Beautiful finish, very impressed. One of those "why didn't I think of that" models. Cheers -

Ferguson Petit Gris - Heller 1/24
Blackfordhibby replied to loloskymaster's topic in Ready For Inspection - Vehicles
Most impressive in fact it''s stunning! I wish that I had half the skill to get anywhere near the finish displayed on both these models. Sometimes I have to admit that i'm looking at something special. Peter -
Resin kits - any idiot can do it (aka HMS Scorpion S-class destroyer in 1/350)

Hello Jamie This is so different I will just have to watch. Never thought that i'd have any interest in a grey funnel line ship, but there ya go! Peter -
Merlin engined Spitfire passed over Dunning, Perthshire 16:45 ish. Going east, possibly to Scone or Dundee but could be anywhere. Not a scooby where it came from other than the west. First one i've ever seen, out of an airshow environment. Peter

Too many 1/72 Hobbyboss F-14 Tomcats
Blackfordhibby replied to Tony Oliver's topic in Work in Progress - Aircraft
Tony The fact that they are 72nd makes them more impressive to me. I didn't take in the size of the paints etc to give me the scale. As I said.....just wasn't observant, in the jungle i'd be dinner. I stick to 72nd for space reasons as well. I wholeheartedly agree regarding bog standard squadron aircraft, (not just F-14s) there just aren't enough. No doubt the manufacturers will have sussed that CAG aircraft etc catch the eye and sell more. I don't know if it is the same story with British aircraft and squadrons, others will know that answer.I suppose that we should be pleased with the choice of kit manufacturers that are available. Though I do like a wee grumble! Cheers, Peter- 596 replies

Too many 1/72 Hobbyboss F-14 Tomcats
Blackfordhibby replied to Tony Oliver's topic in Work in Progress - Aircraft
Tony 24 pages later it has finally dawned on me that these Tomcats are 72nd. Always just assumed they were 48th, observant or what? Have to go back to the start and re-read it all, in a different light. Peter- 596 replies

Lovely scheme, well executed, you can be justifiably proud of that one. Peter -
Welcome to the Jungle – RA-5C Vigilante - completed
Blackfordhibby replied to trickyrich's topic in Carriers Ahoy! GB
Though not my scale, I will definitely be following this one. The mid sixties experimental jungle schemes for USN aircraft has always held a bit of fascination for me. Good luck with the build, not something to be taken lightly I would imagine. The size alone, makes it daunting to me. Peter- 122 replies

If I had a hat, I'd take it off to you. What a lovely rendition of such an iconic aircraft. Well it's iconic IMHO, you can be justifiably proud of that model. Peter
