Paper and Card models / Re: Phonix DI

« Last post by NinetythirdLiberator on Today at 02:43:35 AM »

Sweet!  I have this model too and looks like a nice kit.  Can't wait to see your recolor.  Will you recolor with an airbrush or do you have the skills to do it digitally?  That's a skill I wish I had.

Welcome aboard!

Since this thread is about KP kits, I wanted to tap the hive mind:

How are their decals?

Congratulations William, this rejected author is so pleased to see this! Bravo! It looks like a terrific work and a great read.

I figure that if he can show me how to do something in 1/144th, then applying it to 1/72nd should be easier!!??

What a wonderful way to look at it!

Well, that's my way of looking at it at least.

I believe the KP Nieuport 11/16 are based on the old HR Model resin kits.
I will be able to check it in a while as the two Ni.11 kits are on their way to me.

That would be great, and i know I would really appreciate it.

Thank you for all your kind comments, guys.
Now I'd better get on with fulfilling the title part of this build - with Model Cellar's beautiful Billy Bishop figure.

It's a superb resin rendition and I'm not much of a figure painter, but here goes
(It may take some time!)

Rick,

I have no idea where the engine came from.  It was in plastic tray full of engines, probably from old Roden and Toko kits.  I found one that sorta fit and Dremeled it until it did.  It is heavlyly thinned, trimmed and otherwise abused until it fit.  This is a case where it would be easier to just glue the top of the engine supplied by Pegasus and walk away.  The results are almost exactly the same.  But can I do that?  Can any of us do that?  Of course not. 

I thank everyone for their comments.

The decals are on the wings and the interior is nearing completion.  Photos soon.

Thank you, all.
Despite the setbacks I did enjoy making an SE5 for a change - and, yes, a yellow one - phew!
