Sven SchönyanA fixed wing gem is approaching! I´ll keep an I on it. Maybe I can borrow some techniques for my 1/48 build.

James SkalickyI've been wanting to do an Intruder for a long time. I'm pulling up a chair for this one!

Ronan АуторThanks, mates👍
@istvan : the interior is scratch built, the Seats are from Pavla
31 January 2020, 12:08
Juergen Klinglhuberthe scratched cockpit details look great. will watch closely

Bernhard SchrockDetailing of the nose landing gear would be more than enough for quarter scale!! Top work!

Ronan АуторMany thanks, mates 👍
When i start detailing a part it's very difficult to stop 😄
3 February 2020, 20:20
Sergej IYou made a mistake in project description Ronan, this is obviously a 1/32 scale with them details... 🙂
3 February 2020, 23:26
Łukasz GlińskiI have the same feeling as Don, I box back all the Ronan's subjects 😄
4 February 2020, 12:10
DanielI am currently working on my 1 32 hornet landing gear...but after seeing this...back to the drawing board😉 really outstanding work!!

AugustoThere is an A-6 on my stash and this build is definitely going to be a reference! *grabs a chair...
4 February 2020, 18:56
Mirko RömerThere's a Fujimi Intruder waiting for further detailing on my desktop, so it's quite inspiring work we get to see here from Ronan! I think, I'm going to wait for Augusto! 🙂

Bart GoesaertThe master of detail is again at it... I'm in, although a bit late
5 February 2020, 15:30
PierreMais ça avance bien vite ici ! Comment colles-tu le cuivre aussi proprement ? Je passe mon temps à faire des gros pâtés de CA 🙁

Ronan АуторPour que la cyano adhère facilement il suffit de poncer légèrement ton fil.
Petite astuce simple qui va te changer la vie😉
La cyano a du mal à prendre sur les surfaces lisses, et colle très bien les surfaces légèrement rugueuses comme les doigts. C'est pour ça qu'on s'en sert en médecine pour refermer les plaies ...

Spanjaardfantastic job so far Ronan (sure the rest will be as good or even better😉 )
8 February 2020, 23:01
Patrick HagelsteinLove to see all those tiny bits of plastic card all over. 😉

Bryn CrandellGlad I found this one. I have this kit and was curious what could be done to make it pop. Well my question has been answered. Great detail work. Gives me inspiration to tackle this kit. Again amazing work.
20 February 2020, 12:32
Sergej IDuring watching I thought that this kit looks extremely like a Tamiya, then I saw it is the same mould... mine wasn't half as nice 🙂 GJ Ronan 👍

Kerry COXThe 1/72 scale still amazes me and especially those who have the touch to make them look so good. 👍 😉
Well done. 🙂
8 March 2020, 22:03
Spanjaardyour attention to tiny details, and your technique in painting them, never cease to amaze me. i just love that cockpit
10 March 2020, 22:27
TreehuggerHow do you plan, when airbrushing around the masked windows?
I unfortunately tend to end up with too much paint and gloss coat, making the edges rough after removing the masking tape. I hope to become more disciplined and being very restrictive in how much paint and gloss coat I add over and around the edges of the masking tape.
14 March 2020, 13:08
Ronan АуторOn the masked areas you have to spray thin layers of paint , many layers if necessary but always thin.
If you have spray an hard layer, before removing masks, you can gently cut the paint with a scalpel around the masks : when it's done you can remove the masks without removing paint;
For a better result, always use a thin masking tape ( like tamiya )

Ferenc SarkaSuperb!l i just started renovation of an 20 years old intruder made by fujimi. The yours is the reference.
15 March 2020, 13:08
Juergen KlinglhuberAmazing 1/72 built. Congratulation for that beautiful Intruder.
16 March 2020, 11:36
Slavo HazuchaItaleri should send Ronan a life-long "ask for it - get it" check for doing this to one of their kits!😉
As ever, a pleasure to follow 👍
16 March 2020, 11:39
Michael PhillipsWow, this really coming along nicely, and is really amazing at 1/72... but then again, I would expect nothing less from you Ronan!
16 March 2020, 13:01
Ronan АуторMany thanks, mates.
the intruder is not complete yet, tomorrow i will add the latest details
16 March 2020, 21:03
Starbase101I see we have here another modeler who prefers to build full-scale and then zap with a shrinkgun down to...say, 1:72...and have everybody thinking it really was built as a scale model! Excellent ruse and it turned out amazing!
16 March 2020, 21:23
Ingmar StöhrRonan your builds are always inspiring to me! This will certainly be another gem!
16 March 2020, 22:09
William O.Woooo who! That came out amazing sir! I bow to you, o master modeller 😄.
16 March 2020, 23:09
DanielCant believe this is 1:72, all the detail, composition of Colours, simply stunning! 👍 👍 👍
17 March 2020, 11:43
Spanjaardanother Ronan masterpiece!
if you would say it is 1/48, it will still be amazing. begin 1/72, is truly out of this world
17 March 2020, 12:09
Slavo HazuchaRonan, you are a master of your trade... All the skills & tricks of a seasoned figure painter (shoelaces & holes on a 1/72 pilot, blimey..!) and you transfer them to working with tiny aircraft in a fashion that is truly unique! 👍 👍 👍
17 March 2020, 12:17
Ronan АуторMany thanks for your nice words 👍
I'm glad to see my models are appriciated
17 March 2020, 12:42
Ben SchumacherStunning result, absolutely excellent! Just one minor comment - your wing struts are too long, causing the wing tips being too far away from each other. Same problem as on the Italeri kit... anyway, gorgeous model, probably the best 1/72 Intruder I have seen so far!
17 March 2020, 13:24
Ronan Аутор@Ben : Yes , i've noticed that too, i will reduce the struts later😉 many thanks
17 March 2020, 16:04
Ronan АуторMany thanks everybody😉
I've modified the wing struts , our friend Ben should be satisfied ... 😄
It really changes the look of the aircraft 👍
17 March 2020, 17:54
Spanjaardyour models are NOT appreciated Ronan, y think most of us simply LOVE them 🙂 ... well, sometimes a bit love/hate relationship.... we hate them, because most of us will never make something as good as what you do😉.

Maciej BellosA W E S O M E ! ! ! ! A guide for my two Intruders whenever I get myself to build them.

Kerry COXI notice there is a "Thunderbird" logo on the fuselage. Is this of the same sqn that had B-17G's in WWII. ?
17 March 2020, 23:52
Ronan АуторMerci les amis 👍
@Kerry : i'm not a big specialist of squadrons' history ... Sorry, i don't know about the "thunderbird"
I just build models that look interesting for me😉
18 March 2020, 07:35
Kerry COXRonan, Please don't get me wrong, and I was not 'rivet counting' mate, I just wondered. 😉 👍
A superb build, no matter what the lipstick. 😉
18 March 2020, 09:18
PierreEncore mieux avec les ailes! 👍 Les pilotes sont de Fujimi ?
@Kerry Cox: It's apparently a black falcon rather than a thunderbird, seaforces.org/usnair/VA/Attack-Squadron-85.htm
18 March 2020, 09:23
Ben SchumacherPerfect, Ronan! Glad you shortened the wing struts. Congrats on an excellent model!
18 March 2020, 12:45
Bryn CrandellExcellent work. Great photos. The wing fold really makes this build pop. Well done!!!
18 March 2020, 14:32
Pitot VenturiAvec ce genre de montages, on comprend pourquoi le 72 est dite echelle des gentlemen !
Congratulation Sir !!!
18 March 2020, 15:10
