Hi all, I’ve had some fogging issues on canopies recently, never had it before, not CA related, I’m just wondering if it’s to do with lacquer finishes? I guess a small amount of fumes get inside through sponge masking or other areas but whatever it is, it’s not ideal! Any ideas? Thanks Guy

Hi George, yep the new tool, it’s a very nice kit… Guy

Yep, I’ve been racing through projects, trying to clear my bench for some Wingnut Wings kits I’ve acquired 😀 Thanks, they’re probably a bit overdone tbh, but I like the look anyway and it’s a lazy way of modelling really, saves masking! Guy

Hi all, The latest Dambuster boxing from Airfix… Cheers Guy

Thanks all, They’re all 1:72… Guy

Thanks John, I don’t mean mine, but I do agree, there’s nowhere to hide! But, obviously, there are some weathered works of art out there too.. Hi, MRP are my go to paints.. I love ‘em! Masks made by a talented friend… Guy

Hi again, Built these a few weeks back and thought I may as well share… The new Airfix Post War boxing Tempest, another lovely little kit that is a ton of fun to build! Both schemes A&B shown… And as a sweetener.. The diminutive Spitfire from the new gift box offering… Thanks for looking, Guy

Just to prove I had done the canopy… And a cockpit shot… I realise the belts look a bit ‘Christmas Ribbon’ but I do like them viewed as an overview of the model…

Just realised I forgot to put the bubble canopy on! Doh! Guy ps to be fair - none of you noticed!

Thanks guys… To be honest, I don’t know, I didn’t try, I never intended them to be with the model.. Guy

Thanks George, re the crow bar, I just placed it as per the photo they sent me. Yep, I do too, I’m not against weathered at all, but I seem to be morphing towards clean builds lately, they just look nicer to me in my dotage. It was quite nice to have the chance to model a clean aircraft and not have to justify it! Ah, it was all down to the masks maker Fredrik! 😀 Guy

Ah, I must catch up on that, thanks. Ah, thanks Rob, covered in fingerprints in the flesh.. 😆 Guy

Hi all, Just finished this, to replicate RR232 currently based at Goodwood. This kit is Airfix’s finest to date, great fit, nice detail and the stressed skin effect is exceptionally well rendered. Thanks for looking… Guy

Evening, The engine is pretty much done, just a few tweaks needed… Guy

Yep, I know it looks wrong but it does look better in real life! If you could get the same thing in a more olive drab/ Matt look it would be really great… Guy
