  1. I'm having trouble joining the fuselage halves. Any tips on how to do it right? Thanks!
  2. Thank you all for these very helpful references!
  3. Lovely build. Too challenging a kit for me. I'll wait until Airfix bring out a new tool in 1/72.
  4. I'm only a decade late to this discussion, but like HL-10 I would also like to build an HAS1 and am confused about the best base kit to use. Are there any better options now than there were in 2012? Do you have pics of your HAS1? Thanks.
  5. 2023 Airfix Wishlist: 1/48 Jaguar 1/72 RAF Chinook 1/72 Sea Vixen 1/72 Whirlwind SAR
  6. Airfix might turn their attention to some post-war RAF Transport Command subjects. The VC-10 is mentioned above, but I also hope to see an Argosy, Beverley, Andover, and Britannia in 1:72 (perhaps not all in the same year!). Zvezda have the Hercules covered. Also on the wish list: New Tool: 1:72 Jaguar one and two-seater Scimitar Wessex, Whirlwind, Puma, Chinook Dominie, Jetstream 1:48 Beagle Basset Harrier GR1/3/T2
  7. Lovely work! Do you think we are likely to see a new tooled 1/72 or 1/48 Jag from one of the major manufacturers any time soon?
  8. Does anyone know the correct colors for the insides of the main flaps on the Shackleton AEW? The new Revell kit gives DSG, but I seem to remember them being a sort of zinc green chromate. Thanks!
  9. Congrats on a fantastic model and on the award at the weekend--much deserved! I found your post at an opportune time as I am about to start work on the Classic Airframes version. Did you happen to do a WIP on Britmodeller? In particular, I would like to learn: what paints you used; how you did the weathering; and how you avoided silvering on the stencil decals that are mostly transparent. Thanks and well done!
  10. Great work! May I ask which brand of dayglo you used on the T7. Thanks.
  11. wow, what great builds! Did you post a work in progress for any of these?
  12. Hi Sten: Did you ever make further progress on the Dominie? Am working on my own and looking for guidance. Thanks.
  13. I am also working on a white/gray Nimrod. About two years into the build, I am now trying to refashion the intakes and adjacent searchlights.
  14. Hi Steve: I was wondering if you ever finished the project. I'd like to know if I can build an RAF Hawk T2 (the black ones based at Valley) from the 1/72 Airfix BAE Systems kit. Chris
  15. Hi Shaun: did you ever complete your Fly JP or post more of your build? I'm about to start on one and am looking for guidance. Thanks
  16. Thanks for the link Dave. They look just the ticket and quite affordable! Chris
  17. Thanks John. I think I can live with inaccurate wheels. I read somewhere that the starter bullets are smaller on the B2 intakes and that they can be easily corrected. Chris
  18. Lovely Canberra in an eye-catching scheme. I was hoping to convert my old Airfix Canberra B (I).6 into a B.2 with the Suez stripes. Does anyone know of a convenient guide to the differences between the two versions? Thanks! (By the way, the old Airfix kit seems remarkably good for its age).
  19. What a beautiful Phantom! May I ask what metal colors and brands of paint you used on the exhaust areas: I am about to spray my Fujimi Phantom with Vallejo Metalcolors and need some guidance. Also, what weathering products/techniques did you use? Thanks
  20. Thank you for your quick and detailed responses. Much appreciated!
  21. I am modeling a 1/72 Fujimi Phantom of RAF 1435 Flt using the new Xtradecal Phantom sheet. The nose/radome is supposed to be fibreglass coloured. Anyone know of a Tamiya paint (or paint mixture) that might work for this? Thanks!
  22. Fantastic build; thanks for sharing. I'd like to build a Sea King in similar colors, but would need to use Tamiya acrylics. Do you happen to know if any of their grays or reds are a good match? Thanks!
  23. Thanks Richard. Your specific suggestion is especially welcome as I model post-war British subjects, mostly in 1/72, but a few in 1/48 also. The Bucc and the Gannet are two of my favorite subjects!
