Hi Tony, It was pretty easy but the kit is not designed to be built wheels up, but nothing some minor surgery cannot sort out. You can see what they looked like in my WIP thread: I’d love to see you build some Aussie and Spanish F/A-18’s Also good to see you back at your Tomcat builds! Take care and Merry Christmas. Neal

Hi I’ve only just spotted this thread and it is a gold nugget on information. Regarding the QRA duties which squadrons did these duties? Thanks Neal

I know that these are inert weapons but it’s a “I mean business” load out, 8 x AIM-120 & 2 x AIM-9!!

Nice working on the revamp of this one!! Have you got any further with the idea of selling some of your resin mods?

Hi guys and girls, So firstly I’m not 100% sure this is in the right place, but hey ho here we go anyway! So I’m about to loose the mancave , as our daughter really does need her own bedroom soon and we need our own space back! But prior to this I want to do a quick project and build three “Cute” planes in order to make her a custom mobile! The chosen kits are the following: Tiger Models Cute BF-109 by Neal, on Flickr Tiger Models Cute Spitfire by Neal, on Flickr Meng Kids Lancaster Bomber. by Neal, on Flickr My wife will be joining in and will be building the Spitfire! Which means a lot to me. Also these kits will be painted up in some nice a bright colours: Pink, Purple, Blue, etc... and will probably have some fantasy camo schemes. That is all for now folks, take care and happy modelling! Neal

Hi all, So I’m still on my clean up of the photo library here are my photos taken at SMW18, as always a fantastic event and some top quality work on display! I hope that you enjoy the photos. Neal

Don’t you hate it when two of your favourite things clash! I suppose though in your case it was an easy decision, Cosford will have another show next year, the concert won’t! Regarding egg planes I’m starting a build of three of them to make a decoration for my daughter’s room, even the wid is getting involved so hopefully lots of fun on the build. I’ll do a WIP thread on the forum.

Hi Chris, No problems glad you enjoyed looking through them. Neal

Hi Whofan, I’m sorry you missed it this year, Cosford is my favourite show, in some ways I prefer it to Telford! I love the dips too and egg planes always bring a smile to me face, they are so funny and cute! And in a way they are what the hobby should all be about having a laugh and enjoyment, not getting too wrapped up in exactitude.

Evening, Continuing with the cleanup of my Lightroom library I think that I have not shared these photos that I took at the Shropshire Model Show 2019 held at RAF Cosford. The show at Cosford is one of my favourites and I try to get to it every year! Anyway here are the photos I took whilst there:

Hi Guys, I’m having bit of a tidy up my photos and I have found these so thought I would share them with you. This was the 1st time I went to the Milton Keynes ModelKraft show and I was impressed by the size of it. It was nice to chat to some of the exhibitors and meet up with some familiar faces as always at these events. The work on display was awesome and it was nice to see a good turnout to the show, I hope that you enjoy the photos.

Hi guys, I don’t know if you have seen this, I have just seen it on facebook and thought I’d share it with you! It is looking good, roll on 2020!! Youtube link

Thank you for all the kind feedback it is appreciated! I’m being a bit of a wuss, I noticed that too but I’m scared that if I try to clean it up I’ll end up chipping the pain above and it will be worse. Any suggestions to do this safely? Neal

Hi, Wow this is nice piece of work!! You are much braver than I will ever be, tackling this kit is quite the undertaking!! I have some reference photos from XR220 at RAF Cosford. I’m happy to post them up here if you would like them? Neal
