  1. Slow progress guys with work and other projects on the go this one has fallen to the wayside a little but I am still putting some time in here and there. Here's how she currently looks, painting up the cockpit at the moment, I will add pics once assembled.  I was at Hendon last week and picked up this nice little book for £6.99 which I was pretty happy with.  Browsing through it has convinced me I'm no longer going to do the night fighter version as previously planned.  Will probably do an early war or Mediterranean kite based in Greece.

     

    Now onto that cockpit with it's really good fit to the fuselage 😆

  2. Well I think I'm probably being over ambitious with thinking I may get these two builds done but I will try my hardest that's for sure.  Will start with the Blenheim, I have the mask set and paints already and if I get time I will get Whitley done as well.  Both will most likely be finished as the aircraft from the box art, I will definitely do the coastal command Whitley, perhaps a different scheme for the Blenheim.

     

    Looking forward to getting started!

  3. Hellcat is complete, I just need to add the landing lights later on and I'll post a final pic up later. 

     

    Heres what I've been working on in the meantime at work during the week.

    A Hasegawa Ki-100 and a Dragon Sherman Firefly. I need to change the Fireflys paint scheme to a more olive drab for the subject I'm modelling now I've purchased some aftermarket decals. So paints will be ordered this week for both this week, next week the pain staking task of building the tracks will commence but in the meantime now I'm back at home I will concentrate on painting the Marseille 109F or Spit Mk 1 that linger on my shelf of doom.

    Finally some progress and this one is all but complete bar some landing lights, antenna wiring and wash around the canopy area.

     

    More pics to follow.

     

    Next up is to focus on the Bf109f of Hans Joachim Marseille 👍🏻

  5. Hi guys,

     

    Over the past year and a half it's been a real slog doing any kind of modelling with a young child, and for 2021 I'm due to finish just 1 kit. So as I've got some time off, instead of starting a new kit I plan to clear out some of the shelf of doom candidates.

    As you can see I've got a fair amount of unfinished kits, embarrassingly that's not even all of them. Plan is to crack on with the Hellcat as it's good for decals, then I have a 1/48 Boston, 1/48 Bf109F, 1/72 A-4 and F-4 all needing attention. The Buchon has stalled with the decals from academy being woeful and already cracking, it'll need a new set or it'll potentially be used for spares unfortunately. I'm favouring the Boston as it stands but I'm thinking the A-4 shouldn't take alot to get it finished.

     

    Thanks for looking, updates to follow.

  6. This is the GB I need 😂 luckily having seen other posts, maybe the amount of builds my shelf of doom isn't as bad as I'd feared. Currently building an F6F-5 Hellcat which I should finish in the coming weeks but for this GB I have a free french Boston, Malta spit and a desert 109-F4 all in 1/48. Probably overreaching trying to get all finished but I'd at least like to clear 1 of them. I'll start a thread closer to Xmas leave.

  7. Chistmas leave coming up, I would desperately like to complete something off the shelf of doom. So many options embarrassingly 🤣 I have a Beaufighter which literally just needs a vacform canopy adding, so I probably won't end up posting that until complete, I think my submission will most likely be an Airfix A-4 Skyhawk which is almost complete painting and pretty much at final assembly/decalling or a Dragon 1/35 Sherman Firefly which has sat trackless in its box for the past 2 years.  I will add a post up once on holiday but I'm determined to complete something and then if I have time maybe go at something else, my list is literally endless from a Boston to a couple of Spitfires and a Phantom and many many more 😬
