Thanks for all the kind words folks! Much appreciated 👍

That's a beauty! I've got one in the stash for a rainy day and glad to know it's a relatively easy build. I think I only paid £15! Probably one of the bargain kits of the century?!

Absolutely outstanding...and the scheme that they should have gone with in real life!

Wow Mikey I didn't realise you were doing a WIP! Brave brave man! Works are certainly coming along nicely and the mystery of the strange angled nosecone has been answered! I did wonder! That also means that the black nose demarcation line will also follow the same angle? Photos seem to suggest that? Things you discover! 😁 Keep up the surgery.......

Some of the builds on here are just outstanding and this is yet another one! Very very nice indeed...that camouflage is so neat! 👍 Just wish I had the room for one of these!

That's a beauty! One of my favourite aircraft and in a proper scheme! Great work.

Very nice indeed! You've done it justice. I do love the Javelin.....just wish I had the space in the cabinet!

Absolutely fantastic! I presume this is a rebox of the old matchbox kit from the 80s? If so you've done a fine fine job!

Hi folks This is one that I completed a couple of years ago but only just got around to posting. A really nice kit that goes together nicely.... but boy it's BIG when completed so has to hide away in the loft!! I used aftermarket decals from Hi Decal, paints from mig ammo 0249, Vallejo Model Air 71.335 & 337 and my usual mig ammo panel line washes to finish off. Hope you like! Comments much appreciated.

Very very nice indeed and a really tricky scheme to have tackled! Superlative masking! 😁 Great work!

Absolutely stunning! Wow!

That's an absolute beauty! You've certainly done the kit justice 👍 I do love the early pre war Spits with their variety of schemes and undersurface colours! Great work and thanks for the inspiration to maybe having a go at this kit one day.

Wow! Fantastic thanks very much. PM sent ☺️

Hi all Just working on the Kinetic Sea Harrier and frustratingly I've cracked the canopy windshield! Arrrgh! Kinetic seem to be very difficult to get replacement parts from so far and I was wondering if anybody makes a vacform replacement? I cannot seem to find any Harrier canopies at all? Failing that does anybody know if the Tamiya Sea Harrier parts would fit as you can pick these kits up fairly cheap these days...plus I'll have some spares and decals leftover for the spares box!

Stunning T bird! I love the Sword Lightnings as they just look right when completed. They do take a bit of fettling as you say but the results are worth the effort. Great work!

That's an absolutely cracking build of the Meatbox. I do love the long nose variants and the TT20 especially. I built the NF version some time ago and thought it was a lovely kit apart from the engine to wing assembly... but that may have been me! Thanks for sharing the pics!

Absolutely stunning! I made this kit some years ago and can concur it's a very tricky one to complete. Mine somehow ended up lop-sided with the alignment of the wings being all out of square...and from that point it never really looked right so I've hidden it away in the cupboard never too be seen again! Would love to have another go though one day... as you have shown with some hard work it can turn into a cracking looking model. Thanks for sharing!

Very nice indeed! Well rescued! I completed this kit last year and it never turned out as nice as yours. It's a HUGE model though!

Many thanks! I cheated and used a pre-cut mask set as it looked a real challenge to do this from scratch.

Wow! That's absolutely stunning! I looked at purchasing this kit recently but the rotor size footprint put me off. Looks like the folding rotor optional accessory is a great idea!

Very nice indeed! It just goes to show that with care and great modelling skills some of these older classic kits can still look fantastic. Great work!

Evening all. Latest off the bench is the superb Airfix Blenheim in 1/48 scale. Having been building mainly 1/144 aircraft for a while the size increase on this one came as a bit of a shock again! 😳 This was such an enjoyable build though with no real problems at all. Top marks Airfix. Paints were Mr Hobby for the camouflage and Xtracrylix for the Azure Blue undersides. I kept the weathering to minimal with just some panel line wash. Wonder when Airfix will upscale the mk IV? Hope you like.... comments much appreciated. Thanks for looking.

Very very nice indeed! Great choice of markings too 👏

Great work Mikey! Nice to see you back on the modelling table 😁

That's a cracking F-5. I remember building this as a kid when it first came out and has always been one of my favourite kits of all time. Still looks every inch a Freedom Fighter!
