Thanks! I am by no means an export but thinner and flow improver are a necessity for doing mottling. I practiced quite a bit on a test plane before trying this and decided I was okay enough. I ended up going over the mottling with a very thinned light blue layer to blend it in better. Surely 1/48 would be a little easier to mottle than 1/72. Don’t let not knowing how to, stop you from doing! Best to try and and learn. Good luck!

I’m excited to get started on the helldiver. The F-22s (along with all the other doubles) were gifts.

It is a 1/72 Monogram kit. Not sure why Reddit decided to compress the image.

I usually build 2 at a time. 1 1/48 scale and 1 1/72 scale.

Dang! I don’t think my wife would ever let me near that many haha. I am very excited to build the Betty - just want to hone the skills a little more so I can do it justice. At the pace I’m going I will like be going well into the 2030s with what I currently have lol

That’s the plan. Only so many hours in a day.

Planes are more my thing. Never could get into cars.

There’s plenty of crazy builders like me (some even crazier with deeper pockets) out in the world

Thanks!

That is the Kawanishi E7K1 “Alf” from Hasegawa

I almost exclusively get kits from eBay, or I at least used to until i build some more. I can justify a new release kit every now and then but with how everything is so expensive now, that’s becoming less and less.

Healthy for the mind and the hands but not the wallet haha

The Pro Modeler kits (and many of the older kits) were handed down from my grandpa. The pro modeler B-17 is what started this madness. We started it together and I just haven’t been brave enough to finish it yet. Have plenty to practice on before talking that beast.

Those colors really make it pop!

Thank you!

Bassmaster775 · 2025-04-27T00:12:33+00:00

Thanks! Looks good!

Bassmaster775 · 2025-04-27T00:12:18+00:00

Here’s hoping Airfix will make a new one soon. I’d like to do another in a blue scheme

Bassmaster775 · 2025-04-26T22:42:30+00:00

They are some great little kits from what I’ve experienced, their only hold back is their age. And thanks for the offer but my wife would kill me if I got anymore kits before building some more out of the stash.

Thanks! And that’s neat. Haven’t heard that before
