Hi folk's these two nearly done this one finished and just the canopy to finish on the other.

Hi folk's my youngest got me this for my Birthday so as I pulled the Skyhawk from the GB thought why not build these two side by side as painting wise it makes sense. Box art and extra sprue which contains the anti submarine search equipment and two nice colourful tail options in the box.

Cheer's Troy.

Hi folk's,you know I love a challenge so I saw this for £9 inc postage and knowing it's pedigree wasn't expecting much but thought we probably wouldn't see one in the GB,anyway colour me shocked it's basic but not at all bad,recessed panel lines decent shape lovely canopy the only odd thing is the half dozen camera ports have no glass so inventive thinking required maybe clearfix? One option supplied the box top French air force.

Done a good few Col and the only ones to avoid are the Spitfire's,let down by the worst oversize ill fitting canopies.This kit gives open or closed options but the open canopy is very thin and flimsy in fact it snapped cutting it off the sprue so closed canopy much better and will be used.Primed in black then as with the Fury two brushed coats of sea blue after the cockpit,wheel wells and interior of the engine cover were painted green.

Overcommitted to our GB calander as usual so will have to give this one a miss.....................Nah no chance got an Esci F-16 in the stash in Isreali marking's for a kick off and there's a 1/48 Esci Mirage lV buried in the cupboard.

I'll find something before October

Hi folk's,as you can probably guess only half an hour to get to this stage of the build with these easy-kits.,primer on tomorrow! think I'll get a Hellcat f before the GB is over.

Thank's Dave look forward to whatever you have in the pipeline! Never built or seen this kit but for year's come close to buying or bidding on one so really looking forward to it's arrival.

That's a superb build and finish great job.

I have a few Col but something a bit different is in order once I check the box out to see if it's all there.

Thank's Pat,no decal's just loads of masking! Always a worry John but rare from King kit so hopefully all will be fine. I do like e-bay for being able to see in the box for such issues.

Hi folk's here's a taste of the kit,as you can see it's an old boxing. Decals are fine and the moulding is nicely done. As a coincidence I started a couple of Hasegawa oldies a few weeks ago a frog re-box of the Skyhawk and the Kfir which I'm planning both in IDF camo.

Many thank's Pat got a bit more done today,the undercart is quite complicated but as you would expect from Tamiya went together a treat,

Hi folk's another classic this time from the stash,Ill pop a few photo's on later when I get back from picking my youngest up from work.

Hi folk's had to finally have a go at building this kit so good old King Kit to the rescue should be here later this week then I'll post the sprue's.

Hi folk's many apologies I'm going to move this one over to the Classic Japanese GB saving me having to shell out for a kit in these hard times! Fear not I have a very interesting replacement in mind.

Another Master class in truck building to come Jeroen!

Superb,don't know how many times I've bid and lost out on these little group of 1/32 inter war fighter's from Hasegawa.

I'd be in on this one definitely.

Thank's Cliff I'd certainly be up for building another probably a PR version.

Yes Pete as soon as I pick the thing up I,m doing the theme music.

Hi folk's.Hasegawa Mirage F1 from the eighties. Tamiya 1/48 Raiden from 1973 would you believe. Tamiya Panther which as Enzo has stated 1968 which has really shocked me as it's still a cracking kit.

Damn we were in the LMS as Luke was looking at Tamiya kit's fitting the criteria I popped a look in the 1/48 A-10 warthog box and thought it a strong contender for my build sadly it was a 1991 release if only they had been quicker!

Hi folk's,it's very unerving when glossing to see the different shades disappear but the final matt coat always puts this right,decals were fine but make sure to cut off as much of the clear portion they silver like mad even on a well glossed surface.
