This is my attempt at Airfix’s 1/72 Bucc. First 1/72 kit since puberty but I figured it’s as big as a WWII 1/48 fighter so why not. Truly an excellent kit. W3ll done Airfix.

Wait ... There's a Britmodeller app?!
gryphon28 replied to Alan P's topic in Help & Support for Forum Issues
Nothing in the App Store for iPhones -
Thankyou. The question of color is open to debate, the caramel seems to reflect modern research, the light grey earlier thoughts. I just so happen to really like the grey!

Hi there, This is Academy’s new tool 1/48 A6M2 Zero. I built this after having recently completed Eduard’s A6M2 so I have included a comparison shot of both at the end. The Eduard scheme may be more in line with current thinking about the overall colour, but dammit, I wanted a grey Zero! This is a really nice kit. Not without faults but overall very satisfied with how she turned out. Apologies for the sensor dust spots. There is a full build feature in ScaleModellingNow for those who subscribe. https://www.scalemodellingnow.com/aircraft-academy-a6m2b-zero-fighter-model21-build Regards Rick

That’s the plan GRK.

Evening everyone, This is Academy’s new 1/48 Zero “Battle of Midway”. There will be a full write up of the build shortly in Scale Modelling Now for those who subscribe. A generally excellent kit but not without issue. Anyway, I think she turned out OK. Thanks for looking. Rick

That sounds useful for future reference, thanks 👍

Hey there, You will need to cram as much as you can, in what is actually a quite cramped space, fair to say that it was an absolute nightmare. Some ingenuity later, she sits comfortably on the nose wheel, which hopefully won’t bend over time. I will now go and get more therapy!

Thanks everyone for your support.

Indeed she does, thanks 😊

Cheers Bobby and Chris 👍

Airfix Bristol Blenheim Mkif-1/48
gryphon28 replied to Elias's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
That’s a beauty. I have one in my collection too and I can appreciate the work that has gone into your build. I had a devil of a time with the nose glazing but likely self inflicted! Congratulations on yours ✌️ -
Hello everyone This is Airfix’s recent 1/48 Vampire F3 built out of the box for an article in Scale Modelling Now. I really enjoyed this kit despite some challenges along the way. SMN is an online resource for all modelling genres and the build hopefully makes for an interesting read ! Rick

1/48 Tamiya Martlet (Wildcat)
gryphon28 replied to gryphon28's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
Thanks guys, I enjoyed building this kit. There is definitely nothing wrong with the older Tamiya kits and I have another on the shelf, though I admit I am looking forward to the Eduard kit due out shortly. -

Nice one Steve, I have plans for another too. All good mate 👍 -
Airfix 1/48 Iraqi Sea Fury
gryphon28 replied to gryphon28's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
Fair comment Dick, as my skills improve I guess the next level will be incorporating the decals more into the weathering process. I would actually describe my finishes as more artistic than necessarily uber accurate. It’s how I like to build and present them though. -
Airfix 1/48 Iraqi Sea Fury
gryphon28 replied to gryphon28's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
Thanks 👍. If I can save money and do it myself I will. To be honest though I used plastic card to replace those details I lost. A little time consuming but relatively basic skills and rewarding. -
Airfix 1/48 Iraqi Sea Fury
gryphon28 replied to gryphon28's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
Thank you👍. I used the kit parts, fair to say some sanding was required! Rewarding though and at least the plastic is soft. -
Airfix 1/48 Iraqi Sea Fury
gryphon28 replied to gryphon28's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
Thanks guys, comments really appreciated. It was a fun kit to build and very relaxing after an Eduard P51, which is a cracking kit too but requires a lot more attention. -
Airfix 1/48 Export Sea Fury built in Iraqi colors. A full build article is in Scale Modelling Now online magazine. This was a fun build of a great looking machine.

Beautiful faded and chipped scheme. -
Captured Tamiya 1/48 P-38G
gryphon28 replied to gryphon28's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
It’s all true Mike. This is an expensive kit, but worth it. Everyone should get to build one. If it was £30 I would build several more. Unlikely to happen though. -
Captured Tamiya 1/48 P-38G
gryphon28 replied to gryphon28's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
Thanks Nikola, it’s an exceptional kit, you will love it -
Evening everyone. I am pleased to share my latest work, Tamiya’s awesome P38 as a captured bird in Italian service. This is an absolute gem of a kit. I had so much enjoyment while putting her together. A few photos of the completed article. The model will feature shortly in a large build article for #ScaleModellingNow online magazine. Any comments welcomed 👍
