hi all. I've been posting on here now for many Years, I was checking my photo bucket account and came across some old favourites some now in the attic otner long since destroyed by the most deadly weapon known to modellers. You guessed it the " wife controlled duster " these are some of my favorites hope you like them. and at last the enemy, the person behind the Duster... Regards Glenn

Meet Miss B Havin, my newest completion. Built completely OOB including kit decals. After getting ready to post this, I realize I forgot to paint the navigation lights. In the meantime, enjoy the pics. This is a great kit. The fit is superb. The only things I noticed was that the interior is sparse on detail, and the gear doors are rather thick for the scale. The lack of interior detail is not much of a gripe though, given the scale and the fact that hardly any of it can be seen.

Lt Col Ronnie Hay RM Corsair II Tamiya 1/48 [/url] SLt W Atkinson RCNVR Hellcat MkII Eduard 1/48. S/Lt Atkinson achieved a rare distinction on the night of July 25. Four Hellcats were scrambled on a night combat air patrol. These were conventional Hellcat II's [F6F-5s] without radar, but their pilots had been trained in night flying. Shortly after assuming patrol, incoming Japanese aircraft were detected. Two Hellcats were forced to return to the carrier unserviceable. Slt Atkinson flying X/119 (1844 det'd flight in Formidable 7/45 to 8/45") assumed the lead of the remaining two Hellcats and was vectored out on an intercepting course. Under a full moon, Atkinson identified the bandits as big, single engine "Grace" torpedo planes and took his New Zealand wingman, Sub-Lieutenant R.F. Mackie, into the attack. Atkinson latched on a pair of Graces and shot them both into the water while Mackie dumped the third. Then, in routing the other bandits, a fourth Grace was damaged and the enemy attack was completely broken up. Atkinson was credited with shooting down three Grace Torpedo bombers, with Mackie claiming the fourth. Atkinson thereby established himself as the second Canadian "Naval Ace" of the Pacific war.

Hello, Colleagues! I want to present you one of my new models. I hope you like it! Thanks for looking.

The first reveal of a mediocre builder. My builds tend to move at snails pace. I wanted to take part in last years BoB GB but I arrived late and build slowly so have only now completed the series I was building. All these models are Airfix New Tool 1/48. Here is my contribution... As you know 58 pilots were temporarily seconded to the RAF for the Battle. 4 became Aces 242 Sqn RAF Hurricane Ib P2884 Sub Lieutenant Jimmy Gardner August / September 1940 [/url] 242 Sqn RAF Hurricane Ib PP2831 LE*K Sub Lieutenant Dickie Cork August / September 1940 5 Victories [/url] 19 Sqn RAF Spitfire Ib R6991/QV*?

I'm calling this one complete, my 1/48 Hobbyboss FW-190D-9 of II/JG6 in May 1945. using Ultracast's seat and exhaust, Aeromaster decals,and some scratchbuilt detailing. Paint is Tamiya acrylics with oils and pastel weathering. Hope you like, Colin Link to build: http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234996206-148-fw-190d-9-and-d-11-double-build-hobbyboss-re-painted-yet-again-march-18th/ Thanks for looking, Colin

Here is my go at this excellent old kit. If you want to see the build its at http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234998810-132-airfix-crusader-mkiii/

Hiya Folks, Here is my 1/48th Hobbyboss kit from the Corsair STGB which has been built as a Fleet Air Arm Corsair, 1836 NAS from HMS Victorious in, 1944,.....some modifications include scratch built air vents for the rear fuselage, drop tank from the spares box, harness from the same location, wing fold parts, propeller, wheels and exhausts reclaimed from an old Tamiya Corsair, Fundelkal decals, Here is the WIP; http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234997397-148th-hobbyboss-kit-as-a-fleet-air-arm-corsair-1836-nas-hms-victorious-1944-finished/ And here is the model; The kit itself isn`t a patch on the cheaper Tamiya one and requires a lot of extra work, so I won`t be building another!! As usual it is brush painted and from the WIP you`ll see that I had some `issues' of my own making with the paintwork on this one!! Cheers Tony

Hi guys, I used to post the photos of our models in other section of this site (Aicraft Modelling/Military Aircraft Modelling Discussion/WWII) Fortunately our friend Luis could finished for us some decals which allowed my father finished these two models done some years ago. 1) Armstrong Whitworth A.W. 27 Ensing GADSU "Euterpe" October 1942 in Withchurch used on the Cairo Calculta sector of the route to Australia. This model was done from scratch in balsa wood. (1/72 scale) Some photos with the HP42 already done some time ago With the DH Albatross in the display cabinet And the full view of one out of four display cabinet 2) De Havilland D.H.91 Abatross . GA FDK at Whitchurch Airport 1941 . (1/72 scale) And both DH Albatross DH 91 together. The De Havilland D.H.91 Abatross in BOAC marking was done by my father in scratch (balsa wood). The second one was done using a Vacum form kit. My father is doing five Blackburn Firebrand by this moment. Cheers Santiago

Here is my go at this kit. Here is a photo to give you an idea of the scale. The one on the ground is a 1/48 Tomahawk by Academy which I built a few years ago. The full build is at http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234998782-172-airfix-curtiss-tomahawk-iib/

well after having this kit sat in the corner and starting it a while ago I have finally finished it..... this wasn't my normal scale but picked it up for a fiver as it had had the pit and fuselage done but unknown to me till get home it also had the nose across the rear of pit behind the seat snapped off!!!!! but put me out my comfort zone on both size and having to get the detail/weathering right..... I purchased a microscale decal sheet and a resin seat prior to starting the build. starting with the pit I managed to hack the kit seat out and replaced it with the a/m one. after which I was able to fix the nose back on luck it was a clean snap sand just about got it matched up. I had in mind that wanted to give the finish a heavy used and dirty look but knew would be a challenge and I would have to learn a few new things and tweek a few things I have done before, the first step after assembly was to do the white and grey for which I used the Ak US modem paint set which sprayed on nicely with no issues !!! then on with the decals and this went tits up as the kit decals as soon as hit water just fell apart so had to go on the prowl and thankfully managed to get some, the a/m decals for the scheme I thought would be ok but had problems with them few the big ones broke so had to do a jigsaw on the model lol... for the weathering and after putting up a post in the same folder I got the info I was after and made a start not knowing if it would work out as this would be a big test for me. for the weathering I did it in stages which did take some pics of if needed and carried on as set out:: 1. using the grey I added some white and started to fill in between the panel lines I did this 2-3 times each time adding more white.then I masked up the flaps and some the lines on the hump with some thin tape and sprayed over this with some heavily thinned Tamiya smoke just so gives a more used look and some depth... 2. using both sea salt and some normal salt so get a good variation I scattered it on to the model after spraying it with some water. 3. using a slightly darker grey heavy thinned a sprayed it all over the top sections, next I sprayed a layer of flory grime followed by flory dark wash then left it to dry. 4.once dried using a stiff dry brush I removed the salt then with an old t-shirt damped wiped away the wash and salt residue in the direction of the airframe 5.i put on all the other parts and any parts not weathered were done so, then with a small brush and water I went back over the paint work and feathered the wash etc just so looked more natural instead just long wipe marks going from nose to tail... then was finished well to the best of my ability and don't think looks to bad there are few spots were did slip up but will learn for next time, left the canopy down as cant decide if to have up or down at the moment??? but did enjoy the build and have learned from it and least its not sat in the corner any more!!!!

Good day, gentlemen. Let me present you my next model. Photos of the construction process, you can watch here: http://www.greenmats.club/topic/1647-lockheed-pv-1-ventura/?page=1

Hi all, I thought I would share photos of some of my older builds, all taken in natural light. This is done by using a Fuji camera and a base painted to look like concrete that measures approx. 3’x3’. I use the local airport as the back ground. In my opinion, there is nothing quite like the sun showing the work. When taking the photos, I try to envision the angles that I would be taking of real aircraft. scales are 72, 48, 35 and 32. Hope you enjoy the pics. NEW: got rid of photobucket.

A nice kit but seriously over-priced for what it is...but the car is such a distinctive one; however, SWMBO says it can stay on the coffee table on the front room 'because I like that it', so I'll take that as a mark of success, lol and for those of you who are too young to remember, the yellow headlights are correct - its was the standard legal requirement on France until relatively recently

As a Fokker Dr.I popped up last week on RFI, I thought I'd add a couple more, together with an E.V and a Sopwith Pup ... Fokker Dr.I (serial unknown) flown by Staffelfuhrer August Raben, Jasta 18, 1918. Revell 1/48th scale. Brush painted acrylics, home-made decals. Fokker Dr.I, 546/17, Jasta 11, early 1918. Eduard 1/48th scale weekend edition, OOB build with kit decals. Brush painted acrylics. Fokker E.V (aka D.VIII) flown by Theodor Osterkamp, Eduard Weekend Edition, 1/48th scale. Brush painted acrylics. Sopwith "Navy" Pup, Flashback Limited Edition, 1/48th scale. Brushed acrylics, kit / home-made decals. B2192, attributed to Capt Foote and Capt. H. H. Balfour at the Gosport School of Special Flying, 1917. For more photos (gluttons for punishment) and details of builds, follow links in signature to web site / club site respectively. All feedback welcome, as ever.

Thanks for the enquiry. I have made a start on adding the Press-fix Lining that I acquired from HMRS, and the boiler bands are done. I am hoping to wrap up my P-47 build this week and then it should be full steam to the end to try and get this finished. The lining around the splashers is quite intricate, and it will be something of a miracle if I can get it to look anything like the real thing. Anyway, I should be back on this soon. Edited to add photo

with some delay here my recent Meteor build, just in time before the new Airfix kit that I wanna do in some different middle eastern scheme... Gloster Meteor MK.7 Classic Airframes 1/48 Royal Egyptian Airforce, late 1950ies Build thread here Build thread here hope you like it! thanks for comments!

Hi, here my latest build: Bf 109 E-3 just OOB of the limited Edition "Legion Condor", Eduard offers together with the Roden He 51. Build 6-123 of the 3.J/88 flown by Hans Schmoller-Haldy in 1938. Hope you like it! And some in Retro-Style

Morning folk's,I,m calling this one almost done with only a few odd touch ups here and there I did have a problem with the decals after matt coating some silvered so another coat of gloss and alls well,so I need to re-matt the wings and prop blades after their decals are applied then fill the colour in on the decals representing the cameras.Should get her in the gallery Monday,thanks for looking in.

thanks chaps why thank you - I only had one made so it is more expensive than a batch run - this one was about 50quid but worth every penny for an A4 sized fret and all the work it will save me - if anyone wanted one they can PM me... so onto the butchery seminar... ..as the nose was cut wide open, I thought I better open out the exhaust areas and fix something to mount the exhaust pipes to later. There will be no engine so this is a bit of fakery.. I folded up some litho and slotted it to represent the framework that surrounds the pipes - the slots are not where the pipes will go, but rather a structural feature below them... the flat mounting areas are at the angle of the Griffon cylinder banks.. ..then I could fix the lower cowl shape matrix thingy into place as a basis for forming the new nose.. lots of CA and bits of shim to lock it in tight.. ..then sprayed it all black so as to hide the lack of engine... --I needed some thick plastic to fill the gaps and my inner hoarder paid off... I had saved a bit of a roller blind I threw out - it's a plastic weight that holds the blind in shape and as it was a sort of aerofoil shape I thought I would keep it about 3 years ago.. well it made for some nice thick and best of all curved sheet panels.. ..lots of them fitted in all the gaps... ..and sanded to the black lines of the shape structure below... ..with a quick shot of primer, I think I am getting there - good job I don't need a flawless surface as this will all be covered in metal.. ..having a ball with this one as you can probably tell...

That's a very nice Hurricane, I did a Royal Navy subject as part of the BoB GB last year. 145 Sqn P3155 flown by Sub. Lt Kestin The Spitfires look fantastic.

Thanks for all your kind comments. It's a great help. 😊 Not much time again today as I had the kids all day but I have managed to get photo bucket on my telephone so I'll try and post from here (the sofa). The rigging is on and straight. Well ish. Here are A few pics before the wings went on. I really like this little gun sight. Anyhoo the wings are on. 😀 It was a real struggle and these aren't the best picks in the world but They will do fo now. As you can see the rigging has stayed ok and not twisted again. Thank goodness. As I hadn't drilled the holes for the bombs I am leaning towards adding the HUGE torpedo instead. No painting instructions for this but I kinda like the black and brass look some of you have done. Not quite 100% sure yet so I am doing the landing gear, propeller and bits and bobs before I add either way. If you guys have a preference let me know. 🙂 Any way here we are as of this afternoon. Landing gear struts with aluminum under coat, ak fluid, and top coat. Hopefully I'll get them painted and on tomorrow with any luck. Until then. Thanks for looking. John. 🤓

Hello, I'm working now on the Hobby Boss kit. It's the black prototype tested during the early 90. The challenge is to represent a credible black overall camo. Gunze/Tamiya black layers and overbrushed with coats of blue/red/gray and brown shades. Thanks for looking at and let me know if you need to understand something ! Anis

Hiya Folks,......its FINISHED!!!!!!! [/URL] I snapped the pitot tube off while taking the pics,...doh!! This kit is nowhere ner as good as the Tamiya kit and I`ll be sticking to these in future! Hope you like it,....... Cheers Tony

Thanks for the kind comments. Made a start on painting the main airframe today. Started with the underside, using Tamiya XF21 Sky, remembering to paint the wingtips white as an undercoat for the eventual yellow that will be needed there. The first coat revealed a few places that needed attention with Mr Surfacer and some wet'n'dry. I also attached the radiators and other bits before giving a second coat.

No apologies required Guy Bit more weathering with oils and pigments. It's not quite turned out as I'd wanted but it's time to move on And now some feet

Thank you for all your really to kind comments. I just nail em together and lash a bit of paint over. I do however like to do my research and find out as much about the subject as possible (even if I don't model it)... So I'll bore you all now... It is sad that of the 4 Battle of Britain aces 2 (SLt Paul & SLt Blake) were killed during the battle. SLt Cork was killed in an air accident in Ceylon in 1944. Only SLt Gardner survived the war. SLt Pauls 64 Sqn Spitfire Ib SLt Pauls flew L1035 was flown extensively by SLt Paul from 01.07.40 to 25.07.40. Francis Paul score most of his 7 victories in this aeroplane, being shot down in it over the Channel and succumbing to his injuries 27.07.40. [/url] SLt Blakes 19 Sqn Spifire Ib R6991 According to the 19 Sqn Operations Diary R6991 was assigned to 19 Sqn on 12.08.40 from an MU (having been repaired from a previous operation with another squadron). It's first Operational flight was on the morning of 15.08.40 and was flown by SLt Blake during which he damaged a German Bomber. In a further operation in the afternoon, Blake again flew R6991 and downed two BF109s. During this operation R6991 was damaged and force landed at Foulness. R6991 did not serve with 19 Sqn again. So this is my interpretation of how R6991 looked at around 1400 on 15.08.40.. [/url] Another view of the 242 Sqn Hurricanes of SLt Cork (LE*K) and SLt Gardner (LE*V). [/url] Thanks for looking..

Here is a couple of pic's with the roof on, will glue this on once I have painted inside cap, would the colour be the same Olive Drab or do I go with grey?? Went back to the boom and added the light up on the top and then added the plate to show operator the angle of boom when raising up. Added the pointer and received some primer from AK and primed the man crane body, had a couple of runs which I think was due to thinning the paint to much. Well that's it for now, Regards Richard

Stars are now sorted out with a blast of Olive Drab base, Further weathering will sort out any rough areas. Cheers Dan

Hello, Been a while since I last posted (flu, work, more flu,etc) and apologies for the lack of WIP for this one. It all happened so fast... I got this for a tenner at the Huddersfield Show, remembering a rather fine build of this by Mike Grant I'd seen. Not saying I've approached that level here, but was inspired to break a habit and actually do a biplane - and have a go at rigging too! This is a great kit, simple, well-designed and sharply detailed. I matched a mix of Revell acrylics to an old Tamiya IJAAF light grey pot, kit decals (good, but a bit thick) and elastic thread and light swearing for the rigging. Not as hard as I thought it might be after all. The base is part of the stand that comes with the 1/32 Revell FW-190 (another steal at the Hudds Show), and various scatters and grass clumps. Dusty, isn't it, I've just realised! Welcome all constructive comments, Take care, Matt

Thanks again for your support guys - it is appreciated Rodders, to be honest I haven't even thought about the engine yet but I'll probably try to add some extra detail to the Airfix parts (rather than starting again from scratch). The PE fret will be of no help as it contains no parts for the engine, nor the rotorhead. Should be fun though. Big fanfares now as I have fixed the vacformed canopy in place It was surprisingly easy in fact. Fortunately, the cabin's rear bulkhead 'spoons' very nicely into the curves of the canopy, so as a first stage I stuck the two parts together using 5-minute epoxy (thanks to Nigel's build thread for reminding me that this is really useful stuff!). I scratched the canopy surface first, to help the bond. The part of the canopy that I have glued, is in reality metal and so will be painted over in due course. Once the glue had hardened, I glued the bulkhead into the fuselage (again using a blob of epoxy), and voila! The canopy is firmly fixed to the fuselage without any need to try to glue its edge down. I will need to seal the canopy edge (I'll run some thinned PVA into the joint), but this is not required to provide any strength. Result! Cheers Cliff

Thanks Cookie - that worked for me too! Thanks for the tip (see below) Thanks Chris, I think you're right (of course). I recommend the Lifecolor - non-smelly, great coverage straight out of the pot and the colours look right... why wouldn't you? Up early this morning so had a bit of time to Micromesh the glossy bits and spray the effected areas with another coat of thinned varnish. Good enough for me! Treated myself by ripping off the masking and fitting the props: Untitled by Ced Bufton, on Flickr Italeri: Untitled by Ced Bufton, on Flickr Airfix: Untitled by Ced Bufton, on Flickr I just need to fit the rear view mirrors and the bottom and spine lights. And the nav lights. I'm going to try the Kristal Klear for those and don't want to rush it so it'll have to wait until I'm back from Cornwall.

Firstly lets look at the Surfite. I thought the wheels too small and the body bare so................. And with the summer coming along a surfboard hire was a good idea, so I took the kit boards, made a few more and added various decals some from the Firebird range...... And something to cart them around in...................... And put them all together out in the bright, warm sunshine today...................... The Tiki Hut is being nailed together as we speak. Back soon!

1/32 Sopwith Triplane. Correcting the Roden Kit With the Wingnut Wings SopwithTriplane kit having long since sold out, the only game in town is the Roden offering. Hannants had them on special offer recently, so I was tempted and purchased one. There is one major problem with the kit however, and that is that the fuselage is too short by about 6 mm. I believe it was Rowan Broadbent of Pheon Decals, John Adams of Aeroclub, and Brian Fawcet who originally brought this to attention, and Brian offers his own resin fuselage correction set. Here If you have a Roden kit and want to fix it, Brians correction set can be heartily recommended. However, I decided to have go at fixing it myself with some old fashioned modelling, using what I had available so as to keep the overall cost down. Firstly I sawed the fuselage in half where the rear decking starts, then cut a strip of 40 thou plasticard 6mm wide. This was cut into lengths for the side and bottom of each fuselage half, and inserted where the cut was made. I set them standing proud of the outside surface to give a little sanding room to bring them down flush. Using 40 thou gave a good strong bond as well. The trick here is to do the fuselage halves with the locating holes first (I think it was left side). Lay it on a flat surface when the inserts are first attached, to get a nice straight fuselage half and let it set solidly over night.The next day do the other half with the locating pegs on, and align it on the by now strong other side, to get a perfectly straight fuselage. This left the cockpit decking too short, but fortunately Roden supply two, one for the single gun and one for the twin gun option. I simply cut a 6mm section off one and joined it to the rear of the other, sanding it flush later. I am not 100% certain that the extra length is in the cockpit decking (rather than the rear fabric decking) but I think so, based on studying photographs and plans. Perhaps Triplane experts can throw some light on this? Annoyingly Roden do not supply any decals for the instrument panel, so I sourced some from the spares box. Having built Wingnut Wings Sopwith Snipe with the 'late' four point Sutton harness, I had a spare etched brass lap type seatbelt which was perfect for the triplane, as again Roden do not supply this. The forward of the two filler caps on the decking need to be filled in and relocated further aft. I simply drilled a hole in the new location and carefully cut one from the spare decking and cemented it in. Before; Having cut the fuselage, there was now a section of fuselge lacing missing on the starboard side. I scraped and sanded off what was there, and replaced it with some Eduard 1/48 etched lacing that I had in stock. Although 1/48, one of the patterns matched perfectly with what was on the kit before I removed it. (Note relocated filler cap) The undercarriage legs do not have much of a contact point where they meet the fuselage, so i decided to fit them while all was still bare plastic for the sake of getting a good strong join all around. Note also that there was a bit of sink marking in the area between the lower wings, as well as other areas where white Milliput has been used to fill in and smooth things up. With Halfords grey primer from a rattle can sprayed on, all was looking encouraging. One real oddity I only spotted after priming was that the underside of the top wing had lots of pinholes in, like resin castings sometimes do. A bit of Milliput sorted that out, but it is a new one on me in injection moulded plastic. Painting is under way, I decided to fit the struts to the middle wings as a bit of filling was needed around them, and paint everything up as a series of sub assemblies. I hope this helps anyone out there contemplating building one of these. They are not to Wingnut Wings Standard, but do build into nice models. The 6 mm extension may not sound like much, but to me it makes a big difference to the look of the model and is well worth doing. Get the wings on and rig it next! Cheers John

Hello friends These are my latest work, a couple of Mustangs, i used AK Xtreme colours! I hope you like it Thank you for looking. Thank you for looking Cheers Vitor Costa

Keep at it Bill, you've got a whole cheering section here.

I've added the flaps and done a bit of milliputing, plus adding the under wing pylon anchoring plates which are the two very shiny areas. The next job will be a bit more scribing and filling. John

Thank you lads!! Dan suggested the rbm kit for that spade handle. It came today its nice, but i am going to assemble the new gun - the casting is intact. I've just had to buy it twice................................. Carbines are nicely done too. Funny looking weapon though I must say. Just on with a bit of green stuff for a bag to hang from the rail. wiring on that bottom shelf now all painted, so avionics complete as far as I can (granby shelf still to do). loading bay area paint touched up, so its time to crack the other side now whilst I wait for my fire extinguishers to turn up. I am going to look at Bill's suggestion re that door as I think its a nice touch

Cheers Julian, Dan and Will. I wondered why someone said they thought my build was the new model of Connie as an aircraft carrier. I see Trumpeter has produced one of the same name. Well back to the oldie one. Some pictures of the Revell kit. The two halves. The decks come in three halves. Will remove all and rebuild the hatch's. The shrouds that come with the kit are good but will be making my own. These will be good templates though. More soon. foxy

Thanks for the info Rodders and Bob, I will certainly try and do the mod to the door.I,ve sprayed detailed and glossed the cabin interior and added the kit decals and a few more to give it a busy look.

Fuselage done: The 'dog house' and skids aren't glued as yet, just placed for the photos. I foresee a LOT PSR and a LOT of masking in my near future !! - Thanks for taking the time to look and/or comment. Ian.

OOB. Another exquisite 1/48 kit from the Big A.

Cheers Guys, One last pass with this one just over the high points. Its Olive Drab Shine A.Mig929 is the code. Totally love this paint, no thinning and it brush paints like a dream.. Chuffed to NAAFI Breaks with it. I'm going to run it through the C-MC next. And some ancillary items. The good old combat bucket (VC,MM, MBE, DFC) And the Civi POL can. Regards Dan

P-47D-28-RA (Eduard 1:48) WIP is HERE if you are interested Cheers Nigel
