  1. It's really smart. The Lightning looks a lot better in flight.
  2. This looks interesting, to say the least, I'l be watching your progress (in a nice way). Good luck.
  3. That's really smart. I particularly admire the framing on the nose, did you mask and airbrush?
  4. I've been following this since the begining and your work has left me pretty much speechless. I thought I ought to comment as I suspect I'll be completely incapable of typing with what'll be coming.
  5. That's really smart. I particularly like the combination of US roundels and RAF fin flash. Seeing all the Sword Kittyhawks, makes me think about doing the twin pack I have in the stash.
  6. I've always liked the Airfix Mosquito and you've made a good job of it.
  7. That looks really good, it doesn't look like you struggle with a paintbrush.
  8. I hope so... particularly one in 1/72.
  9. I like the Wellesley (it's the forgotten ancestor of the Wellington and, for those who know their history, a clever name) so I'm happy to see some-one release one and even happier to see one in 1/72, although I would've thought Revell would have the moulds and released one but perhaps they think it wouldn't sell. I've been bidding on e***y on Matchbox ones, to no avail, so it looks like I'll either have to try my hand at a Valom kit or hope that it's release will flush out some Matchbox ones at reasonable prices (I'm extremely tight and don't like paying more than a model cost when it was first released).
  10. I was impressed by your build, I'm impressed by the finished article. Plus, The Big Lebowski is a great film.
  11. That looks splendid. I have the same boxing awaiting assembly, once I've completed some Tomahawks, so thanks for the warning about the decals.
  12. Nothing like learning from your mistakes. I generally quite like the AZ Spitfires, having nearly made a Spit VI (it got destroyed when I knocked a pot of glue over it) and actually completed a Spit V, although I haven't plucked-up the courage to make my XIVe (the same one you have) as I don't want to b***er it up when I haven't got another. Anyway, carry-on with the build and treat it as a learning process for the others. Simon (edited to correct spelling)
  13. That doesn't put me off. I hope you haven't binned it because I'll be happy to take it off your hands.
  14. I was hoping to see how this progressed as I have the same kit in the stash.
  15. They both look really good. I brush paint too, I have an airbrush but can't be bothered with cleaning it and my modelling is purely recreational and I use Klear as a gloss varnish not the stuff that sells for crazy prices on eB*y but 500ml bottles that I buy from the local Asda (other supermarkets are available). I like the other stuff you've done, I'm off to buy a Revell (ex-Matchbox) Lysander.
  16. I have assembled the same kit, in the same scheme, and enjoyed it a lot; until I got to the decals, I thought they were too green so replaced them. Otherwise it's a nice little kit, despite the wing chord issue, and you've made a fine job of it.
  17. They're both nice-looking but I prefer the IIa, possibly because I'm obsessed with the Airfix kit (I'm on my 10th and 11th).
  18. I can only echo what other's have already said. It looks great and it's hard to beleive it's 1/72nd scale.
  19. That's fantastic. I have one of these in the stash, and that's where it's staying until I forget you one.
  20. I followed the WIP and was very impressed by your modelling skills. The end result is brilliant.
  21. That's really smart, I'd be more than happy to have that good a result.
  22. An AH-64 flew west over Folkestone this morning (about 11 am).
