  1. Greetings! Another old Airfix kit - this time the Boeing 314 Pan Am Clipper - a beautiful machine, but an epic styrene struggle! Many thanks for having a look. Questions and comments always welcome! Bill From the Wilds of the Inland Empire . . . . .
  2. Greetings! Another old Airfix kit - this time the classic JU52. Out of the box build with a few minor enhancements. Poor fit in many areas, especially landing gear! Maybe I should have done the float plane version. Decals were the most challenging part of this build - the corrugated surfaces are not very decal friendly. Kit decals were very old and unusable, so I used the PrintScale set 72-075 which finally worked with repeated applications of decal solution. Paint scheme is from the PrintScale decal painting guide. I think the actual machine may have had a splinter pattern? Had a mental lapse and forgot to mask the side windows before spraying clear flat coat so they are a bit fuzzy looking! Many thanks for having a look, comments and questions always welcome. Bill
  3. In theory this will be a simple build from a gift set bought in Lidl for £4 earlier this year. It's only got 19 parts and has the paint needed, as well as a simple paint brush. There are only a few parts but there will be a bit of cleaning up done. Simple one page of instructions. And an absolutely georgeous transfer sheet including a multicoloured one for the transom. And a bag of paints and cement. All you need need to make an Airfix classic. So off we go.
  4. Airfix -1/72nd scale U2 Very old, unusual and a bit dusty
  5. Also finished this weekend is the Blenheim from the old Airfix kit I had started parallel to the HUMA Ju 288. I enjoyed the built a lot. I especially like the rivet detail which is very rich and subtle at the same time. The Airfix decals were quite good to work with and had no major issues with the raised detail. Only issue was with the side windows of the canopy which didn't fit well and yielded a pear shaped result. Colours are Revell Aqua Color, Vallejo Model Air and Revell enamel. The display stand is from Academy. A pretty good product.
