[1/72nd Avro York of 241 OCU Mach 2 kit]

Not to hijack the thread but have you seen the book "Mother  Worked at Avro"? by Gerald Myers.. Well worth a look if you are interested in the Yeadon site. I bet they weren't hoarding toilet paper... Sadly it is hugely expense on Amazon. If you pm me his name I'll see if there is any reference to him

Blimey Tony, it's not a time to be cutting back!!!!!!

[J34 Hawker Hunter - Airfix 1/48]

Great work on the seams, I'm very impressed with the liquid sprue method. I used it for years but completely stopped about ten years ago. Now I will have re assess. 

[SH-2G SUPER SEASPRITE]

Just caught up with this, great work, I have one in the stash so you are on point duty. The photos from @Charlienz are a great help.

[Midway Defender - Marine Buffalo ***Finished***]

Good look, but I'm sure you will be fine.

[Hunter T.8 - Airfix/Aerocraft 1/48]

Lovely work, to my eyes  the two seater looks sleeker than the single  seater.

[J34 Hawker Hunter - Airfix 1/48]

I hope you don,t think I'm trying to hijack your thread, but I hope this gives you an idea of what I did and how much filler I used. I still have to fit the lower wings and inserts so it might all go horribly wrong. 

 

[Eduard 1/48 Messerschmitt Bf 110C]

The exhausts look fabulous. Well done.

[J34 Hawker Hunter - Airfix 1/48]

I've tried attaching the leading edge individually and whilst they need some light filling they are not too bad so far.  Shame Airfix didn't mould a whole new wing but I guess cost came into it. 

 

Lovely sun rise as well.

[J34 Hawker Hunter - Airfix 1/48]

One year I had to do Christmas cover,I was stuck in the office on my own and  I was bored out of my head as nothing was happening, so on the second day  I brought a box of wargames figures and paints in. I painted about 40 of them over the remaining two days: - result.

Looking forward to seeing this completed. I wargamed the  Battle about 25 years ago with Peter Gilder. Great fun.

[What model aircraft magazine should I get]

My SIG is old fashioned, we communicate through e-mails and and I produce a electronically distributed newsletter. We also meet at model shows, As I say I don't use Facebook.

[J34 Hawker Hunter - Airfix 1/48]

Looking good, I think @stever219 is correct, it is better to finish the whole wheel bay. 

 

I'm almost at the same sta, but have attached the new wing leading edges to the wings already. They are not a good fit, maybe that's down the builder, but I'm going to check back and see how you did. 

 

Enjoy working from home, I found I got a lot more done and  didn't have to worry about getting smartly dressed. Save nearly 2 hours commuting. .I did it  for convenience, so awful to have to do it in the current circumstances. My condolences for the loss of your father.

I've deviated from the instructions here by cutting the wings as required but adding each of the four replacement leading edge halves to the SEPARATE upper & lower wings (rather than assembling the replacement leading edges & adding them to assembled wings).  Suspected I'll get a better, trouble free fit.  Time will tell in a few days when I continue the build!

Let us know how it goes I'm at that stage myself

[Hunter T.8 - Airfix/Aerocraft 1/48]

Looking really sharp, I'm just building an F4, but my hand has been hoovering over the  buy button on the Aerocraft web site. If the lock down  becomes worse I''l be having one.

[What model aircraft magazine should I get]

I've been a member of IPMS for 34 years and have never used Facebook. The magazine is a good general magazine and there are lots of local groups and SIGs to join. I wouldn't be without it

[RNLAF RF-84 Thunderflash - Tanmodel 1/48]

Lovely work, as you say a great kit but it has challenges, Still I wish I could find another at a reasonable price.

[Pontic militia fighter 1919]

another cracking figure. I wondered if you had stopped doing them, now I know better.

[F-102 Revell-Monogram 1/48]

Having built three of them I know the amount of work you have put in to getting such a stunning model. 

[2nd Battalion, 1st Berg Infantry]

My second major unit of my new force, the 2nd Battalion , 1st Kleve-Berg infantry.

 

 For a change I used the newish Citadel Contrast paints for the main uniforms.

Tye chaps on the left were painted in the said paint over a white undercoat, the chaps on the left use my usual technique of Vallejo white over a black undercoat.  The faces and hands a of the left hand base  are  also contrast paint. Not convinced but   I'm going to stick with the Contrast paint and have bought dark Blue and Dark Green for further units.

 

Thanks for looking.

Is there a better feeling in modelling than the one you get when you lift the masking tape, none of the paint has bled underneath and the tape doesn't lift any paint?

 

 

I don't know, it has never happened to me. Great work, I am very tempted by the conversion but holding out for the T8M.

Looks great, I’m building the old Hasegawa 1/72 kit at the moment in the In The Navy group build and will be happy if it turns out this well.

 

One thing though, the folded wings are too upright, they should be angled out more.

 

AW

Cheers, I spotted the angle but as the wings are not fixed I can alter them. Nice work on your Panther.

[F9F-2 Panther]

A fun build for a change, no issues with the fit very little filler needed and no self induced screw ups.

 

I don't normally build  planes with the wings folded but it takes the eye away from the too flat canopy.

 I used a Print Scale sheet for  a MiG killer flown by Ensign Frederick Weber of VF-31 in 1`950. These conformed  really well without much in the way of solvent.

 

Thanks for looking.

[Classic Airframes DH Vampire T.22]

Brings all  the pain back for me. I had all the same issues but you have done a great job. I  remember trying to fit the belly plate and watching it drop into the rest of the fuselage. In the end I used a series of plastic strips to hold ot on place and sanded down the outer edges to get a reasonable fit. I later built an Alley Cat FB5 and it was a complete joy. I hoped they would  do the two seaters as well but no joy there.
