HL-10

Superb! A really impressive Spitfire. Great finish and some fantastic photography 😀

I really do like this! Great job on the natural metal finish

Hello there! I only used the kid's seat frames. Once they were cleaned up and further details were added, I built the armour on to them, fashioning new seat cushions from thick plastic card. Hope that this is helpful? Regards, Angelo (TD-1854)

Great work mate!😀 I especially like the moteled effect on the engine deck. It looks like it has rained on a dusty surface and dried to leave that characteristic effect. Looks really good 👍

Now if this comes true, there will be a number of very happy modellers about! ICM, if you read frequent this forum, you really need to do this!

Again, many thanks for your comments and compliments 😃

Very impressive. So much detail on such a small model.

You've got to love a Victor! Excellent work, great model 😀

Thanks a lot everyone, I really appreciate your comments and compliments 😊

I have been wanting to build one of these for a while. Luckily I was in a local model shop, and they had one on their second hand shelf!. For it's age, first released in 1984, it is an impressive kit. Recessed panel line, a reasonable interior, with a good representation of the ejector seat pods. There aren't many aftermarket sets, which is not a problem really. I dressed up the cockpits with plastic card and some cockpit decal placards, the rest was out of the box. The bare metal finish was achieved using paints from Mr Color and Tamiya, and a lot of masking tape! The B-58 is an incredibly futuristic looking machine for it's time, and it still looks highly advanced today. Thanks for looking Angelo.

They were really good. Nice and, but strong and good colour density 😃 thank you for the comments and compliments, they are very much appreciated 😃

Thank you all very much. Your comments & compliments are greatly appreciated

Good lord! That is some very impressive, too level modelling! absolutely marvellous work!

Impressive! Great result from a very basic kit 😀

That is a superb model! Great work, really impressive modelling

This is the Airfix model of the B-17G. A lovely kit with loads of detail. I built the kit out of the box, apart from adding a set of decals from Kits-World so I could make a B-17 from the 423rd bomb squadron of the 306th Bomb Group based a Thurleigh in Bedfordshire, a few miles from where I live. The kit didn't include the pitot tube or "towel rail aerial" for some reason so I scratched them out of wire & plastic card. I used Tamiya lacquers for the natural metal finish and I used raw umber oil paint to weather the model, creating streaks of dirt, oil leaks etc. A great kit that went together with no problems. Thanks for looking Angelo.

Yes, but it would have been HUGE! There is a 48th scale resin kit by Copper State that looks rather lovely, but the rigging! 😲 Thanks for all the comments & compliments, greatly appreciated

Thank you very much for all the compliments, it means such a lot coming from such a group of talented modellers!

Many thanks for all the wonderful comments and compliments 😃 They are greatly appreciated.

Superb!

Thanks guys, your comments are very much appreciated 😊

Very nice! Great work on the interior, especially as its 72nd scale! That's a lovely looking 88😀

As a rule I stay away from bi-planes, too many wings, and then there is the rigging!😲 However, I have always liked the look of the 0/400 and I was challenged to build the kit by my son! The kit was a struggle, the fuselage being made up from four panels was a bit of a challenge, and the whole structure has an unwanted twist in it which I couldn't correct. The other thing I did was to sand off the overdone rib detail on the wings & tail and simulate the rib tape with thin strips of masking tape secured in place with liquid poly. I also added an etched scarf ring for the front gun with the Mini World item, which includes a beautifully cast Lewis gun, and I used two more after market Lewis guns from Gaspatch. The model was painted with Tamiya acrylics. Thanks for looking Angelo.

That's a very impressive bit of modelling!😀 great finish well done!

Best scheme the Hercules was ever seen in! Great looking model😀
