    Hi all, So finished this build fairly quickly for my standards and I think its testament for what a nice little kit it is. There were a few minor issues mainly the tail to fuselage join (which in hindsight seems like it could be much more straightforward) but all in all a really enjoyable build. One thing I did do that's worth pointing out is swapping the target crosshair from just in front of the screen to a PE part off an old Eduard German gun sight, this gives for better scale. Some of the lights which I hope you will see on the tips of the wings were just the clear parts and before adding them on i touched them with red and green sharpies. This is the first time I have tried this effect and it works perfectly. Thanks for looking.

    I love a 262 and this one is really nice, the paintwork is spot on and the photos really show it off nice.

    Agree with Tony, a great outcome for what's intended as a toy. Nice finish

    Thanks Sean, sevenoakes is a bit of a trek for me to be fair but may look up the east kent one at some stage if I ever get time. My rare free time is when I do my modelling to be honest so sharing my builds on here will have to be good enough for now, and I'm looking forward to it. Cheers all.

    Thanks guys, worth mentioning that i didnt have any ref material for this build so just went for a otb build this time with just some wire and small details added here and there.

    There is some really good work going into this build and I have enjoyed reading through. I have one of these old eduard tempest kits in the stash and have heard of the scale problems ect so this will be a handy reference going forward.

    Hi guys, So this is my first post as a newbie on here, it's my Hasegawa P40e Warhawk that was purchased as a Easter present from my lovely lady. I'll put some photos of bits and bobs that I have done up to now as I'm nearly finished so it's not that detailed a walk through I'm afraid. I would say I think she paid about £20 for it and it's a great little kit to be fair and has been an enjoyable build. The detail is good especially the landing gears. I had a lot of filling and rubbing to do on the fuselage as the tail end is separate, in highnsight I probably should have glued half the tail onto each fuselage half first then put them together but there you go. Hopefully you'll see these pictures: As you can hopefully see I have painted the shark mouth rather than go with the decal and the aux tank and gears are on, just a few more bits and pieces and a little weathering and it should be done. Thanks for viewing. Phil

    Is there a website for the club at all?

    Hi Pigsty, model club? What does that involve then? Not sure I would be good enough to compete if that's what's involved.

    Cheers Mark and thanks to everyone for such a warm welcome so far!

    Hi Mike, Yes I meant switching forums. More of a bad joke than anything. Seems like there's a lot of talent on here, I have a build in progress which I will finish on the other forum but is it worth showing it on here too?

    Hi all, I have been modelling for the last couple of years now after not touching a kit since I was young. To be honest I joint a forum to learn the "New game" which i did and got lots of help but it seems as though a lot of people have left and also there isn't much content on my favourite field which is aircraft. I might be making a forum taboo by doing this but am just looking for some more inspiration I suppose. Is this a faux pas? Will I be frowned upon? Kind regards Phil
