  1. I think the key is getting the fuselage together. I needed to trim a fair bit of the control panel to get a nice fit and the way the bulkhead/exhaust assembly goes together doesn't make life easy either. Patience and perseverance the key I think.
  2. Thanks for all the comments, really appreciated. Will leave the tank colour alone, but may just finish with an atenna just to set off the kit.
  3. No, Tamiya paints. All guess work though, just used what I had at hand. Thanks Adam.
  4. Pleased to get this finished. Was wanting a cleaner finish but bearing in mind I lost my sight part way through the build thanks to a new chemo drug I'm on I should be happy its done! Not posted for a while due concentrating on health but good to make a return. Colour of tank bugging me a bit so may redo.
  5. Great shots Shaun. Any idea what the marks on the intake of the Gripen are (just above the danger sign)?
  6. All great shots Shaun. Thanks for sharing.
  7. Worth the wait. Nice pics. Really like the Swiss Tiger & Mig 29.
  8. They look tiny as well. Should move them in a bit and make them larger!
  9. Great shots. Particularly like the inverted formation of the Red Arrows. Would make a great contrasty mono shot as well. Nice work John.
  10. Thanks Tony. Not sure on paratroopers, I suspect not, I believe the whole project is behind schedule due to serious 'teething' issues early on. From what I've seen, it looks awesome, handles great and the sound is just amazing.
  11. Thanks Trevor, friend of mine is a Herc pilot. He reckons 2022 for phase out, I think it had been extended from 2018 or 2020?
  12. Some shots I've taken since the A400M got low level clearance. Various locations in Wales. She's now cleared for 150ft I believe. Hope they're of interest, she's an amazing sight, and the way she's thrown about is simply amazing. I'll be sad to see the Herc go, but I think this is a fitting replacement. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.
  13. Excellent shots. Miss these in the UK, used to see them when i was a teen as I lived near Manston and they seemed to be fairly regular visitors.
  14. Tidy shot John. I live Kirkham, but I'm usually on holiday when the show is on. I was in Wales and the Reds routed up the coast (the weekend before the show), I climbed 500 ft up a hill to find I'd left my battery on charge back at home, fortunately they were a no show!
  15. Yes, was just before RIAT. I'm not a massive expert when it comes to ordinance, but I think you are right.
