  1. Wow that s a great result , weathered to perfection.
  2. A good start , i have pulled up my arm chair , stuck some shag in my pipe and will be watching with interest.
  3. Looks good to me Neil , super job . 👍
  4. Oh i say , that is rather lovely , i must get one soon . 👍
  5. I feel your pain ☚ī¸ however all is not lost , i would start by removing all the decals and clear parts, then prime the model with grey car primer , rub down with a sanding stick or fine wet and dry paper , then repaint , It may be possible to obtain a replacement decal sheet from Airfix or if the kit is out of production there are other sheets available . After all your hard work its worth saving. 👍
  6. Great looking Spitfire in a welcome change from RAF markings , one nit pick tho , the crow bars were never Red on wartime aircraft , only restored aircraft have Red crowbars for safety reasons.
  7. Nice project , did the same thing with the 1.48th Airfix Hurricane using the MDC Resin wings ( which now droop downwards ) Not sure about the wing profile which may be different from production aircraft , i do recall there is no strake under the rear fuselage , canopy is different , undercarriage doors have a different shape and the nose profile may need a tweek , no doubt there may be other things as well which i have missed but which others here will know more about. hope this helps a bit. 👍
  8. Wow, considering you have been off the radar for 40 years that s a very impressive comeback . your skills looks fresh as a daisy to me.
  9. I have recently been given the Airfix 1.24th scale ME 109E by my brother as a birthday gift ( Vintage Classics boxing ) . The last time i built a German fighter was the original 1.72nd scale kit which came in a poly bag from Woolworths 50 + years ago. over the years i have built the Hurricane and Spitfire but never the ME 109 so my knowledge of the pros and cons of this kit is limited so a little guidance would be helpful . cheers K.
  10. Lovely job Jes , never seen that scheme before , that shark mouth really suites the Blenheim nose . 👍
  11. Wow , that s a great job 👍 i can see why those Arma Hurricanes are getting great reviews , looks spot on to me..
  12. Rule 1 Never throw anything away , just goes to show what can be done with an old kit .
  13. Very good result , nice clean build . 👍
  14. Wow , you have nailed that one Steve , i like the nod to the original Airfix kit , looks good in those markings .
