  1. Seconded Steve at least that way it stops confusion from those who responded to the original post and should attract other builders of AFV's.
  2. Always wanted to have a dabble at building a tracked thingy, but being a wingy thing builder I would need a lot of advice like best and easiest kit to build. So guys, should this get the nod, you can put me down as a definite maybe. BUT HEEEEEELLLLLP
  3. Just been checking STGB's I've committed to for next year and things are quiet in the second half so count me in for this. Not sure what with yet, but I do have a Revell 1/144th F.6 that could be a bit of fun to make.
  4. That looks brilliant Neal, the pencil weathering has turned out really well.
  5. Brilliant job it looks really neat. Having lost most of the paint off Eduards etched seat when bending it to shape I think that I will have to get a couple of sets
  6. Wow what a great looking Tornado, a cracking paint job and very well photographed. The FOD covers are brilliant.
  7. Thanks for that Brian, I will give that a go. I could see from reference photos that it was a red-brown colour, but everything that I tried to mix came out to brown - probably because I was starting with a brown base.
  8. That's a fantastic 'Cat Collection' Brian, the 41Sqdn Special looks brilliant. Could you tell me what you used to paint the gun ports. I have a retirement scheme Jaguar with gun ports unpainted at the moment because I couldn't find a suitable colour/method for doing them. Cheers
  9. Hi Neal Just caught up with this, looks fantastic buddy.
  10. Great job on both Brian, but I really like the Flanker.
  11. Hi Rob, Good to see you back on with one of these. I don't think the marks are a photo artefact, if you check the link below to a photo on airliners.net they are also shown on there. Not sure what they are for though. http://www.airliners.net/photo/UK---Air/Avro-698-Vulcan/1243283/L/&sid=385064dce5ae38a262f3d4501adf96ed
  12. Fantastic model PeteW in a great looking scheme. A well deserved winner, well done.
  13. That looks brilliant Shaun, looking forward to seeing it completed.
  14. Nice model Bradley, looking at your in build list there is a lot more to come yet. Which kit was it?
  15. ALF I have just had a quick search of the internet and the only one that I have found is on e-bay, it appears as if it is quite rare now and the example on the site has discoloured decals. It may be that someone on here has one that they are willing to part with but failing that this may be the only option. Anyway I have included the link below. Good luck with the search. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1-144-DRAGON-CF-188A-HORNET-410-COUGAR-SQUADRON-4522-ULTRA-RARE-/370683430614
  16. Quentin, I have just picked up this build thread and have spent a very pleasant hour reading through it. It is an inspirational build and is an outstanding demonstration of your patience and scratch building abilities. What a beautiful model, well done.
  17. Looks fantastic Paul. I am also going to dash now - straight down to my LMS to pick one of these beauties up and when SWMBO questions my purchase I can blame you for it.
  18. Hey Dazz which aggressor scheme do you fancy? I have just ordered the same sheet so if you decide which one you are doing I will make up the other one on the sheet. Should be fun. Edited. 08-09-13 Probably enter with two Revell 1/144th F-14A's one off the Fighter Town Adversary sheet and the other OOB build of a VF-84 Jolly Rogers version.
  19. Count me in on this one Dave. Bit of an overlap with the MiG 21 and Harrier STGB's but I hope it won't cause me too many problems. I'll just have to get my finger out.
  20. Count me in for this, put it in my calendar so I don't forget.
  21. Fantastic job Pavol. The NMF MiG looks superb and the skills you have shown in your freehand camouflage version are outstanding, as others have said not an easy task in this scale. Just brilliant.
  22. This will be the last update here, I will post final pictures in RFI when I have finished. Got the underside colour on today, need to tidy up a couple of areas where it has bled through, then gloss coat and on with decalling.
