Now that brings back memories of my first large Airfix kit!! Hand-painted in Humbrol paints and hung from my ceiling... But it was nowhere near as gorgeous as this! I really must look in the local model shop and see if they have one in stock, such inspiration!

A thumbs up from me!

Late to the party but then I'm late back from work... This made me smile so much! Brilliant idea! Hang on, wooaaww! Slow down! that was originally posted in 2008!!!! I really am late to the party!

Hi from a Brit Abroad! (France) I love that movie too!! In fact I only watched it again a few weeks ago. Beautiful work!!

Despite the challenges, you've turned out a real beauty there!

I know it’s a cliché, but the Spitfire is easily my favourite single, piston-engined aircraft ever. I particularly like modelling and seeing modelled, the lesser known marks. Yours is a real beauty! One of my favourite spitfires displayed either on this forum or others! Superb in every way! I hope you don’t mind but I have shared the pictures on my Instagram account, mark_the_modeller

Thanks guys! A massive change in domestic circumstances and a house move have all affected progress, but I will get there! I promise!!

Absolutely superb! I have always loved the Marauder and that is just simply beautiful!

Wow!! It's about time I finished something too! But what a gorgeous little aircraft and yep, never heard of it either.

You've certainly done a great job on the kit, but your choice of decals was inspired!!

Wow!! Stunning F-14 and a real inspiration for me to get started on something again!

Beautifully finished!

Hi Giorgio, Thanks for your reply and apologies for my late response. I have access to most brands here in France but Gunze Sangyo and Tamiya are my preferred paints. I can order Xtracolor as well.

As the titles suggests, I’m starting a thread concentrating on the aircraft of the Royal Navy 814 NAS. The reason being is that my son has served with them now for nearly three years and I would like to get back into modeling and this seemed a good idea to start with. The first question I have then is in reference to the Wessex HAS.1 and specifically the best paint matches for the blue / yellow scheme? Which paints best match this scheme? Thanks in advance and Merry Christmas to you all!
