Very nice Hun, paint and weathering is spot on and the way you have painted the metal area looks great.

More than happy with Hasegawa and PCM kits, Zokei Mura is not my cup of tea, to much stuff you will never see and too expensive. That said I do hope they sell well for them.

Very nice hun, looks nice and worn.

Very nice model with a nice balanced amount of weathering.

Very nicely done.

Hi, Dont airbrush Klear on your canopies, brush it on. Get yourself some Windsor & Newton Galeria acrylic varnish, bottle of matt and a bottle of gloss, you can mix it to give the sheen you want then, thin it 50/50 with isopropyl alcohol. Get another airbrush that you just use for varnish, stops rogue spots of colour turning up in your varnish cotes. For primer try using Halfords aerosol primers. they dry quite quickly and can be sanded without them peeling off like acrylic paint does. for polishing canopies get something like 12000 grit micromesh sanding cloth to finish polish them. for things like your wing light, fit it and sand it to shape then mask it before painting. Have to say that your Battle is a great build and you obviously have what it takes to produce beautiful models. I look forward to seeing your future work.

Just what I was going to say!!! F-16's have a Matt finish. I know.

Great work, and a very smart line up at the end. I have to say I would probably have given up after some of the problems you had so well done for completing them to such a high standard.

you have built a stunning model, inspirational.

Very nice model with a good finish and weathering.

Thanks, I will miss that Pollyscale varnish, however I am now going to be using Windsor & Newton 'Galeria' acrylic varnishes. I had a test run overspraying something that Valejo acrylic varnish had ruined leaving a blue frosted effect and it removed all traces of the frosting, leaving a nice even finish. Thinned it about 50/50 with xtracrylic thinners but it was still a little on the thick side for the airbrush.

Thanks for the comments. Its not a bad old kit to work with, the old Hasegawa fuselage is just a bit slab sided, lacking some profile to the side engine cowling. Luckily it is quite an easy one to rescribe, its not something I would do on anything more complex than this. I would definately build another one though.

The kit was very easy to build requiring only a little filler mostly around the engine nacelles.

Built this kit about 10 years ago and found it very good, no real fit problems and nicely detailed. All I added were some scratch built wheel wells and seat belt harnesses. A colleague at the time pestered me to sell it to him and I eventually gave in, but have not got round to building another one to replace it.

Very nice Typhoon, one observation though is that period photos of Typhoons show quite a sharp demarcation between colours. Still a nice build though.

I cant realy add anything new here, it is a beautiful model.

Two nice models there, I like the desert scheme.

This is the Revegawa 1/32 Spitfire Mk.IIa. I started this kit back in 2001 and when the new kit arrived I decided I should finish this one before looking at the new one. I have built it as close as I can to a Mk.I with what comes in the box, and used one of the marking options from the kit. Spitfire Mk.I, N3277 (P3277 in the kit) AZ-H, 234 'Madras Presidency' Squadron, St. Eval, April 1940. I scribed the fuselage to match the new wing and cut down the Mk.V type oil cooler to reduce its height. I will add radio aerials and a rear view mirror soon. It is painted with Xtracrylics paints and my last drop of Polyscale matt varnish. Thanks for looking in.

Absolutely brilliant. Having seen this I am very tempted to make this kit my next build .

Superb work and all on such a small model, well done.

Nicely done.

yet another superb corsair.
