  1. It all came togeather in the end well done Rodders
  2. looking forward to the build unfortunatly the pics didnt come out Rodders edit they work now
  3. Had a set of decals from the old conversion from way back when matchbox issued the OH-58D so I decied to use them on an Italeri early kiowa converted Lucky that I tried the decals first as they did Novo on me so after 7 coats of liquid decals they just about worked Look from 5 ft away for best results Rodders
  4. I havent seen one finsihed so looking forward to it. I have the Mk3 and may start it next Rodders
  5. I enjoyed it s well hell its entertainment not to be taken seriously. Maybe because I am older I am less fussy about plot gaps Rodders
  6. I have the opposite problem in the paint dries in the nozzle I have some model air retarder but keep forgetting to use the stuff. Hope you sort your problem out soon. Rodders
  7. I will be following this with interest I see the conversion is still available so I my treat myself. Rodders
  8. Wasp,scout, Whirlwind with cranked tail or puma 1/72 or 1/48 Im not fussed Rodders
  9. I think the AEW3 was a pretty aircraft I have just started modelling in 1/48 scale so would like to have a kit of one. It appears that Classic Airframes was released in the past see the above post where it has been built Rodders
  10. Beautiful build super finish congratulations. Did it come with decals or did you have to make your own. Rodders
  11. Glue and Glaze is wonderful stuff I bought some when I got back into modelling and can highly recommend it. Rodders
  12. YOU ARE RIGHT Just floated off the RAF and it came off in one piece and was able to stick it to a piece of card Will email Airfix to offer apologies Rodders
  13. Airfix reply Dear Sir Thank you for your e-mail. Sorry we do not have the new A55307 decals available. Thank you Regards Airfix spares.
  14. If the whole batch is the same then quality control needs looking at. Yes it is easy to put on some liquid decal I will more than likely do it as a grey whale seems a shame that the kit is spoilt by the decals especially as I cannot see this aircraft and scheme being done again by after market manufactures May even convert it to an HAS2 who knows Rodders
  15. I have purchased the Sea King mk3 and have found that the decals are not fully"varnished" See picture below. Is mine a one off or is a fault on them all like the canopy was on the 1/24 Typhoon. The areas are marked I dont want to soak them off to find I have problems if anyone has the same kit can they have a look to see if theres has the varnish missing also. No point asking Airfix for new if they are all the same. Area marked is where there in no varnish. That said I have a spare old airfix mk3 set 2 sets of modeldecals with a yellow and a grey falklands A/C and the modelart set so it isnt that big a problem Sorry for the poor quality of picture and on a slant but I know that britmodeller dont like pictures that can be used to make copies Rodders
  16. Just finishing the Monogram one Yours will be unbelievably better I am sure Rodders
  17. I was wondering if it was possiabe to use a genuine badger paint head and needle in a copy airbrush that is on sale on ebay. This also goes for all the different makes that are copied I have a badger 150 with 2 heads I was just wondering if it was worth buying one of the copies to use the body to save the messing about of head changing. Rodders
  18. Always good to see a Whirlwind You have done an excellent job there. I wish I could do blade folds like you do. Rodders
  19. Many years ago one summer evening waiting for my father who was a chargehand at the flight shed I saw a tractor driver bring a sea king and a lynx back from having compass swings. He was pulling the Seaking whilst pushing the lynx. Strictly aginst the rules for sure but he did it Rodders
  20. Who would believe that that was the Matchbox kit. I remember many many years ago I changed the canopy as I thought that it looked a bit flat but yours look fine. Well done Rodders
