  1. Hello, I'd agree about the Airfix Hawk - the panel lines are way over done. I built a 1/72 Hawk a few years ago and used the Revell kit. Not bad, but quite a few parts need quite a bit of filling and many of the smaller parts have a lot of flash that needs cleaning up. Ultimately though, it looks like a Hawk. I also did a thread if you want to have a read: Matt
  2. Another couple of projects on the bench at the moment. Palbrick etched wagon kit: Old Airfix Lowmac being upgraded: SPV ex-blue spot parcels van from the Parkside kit: Old Lima CCT undergoing some upgrades to improve the underframe: Matt
  3. Wow, I've not updated this for a long time! I've been busy though with plenty of stock on or leaving the workbench. Parkside Open Wagon: Scratchbuilt Gannet ballast wagon: Triang Cowan's Sheldon crane rebuild: Couple of 13t open wagons - one is kitbuilt, one is a repainted and detailed Bachmann: Scratchbuilt Izal Palvan: Detailed Lima Fertiliser Wagon: Detailed and repainted Bachmann OBA wagon: Matt
  4. Thanks for the comments - sorry for the (very) belated reply! As mentioned, I sold the completed model but RM evidently took a dislike to it and destroyed it in transit. Luckily I do have the photos - my model also featured in a magazine so I have that to remember it by too. Matt
  5. Sorry for the delay in replying. Here are some pictures of the completed model - I'm not sure if I ever did a RFI topic. Unfortunately the model is no more - got destroyed by Royal Mail! Matt
  6. Thank you for the comments @Wulfman, @georgeusa and @wellsprop. Glad you like the RN scheme!
  7. @Samuraiwarrior, @RupertTheBear and @Roberto thanks very much for the positive comments! @Roberto
  8. Thanks for the positive comments, much appreciated! Let's hope the next model doesn't also take 7 years! Matt
  9. Hi all, Only took 7 years to finish this! Started originally just after the kit was released and worked on in fits and starts ever since. For some reason I just never had the motivation to finish it until now. Matt
  10. Exhausts painted and fitted tonight. Hopefully get the rear section of the canopy masked up tomorrow. Matt
  11. 6 years and counting... Finally standing on her own wheels. Matt
  12. According to FB, this book is now being printed and will be available/delivered soon.
  13. Hi all, Not posted in a while, but I have been plodding along in the background! And a whole new scale to me - O gauge: Thanks for looking Matt
