Evening folk's my third build will be my first ever Tamiya kit in 1/72 scale,I bought it before Christmas as my LMS does 20% of this range only just noticing the Coastal Command scheme so a perfect excuse for building it here's the box and the scheme is pictured in the instructions.

Just found this folk's for any Heller fans new moulds on the way. (7) Heller Product News 2023 - YouTube

Çheers Pat I have a Frog Venom in mind too we'll see how the first two go.

This looks a great project I was bought their 1/32 Yak 3 for Christmas so can vouch for the quality they are achieving with their molds these days.

Yes noticed your planned build Dave I did the HC kit many moons ago it is superior to Airfix's offering and the later Gull Gray scheme look's great.

Hi folk's another build will be the twin seater Skyhawk another nice kit despite it's age.Molded in white plastic which bodes well for the white box top scheme.

Morning folk's I'll be keeping the Oldies flag flying with a few build's for this one starting with the Recce version of the Banshee.I built the standard version a while back so know it's a nice stress free build only the removal of the nose section to worry about.

That is a stunning build quality paintwork too!

Many thanks Bruce.It's sewing thread bought at a craft shop they had a few different sizes that one looked about right!

Many thanks Mike and apologies too.

Hi folk's the Matchbox GB took me to June then I had a barren period while co hosting the Revell GB the hot weather made the loft out of bounds and the missus broke her leg so here's what came in the second half of the year. Airfix 1/72 Red Arrow Hawk T1. Eurofighter Prototype Revell 1/72. Airfix Shooting Star. A couple of Airfix 1/72 Thunderstreak's. Frog's 1/72 Meteor. Hobbyboss F-86 easykit. Airfix Mig17 and 15. PM Flagon for the Blitzbuild. A couple of Hobbyboss Mig 15 easykits. And finally Tiger Hobbies F-5 in Iranian colours.

Sorry folk's bit of a glitch here goes. 1/48 Fury And the 1/72 kit's Did manage a Tamiya 1/35 Sherman And a Matchbox Char B and Renault. And end of part one takes us to July and Trumpeter's 1/32 Mig 3.

Hi Folk's been a bit of a stop start year with a flurry of kits in the Matchbox GB at the start of the year a dead loss Summer then a strong finish thanks to the Prototype's GB so off to Matchbox land for the start.3 1/32 Bf109's to kick off this review.

Hi folk's,after the Hasegawa decals self destructed on the F-16 I thought no use wasting time on this one if Heller let me down too but despite their age so far so good!

Cheer's Jabba I'm on the case of replacement if possible.

DAMN! Decal fail looks like it's put an end to this one,I'll see if there's anything out there but I'm not very hopeful.

Look's pretty productive to me Ali, Quality workmanship on every one!

Beautiful work Stew love those big scale Migs in particular.

Evening folk's,progressing well with this project the main colours are on sprayed the upper and lower gray's brushed the green.the tail area and wingtip's are red and white stripes which no decals are supplied so the white has been sprayed as you can see.The nose is striped in the colours of the Belgian flag so with this in mind I also sprayed that area and it's got the first coat of yellow has been done now.

Hi folk's I thought due to the paint scheme a white primer might make life easier so after a spot or two of filler she's done.

Evening folk's,really enjoying this kit plus it's been a long time since I tackled a prop fighter,anyway hopefully a couple more session's should see her done. The wash really got into the panel lines and brought the detailing out nicely.

Thanks John she's under a coat of primer now looking forward to getting the final colours on.

Evening folk's,made a start with the cockpit and wheels. And good progress on the fuselage wing assembly.

Cheer's Craig,nothing more than the average cold symptoms thankfully.

This is looking terrific Craig,great paintwork.
