  1. My version of the classic 1/48th Monogram/Revell B-58 Hustler. This is the second time I've made this model. Thought i'd do it some justice this time, by sparying it with the Alclad 2 metal finishes. Whole project took a lot of time and troubleshooting to get the results I wanted. I found the high polish Aluminium Alclad 2 used not as tough and more tricky to get right than the more matt versions. Pictures aren't taken in brilliant light so i'll post more tomorrow. Phil
  2. That's a very impressive build! Particularly the RR Merlin looks "Life-Like" Your attention to detail is some of the best i've seen. Very accurate to the original. Did you Melt plastic sprues and extrude to get the fine wire 'look' for the control cables under the pilot's seat? I also Like the idea of using rubber matting to do the Camo scheme! Was it succesfull? Phil.
  3. More Photos of the Airfix 24 Mossie: Most Enjoyable model to build to date Even though it seemed to take a lifetime! Shame i didin't have space to keep it. I hope Airfix do something of similar engineering perfection in the not too distant future?
  4. Finished this 3 weeks ago. Not one of Trumpeter's best models, slight errors in the detail + few warped pieces. Lots of modifications needed to just to create it 'Out-of-the-Box' PE Hinges are a more of a problem than I thought, although they seemed to more succes on the 1/32 F4u and the Su-27.
  5. Ah Ha! Thanks for all you help guys! I did actually make this one with the small DC motor inside the RR Merlin, you can see the Red & Black wires tucked in the bottom of the previous pictures. Best Phil P.S. FW-190 Pics to follow!
  6. Can someone help and tell me how I get the image to view like that, rather than me posting links only? Excuse me for being a bit slow on figuring this out..... LOL. Phil

  8. Thanks for the comments guys, Still not sure how to get the photos to appear in the thread though. Just been looking at photobucket tags tab, but still a little confused on how to get them to appear in this thread? Can anyone help? Will be posting the other 1/24s later this evening, once i've worked out this image display. Phil
  9. This is my First Post.....so here goes One of my latest projects, took a month to build. Been out of touch with modelling for a while now, But this was 24th scale Mossie was too tempting not to start it up again. Massively impressed with Airfix's Engineering on this kit! I normally build, then sell the finished Aircraft due to space restrictions. Also I'm surrounded by airplanes in my working life so best to keep the amount at home to a minimum to keep everyone happy 1/24 Airfix Mosquito: http://s1164.photobucket.com/albums/q563/p...nt=IMG_3338.jpg http://s1164.photobucket.com/albums/q563/p...nt=IMG_3339.jpg http://s1164.photobucket.com/albums/q563/p...nt=IMG_3346.jpg http://s1164.photobucket.com/albums/q563/p...nt=IMG_3340.jpg I have plenty more photos, I'll be posting again wih my Trumpeter 1/24 D9 Bulid as well as my 1/24 Airfix Spitfire BBMF with 4 bladed conversion. Right now I'm Alclad 2 spraying the clssic Monogrma/Revell 1/48 B-58 Hustler. Phil More posts to follow
