[RAF Phantom graves]

So sad

[Ok everybody- stand back]

[*]Scream like a big baby (like some did about the Dragon P-51D) and throw the whole lot in the bin

[*]Sell your kit(s - you couldn't resist buying lots, could you?) on eBay, and do something completely different, like an F-18 - you couldn't get more different really, could you? Well, unless you exclude helicopters & every other kit of the world's aircraft that you usually ignore.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

I dare you, I double dare you to post this

[Soppy the Camel]

That last close-up is brilliant - it looks like proper beaten panels! Fantastic

[Problems with spraying Acrylics]

But I like enamels

I doubt that will work on the EU Technocrats

[Hasegawa 1:32 P-47]

Well thanks to the suggestion from our very own Gary West I'm off to Coningsby tomorrow so a 1:32 P-47 is not on the shopping list until I've re-couped the petrol cost on my jaunt. However it is the end of the month, I'm on leave, and I have a shed-load of overtime coming to me, so who can say !!

PM inbound Ian. And Newark Air Museum with its fantastic model shop is just down the road from Coningsby....

[Mig pigments]

I've tried pastel chalks with 0% success

[Ok then - What's the subject going to be]

Spoilt for choice as to what I will enter....

1/76 Universal Carrier Ambulance (probly in Diorama)?

1/72 Dragon Sherman Firefly?

1/76 Matchbox Churchill AVRE?

1/35 Dragon Sherman Firefly?

1/35 Tamiya Centaur IV?

1/76 Milicast Black Prince?

1/76 Milicast Tortoise?

[Mig pigments]

go to the MiG website, there are a couple of UK importers, but I forget who right now.

[Mig pigments]

I have found them very easy to use, and the results they give are excellent. Even for a muppet like me, a very realistic weathering job can be done with the minimum of effort.

[Hasegawa 1:32 P-47]

And if Revell rebox it, it will be even cheaper!!!!

Thankfully Hasegawa are running out of Nazi subjects to do in 1/32, so hopefully we'll see a few more allied subjects from them.

[Airfix SuE]

That undercart looks *very* realistic. Top stuff.

[Attacking the Attacker.]

Just remember Leigh, modelling is fun, modelling is fun......

[Another Mustaing for the stable]

Shiny! What metallic finish is that?

[Academy 1/48 F-111. New day for a old kit!]

Going to be an E from RAF Upper Heyford, my old Alma Mata!

How's your hearing? For me those beasts were the loudest things in the sky back in the 80s - real window rattlers.

[Hasegawa 1:32 P-47]

Hannants have it listed at a very reasonable £27 - which fits in with the price range of their other new tool warbirds in 1/32

I'll certainly be getting one and eagerly await some FEAF decals

[Dynavector TSR.2]

Of course the sooner you build it, the sooner Trumpeter will release it in 1/48

[Tamiya Spitfire Vb Trop]

Very nicely done Love the exhausts and the their staining.

Should the wheel wells be Azure Blue though?

[Problems with spraying Acrylics]

As I've said before, best get a solution in the next 2 years, cos by then enamels will be a thing of the past in Europe...

[Sopwith Pup build]

Its very hard to get a sense of scale from in-progress photos, but this one looks really small. But still nice

[Soppy the Camel]

Gorgeously splendiferous!

What kit and scale?

Biplanes scare me.

[Paint transfer from tin to bottle/cup]

Working in a lab has its advantages

[Halifax in 1/72]

Wow, I can only sit back in admiration (and jealousy) of such craftsmanship!

[Airfix Acrylic paint]

Yep, saw the big advert in SAMI, looks like a pretty comprehensive range

[Life is a beach...]

cool stuff!

[Hellenic RF4-E]

Nice bang seats
