  1. In world war two was anti aircraft fire nicknamed archie as it was in WW1
  2. I didn't know that Blenhiems ever carried yellow bombs
  3. Or you could try an Aires replacement they usually supply good after market cockpit sets. Glad to try and help!
  4. Have you tried a coat of matt varnish that may work to cover the blemish's
  5. Wow how did you recreate the wind wear at the bases of the wings?
  6. :boom:A brilliant model at first sight. As I started I realised I didn't have the main cockpit paint Humbrol 31 Slate Grey this was when I had to do a bit of research because usually I thought bf109 e-3 tubs were portrayed in light grey (again). The pieces supplied by airfix were good value, but and a big but the cockpit detail was rather crude, (now if you are thinking of building or thinking of building this model then check out Troy Smith's pics, they were a brilliant help for this modeller, thanks Troy ) after livening up the cockpit a bit with Troys tips I completely redid the seat-belts (which I have to add were awful) using aluminium foil for my replacements. Which were then painted with a mix of Humbrol 71 Satin oak and Humbrol 24 trainer Yellow. Next came the buckles which were much trickier but I eventually finished modelling my new ones from garden wire fashioned with pliers!
  7. What do we think of Eduards New Bf109G-10. Are they overdoing the bad shaping?
  8. Wow that is amazing I never new that there were any Hurricanes with a yellow underside.
  9. Ok! Here is my stupid question, was the prop used on the mk1 the same as the prop used on the Spit Mk1a
  10. on Zan Zumbachs Planes were 'propables' portrayed in Red or Grey?
  11. Wow that looks brill I especially like the foam on the sea how did you achieve that that finish?
  12. Say they did use rubber masks then what would happen to the used ones and why don't we find them now.
  13. Any body got any tips for adding detail for Zan Zumbach's Plane
