    Culdrose airbase is 15-minute drive from me and this chap is now the gate guardian of Culdrose. See it so often when driving past Amazing build

    This is the perfect results I'm looking for The downfall of the aircraft I'm photographing is a great deal of the aircraft is white, and should I be using a white background. I'll try and take some shots and come back with results using your tips

    Mark I'm looking for just a nice balanced picture with everything in focus. I'm doing magazine reviews but my pictures are just not up to scratch. My builds are to a suitable standard but I'm not getting published as much due to my poor photos

    Hi everyone I'm really struggling with getting good photos. My issue is I'm working on a tight budget with a top end camera phone, to the naked eye my builds look get, but my photos are terrible. I'm using different colour backing cards to get the detail to stand out, but it isn't really working. Any advice that can help (I can't go out and buy a camera) I've attached a couple of images

    Awesome pictures there, and looks really great. Any chance we can see the underside of the model On another note, I saw someone using this photo on their facebook group, a group called Takadotoki Models. I'm curious if you gave permission to use the images?

    it states 1/32 on their website

    Hi guys I'm looking for options in order to build a coastal command B-17 MKII in 1/72 scale I know Academy produced one from the box, but it is a little rare to find, plus I heard it have big issues with the wings. Next stage is if I can use any of the Revell or Airfix recent kits to build one or any other alternative. Any tips?
  9. thepureness
    Does anyone know if this includes the fairing to cover the ball turret? I'm looking to build a coastal command aircraft without the turret

    They did crawl out from their hole recently so the worrying is over. Took them some time to shut down rumors

    Gary Don't take this the wrong way, but many people argue that the Mig-31 is possibly one of the best model kits ever produced. I've got it in my stash and at the moment I'm not brave enough to build it as I want to do it justice. But even looking in the box I'm stunned by the quality.

    It's all good saying this, but if a manufacture becomes inactive over a large duration of time it can be worrying. As I commented above, their kits seem to be on auction sites at inflated prices as well. Now it could be that they are closed due to Chinese New Year and will wake up again in March. But there is fear going around.

    Another issue now if their kits are neing sold on ebay at inflated prices https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F173768188553

    Another rumour is the GWH tomcat is the AMK kit
  15. thepureness
    NIce I like the fact you painted yours with vallejo metal colour as this was the paint I was planning to use for mine
  16. thepureness
    There are rumours on social media that this is, in fact, the AMK kit and GWH have bought the project from AMK, AMK's website has disappeared, their Facebook account has had no updates since November and Martin@AMK who is active on the forums with the Tomcat progress has not been online since November, this is worrying
  17. thepureness
    Part of me is starting to fear the worst on this, AMK's website has now vanished unless anyone else knows an active one
  18. thepureness
    Where did you get the decals? I could swear that those markings should be on a European camo A-10 and not a grey unit
  19. thepureness
    Stunning Those eyelets, did you make them yourself or can they be bought, I would love to build one of this, but the rigging puts me off

    I saw a comic strip on facebook before Christmas that told the story this of kit so far. It was a boy sitting on Santa's lap and Santa asked what he would like for Christmas and the young boy said "World Peace" Santa replied that as much as he would like world peace it would be very hard and asked the young boy for a more realistic gift. The boy replied "I would love the new AMK F-14D Tomcat", to which Santa replied, "Ok let us look at sorting out world peace" But in honesty, I'm sure this is going to be worth the wait, but I do have a really good Hobby Boss F-14D in the stash, and to be honest, it looks a cracking kit too.

    So I've made a good start on getting the main aircraft built over the last week, Cockpit painted, etched added and main fuselage assembled. What I am doing now is adding smaller parts that can be painted when attached to the fuselage and leaving things like airbrakes, undercarriage and pylons off until towards the end. In general, the fit is really good in most places, there is a little filler around the intakes and tail but this is more to tidy the areas and hide any small gaps. Some photos below.

    This is due any moment Instructions are now available here https://stage.revell.de/fileadmin/import/images/bau/04994_%23BAU_F_18E_SUPER_HORNET.PDF

    I'm in that zone where I have no idea and can not think of anything to expect. Flagship release for 2019 has been announced which is not a bad idea and I can see the Hellcat selling, Vulcan and buccaneer would have been Telford still announcements. So I'm expecting something good, but not outside of the box. Hurricane MKII in 1/48 would be nice, we need a new one of those Lysander in 1/72 scale Too early for a Blenheim IVF in 1/48 I think that will be 2020
  24. thepureness
    I am about to build that one!!
  25. thepureness
    About 10 years or more they announced a new tool 1/48 Merlin HC.3 That was canceled without any mention to the public
