  1. He should have been sacked the moment he struck and threatened to kill his own men for suffering for combat fatigue! He was an egomaniac who believed his own press and cost the lives of too many people to improve his image!
  2. What a beauty! I remember visiting relatives who live near Treviso in Northern Italy and every day at noon two of these would overfly us! The noise was incredible they were really low. Great work, very impressive!
  3. That is a superb collection! There are some really impressive models there, great work!
  4. Many thanks for all the comments & compliments. they are greatly appreciated
  5. Very nice! Great work on such a small model
  6. Hi Nige, I use enamels because I find acrylics dry too fast on the brush, where as enamels have more "life". I also find it easier to dry brush with enamels. At the end of the day it is a personal preference as I have seen some incredible figure work done with acrylics Thanks everyone for your comments & compliments, they are greatly appreciated.
  7. Tamiya's lovely Panther G. The kit goes together with no problems at all. I added Aber's etch set for exterior details and their etched side skirts. The figures are from Miniart and are very nicely sculpted. The panther was painted with Tamiya acrylics and the crew with Humbrol enamels. Thanks for looking Angelo.
  8. I can imagine the designer's reaction at the first roll out of this machine! "Oh no! They built my doodle!" 😄 A very interesting looking aeroplane and a great job especially as it is a vac form. Very impressive.
  9. Thanks everyone. Really appreciate your comments and compliments 😃
  10. Italeri's 72nd scale Lockheed YF-12 built from the box, apart from the aircrew. I used AK Extreme Metal for the different shades of metal and the black is Tamiya acrylic. A straightforward kit, nice a simple to put together. I have always liked this over the SR-71, the huge radome give it quite a purposeful look! Thanks for looking Angelo.
  11. That is a superb looking X-15! Great job 😃
  12. That is superb! Fantastic modelling and some extremely impressive photography! The photos look real 😀
  13. Many thanks again, for all your comments & compliments
  14. Thank you everyone for your comments & compliments, they are greatly appreciated
  15. Dora Wing's much anticipated kit of the Fairey Delta FD.2 in 72nd scale was worth the wait! A lovely little kit which went together with absolutely no issues. My only problem was when the carpet monster fancied a snack and snaffled one of the etched yaw/pitch probes. So some swearing (lot of swearing!) later I managed to make a passable replacement. For the colour I used Xtracolor X030 RAF Post War Roundel Blue. All Dora Wing's should do now is to upscale it to 48th! Thanks for looking Angelo.
  16. That's a rather lovely looking 110! Great finish, very neat 😊
  17. Thank you all very much for your replies, they you eagerly received! 😄 the wings on the Fritz X bombs have been adjusted, thank you odbl3945 for pointing that out 👍
  18. Very nice! They are very bright looking machines, and you have captured the look perfectly!
  19. Very impressive! Love the look of this scheme, the bright orange fuselage band against the dark blue is really attractive! Great work
  20. On a recent visit to IWM Duxford I found that they were in the process of stripping down a Heinkel 162 in the restoration hall. I believe it's the one that used to be on display in the IWM London. I took the opportunity to take some photos of the parts as they are not the usual pictures of the little Heinkel which are seen. Not just interesting because you can see seldom viewed areas, but also because of the work on the wings which reveal other colours and markings, especially the ones applied after capture and during testing by the RAF. Enjoy! 😃
  21. Thank you very much for your comments 😃 You are absolutely right! but for some reason Revell have got it wrong too: The instructions show 76 over 65: That is what I did, it was a typo by me in my original post. Thanks again everyone, I really appreciate all your comments, compliments, & observations 😃
