J ust spent the last 20mins sudying this build ,learning some excellent tips on the way, had never thought of looking for a paper model and using it as a template for plastic. Cracking job, looking forward to more installments and any future builds along these lines.

Are you sure they are just new backgrounds, the new pics look really bright like a new paint job, they look fantastic.

very nice

very nice pair of trojans you now have

cheers Don will check them out, thought cobra had gone didnt know someone had the moulds

many thanks for taking the time to respond.

Wow all your painting by brush, didnt think so looking at your builds, how do you get those soft edges on some of the camo jobs such as your vnaf a1-e.?

Nice camo, did you airbrush or brush paint it free hand or mask it.?

Hi gents, I recently found a long forgotten about matchbox skyraider in the attic, my initial thoughts were to sell it but these have now turned to building it. Doing a bit of research i see lots of builds were the front end, even in some cases the wings get swapped for those off a tamiya or a just as old monogram skyraider, what i havent found is why? So what is wrong with the cowling and the wings? and is it a major problem that needs the fix? Should add money is tight so buying a tamiya skyraider just for bits doesnt seem the right thing to be doing. Thanks

Mario Nice set of mustangs you got there.

Looks great, yet again it proves it doesn't have to be the latest kit on the market to look good with a little bit of effort.

Cracking build, great diorama

Excellent stuff, ive the marine version in the stash waiting

Found my copy of the magazine, certainly looks sad packed up on oil drums. Anyone interested in the article let me know.

Great looking buccaneer

Hi I was working on a construction site down west wales, not far from one of the ranges, prior to the start of the gulf war and it was a common site to these kind of aircraft flying over but will never forget the buccaneer that flew over. It came in very very fast and very very low, not sure about the minimum flying height but iam guessing the bucc should have been a bit higher. Don't think they actually flew any low level missions during the war. Lovely collection of aircraft you've got there, great stuff.

Love it

Great looking skyraider

Great looking Skyhawk.

Hi That magazine cover looks very familiar, think I have it in the attic somewhere, may take me some time to track it down, if you cant wait theres a copy for sale here http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AIRFIX-MODEL-MAGAZINE-JUNE-1976-TSR-2-BUILD-HOTSPUR-SLIDER-CENTURION-MK-V-/151273373868?pt=UK_Magazines&hash=item23389880ac Not mine or anything to do with me, not even sure if posting a link is acceptable, if not mods please delete.

Excellent stuff Mario, ready for an attack mission, going to need your sabre for top cover to fight off your mig 15. Love the panther pilots helmet, certainly adds something to the look of the aircraft. Peter

Looking good, its certainly got that worn out , beat up, battered look of something in Africa, the bad reaction of the paints certainly doesn't now look out of place in the overall effect. Is that a speck of paint I can see on your suit.

Nice typhoon

Nice looking mig

Great stuff, camo is excellent.
