    Looking great Tony, I looked and I haven't any left either. Must be 15 years old, so it has lasted well. I quite like the new Tamiya Dark Green, used it on my Javelin recently. Take care Andy

    Looks good, I did something very similar using a Wee Friends conversion earlier in the year. Your resin looks sharper though. Watching with interest.

    Lovely work and good luck transporting it. I'm suppose to take a couple of kits down to the club tonight and drad unpacking thm to find bits broken.

    It would be nice for a good, accurate Javelin, though personally I would have prefered an earlier version with the pen nib, as there are more units that flew it. I did a whole series of Javelin in 1/72 using parts cloned from the old Heller kit back near the end of the last century (gosh just saying that makes me feel old).

    Chris, I'd thought about selling mine earlier this year but something stopped me doing it. Glad I didn't now.

    Cunze Sanyo Dark Sea Grey and Dark Green Tamiya Silver from a rattle can. were the basic colours.

    You may well be right, I do like the 1/48th Defiant though. I sat i one when I was about ten years old and it seemed massive. Thank you all for your likes and comments

    I didn't expect to finish this one, this side of New Year. It's the hopefully soon to be re-issued 1/48th Javelin. I had bought it when it first came out but put it to one side as it was just too big. Then last year I built a couple of F-102s, an F-101 and an F-106 so what was I scared of? Well the length is fine but it still has an enormous wing span. I normally use the pound coin to show how small my 1/144th stuff is but it seemed appropriate. It went together like a dream and all I added were some belts and a pair of Master pitots. Well worth the money IMHO. I also used a set of markings for a 5 Squadron machine from Xtradecals. Still not sure I'll build another due to the size and anyway there are sooooo many Hunters I want to build. Thanks for looking.

    Getting into uncharted territory now, I have exactly zero wargames figures to paint. I've never been in this position in 40 years of gaming and even worse I have no plans for any new armies or even units! first up is a Confederate gun crew running up the gun. lastly, a unit of Papal swordsman to round off my Condottieri project. Both armies have seen action in the last two months, so I'm not been short of tabletop action. Tomorrow is the re-fight of the Battle of the River Plate, using the venerable but brilliant Fletcher Pratt rules, as it is almost 80 years ago to the day. I'm HMNZS Achilles.

    Great work, I built their F-101A so have a lot of appreciation of the work you have done.

    Is it possible to leave out most of the engine if you don't want to have open cowlings?
  12. Silver Fox
    Any chance of the sexiest Hunter of them all the T8M?
  13. Silver Fox
    It does look well though especially with the retro reg plate.

    The local car enthusiast has been moving his motoes around to get a new one in. I believe it's a Mitsuoka Viewt. one of his many really nice Type 1s is in the background.

    That is stunning. The Rapide is in my top five favourite aircraft, thank you for posting.

    This is a bit special for me, the kit is a gift from my 13 year old son for Fathers Day. He dragged his mother off to our LHS and chose and paid for it himself. Mum suggested cheaper kits but he said that "he knew what Dad likes" It is the current Airfix kit with added seat belts and decals from the stash. It represents one of 485 Squadrons non presentation marked machines as I had no tiny letters suitable. Most of the early machines were so marked and were Dark Green/Dark Earth so this is a bit of a compromise on my part. He's never been interested in modelling, unlike his big sister, but recently he's built VW Beetle and has another Tamiya vehicle to build. Thanks for looking

    The Aviation Bookshop were selling Volume 2 of Cold War Shield fro £20 at Telford. Might be worth a google?

    I meant to drop my new fangled Blenheim in for a quick visit to show off the new technology that will be all the rage. Sadly it got hijacked by the Bomber Command SIG wallahs doncha know. Brilliant idea and the name brought back so many memories. They were quite rude in a 'Carry on' film double entrendre way.

    Lovely work.

    Lovely work and a realistic finish.

    Just a few figures I dashed off before I dash off to Telford tomorrow to start the set up. I somehow ended up with a small ACW Confederate force as part of a failed club project( I was the only one to build anything and I wanted to do Union!). So after 6 years they are d#fnally going to get onto the table. To celebrate I added a regiment of Perrys infantry and have a gun and crew to finish. So I ended up with an army I don't really want and bought more figures for it? I must be mad. Thanks as always for looking.

    Lovely work. I did the same scheme a few years ago and it is still a favourite.
  23. Silver Fox
    Blinking heck JIm, thats fast and good work. I like the bald headed guys, not something you see often.
  24. Silver Fox
    The Red Kite Battle of Britain books are a top choice. I'm collecting them as well. Not light reading but very thought provoking. If you make it Hall one at Telford, say hi to the short fat guy in the Yellow jacket. Cheers Andy

    Cheers Pete. Is Coningsby and the BBMF on your list?
