sanded it back and tried airbrushing it on. Gace it a good few days, then sprayed some white for the yellow, and invasion stripes, sprayed the yellow, and left for a couple of days. Masked up for the black today, and tonight sprayed the black and olive drab. Tuesday, 11 September 2012. Then had a play with some Vallejo primer. Well I...

http://fillnsand.blogspot.com/2012/05/hobby-boss-172-me-262-decals-and-done.html
My kind of plastic fun. Wednesday, 2 May 2012. Hobby Boss - 1/72 Me 262 - decals and done. Decals went on well, apart from the trailing edge walkways ones, which kept on folding up, and the fuselage stripe, whose edges shattered, so I replaced it with a Revell Me 262 one. Well what can I say. it's the first time I have built one of these easy assembly kits and I am a convert, what fun, crisp mouldings, go together well with a little fettling, and plenty of room to modify them, very enjoyable. I have been...

My kind of plastic fun. Saturday, 12 January 2013. Italeri 1/72 Apache AH-64D Longbow dual build. Wow, how the time whizzes by, before you know it it's a the next year. Not been doing much modelling, waay too hot and lots of other busy things to do. But I did build a couple of Italeri Apaches for the UAMF Chopper Group build. There was a couple of other Italeri Apaches built as well, and I think the consensus was the kit needs a bit of work. Ah well both good fun, and glad to have them on the shelf.

My kind of plastic fun. Wednesday, 29 August 2012. Fujimi 1/72 P-47 Thunderbolt - Undercart and wingies. Have made new undercart doors, and cemented the wing upper halves to the fuselage, as after a bit of dry fitting there was huge gaps at the wing roots. A bit of tiding up of the cowl flaps and rudder hinge line as well. Tuesday, 28 August 2012. Fujimi 1/72 P-47 Thunderbolt. I like the box art scheme, flying skull, crossbones and eagle, awesome, but it's not the scheme included,. HV A in white codes.
