allyby Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 (edited) Hi Folks. Usual story about building Airfix kits as a youngster and always wanted to return to the hobby but never had the time, so my daughter pushed me a bit and for Christmas bought me a 1/24 Spitfire as a pressie. Now I felt this was a bit daunting after all those years away from the hobby so I decided to buy the Focke Wulf 1/72 starter kit just to try and get some practice in, finished that then started a ME 109E from the 1/48 Dogfight Doubles set, It came out not too bad but a lot's changed since I last built models such as weathering the subject. Now on to my 3rd build which is the Spitfire from the doubles set again a 1/48 scale, done most of the work with just props, wheels, and canopy to add but I'm currently in the process of trying to weather it at the moment so wish me luck. Now also trying to add my pic to my Avatar. Happy modelling. Ally.. Test pic of my ME109. Edited February 12, 2017 by allyby 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug Rogers Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Hi there Ally, welcome to Britmodeller. Can't see the pics at the moment as the Internet Nazis at work block them, good luck with the big Spit, builds into a great looking model with some TLC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
