With the Female finished, it is time to start working on the next piece - Male variant. Specifically Hyacinth from Battle of Cambrai in November 1917:

The kit is super simple and very nicely detailed, the only adjustment to the resin parts has been predrilling holes for cannons and MGs:

And I can't wait to start cleaning the PE parts.

Cheers

I'm sure this is going to look as fantatic as the female variant.

Are you going to place it in a diorama as in the picture?

Many thanks for your nice comments, gentlemen, they are highly appreciated!

I would like to create a vignette corresponding with the photo, but I am not sure if this will be feasible - the tracks are partly missing on the lower side, where I had to cut the parts off. But perhaps I will be able to make it invisible using mud.

Yesterday I started gluing the PE parts in place, I was quite scared of it but eventually it went rather smoothly:

Cheers.

Hello everybody,

I am back!

Many thans for your nice comment, long time no see.

After a long break from scale modelling I decided to return my home town Jihlava and one of the first priorities was bringing my workbench back in order. This has been finally finished now and this the current status:

Even though you can see the WIP Sopwith Camel in the picture, I decided to start by continuing on the Mark IV in order to revive my modelling skills - Mark IV is more forgiving in case of mishaps than the Camel ready for assembly.

She is now assembled except for gun barrels which I will glue in place just before painting. All metal parts got a coat of Mr. Metal Primer and next up is Mr. Resin Primer.

Cheers

Ondra

We all need a break sometimes. Good to see you are back and this is looking like a lovely project, if rather small.....

Many thanks for your nice comment, Nigel! I can hardly describe how happy I am to be back.

Yesterday she got a coat of Mr. Surface Primer followed by a coat of Drooling Bulldog Zinc White.

This what she looks like after preshading, next up will be greyish-green and decals.
