    Learn something new every day, never knew there was two Lockheed Orion aircraft
  2. thepureness
    Yes, the P-3 Orion,

    Completely missed this one, is there any photos of the test sprues of the Orion. The old Hasegawa kit with is raised detail is quite old and would be nice to see a big Orion in new tooling again

    I would mention that the painting instructions for options two, the 8th 3rd BG aircraft is incorrect. This aircraft was not all over olive drab but all over the place. The box art image almost gets it correct. This is Revell's painting instructions for the same aircraft

    Looks awesome But how did you get your hands on the test shots? I'm curious how some modellers are lucky enough to grab test shots of models before the general public

    just started this beast myself. looks awesome

    Nocool, I've been unfortunately myself to fall foul of this rule myself. I have a sieve for a memory and fell foul twice in the space of few weeks. Just check check and double get the forums to make sure you haven't got a historic post up, in my case one of the posts was 8 months old.

    If their 1/72 kits are anything to go by then the 1/48 kit will be a cracker, slowly drawn away from the kitty hawk option, but kitty hawk still have some good subjects on route

    I have reason to believe the Alpha is the kinetic kit
  10. thepureness
    I'm not a big fan of kitty hawk, but their choice of subjects recently is getting better and better, They are doing so much research in to plugging gaps in the market they get profit from. The Su-25, getting up to date Hind's and Hip's out. The havoc's etc This is extremely promising and while I do question their quality at times, this is the type of move to bring me back as a customer

    What about water based weathering products like florey models clay washes
  12. thepureness
    I want to revive this old topic as I'm trying to source a good matt varnish that I can use with water based weathering products Can this be sprayed over alclad aqua gloss?

    Interesting points there, In my case I looked around for some references, the payload I copied from two other build kit online but thats for point that out as I can change the payload

    Hi everyone, now I've sorted out my photo sharing issues I'm pleased to share my build from earlier this year. This is the Trumpeter Su-24M Fencer D in 1/72 scale. Truly a great kit and one of Trumpeters best 1/72 kits. Kit is painted in Tamiya X-2 semi gloss white for the undersides, a 60/40 mix of GSI 308 and 317, Matt white used on radom. Master pitot tube and eduard etched for the interior and undercarriage doors. The was a personal build which found itself in a magazine so needed to keep the photos until the review had been published for a while. I'm still learning to take photos and what backgrounds work best so apologies if photos are a little poor

    But on another note that would be a stunning kits and I hope they issue the A-26K Counter Invader use in the Vietnam war. Would be looking at approx 47cm length, 66cm Wingspan. It's a big bird but not B-24/B-17 size.

    You've never had the chance to build the Trumpeter 1/32 Dauntless which is quite simply a master piece of kit detail, engineering and accuracy. It is by a far their best kit to date and feedback it is their best kit ever. Trumpeter and Hobby Boss have what I would call an A Team, B Team and C Team. The A Team are by far their best team and have produced some quite marvellous kits. The Dauntless mentioned above, their Me 262 series, Swordfish to name a few The B Team are good but might get a slight issue on one or two details, The A-7E Corsair with the doggy nose but everything else on the money, the A-10 Thunderbolt Then their is Team C who have used a 5 years old's drawing as the CAD design and create a monstrosity of a kit, Vampire springs to mind. They have built some stunning kits but their is some terrible ones too, it is just know which ones.

    Hi everyone. I've picked up Revell's boxing or the dragon BF-110C kit that has just been issued. Originally my intention was to build the box are version but the decal for the wasp on the from looks far to fragile to sit over the cannon nose even with a ton of settling solution. So i've looking at aftermarket decals and see there is loads of decals for the C/D. Does anyone know what the main different between the C/D was? Most websites state the D was the long range version of the C but doesn't detail any cosmetic differences

    I just purchased the 1/72 Warning star for just £25 brand new, yes the kit is old but it comes with a whole new decal sheet produced by a 3rd party and the decals are stunning along with the stencil data. The 3rd party is called Plus model, so it now comes with the same decals which were in that huge expensive multimedia boxing of the kit by Plus Model

    Looks awesome in the box But I did have a concern with someone building the kit on a Facebook group which showed a warped fuselage, which for the price we wouldn't expect
  20. thepureness
    Glorious to see this and possibly a Cornish based aircraft as well on the box art. Mr Shackleton is very happy
  21. thepureness
    Thanks, and what paints did you use?
  22. thepureness
    I'm obsessed with Russian aircraft and the Frogfoot is one of my favorite looking aircraft. A fantastic piece of work, a masterclass of a build. Legendary Can I ask, where the decals from the box?

    I once knew an Irish electrician who worked for the United State Prison Service. He was recently sacked for disposing of all the eletric chairs because he felt they were in his eyes "a death trap".
  24. thepureness
    Saw this on Facebook yesterday. I surely hope so, no mention of scale
  25. thepureness
    Nice result!! But that is Southeast Asia command markings and not Indian air forces, SEAC was a branch of the British Royal Airforce. Which I believe was all the Commonwealth countries fighting in that area. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but that is my understanding
