  1. Loving your Vampire collection, they look great. Might have to try one myself.
  2. I really like that. I remember reading about this many years ago. I think that’s a great model & a fantastic & very believable colour scheme. Also like the Rotodyne, I’ve never been brave enough to build one!
  3. Nice presentation & very nice finish, red is not an easy colour to get right!
  4. Oh wow, that’s the best ‘Battle of Britain’ Buchon I have seen, fantastic!
  5. Lovely model & fabulous interior. That colour scheme must have been difficult to recreate, love the dayglo orange.
  6. Funnily enough, further to the other guys saying they struggled with the new Meteor, I have too. Also a modeller in mid late 50s, modelling since childhood, I haven’t really enjoyed this kit. It reminds me of their Phantom, far too fiddly, doesn’t fit well & generally a frustrating project. I welcome the idea of a less stressful build, I’ll be giving it a go & hope this is the start of a more enjoyable series of models from Airfix.
  7. Wow, possibly the best Harrier model I have ever seen…
  8. A truly great result. I’ve tried this kit twice (glutton for punishment!) & it’s just not great. As you say, over complicated, doesn’t fit well & Matchbox-like panel lines, it’s such a missed opportunity. Yours really does look phantastic though.
  9. These are great, lovely decals & great photography. Comair in South Africa actually operated a number of 727s in some of these colour schemes as a BA subsidiary back in the 1990s.
  10. Easy build F-35B is a good idea. Imagine how many they can sell to kids at air shows, museums & other events for years to come. Look how much mileage they have had out of their ancient Typhoon (EFA originally!) & Tornado F3 sets. Gannet looks good but some of the reissues with new parts/decals caught my eye, 1/48 Meteor & Hunter in particular. A good spread of releases I think given the current financial climate.
  11. That looks fantastic, a lovely finish. When I used the Alley Cat conversion kit I ended up with so much super glue over my clumsy fingers that I left the Fireflash missiles off!
  12. Wow, really love that, it’s fantastic. You can just imagine the number of hours spent shaping & finishing it. Let’s never complain about a bit of short shot moulding again! Thanks for sharing it.
  13. That looks really great. Honestly, I wouldn’t pin wash it, those panel lines look perfect as they are. The F106 looks fast even standing still!
