Kitchen Modeller

Very nice work - decals must have been challenging - came out great

Loads of great work here. Love your diorama of the Apollo Extraction - very nice...

Thanks for the positive comments guys - I’m really enjoying getting back into the hobby and it’s great that there’s such a friendly community here. Hopefully this will be the first of many posted here...!

Thanks for that fellas - @FatFlyHalf - I concede your point about the panel lines - I'm still very much in the learning stage regarding everything - I had terrible trouble with getting panel lines to show up at all on previous builds so probably went overboard on this one - I agree that very dark panel lines are probably not always the best route on a 1:72 model. @neil5208 I didn't realise that the swastikas were missing from the decal sheet - if they were there I would have put them on... I have a few other Luftwaffe kits in my stash so I'm sure I can find a couple of spares.

Hi all - like many here, I’m recently returned to the hobby after about 30 years away - bought a model for my kids and rediscovered how much I enjoy fiddling and painting plastic. This is my 7th build all up and the first one I’m reasonably happy with. First one painted with my new airbrush which I’m very happy with. Airfix kit - quite recent I think, painted with Tamiya acrylics. Used oils for the weathering. Nothing on the work that’s posted here but a step in the right direction for me I hope! Thanks for any feedback and apologies for the smart phone photography.
