After finishing a literally a decade old project and two other long standing ones, I rewarded myself with the start of a new build that looks pretty straightforward on first glance. It will be built out of the box (which sounds a bit funny referring to a resin based multimedia kit 😉 )

The plane was originally build by Miles in the thirties and a handful survived into the present day. I think that the clean lines and surfaces of this plywood coated beauty are emphasized best by a civilian livery. Quite a few pictures can be found on the net of this - obviously quite recently - restored little plane in speckless attire.

So, off we go.

Good work so far (I must say I am happy to have few SBS model models in my stash - looks like they are very modeller-friendly ones)

Really nice. That blue livery looks v.tempting to me

Hi Alex and Lukasz, welcome.
@ Robert: This is my first experience with a SBS Mdodel-kit and it builds very easily. So I suppose you will have fun with your kits too.
@Lukasz: it certainly is tempting - even if I decided to build the silver one.

Oh, I guess due to my trip I overlooked this. What a beauty 👍
What have you used as silver/metal paint?
I think you can improve the stickiness of the HGW rivets with the blue cap Gunze Mark Setter. After Eduard recommends it if you want to remove the carrier I used it also with good results on HGW 3D rib tapes. It looks like the blue cap contains some glue like white glue, which helps.

Thank you guys for the nice feedback.
I think so too, that this is a nice plane in a lovely livery. And SBS Models did a very nice kit of it. If you are new to resin and want to give it a try this is a kit you might consider.

@bughunter: thanks for the advice on the HGW rivet decals. I'll give it a try.
The colors used on this build are Alclad II. The whole plane is painted Speed Silver and the canopy frame received Airframe Aluminum. Both spray extremely fine. But watch out to spray very thin coats. Otherwise the thinner will redissolve the (Alclad) primer.

Very nicely done Michael 👍

bughunter
Thanks Michael!
I have many shades of Alclad on my shelf, but the existence of High Speed Silver has somehow passed me by.
15 June 2023, 08:21
Michael Kohl
Thanks Alec.
Frank, I stumbled over this shade just by chance. I think it is rather new too.

Perfect job, Michael!

23 June 2023, 22:37
Michael Kohl
Thanks Neuling and Eduardo for your nice comments.
@Eduardo: I am surprised that I couldn't find it either. Let's hope they reissue it.
25 June 2023, 05:22
Eduardo Arguijo
But its supposed to be a 2023 new tool
25 June 2023, 13:40
Michael Kohl
Absolutely. I suppose they have underestimated the demand or have a bug in their homepage. Maybe just send them a short mail.

And thank you mates for a handful of likes.

@bughunter: go ahead, I have some spares to replant. 🙂
@ MS K: nice to hear for that's what I was aiming for. It was a learning curve but now I have some tweaks and come closer to the desired effect.

Michael Kohl
Thank you mates. Your comments lift me up.
@Lukasz: which one? The black and white one I suppose. Lovely note, that he reminds you of your companion.
@Neuling: the biggest of praises. 🙂 I am really flattered - not least as it comes from somebody who fooled quite a few here with his models and their presentation who mistook them for the real thing.

Album info

A beautiful resin based multimedia-kit. I was sold when I opened the package and so was the kit soon after.
Never have heard of that plane before I saw the kit at SBS Models stand at the Modelling Convention in Moson
Let's see if this builds into a Tamiya-like resin kit as I expect it to.
