Hi, here is my first ship. Any critiques welcome and hope you like it. Regards

Visited the Metro MZ today. The lady working there was very pleasant. They stock a nice selection of tools, Humbrol acrylics, a small selection of kits. Word has it they've been doing really well at metro centre so hopefully in the future they'll expand. I did pick up an f35 lightning ii, an airbrush as a stocking filler, and a pot of Humbrol acrylics so I can finally start my god dam tigermeet mirage, which I've been unable to start for months. Hopefully they'll expand. Regards

That phantom looks awesome, I'm going to MZ metrocentre on Friday so look forward to seeing the kits. Being able to get Humbrol acrylics is great news for me as well. I must say, by the comments on the Internet and by the photos, the kits look very thin on the ground but it's early days. Regards

You've done a great job here and the scheme is super. I love the underside and the decals make the build even better. Regards

Lovely looking harrier. In my opinion the panel lines are perfect, in fact, I can't think of a new(ish) airfix kit with too deep lines. The camoflauge on this is super too. Top marks

Certainly looks interesting. The scheme you are to do is very industrial looking so I'm happy. Regards

That looks great, let's hope the other stores are as big. Needed a pot of red acrylic paint for my hobby boss 1:350 USS Arizona and was going to go to Metros WHMZ but was worried it wasn't opened yet so opted to go to hobbycraft instead. BTW, hobbycraft have sold tons of kits judging by the state of the shelves in some areas, the starter sets were almost all gone. Can anyone answer, do they sell revell aqua?

This is awesome, I've seen a very similar kit in a model shop and your model definitely has prompted me to get it. So, thanks, more money on models. Your rusting and weathering is what has sealed the deal for me. Great work

Excelent build. You can never have too many sea kings. Absolutely classic aircraft. This livery is great and you've done a super job on the paint.

This is awesome. It looks great on the screen but I imagine it's awesome in the plastic. I imagine building a 1:32 scale helicopter is horribly laborious but the outcome, like this, must be brilliant. Absolutely top work. Regards

These are lovely builds. I've got to get a lightning to the stash, im working on it. Great work. They are super aircraft but I doubt very much I'll ever see one flying. Regards

Thanks, it's certainly a lovely scheme, but unfortunately a Eurocopter carries this scheme now as the bell's have been retired. They've gone on to other things though. Regards

Thanks, surprisingly the orange was lovely to paint. I was worried it would be awful but it wasn't. Had visions of it being like the orange I applied on my gnat but thankfully it was nothing like it. Regards

Hi all, here is my recently completed bell 212. These are beautiful helicopters and ive got fond memories of one at the sunderland airshow, but not in this livery. I hope you like her.

White paint is like painting with water so your paint work is super. Regards

This looks stunning. The mix of colours is very eye catching, top, top marks. Regards

Lovely, clean, striking build. I almost bought one of these the other day. The decals on these, as well as all the newer airfix kits are sensational, very bright, sharp and true to life. Great build. Regards

Excellent build, it's certainly nice to see a mustang in a different scheme. Very nice. Regards

Hey, this is a smashing build. If all your brush painted builds were like this, I'd oust the airbrush. Very good. Regards

Where did you get this at that price. Very cheap. I've got a couple of biplanes in my stash and this one looks very smart. Regards

Thanks for the appreciation folks, I enjoyed making but loved doing the weathering. It's certainly one of the things I love doing the most, where I can. I've another ZERO to do, a different type, but I don't think I'll be starting it anytime soon as I've got far too many kits to build as the stash is getting embarrassing and I need to stop adding to it for a while, well, 2 or 3 kits every trip where I can buy them is okay, isn't it. Regards

Thanks busdriver, very nice comment. Regards

Hi all, after a few weeks with no modelling activity due to an illness disrupting my modelling, im finally back on track with regards to making models. Here is my mitsubishi zero which im over the moon with; im very happy with the heavy weathering. I hope you like it, regards

Metrocentres WHMZ will be opening in 2 or 3 weeks and will occupy the top floor at the back so should be an aisle or 2. Let's hope they have good custom and decide to expand the modelling section. I suppose if there is great success Modelzone might have more of a presence than just in WHSmith. Regards

Excellent build. I agree, never too many spitfires, but this also applies to hurricanes, at least to me. Regards
