  1. Sorry, but driving to an airbase and photographing an aeroplane doesn't actually count as building a kit!! There may only be one but it's SUPERimpressive!
  2. That PB31 is just bonkers. Absolutely love it (and had to Google it immediately)! What a year, flippin' well done.
  3. Flippin' heck, that was brave! And you pulled it off. Brilliant, lovely build.
  4. Wow! Whatever problems you had with the wing/fuselage joint is absolutely NOT obvious. Build, finish, colours look great to me (and I really like the pilot too). Great job on a lovely kit (I was supertwitchy about cutting out the gun bay panels too. And didn't!).
  5. Really LOVELY builds (and a little Hurricane tease in there too. I'm heading to that post next!). Are those oversize squadron codes overlaying the fuselage roundels on N3200?
  6. Wow. Super build. Bonkers idea. I often wonder what they thought all those crazy designs would actually achieve...
  7. Absolutely agree. The way you've posed them; it just works! Lovely.
  8. I think the kit instructions (7th picture in this link) also suggest they should be removed; which fits nicely with everything that's been said above.
  9. OMG. An Italian Spitfire. Totally bonkers. Love it!
  10. Yes the gun residue and exhaust staining could be better (most of my models end up in the bin at the weathering stage). And the Dark Green doesn't look quite dark enough to my eyes (although it's probably just the light in the photos. And my age). BUT you've aced the wing root chipping, the construction looks seamless, the rigging to scale and the sprayed finish is pretty bloomin' good. That is one fine model. But the bit I enjoyed the most; the link to the newsreel and seeing 'your' Hurricane in real life. The fact that I live just a few miles down the road from Ashford made it all the more interesting.
  11. That is a super build and finish. And the bit that made me think "flippin' heck, I couldn't do that"; the wraparound camo. Love it!
  12. I love (no, actually I'm completely in awe of) your Dad's work. Superb as always. And the unusual subject just adds to the enjoyment (even if it isn't quite as gorgeous as the fighter version!). Shame about the Hakenkreuze although I absolutely understand the reasons why.
