Lovely! I remember these flying out of Manston too - I lived only a few miles away and they were always buzzing around. Cheers Malcolm

At last I can see the pictures - I had to upgrade the OS on my Mac but it was about time I did that anyway! And it is indeed, as many have said, a lovely piece of work on what is a very old kit. I too had one of these when it was new and it was a nightmare for my dad and I to make something half decent out of. It never looked in any way as good as this one though - exceptional work Marcus Cheers Malcolm

Beautiful Caravelle Einar - a stunning model of a beautiful aeroplane. Looks wonderful in those markings too! Cheers Malcolm

Well it looks pretty darn good from here Pete - a great effort for someone who hasn't built for a long time. Cheers Malcolm

Lovely clean build and a stunning colour scheme. Looks great! Cheers Malcolm

Darn it! I wish I could see the post but I don't see anything at all - no pictures, no SpacerPNG, no nothing - I wish I could because I loved this kit as a kid. Oh well..........I'm sure it's great Cheers Malcolm

Beautiful work as usual Mathy. Looks an impressive kit - though I wish the Tomcatters still flew Tomcats! Cheers Malcolm

Absolutely beautiful Bf 110 Tolga. Superb build and detailing followed by sensational finish and weathering. Very very impressive and inspirational - I have one to build myself. Cheers Malcolm

Utterly stunning model from the very old Frog derived kit! Exceptional detailing and finish - it really is superb. Well don! Cheers Malcolm

Another lovely Viggen Jan. A spectacular scheme too! Cheers Malcolm

Lovely result Simon, nice build, detail and weathering - really like the pilot. I like your colours too - they look right to my eye based on the many bits of crashed examples I have seen over the years - I would hazard a guess at Mr Hobby H72/73 for the topsides? I built one of these a while back and agree - a nice Kit. The only thing I don't like, aside from the horrible plastic which Airfix use, is the treatment of the wing trailing edges (as mentioned also by Josip) - It's about time that Airfix came into the 21st Century and designed kits in the way the likes of Tamiya and Eduard do to give a sharper result. Nice collection of B of B types coming along there too - probably a Bf 109E for the opposition? but I guess also that a Defiant will be on the cards? Cheers Malcolm

A really nicely built and finished Jan - Love it. I like you advice about Chromate Yellow - I will look at that myself in the future. Love the Viggen and we miss it at airshows here in the UK. I would love a Viggen in my collection - how was the Special Hobby kit to build? If I build one I will probably finish mine in a grey scheme - way less masking! Cheers Malcolm

Not my scale but that is a stunning result Libor - beautifully detailed and finished! Cheers Malcolm

Certainly worth the effort Pete - that looks excellent! Great finish and lovely subtle weathering. Cheers Malcolm

LOL! Thank you Russ - I will give brush painting a go for metallics some time - I have done some experimenting in the past with some success. Cheers Malcolm

Beautiful build and finish as usual Russ On the subject of using Humbrol 191 and 11 - I have never been very successful at spraying these - always seem to end up with a very grainy looking finish. Would be interested how you achieve your finish. Cheers Malcolm

Stunning job CF. Beautifully built and weathered. Extremely convincing and superb photography too! Cheers Malcolm

Very nice looking Tonka - very nice build and finish quality. Nicely done weathering too. Looks great in the scheme! Cheers Malcolm

Cool! Neat conversion work and the Herk looks great in that scheme! Well done! Cheers Malcolm

Wow! Beautiful Tomcat Barzin - lovely build quality and your colours look really convincing. And what a super collection you have built! So what will be next? Perhaps an F-4D to keep the F-4E company? Cheers Malcolm

Cool looking Spitfire Dmitry and some interesting additional information. thanks! Cheers Malcolm

Really excellent build and finish. Realistic weathering and convincing metal areas. Great model!!! Cheers Malcolm

It's back up now Einar Cheers Malcolm

Not my scale at all but that is a stunningly beautiful model of a beautiful aeroplane. Superb detailing and outstanding finish just add to the quality. I am very impressed! As a matter of interest - have Authentic Airliners disappeared? - I have been unable to get to their website for a few days. Cheers Malcolm
