[My first Churchill]

This is a great build! Fantastic variance in shade and the chipping is excellent! I have this in my stash so will be back for more inspiration.

Definitely available now as I just got one, lovely looking kit too!

Just a quickie to say the Tacoma kit is now available again! I grabbed one straight away.

Superb job! So much to look at. The facial details are exceptionally painted!

That's looking very smart Ray, great work!

[EA-18G Growler Ordnance - What is this?]

Hi Ray 

          If your other ordnance is live I doubt the acmi pod would be fitted as well. Acmi simulates live weapons, as far as I am aware the two would never be mixed.

Hope this helps

There is some good information here, maybe useful for someone else as well.

Hi Guys

             Thanks for the photo's they are excellent! Certainly look's a strange concept but then not too difficult on the scratch building front?

Seems the fins's mouting tube also serve as a guide rail/tube during ignition....

It does look that way?

[Strikemaster Sura Rockets 1/48]

Hi does anyone know of a source of Sura rockets in 1/48? I am aiming to do a Strikemaster from the battle of Mirbat. Or does anyone have any photos or drawings for scratch building?

 

I also need to source Sultan of Oman decals, I have found some in 1/72 so may need to scale them up?

 

Cheers

[FV432 in 1/35]

Thanks guys, looks like I will have to wait. I have been keeping a watch on evilbay, plenty of Mk3 and 1/72nd but not what I'm looking for. Thanks anyway.

[FV432 in 1/35]

Hi I would like to build a model of the FV432 in 1/35, BAOR version. The Takom kit 2066 would be ideal but it seems to be out of stock everywhere. The Mk3 Bulldog is available but unsure if I would be able to do the BAOR version using this kit? Do Takom reissue? Or does anyone know of an alternative kit?

 

Cheers

that is stunning Gisbob!

[Eduard 1/48th Westland Lysander]

Fantastic job! Excellent paintwork, how did you mask for the wavy line on the fuselage?  I am building this at the moment but it is seriously testing the limits of my current ability. I am finding the glass work problematic too, cutting sounds like a great solution.

 

Cheers

[Airfix 1:24 Grumman F6F-5 Hellcat - Finished]

Brilliant job! I love the finish you have achieved, I am not a fan of heavy weathering, this looks just right.  I nearly bit the bullet and ordered one during Amazon prime day, but I have the 1/24 Mosquito to make first. Perhaps when that is done? 

[How were pink Panthers pinked?]

I am building this at the moment so loving the content, thank you. I think this is the video mentioned, very good and can be played in slow motion too.

[Revell 1/24 Routemaster to AEC Regent 111]

Thanks very much for the replies guys. I have decided it is too much work to convert. My mum used to be a conductress and I still have her badge, the idea was to build and display with it next to the model. I may just build the RM but paint it in the local company colours. Call it a what if 🙂

[Revell 1/24 Routemaster to AEC Regent 111]

Hi all

        Vehicle's are not really my strongpoint, so please forgive my ignorance. Would it be possible to convert the routemaster to the AEC Regent 111? Are there a lot of differences? I can see the grill is different, is there any aftermarket available for the Revell kit?

 

Cheers

[Tornado GR1]

Always in for a Tornado build, is this the Revell IDS? I think it was airframe hours that did the Tornado in the end, we worked them hard.

thanks Dave, really enjoyed it

Are the missile pylons at the correct angle?  They look like they are slanting down at about 120-130 degrees to the fuselage but I think they should be at 90 degrees.

Apart from that and the seam along the spine that’s a rather nice Lightning.

Thank you for the feedback guys, I have to admit that I was not completly sure about the missiles, I did try dry fitting the pylons  a few times but that was the best I came up with. The seam along the top, again I tried, I have used Mr Surfacer, thought I had it ok but it does stand out in the photo.

 

I have finished it now, and am quite pleased with the results so will leave as is, but of course take on all points for my next model. Each one I complete is better than the last and that is what I am aiming for. The most important thing for me is I enjoyed building it.
