  1. Hi, Well this must a record for me two completed models in the space of a week, Spurred into action by another couple of build posted in WIP I had to start mine as well. So while working on the Mirage I made a start on this. No issues found at all with the build and construction was completed in a few days. Painted unsing Gunze Dark Earth and Green kit decals used as well. Only addition was the use of a Eduard Seat belt set. So here is number 6 for the year, Hawker Hurricane Mk1 As flown on the Airshow circuit by Peter Vacher Thanks for looking As usal comments welcome Rick G.

  2. Hi chaps, I thought I'd show some recent finishes completed for a Spitfire-related GB on another forum. All were hand-brushed with Xtracrylix paint, over a coat of Halford's primer and finished with Games Workshop "Purity Seal" satin varnish. Firstly, the 1/72nd Hasegawa Mk VIII, finished as a machine from 457 Sqn RAAF in 1945. Decals from Almark, I think: Then we move onto the Fujimi Spit XIVe low back in the markings of 41 Sqn RAF, again in 1945. Decals from Freightdog: Finally, we have the Sword Spit IXe, finished as a "fighter bomber" from 66Sqn in late 1944. The underwing bombs are from the kit, the centre line bomb and bomb carrier is from an Airfix Hampden, with the bomb rack assembly being scratchbuilt. Decals were partly from the kit, but codes / serials were sourced from Modeldecal and Ventura sheets respectively: And the inevitable group shot: Comments welcome. regards, Martin

  3. It's finaly done! Let's hope that Airfix will make a proper one, because this Revell toylike monstrosity is good for kids only. I haven't seen many good ones on the internet and it's no wonder. Exhaust stains may seem odd, but I've used photos of wartime Forts as a refference. Ah, and the wheels are Brassin resin ones and they can't be deflated:-( Josip

  4. This is a Cyber-Hobby kit in 1/35 scale. A number of PE sets were used, as well as Atak's resin zimmerit set. Individual track links were constructed from AFV Club. This was part of 'Achtung Panzer' GB, so a wip can be found here: http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234975397-jagdpanzer-iv-lehr-div-normandy/ ------------------------------------- The unit depicted is from Panzer Lehr Division. Beginning of April '44, 31 of these vehicles were infused into the tank hunting battalion (including towed 7.5cm PaK 40). During the first hours of D-Day, the division was ordered to move towards Caen and await further orders. The vehicle portrayed is possibly that of Lieutenant Werner, acting commander of the first company of Panzerjäger-Lehr-Abteilung 130. On June 10 1944, his formation was sent forth to aid a sister panzer grenadier unit. Their command post, situated west of Tilley, was under attack by five British tanks. All five of the enemy vehicles were either destroyed or put out of commission. ------------------------------------------- regards, Jack

  6. Ready for Inspection, my fifth model of the year and one built for the Sea King Single Type GB. Depicting an AEW 2 'Bagger' belonging to 849 NAS HQ Flight during 1994 and based at RNAS Culdrose, Cornwall. It carries D-Day aniversary marking. The kit is Revell 72nd scale and what little beauty it is to build. Decals are from IAM and supplemented with those form the kit. Paint is White Ensign Models enamel with deatail painting in Humbrol. One coat of Future was applied by brush after decaling. More pics in the Sea King STGB Gallery. Thanks for looking. Colin

  7. Hi guys, been a while since I posted any work here, so it thought I would post up a recently finished kit. Here we have the old and very vintage Airfix Short Stirling bomber in 1:72. If any of you have built this kit (judging by its age there may well be a fair few of you out there) it is in the kindest possible term, a DOG. If it were a car, it would be a Mini Metro with bead mat seat covers and beige interior. I could list all the problems and jobs done to just get the kit to fit properly never mind gain more accuracy but it would be a three page epic so if anybody really wants to know, PM me and I can eventually email a full write up on what I did. Kit was painted with Vallejo Air Dark Earth, Dark Green, Mat Black and Humbrol Interior Green, three coats of Pledge gloss and the mat coat was Winsor and Newton. Weathering used Humbrol 11, oil pastels and some small amount of charcoal in places.

  9. Hello fellow modellers. I'd like to present you my latest build; the Great Wall Hobby Devastator Floatplane. Only one real floatplane was ever produced but I didn't want to build that version. So I bought an aftermarker decal set for a regular Devastator. The kit is a dream to build. Only problem is that the clear canopy parts are way to thick to open it up and stack the glass parts on top of each other. So, for the photo's I ommited a couple of them. For the cockpit, which is pretty good straight from the box, I used the Eduard interior set. The model was painted with Gunze paints and Alclad for the torpedo. Hope you like the result. Thank you for watching. René

  11. Here is my rendition of the 1/72 Revell / Italeri Ju87B-2 Stuka built out of the box as part of my intent to build more BoB aricraft this year. It's a nice easy build and as I don't have much information on the Stuka, I have no clue as to whether the kit is accurate. I must admit I don't care that much either; it looks good. Finish is my usual brush painted Xtracrylix on top (RLM70 schwartzgrun and- *ahem* - RAF dark green masquerading as RLM71). Accuracy be damned! I can actually see the colour demarkation this time. Underside is Revell Aqua Hellblau. Anyhoo, I enjoyed building it, but didn't the Stuka have lots of delicate sticky out bits! Definitely a challenge for sausage fingers here. It's a very clean build as I needed to finish it sharpish, so it's as delivered to 9./StG1 according to the Almark instructions. regards, Martin

  15. Dassault Rafale M – 11F Aeronavale Landivisiau, Brittany, 2015 1/72 Heller kit updated to current version – Syhart decals This one started life as a 15 year old Heller kit. Thanks to the superb Syhart decal sheet No 72-915 ‘Rafale B/C/M Standard Markings’ I was able to rescribe and update the kit. This was a bigger task than expected (as usual!) and included the addition of all sensors, ECM, chaff/flare dispensers, etc. Pylons and drop tanks came from the Hobbyboss Rafale B kit which was on the workbench at the same time. I must admit I didn’t add ALL the stencils provided by Syhart – I could only take so much of minute grey stencils on grey camo – but they’re all there on the sheet if you have the inclination and patience.

  16. This morning I applied the second coat of RAF Dark Green: I think that might do it, though I do foresee some retouching in my future as using well-thinned paint as I have been on panel lines which are quite narrow but rather deep is a recipe for paint-runs... but on removing the underside masking I found very little, I'll have a closer look later on... This afternoon I painted the props and exhausts with a base coat of Vallejo Model Colour German Grey, it has become my go-to undercoat for all black and silver painting, as it brushes nicely and provides a nice even base... Next the propellers will be top-coated in Tamiya Rubber Black and the exhausts in Tamiya Dark Iron... I forgot to make a note of it at the time, but after the initial primer coat and before the camouflage was applied I added some dry-brushed aluminium colour to the port wing-root and randomly blobbed some masking fluid on it - I cannot remember for certain from whom I stole this idea as I am such a prolific and inattentive thief of ideas; I think it was Mark (FZ6 on BritMo) or Cookie (Cookenbacher) but if not I apologise to whoever it was who inspired me to try this. It came out... well, sort of okay, but will need a bit of work to blend it in a bit as it just looks like a few great chunks of paint sheared off - I probably should have used more, but smaller (not further away, Ced) blobs: So I think there are quite a few little jobs to paint like radiator grilles and undercarriage parts, but all being well I should be able to get to the decalling in the next few days... Incidentally I was at the IPMS Scottish Nationals Show yesterday (as I mentioned), and I was at one point obliged to use the word "decals" in conversation and as I said it I realised I had never said this word out loud before and wasn't really sure how it is pronounced. I went for "dekkles", is there a definite correct and incorrect way of saying it? "Dee-cals"? "De-calls"?The bloke I was talking to didn't start laughing or anything, so I think I got away with it... Cheers, Stew

  17. Hi, Next very old model - Blackburn Skua, old Frog kit. Those, who made once model out of this kit might noticed that I have added some details mainly in engine and reshaped a bit canopy... It is from about 1993. Markings of 800 Sq. FAA, HMS Ark Royal, Hatston 1939-40. Since I made it many years ago and it is now far below modern standars I am very interesting mostly in comments about the scheme - are the colours OK or should it be TSS etc...

  19. Salve! 4 years ago I finished my 10 years old scratch built projekt of an E-10. The tank is scratch built with a little use of kit bashing and has a complete interior, scratch of course. The leaves ar printed on transparent paper and scissored piece by piece. It took me severeal month to cut the at least 3000 lefs out but the result is too cool. The interior: The canon: Completed Interior: The roof: Details outside: Painting: The finished tank: The Figures The turtle is a stud, the fishes and bird are scratch built. El Commandante Diorama Acer platanoides (left) and Acer pseudoplatanus (right). in summary around 3000 leaves and around 50000 times shnipshnap with the scissor.... It took me 3 months. In that time I watched 200 episodes of a broadcast where a german astrophysic-professor explains the universe very cleary. Effekt of single cutted and assembled transparent leaves Salve!

  20. It's been a long time since I posted one of my builds but thought I would share this with you, Revell's fairly recent Bf 109G-6 but finished as a G-14. The kit is pretty much as it comes however I did use Alley Cat's excellent upgrade set and an HGW fabric seat harness. The model was finished with my usual blend of Gunze and Tamiya paints. Markings were a mixture of Montex masks and an Eagle Cals decal sheet to represent 'Yellow 4' from 14/JG5 in Norway in the closing months of the war: Thanks for looking, Howard

  21. There hasn't been much going on recently. I'm waiting on some materials arriving before I can really proceed with this build... and also trying to move forward with the rail carriage build. I have lamented about the thickness of the plastic on this kit, and also the inconsistency of the thickness on even a single part. That issue provided a problem for me with the electrical bay panel that I had just cut out. The scale thickness of the panel was probably in the region of 150mm+ - not good. I had to figure out a way to come up with a reasonable solution. I pondered the issue for a few days, not really wanting to commit to anything until I was sure about a way forward. I was almost at the point of vac-forming over the panel to get a replacement but that meant I would have had to remove all the surface detail like hinges, louver vents etc. and I didn't fancy trying to rebuild all that later. Eventually I convinced myself that I could do it by grinding away the inside of the panel with a mini tool, and be able to get to something approaching reasonable. - Here we are off to a scary start! I must admit there were a few heart stopping moments but in the end I managed to remove a substantial amount of italeri plastic. With a bit of care, I managed to get an almost uniform thickness throughout the panel. That allowed me to build up the framing on the reverse of the panel and add some bits and pieces to make it look just a little bit better. In this shot you can actually see how thick the plastic was to begin with on the diagonal running down towards the nose. and lastly for tonight's update, I plucked up enough courage to start gluing on the mesh over the gearbox area.... I am using a new CA which allows more time to position parts. It seems to work but it is a bit thick. Knowing how I always cack things like this up, I opted to take it in several stages - first gluing just the front edge to make sure I get it aligned and fully glued in place. and that's as far as I got tonight. I'll glue the remainder of the mesh in place later this week... and hopefully the new materials will arrive so I can plough onwards with this

  22. Finally after losing my modeling mojo for a number of months, I have completed my Matchbox 1/72 Eurocopter AS365 Dauphin using Whirlybird decals to show it as the London Air Ambulance G-HEMS. Used an old Heinkel 111 Bomb aimer as the "patient". And the real deal J

  23. Hello all, Here is my entry for the GB: a 1/48 Hasegawa F-4E in the markings of the Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force. I chose this scheme as I read an article in a magazine a few months ago which discussed how IRIAF F-4E's had been attacking Islamic state fighters. The kit: The aftermarket: I'll be using True Details cockpit, True Details pylon set, Steel Beach FOD guards and FCM decals. I'd also like to add an Airwaves canopy set if i can get one. Great reference material: Plan to load her up with 4x AGM-65 Maverick and 6x Mk-82 bombs, which I hopefully have in the spares Dave

  24. Hey all, started this a while ago but as is always the case other things got in the way. Finally finished though so i thought i would share some pics. Its a kit i remember seeing in Beaties back in the day and always fancied, got hold of one from ebay earlier in the year and apart from some perished decals it was sport on. Decals used are from Indycals and i found them pretty good. Frustratingly i did some extra work to the engine, but the cover was such a nightmare to get on i am not keen to take off again, as i will break the mirrors if i do so. I'll probably try at some point but while the fit is ok the usability of the engine cover isn't great on this kit. I now understand why people cut along the pods to have a lift of centre section instead. Added ariels using some unused clothing label tags cut and painted to fit, and some rivet decals to simular the fasteners the car has on the nose, engine cover and screws on the mirrors. Also had a go at doing my own sabelt decals as it didn't have any for the belts. Need to touch up the kmarts on the side as they were damaged getting the engine cover on, paint is mostly vallejo model air with some tamiya stuff. Some pics! : With its older brother from many moons ago: And this truck, i think from the model shop that used? to be in the metro centre, not sure if it is there anymore. The rattle can paint has faded a lot, maybe i'll try and refurbish it and make some decals instead of stickers. And the next build i think: Thanks for taking a look!

  25. hi everyone,just finished this airfix 1-11,it was started way back in 2000 however due to a changing work situation i was unable to settle back to a regular modelling routine so it became abandoned,fast forward to 2011 and retirement which was the boost to start some more projects,recently the 1-11 was rediscovered partially painted and covered in a gooey mess of masking tape so i decided to rescue it as i imagine these are difficult to find these days, however here it is 15 years late with some other aircraft from the fleet built in my previous modelling life.

  26. Hello all One of my recent builds - Italeri's Stuka in 1/48. Built out of the box, with just a Montex mask to assist with the canopy (which would have driven me nuts to do myself with tape) and a bit of EZ line for the aerial. Generally happy with the result, although I had a couple of issues, more down to my limited skills than the kit I suspect. I was originally planning to pose it with the engine partially exposed, as the kit had a decent looking engine included, but just couldn't get it lined up properly to have the engine cowls on one side, so ended up covering it up completely. Also, had a bit of trouble with the bomb release mechanism, so the main bomb is just stuck on... Painted with Tamiya acrylics, weathered with a Flory dark dirt wash and a flattened finish with Vallejo Matte Medium. Anyhow, to the pictures. Thanks for looking. Adam

  27. 06/24 junior tells me they are stickers (in fact what he actually told his mum was "they're what us normal people would call stickers") but then he also gave me a stern lecture yesterday on the dangers of meeting people you've only ever spoken to on the Internet, so it seems something the school tells him sticks...

  29. Work this morning involved painting the black areas of the pit. Using the same techniques and paint described above, I filled in the appropriate areas. A light grey dry brush to the buttons and switches brought some of them to the surface, but I'll add some more color to them later. image by The 3rd Placer, on Flickr Ryan

  30. That about sums it up. Evelyn Waugh's 'Decline and Fall' is on Radio 4 in the background and, listening to Grimes talking about getting "in the soup" I thought 'ENOUGH'. After dropping and pinging parts over and over and over again, trying to find them again and again, running out of poky things that wouldn't stick to the CA, knocking off the IP completely and, seriously, wondering 'what the hell!!' I managed to get two of the levers vaguely in place: Then the Doctor on D and F said "I am at a loss to understand my own emotions. I can think of no entertainment that fills me with greater detestation than a display of competitive athletics, none - except possibly folk dancing.” Substitute 'modelling' for 'athletics' and you'll know how I'm feeling. (More quotes here. Funny.) I am going for a lie down to listen to Evelyn. I may be gone some time.

  32. First update here too. I painted the pits simultaneously as the RF-4E so this one is on its way. The aires pit needed a hell of a lot of sanding, as did the sidewalls to get it in, some parts of the resin sidewalls were completely sanded off but no worries as the bits that can be seen survived . Still need to add various bits and paint/detail the top coamings for the nav and pilot, but I will do these latter after the main construction so they do not get damaged in sanding process. Below is it glued between the fuselage halves, its the best fit I could get tbh. The small gap between the resin sidewalls and the fuselage sides will be covered by the airwaves canopy set etch pieces which I will add later. Thanks for looking, David.

  35. Hi guys, Heres my finished trumpeter 1:35 scale AS90. Realy enjoyed making this kit for an old mate from the Regiment. (3 RHA) I used the Eduard PE kits for the mesh and other bits, the RBM 39 calibre barrel instead of the Braveheart, and Lenses were from Little cars. 3RHA Cypher on turret was done with crafty cards inkjet water slide decal paper. painted using Valejo acrylics and clear varnished with Valejo gloss varnish, The barrel transit clamp was too high so cut it down by the equivalent of about 18" and it looks better now. Anyway here's the pics.

  36. Hi everyone, This was a really great kit, it sat in my stash for years before I felt confident enough to have a bash at it. The only real issue was with the intakes, as they are pretty pants if built the way Tamiya designed them, so I cut them around and made them seamless. I used an Eduard Big etch set and painted the main colour with Lifecolor acrylics, the tug is from Verlinden and the figures are from the Tamiya Tomcat and Academy Hornet. The deck is my artistic license in effect although I did study some reference pics to get the flavour of the real thing, the JBD was the hardest part for me to build as having to make multiple parts and keep them the same size really twisted my melon lol ! Hopefully if my IPad and Photobucket play nicely, you should see some pics Cheers guys Pete

  37. Just finised this one. I basicly have two levels of modeling. The best stuff that i take my time over and goes in the cabinet in the lounge and then the stuff that just goes together for the pure fun and pleasure of it and ends up in the garage. sometimes brush painted and often missing the smaller details. this one fits in the second group and is done in the style of the plane from Where Eagels Dare. Nothing too fussy and done simply cos it looks good. a nice large kit that could be made into a great model with more care...

  38. Hello, Work on the Revell 1:32 Bf109 I was building ground to a halt about 3 months ago due to lack of interest and motivation. Recently I decided to try and kick start my modelling again and chose this little Airfix kit - an Aldi special! I went together quickly and easily, and I didn't bother taking any photos.The panel lines are pretty deep but that doesn't bother me. I built it straight out of the box and it only took a few hours to assemble. I wanted to try out a new painting technique and my initial intention was to use the little pots of paint that come with the kit. I gave the 'black basing' technique a go by starting off with an overall coat of XF-1. I used the pot of Humbrol 157 for the undersides and despite thinning it way more than I usually would [using UMP thinner for the first time - good stuff!] it sprayed like cement! I switched to Plan B for the camo colours and used Tamiya Acrylics - XF-59 Desert Yellow and XF-52 Flat Earth - the colours are a good enough match for me. I like the 'black basing' technique although it doesn't show up too well in the photos I've taken - in real life I'm pleased with it. Progress so far: Thanks for looking. Matt

  39. Good evening everyone Please find below my latest offering which has been a while in production as time for modelling at present is a valuable commodity and in short supply.This kit was the first venture into a slightly higher end market from the revell kits previously built,the difference in quality was easy to see with very few if any annoying gaps to fill etc not that the previous builds have had major problems but you do need to keep the filler handy. Anyway the kit was a 1/48 tamiya f-16 fighting falcon made totally out of the box and brush painted as usual.Also the first time brush painting with acryllics which even when thinned down i found quite difficult to get a good finish due to the faster drying time so maybe not quite as good a finish as i had hoped but all in all a good pleasant build. Next on the bench something a bit bigger and back to revell for the b-24 liberator for which there is a bit of a personal connection which i will go into on completion whenever that may be.

  40. Ah, got it. But the 'don't meet people you've only met on the Internet' warning has made me wonder if I'm being groomed. Then I started wondering who it might be. Then I remembered the Tommy Cooper joke... Apparently, 1 in 5 people in the world are Chinese. And there are 5 people in my family, so one of them must be Chinese! It's either my mum or my dad. Or my older brother Colin. Or my younger brother HoChaChu. But I think it's Colin. Classic. I miss him too. RIP Tommy.

  43. Hi Bernd. Thank you. I don't think I'm going to weather this one as much as I'd originally planned - some photos of ithe actual aircraft show it looking very well used. I think I'll go for something earlier in it's career. Hi Nigel. Nor can I! I have some ideas for a small diorama but I'll have to wait and see if an idea I have works the way I hope it will. Hi Houston!! Hope you are keeping well. Thank you and you are very kind as always. I hope you have had a good weekend too. Hi Rob. Thank you for your kind comments. I've been looking at it in a bit more detail with doing the panel line washes, and you're right; there is some excellent detailing on it - more than on the Airfix version. Hi Rob. Thank you for your kind comments. It was good to get some work done on this project again. I've done some more today which I will include some photos of below. I didn't do much on the Sherman today because I wanted to get more done on the Tamiya Vb. Hi Julian. Thank you!First up today I got some washes on the upper surfaces and did some work on the exhaust stains. The latter look a bit heavy in a couple of the photos but actually look okay in reality. I think the light quality wasn't very good this morning and it doesn't help that the rest of the Spitfire is still in it's coat of Pledge: Then I added the staining behind the machine gun and shell ejection ports: Before moving onto doing the chipping/dirt areas on the wing roots: Finally I did some of the oil leak staining underneath: Next week I'm going to mask the canopy ready for a coat of matt varnish and then I'll see whether I want to do any more weathering. Comments and suggestions welcome. Kind regards, Stix

  44. After a bit of a break to complete the Thunderbirds Mole, I'm back to continue this! Some progress was made in the interim, with the main body parts getting sprayed with the Tamiya Blue spray can which is supposed to be a good match to Elf Blue. The wing has also been assembled and painted and the engine is now attached to the chassis. The exhaust pots have been resprayed with Alcad Chrome as has the rollbar behind the driver's head. I'm currently working on the suspension for the double front wheels.

  45. Thanks very much Brian, I hope its all ok now, 'seems to be'!!!!. Cheers gremlin and Jim. Well after finishing the boats and waiting on plastic to finish the oars, I took a look at the hammocks that adorn the decks. The Heller ones are not bad but to thin. Luck has it that I have two sets,so filed down one side. Stuck together under pressure. Next was to add some plastic putty to the top surface and later when dry file to shape. When dry spray a plastic primer from a can. When dry will spray an off white to represent canvas. Weather and later fix into the hammock nets that adorn the sides. foxy
