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

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

Airfix’s New Big Spitfire (New Photos)
Gisbod replied to Gisbod's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
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… -

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

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
