  1. Excellent build, the weathering looks very effective I think we've all been there about not putting enough weight in the nose, I've completed a few models and done exactly that.
  2. Very nice build, good job with the decaling. Even today I'm still amazed by the profile of this aircraft, it's so "out of this world".
  3. Nice build. I built the re-issued boxing and it really is a small model as shown in your first pic.
  4. Look forward to more pics It does look like a good model from the photograph.
  5. A very nice P-38 and the paint job looks pretty good too
  6. An excellent build It is a nice model and looks pretty cool in a SEA camo scheme.
  7. Very nice Mustangs the metal finish looks good. Hopefully I'll get round to building my Airfix P-51 kit... some day
  8. Nice line up and fantastic builds Looks like the kurnass is also a MiG killer.
  9. Nice build and a good job painting the camo scheme
  10. Agree with the other posters, that is an impressive dio. I like the water effect, it's very realistic
  11. Personally I can't think of any kit manufacturers to steer clear of. From what I've seen brands like Airfix, Revell, Hasegawa, Tamiya etc are capable of producing good model kits. Sometimes one of them makes a better kit than the others. It's generally commented Tamiya makes the best 1/72 P-51D Mustang but it doesn't mean to say I would avoid building Airfix or Hasegawa because of that.
  12. A very impressive model and build It's a nice change from seeing the usual operational scheme.
  13. Agree it's a great looking model and I like the Jolly Rogers scheme.
  14. Outstanding, you've done a great job with the bare metal finish not to mention the build
  15. 1/72 Airfix Focke-Wulf Fw 190A Oberstleutenant Josef "Pips" Priller This is the old Airfix 190 and from my "original" collection. Not many models from that collection have survived the house moves and even with this one I had to fix the landing gear after it got broke. With this particular model I was at the time attempting a mottled camo scheme. Looking at it now, it's probably not right for a 190 maybe it will work for an early 109. The bomb is another inaccuracy, I sometimes add ordnance even though the real aircraft never carried any. I have the new mould 190 which hopefully I will build someday. Would make for a nice camparo.
  16. Thanks Michael and Louie, I appreciate your comments and advise Very kind of you Reggie, I'll let you know if my stash doesn't have the decals I'm looking for.
  17. Another excellent build Alex and you managed to do all that in 1/72
  18. Excellent build, I like the paint job It's a nice change seeing an Operation Daguet Mirage in a scheme other than desert camo.
  19. Nice build and great job with painting the camo scheme, it looks really good
  20. Thanks Stosh, glad you like the scheme Well I suppose it would make sense to do a Beaver Joking aside I actually have an unbuilt DHC-2 kit by Hobby Craft. The mould appears to be the same age as the Airfix Chipmunk. Decals are pretty much gone so have to come up with something from the spares box.
  21. That is an "unusual" looking plane and I like the camo scheme as well. Definitely a model I would consider building.
  22. For a first timer using those techniques you've done pretty well not to mention the photography
