    I need outside to spray some varnish so obviously the heavens have opened. Predictable.

      Umbrella held in the teeth , model in one hand and varnish in the other. What could go wrong?

      Cleared up nicely in the evening. Canopy unmasked, RFI here we come.

    Splinter camo on a greenhouse canopy. What was I thinking?

  3. Stosh65

    Looking forward to a blitz build this weekend! Get involved people!

      Everyone has something in the deep, dark corners of the stash.

      Unfortunate. I am doing an EDSG over sky hawker typhoon FAA whif, so I'll try to make up for your absence.

  4. Stosh65

    The spinner spiral is on! Not perfect but acceptable for a first go.

  5. Stosh65

    Even with a pre-cut mask, canopy masking a Stuka is still tedious stuff.

      I concur! It's a real chore.

      Made worse when you lose a piece as well. Had to be one of the tiny ones as well. Done now though.

    I like football again! Doubt it'll last, but hey.

      So do I! I had £5 on Iceland to win 2-1. May buy a new fishing rod or two tomorrow.

      I had £10 on England to win 4-0. Luckily i put it down on Tuesday, so I've only lost about 38p.

      Nice Darby! What were the odds?

  7. Stosh65

    Masking splinter camo. Tedious.

      I feel for you but looks fantastic once sprayed.

      Might be heading there. Depends on school fete timings

      Will do

  9. Stosh65

    10,000 runs. Take a bow Mr Cook. Well done indeed.

  10. Stosh65

    If the academy stuka is in indicative of there other work, I can see me doing a lot of their kits. Fit is astounding.

      It can't be that bad. May be the resin coversion that came in the box is a good idea after all.

      There's no point in the Academy Spitfire XIV now a Sword one will be out soon

      I built Academy's Spit XIV last year. The kit itself builds well but the aft fuselage seems to be too short, making it a bit 'tubby'. The wings look good, though.

    Had a quiet few weeks and now I'm itching to get going again. Bring on the Great Patriotic War!

      Had another search online last night and found a few more possibles. Its funny how these things turn up after you ask.

    Strange product philosophy from AZ models. Give stencil decals but don't give any indication where they go? Thanks for that.

      Fortunately I think I still have the diagram from an airfix one stashed somewhere.

      You think that's odd? Try building their 1/72 Attacker. Fuselage halves different size cross sections

    Lost my tamiya tape! Serious issues ongoing.

      Found it, phew.

    I miss primer.

    This AZ Hurricane is proving more advanced as a build. An invigorating experience though. Totally worth a sliced finger.

    1. Procopius

      Procopius

      Would you consider gracing us with a build thread? Don't see too many of those for this kit.

    2. Stosh65

      Stosh65

      It is in the Hurricane STGB. Not been updated recently as was finishing my Tucano but should get going in the next few days.

  18. Stosh65

    So this is what being burgled is like. Frankly, an experience I could have done without.

      Been there. Invest in security measures before you replace what's been looted - they're likely to be back if they liked what you had.

      Good locks and bad dogs are said to be a good starting point.

      Apparently there's been a spare of this in our area and the cops actually have some suspects already so hopefully they'll get the guy. Not holding my breath though.

  19. Stosh65

    Having a ridiculous week. Everything going wrong. Most annoyingly its disrupting my builds!

  20. Stosh65

    Mojo has deserted me.

    1. Duncan B

      I've been feeling like that since Hogmanay! I am struggling to get a 99% complete model over the finish line.

    2. Stosh65

      Stosh65

      I'm not nearly that close but the last push is often the hardest.

    3. Duncan B

      Duncan B

      I think it is. All those fiddly little bits, it's better to sort them out at the start when Mojo is still in good form.

  21. Stosh65

    Stargazing live on this week heralding a delay in my current build.

  22. Stosh65

    I went to pick up one tin of matt black and came out with two tins of white primer, varnish, an E-type Jag (kit unfortunately) and a P-51. Got home and realised I had no black paint.

      Thats sort of a standard situation for me too...I feel with you

  23. Stosh65

    After much revelry last night, today will be spent quietly reading yearbooks.

  24. Stosh65

    Just had a look at next years group builds and all the ones I'm doing feel like they are at the same time! Busy start to the year!

  25. Stosh65

    When putting sidewinders on something, make sure they're in the kit. Thank heavens for the spares box.
