    Hello!

    Hi Nightwing and welcome aboard. What's your modelling poison - vehicles, armour, aircraft??
  3. I'll take the King's shilling on this one, sign me up please.
  4. Great progress, looks unusual with the RPs. Will be fantastic when the markings go on.

    Hi, I've bought one of these for the 48th Boston I'm attempting in a current GB. I've never used these before and assumed they were peel off items - is that correct as mine do not want to come off. Can anyone educate me in the finer points of these things. I need to get it right as there's no instructions in the pack and an awful lot of glazing on a Boston!
  8. Hi MM, if all goes according to plan, I fancy a European intruder in grey/green/night undersides, failing that then something deserty!
  9. OK, so we are just over a week in and a suitable candidate has been selected. I had several options open to me and after much humming and ha-ing I chose this, more on looks alone than anything else: In 48th she's big and impressive and just the sort of thing to keep me busy. With that said I made a start with the usual internal painting and small assemblies Spruced up the cockpit with the Yahu IP, it gives my lack-lustre talent a leg up and makes all the difference: A little bit of paint in the rear crew compartment: Finally the seats and belts were added: Started to put a little detail in the nose compartment as it is noticeably bare and quite visible. As I couldn't find a decent picture this is just guess work! As the kit part on my kit is little more than an amorphous blob of plastic, I will try to fashion a bomb-sight that looks a little better, and I think we should have the fuselage join by the next installment. More later folks.....
  10. Put me down too. Now to find a manageable sized kit.
  11. Love this release and I'm hoping that Airfix are testing the water for future interwar releases. It is an area ripe with possible releases.
  12. Just putting a place holder here as I'd like to join in. Will be rummaging through the stash later for a suitable candidate.
  13. Camera / test equipment installation perhaps?
  14. Welcome aboard Willie, great to have you here.
  15. Lots of great insights and advice there which I'm very grateful for. Having a weekend away so will put all this to good use when I return.
  16. Hi ckw, they were both builds I started for GB's. First was a Classic Airframes Vampire NF10. The kit had a fit where it touches vibe, parts would not line up, and to cap it off the radome was smaller diameter-wise than the fuselage. Second kit was Airfix Hawker Sea Fury. It assembled OK but seemed "under tension". My guess proved right when I tried to put the wing centre section on and it literally sprang apart. That was it, I walked away and four months later I went into the den to clear the bits (that was yesterday). May search through the stash later to see if anything takes my fancy.
  17. I've been absent on here for quite some time now. After a couple of bad turns with the last two kits, I just walked away from the bench. I'm now looking at going back but just wondering how to approach that. Should I try to take up where I left off and possibly sicken myself again or should I start afresh with something else and see how that goes? I've never walked away for this long before so would appreciate any suggestions.
  18. Welcome aboard K0ala, good to have you here. I'm a brush painter too (with mixed results 😄
