Thanks for the ideas, one or two are looking good due to what the weather looks like next week Matt

Thanks Andy Its the way of things that model shops all over are shutting down, I remember some really good ones when I were a lad that disappeared some years ago, the air museum sounds like a nice escape for a few hours Matt

Very nice work there Miguel Matt

Good review Bought this one a few weeks back, looks really nice just have to finish the too many started kits before I can make a pigs ear of it.

There’s a wip of the HK in the aircraft section somewhere, if that’s any help Matt

Some outstanding work going on here Gorby, I’m far too lazy to even attempt scratching anything kudos to you fella

I’ll second the bad batch vote, I use vallejo model air including alot of white grey on swimbo’s dolls house and never had a problem like that, think you got unlucky Matt

Just a quick update on the glacial progress, all the bits have arrived along with a useful reference book And a pic of first attempt at scribing which apart from a couple of slight slips has started well I feel.

Lovely looking toom

Thanks although it does depend on the acurracy of the modeller as well 🙂 thats a stunning model of the old girl will have to see if my sausage fingers can get it even halfway as good

Will be tagging along for the ride as I have the smaller trumpeter in the stash

Morning all a family holiday in perranporth cornwall is looming and I will at some point be needing to disappear off somewhere on my own (only so much family time can be managed in one go) so any suggestions about museums, shops and general places of interest to the average modeller within reasonable driving distance for a day trip would be very much appreciated Matt

Fantastic work going into this, I was drooling over this kit in LMS today 🤤

The obligatory shot of air intakes caked with filler and the tickling sticks made for the hard to reach places And whilst waiting for the PE from David Parkins to arrive I shall be trying something new to me Rescribing panel lines! it could be a triumph or more likely a well that didn’t go as planned

After far too long it’s time for my first official WIP, Lola doesn’t count as I only posted her after all the naughty language had faded. As I’ve not dipped into the stash for a couple of years I thought I’d get back into the saddle with a nice easy fits like a glove build 😂 The inspiration for this build apart from being an iconic plane is basically a mate of my dads gave me a fully built Vulcan when I was a nipper which had pride of place on the shelf for many years until lost to a slightly irate sister. so here we go with the always popular Airfix Vulcan. the Intention is to approximate airframe XL391 which from googling about had the same paint job as the aforementioned model and by happy coincidence was assigned to 9 squadron which also counted a previous build Lonesome Lola among their lancs Any vulcanologists (or anyone else) feel free to shout when I stray off course
