Lynx
Got all the rotor blades mounted last week sometime, not easy, had to mount to hub and brackets at same time, without letting the glue dry as some had to be moved a bit
Gary showed me how to wash on Thursday night so did a little bit, not sure if I'm a huge fan but will see how other models go.
Dullcote was applied yesterday and then removed the masks from windows, mask from underside light and added the windscreen wipers.
I rank this kit as my second favourite model I've built.

That's a stunner Hadley, I really should try a whirly bird but I'm having modelling mojo issues at the moment, largely due to the cave being upstairs on the side of the house that gets full sun so is a sauna a lot of the time. It does have a lot of fans and an extractor to hopefully fight that now. and the workbench is super tidy on the upside.
I'll just sit back in the shade and watch the fantastic work on KM

Here's what I"m working on, this is trumpeter's 1/3 scale M4 Carbine:
And here it is so far:
I've added and refined quite a few details (easily seen as the white plastic card). The vertical foregrip and the AN/PEQ-2A are actually from their M16A4 kit that I picked up for these parts. I'll build that seperately once HLJ send me the missing lower receiver sprues.
The PEQ-2 still needs it's ARMS-17 mount scratch built as the kit mount is a bit imaginative.
Painting will be interesting, it is all black, but in reality is a whole lot of different dark greys and different finishes. There's black plastic furniture, anodised aluminium parts, powder coated steel and phosphated steel.

OK I'll put it to one side for you. I'm in Lower Hutt but am happy to hold it for a while. My next road trip north through the dizzie heights of T.A..or Hamilton is not likely to be until the Armistice show but I'm a very patient person.

Picked up these two new Hasegawa Egg Planes from the Hobby Stop in Wellington over the weekend. They'll make a good modelling interlude and get me back into the building frame.

They have most of the range as they are the "Hasegawa Distributor for NZ" so let me know which ones you're keen on!

In Soviet Russia, Iron Curtain GB builds you!
People look at me funny when I say I own "Fifty shades of Grey". FS36118, FS36270, FS36375.....

The Hobby Stop does have a website but it seems it isn't working at the moment. I've ordered stuff online from them before and if they don't have it on the site, flick them an email and if they stock it they can add it in. Might be best to contact them through their facebook page at the moment,

or

Hadley; do you want me to organise an osprey for you if I see one there tomorrow?
I figure they are just fun to build, if they have the Skyhawk I'll enter with that
