Duxford1985

Lovley 1/700 HMS Liverpool can't wait to see it with my own eyes! 👀👍

After a trip to the A&E dept and have to have a couple of days of work i thought it would be a great time for some bench work. 💪😊 I have decided to change my mind and do a eurofighter that is from 17 squadron. As i felt i wanted to use all the armaments that is in this kit. I am getting better at putting the very small decals on. Any good tips on how i could improve my build would be greatly received.💪

Hi alhenderson Thanks for the update regarding the QRA jets and them using missiles i just copied what it said in the instructions and forgot i was doing a QRA jet. Much appreciated for your message. Adam 😊👍

Hi Owl1975 (jimmy) Yes i had trouble with the cockpit joining it to the aircraft at the front of the cockpit i believe it was not correctly made by airfix.

Thanks mark.au for the advice much appreciated will keep that in mind😁

I still like to paint the model as this is a 1.72 scale model. Happy with the colour mixing of the paint. There is always improvements to be made. I am still finding it hard to make the both cockpit parts to come together well and using pva glue to glue the cockpit to the model. What do other people use to secure the cockpit to the model any suggestions greatly received. There will soon have the decels on it dont know which squadron it will be. My son keeps going when will daddy finish this as i want it on my ceiling 💪👍

Found some time in the man cave!!!!! Its been a long time since i have done a update on the build. Happy with the grey prime applied to the jet. Had a little trouble with the fit of this canopy and with a little bit of glue on the canopy as well 🤔🤯. I am so happy with the fuel probe as it was so hard to get it just right. Started on the 1000 litre fuel tank and the 2 x storm shadows. ✈️

So started this 1.72 airfix eurofigher from my collection. Started with the cockpit didnt want to use the decals for the control panel so painted them on as best i could Any comments about my ongoing build would be very much appreciated.

The torch was at the end of the tunnel it was there. Happy with the outcome of the P51 mustang. Many techniques used for the first time and loved using the airbrush . This is my 3rd model i have done improving step by step. This is hanging up in my son room. He will be very excited with a silver plane. #youngplanespotter

Last day at home before going back to work tomorrow as covid free 💪. The wife and son was away so took over her office! Had a couple of hours on the bench and completed alot the fuel tanks attached/ front piece of cockpit and some touching up with the paint brush. I know i am getting better every model i do and also get better and learning different techniques.

Wheels are always trouble for me but this time i am pleased with the result of the aircraft wheels

Loving this model great build 💪😊

Its been a little while since i have posted on here got some modeling done because Mr Covid came and said hi. learning lots of modeling techniques through out the build. Made some small mistakes with decals along the way but this is how you i can improve for my next model. When it come to aircraft wheels i always find this the part i have trouble with. Onwards and upwards to the next step of the build the P51 Mustang. .

Well done iceni love the way that you have displayed the vulcan. Welcome to the britmodeller 👍💪

Love this diorama loving the detail and weathing of the tank and most of all the subject of the diorama. Great work also with the Cad getting those extra pieces to go on the diorama. Will follow this with great interest. Thanks for sharing
