This article is a
tribute to ARC's contributors and especially to Steve Bamford for providing us
with the number one aircraft modelling site! Thank you! This is my
third model, finished almost 2 years ago, and the first one after reading Tools
'n' Tips section on ARC. It's the 1/48 Hasegawa P47D built OOB with kit
decals and brush painted with AeroMaster olive drab and Gunze neutral gray.
The goal was to make a clean build and to try many new techniques for me :

After brushing the
flat coat, I've noticed that the white ring on the engine cowling is not wide
enough ... too late! Actually, I don't like to do things twice and keeping the
mistakes is a good way to improve my skills!
Below is a pic of my workbench
made in a shoe chest. It contains all my tools and products, I can put the
little drawers on my table in 30 seconds to be ready to glue! The other
pic shows different supports made of computers wrapping and big electrical wire,
very useful for painting after gluing the tips in gear bay with blue-tac.
Happy modelling.
Patrick
