    Fantastic Nimrod! Coincidentally I picked up this kit at Telford yesterday on impulse and it’s currently getting some attention on the workbench. You’ve set the bar high and I’d be happy to get anywhere near that finish. Any issues with the build itself?
  2. Plasticbasher
    Excellent! Got the FB-111A in my stash, might have to move it up the pile.
  3. Plasticbasher
    Can’t see anything wrong with that! Nice scheme, excellent finish and a great recovery from the ordeal by decal!
  4. Plasticbasher
    That’s pretty good to my eyes, I’d be proud to have that Hawk on my shelf!
  5. Plasticbasher
    Very nice, great finish!

    Klear sprays fine, no need to dilute but keep the air pressure low. In terms of cleaning, any brand of airbrush thinner will clean it out well in my experience. To stop the residue from the putty you could try a light coat of klear between colours, being glossy it is less likely to be affected than a matt finish. As you mentioned letting the surface dry properly is important. I’ve had issues with residue from white tac, much less so with the Mig stuff although it doesn’t stay in place as easily.

    Welcome back and you’re certainly back with a quality result there!

    Superb, you have really captured the look and feel of the real thing. Respect to you for a fantastic diorama, I’m tempted to have a go myself!

    That looks stunning! The engine especially really stands out, fantastic work. I have one in my to do pile, fond memories of AEF as a cadet out of RAF Newton. The flights were great, waddling out to the chippy strapped to a parachute was less fun. Anyone remember the flight safety film they showed?

    Excellent! I’ve just finished the Italeri Hawk in the grey air defence scheme but yours is a stunner.
  11. Plasticbasher
    Looks really smart Keith, and from such an ancient conversion set! Excellent work.

    Beautiful and a real reminder of building it in my youth though not to your standard. There’s something about those Matchbox kits !
  13. Plasticbasher
    Magnificent, both the model and the photos- you make it look real!
  14. Plasticbasher
    A masterpiece! Well done, one of the best British spooks I have seen!

    Superb, I too remember this old girl by the A1, not exactly where though!! This is a nice tribute to a fading star, glad t9 hear she may rise again. There was also a Lightning displayed off the A30 somewhere Bodmin way I think?? Wonder what happened to that one. i didn’t know about the one at Wheelgate Park (Hallam/Southwell) in Nottinghamshire although I do recall seeing a hurricane replica there.
