Hi all,



I thought I had a great idea as to what I'd be doing with this pup, but I'm not really in the mood for all the PSR the idea would require......so for those of you I've told about my original idea, stay tuned! Because I shall tell you nothing! NOTHING!

:ar:

All I'll say is Argentina.


Cheers,

Zac

Hi all,

Argentina, huh? Yeah, that's kinda changed............


Anyhoo, all the cockpit components have now been painted and are ready to be desprued and cemented together. The cockpit looks like a bit of fun - nice 'n' detailed. Hey Brian - three piece seats!



You may be able to tell from the Humbrol filler on the wings what exactly I'll be doing with this lil honey. But I'm not telling! The only person in the whole world who I've told is Lana........and she will NOT tell you! Or else she will be punished   .



Now, is the object of Secret Santa to have fun? Because, if it is, then mission accomplished! ^_^  Thanks a billion, Stu!

Now, if you're lucky, I may post some post-PSR pics later on! B)

Cheers,

Zac

Don't do your SSGB as a Falklands GB...that's a conflict of interest !

That's some fine work there Zac! I give you credit...three-piece seats are a challenge for me. I'm totally stumped as to what you've got planned but I will enjoy watching the mystery unfold.

Hmmmm, methinks I spy some weathering coming on?

[K5054NZ]

Not quite.................you must think forwards, gentlemen, always forwards!


Sanding began today, looking good, I shall recommence sanding (after the putty has dried) in a few minutes. Then I may build the cockpit. We shall see..........


Updates as and when. I love Italeri!

Cheers,

Zac

Glad it is going together so well.

Well I have some ideas about the Beaver. I dont'y know why but that name always makes me laugh.

All I can say is that my goal is to modify it in such a way that nobody will suspect what it was.

Hopefully I wil have some work done on it in the next couple of weeks.

Well I have some ideas about the Beaver. All I can say is that my goal is to modify it in such a way that nobody will suspect what it was.

My original plan with the DHC.2 was a turboprop-powered ex-army version flying with a St Stephens skydiving club. However, I thought I'd better pass it on before I got into another crazy re-engining attempt.

It's an understatement to say that I'm looking forward to your build! I'm just DYING to see it!

Cheers,

Zac

Skywarrior for Argentina... that's brilliant!

Hi all,

I finally got my A into G and got the cockpit together and the fuse all in one piece. A ton more sanding to go before I even contemplate affixing the wings and painting!



I have the backstory done, rather miniscule compared to some of my efforts (witness the 16-page Kittiwake Saga!) but it'll do. More pics as she slowly progresses. June, huh? I'd be lucky!  

Cheers,

Zac

PS - She's Soviet now rather than Argie, and she won't quite be the Destroyer we all know and love............  - ZY

Nice shot there, Zac-o-matic! I always enjoy your detailing on those 'pits. Your detailing is absolutely top-shelf!

[John Howling Mouse]

Coming along very nicely.

Go Zac Go!

That should be a smart looking Warrior, looking forward to the paint too.
