For your viewing pleasure I present a "semi-whiffer" Dutch Firefly FB(T)Mk.V. I did not have the parts for a Dutch trainer or target tug, but I thought the yellow paint and the Dutch markings were made for each other. Ergo, a fighter trainer/utility hack is what I had in mind. The model was built OOB and brush painted freehand, including the canopy frames. The paint is Xtracolor RLM Gelb(yellow). The markings are pure scrapbox. It certainly adds a pop of color to my shelves. Total build and paint time was 6 hours. It was the perfect project for a lazy Sunday afternoon. Photographed via i-Phone. Adios, Larry.

On the bench Air Lines(FROG) JU.88, Magister, Mitchell, & Vimy bomber, AV USK Rogozarsi IK.3, Toko Sopwith Salamander, MPC/Airfix Saunders-Roe Sr.53 Skyrocket F.Mk2.

Field Artillery brings dignity to what otherwise might be merely a vulgar brawl.

I like Quickie-builds. I can build them OOB as what's in the box is enough detail. - Larry Schmidt on Jul 18, 2012, 8:29 PM

HyperScale's Group Build Guidelines

The objective of this Group Build is to encourage as many modellers as possible to build their kits and share their progress via words and photos on this Forum.

You are welcome to post general construction tips or relevant reference information and photos to this Forum too.

This Group Build will feature Airfix, Frog and Matchbox kits.

Build as many kits as you like

Conversions, aftermarket and scratchbuilding are all permitted.

Any markings are acceptable.

Document your progress and do a write-up on your build - where did you have trouble, what improvements did you make, what markings did you choose and why? It would be GREAT if everyone would do a writeup and submit it to HyperScale as a Feature Article.
