    Sorry to see this one has caused you grief Roger, it’s a strange hobby isn’t it! I really enjoyed the Brengun Typhoon and was delighted with how it came out but then I didn’t enjoy building the Arma Hobby Hurricane for example that everybody raves about! I’m going to do an Airfix Typhoon next for the 80th anniversary of D-Day so looking forward to getting more hints and tips from you as per usual 😂 Matt

    Beautiful finish 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

    Another beauty Roger! The colours look spot on, I really like the FAA later camouflage, especially with blue and white Pacific theatre roundels! Did the undercarriage go together well? One of the most complex out there for a single engine aircraft! 👏👏👏 Matt

    Once again Roger a couple of builds that are right up my street! I’m about to do the P-40E boxing so I’ll be watching intently and relaxing that I don’t have to do any mods 😂 I built the Brengun Typhoon a few years ago, as a ETO one with the short lived white nose. I really enjoyed the kit I have to say and loved the finished article so I’m sure you’ll have a great time! Matt

    From the 4 photos I’ve seen yes, it’s the quality that I think has led to this mistake. When brightened you can clearly see the demarcation line between the sand and DE where it should be on the standard pattern. I believe there were a very small number of OD/NG ones in North Africa. This thread explains it all far better than I can! Matt

    I’ve been researching “Trixie” loads as I’m about to build a SH P-40F. There appear to have been at least 2, but the most famous one (code “40”) is a long tail. It also appears to be in desert camouflage not olive drab….

    Beautiful finish yet again Roger!! Matt

    Another one I have in the stash so will be following keenly!! On the sprue it looks fantastic so let’s see how it builds! Matt

    I’m just coming to the end of my second pair of these and I’m sad to say they’ve been a real battle!! I’m glad to see after building all 4 that the multiple issues I had with fit were not me as I thought! The standard you are achieving however has blown me away! Really looking forward to watching this come along but from the safety of behind the sofa 😂 😂 What scheme will you be going for? Matt
  11. M.T.Dolby
    That is fantastic work, I really like the DE/DG/Sky finish on this later mark and with the white squadron codes it makes for a wonderful contrast! Fantastic work! Matt

    Superb work! I agree with you about the kit - aside from the small wheels it’s a superb kit, well engineered and a very enjoyable build. But this above all others has been an inspiration in how to achieve a scheme even when there are no aftermarket decals available. And it’s been really enjoyable following it through the WIP! Bravo 👏🏻 😊 Matt

    Great project! I did similar but by doing a 1/72 P-51D from every fighter group (except the 56th obviously). They’re all on Instagram. I really enjoyed it, especially the challenges of masking all the various nose colour schemes (I refused to use any decals!). When you undertake a project like this you start to find how underrepresented certain groups are by kit and decal manufacturers. Can’t wait to see which schemes you go for 😊😊😊😊 Matt

    All the ones I have seen are B-24Js, however I am no expert! Looking at the parts breakdown as discussed above, I’d be pretty confident we will get a J model within a few years as there were plenty of RAF examples of these in Coastal command, Italy, SEAC etc as well as 100 group. I’m also hoping we may get a B-24J then that actually has the 5th AF mods like the missing ball turret so we can finally accurately do them! But first and foremost I cannot wait for this kit the detail and accuracy look second to none 😊 Matt

    Great choices! I’ve built both these kits and made exactly the same decision as you with a camouflaged F1 and white F3! The kits are beautiful to build, I found them as good as Tamiya and two of my most enjoyable ever builds 😊 Matt
  16. M.T.Dolby
    Looking great so far! I’m sure Jago and Litefoot would approve! (great viewing choice 😉) I have been wavering on whether to buy the AZ kit or hold on in the hope Airfix give us a nice new crisp one with a bomb bay, but you are swaying me! Matt
