Probably not that many bare metal Airfix Boston builds on here

Make that never any Airfix Boston build's on here Rob! Great job on a kit most would run away from nowadays,a possible contender for an Airfix new tool in the future?

[South African Hawker Hurricane Mk I (Arma 1/72)]

Lovely build and a hell of a collection too!

[Academy 1/48 MH-6 WIF]

Love it,a rare sight here very different and a superb paint job too!

Can't agree more, Steve.They are remarkable products in their own style.They make,or made, a number of 1:48 planes in the easy range too.if your not a stickler for 1:72 only, I'd recommend them esp the P38.Unbelivably easy to build compared to some of the complicated breakdowns of some kit's of the type.The moulding technology is nothing short of spectacular.

Your Corsair is a splendid example of what can be done with them.

Bravo

Thanks Rob,I've built the P51,P47 and the 109G in the bigger scale great kits for the price might have to look out for the Lightning now.

[Persistent Presence, Armed Overwatch]

Great choice Chris not often we see this type of aircraft in a GB let alone in RFI.

[Rivet Joint]

Nice one Ray can't wait to see this one come together!

Hi folk's to save anyone trawling through the build I'll just post the photo explaining the change of title.

 

 

[Israeli RF-4E 'Orev' - Italeri 1/48]

This should be a great build I've been sneaking a peak in the boxes I can see one of these in my build future some great schemes.Good luck

Hi folk's,love them or hate them these kit's are as cheap as chip's ideal for mojo restoring when you get bogged down on bigger subject's and for those

wanting to hone painting skills.This is the Korean war version,after priming in black it was brush painted sea blue then I passed over a few streaks of slightly

lighter blue rocket's added and there she is probably less than three hour's over a few days to complete for the Salty Sea Dog GB.

Hi folk's Corsair Korean war scheme HB 1/72 easy-kit.

 

 

 

 

 

[Hobbyboss 1/72 Corsair Korean war.XXXXFinishedXXXX]

Hi folk's,finished today Gallery photo's later after work.

 

[Hobbyboss FW 190 A6 and A8 Easykit's.]

Afternoon folk's my contribution's to the 190 GB is two easykit 190's,great kit's for a quick assembly point of view especially if like me painting is the 

favourite part of the process,thanks for looking in.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Hobbyboss 1/72 FW190 A-6/8 pair.XXXXFinishedXXXX]

Hi folk's second one finished and in the gallery,might be back later in the GB so annoyed the D fell by the wayside so might have another crac at that one and I've seen an A6

captured by the Russian's which I have the decal's to reproduce.

 

[Focke Wulf FW 190 Gallery]

Hi folk's second of the Hobbyboss easy-kit pair,don't quote me on colours as I've seen endless variations of colours on mainly model's of this unit but fun build none the less.

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Minicraft (Hasagawa) Mig-17, ca. 1979...]

Nice one John one of my favourite kits too,shout out if the decal's fall short sure to have some spare's from my recent Mig fest.

[Tamiya Dambuster Lancaster 1:48th]

Superb choice Paul,one of those kit's I think most of us would love to have a go at before we call it a day modelling wise,always mega expensive in my mind but now a modern

1/48 jet kit would outstrip it so now really good value for money for what you can pick them up for.

[Paris Air Show Kfir C.2 - Hasegawa 1/72]

Good choice Luke especially with that recon version the base kit is old but a good one none the less.

[Hobbyboss 1/72 Corsair Korean war.XXXXFinishedXXXX]

Evening folk's,painted and fitted the rocket's bit of a pain doimg the canopy as HB have no framework moulded on so all done with masking tape and brush.Think to finish her I'll tone down the airframe with a satin coat and do a bit more weathering.

 

[Hasegawa 1/72 Fuji T1a. Has returned!]

Hi folk's well it had to happen,never had a problem ever with KK and I know they do state sometimes the boxing can be different but what arrived was a very

ancient issue in poor condition shot decals and a pebbled canopy not worth wasting time on really so I'll keep the thread and look for a replacement.

What was worst with the decals Steve?

 

Just very thin Col so any panel lines etc the white serial's cover took some fettling as they had a patchy look ended up putting pin pricks in the worst areas to squeeze the air out,

two of the stars broke up luckily I had spares.

[Esci 1/48 Fury.XXXFinishedXXXX]

Evening folk's calling her done,I'll have a check over tomorrow in a better light but happy enough.

 

[Hobbyboss 1/72 Corsair Korean war.XXXXFinishedXXXX]

Hi folk's,decal's on and not a pleasurable experience which is unusual for HB.
