We used MEK at work for cleaning aircraft components and it’s great at removing PRC and other sealants. I’ve used it as a glue for kits for years as it’s brushworthy but does pong. So it’s ventilation is king. Also takes the moisture out of your skin and will make your fingers go white if you have a spillage.

Now that a great model you’ve made there. Just take a look at the front face of the rear canopy piece. In the photos it looks unpainted; the frame that is.

Retail therapy for me.
1. Yellowhammer 1/32 74 Sqn F-4J decals coming from the States.
2. Early walkway Tornado decals 1/32 from Hahen.
feeling nostalgic as I race towards my birthday;
1/72 Airfix Hawk, original box art
1/72 Airfix MRCA, original box art

Well I don’t know has I missed this but I have. Having also built this kit, but not with your extras I think it’s very unique in that it’s a pre-Falklands colour scheme, makes you wonder whether they did exist pre-Corporate!. I’ve often thought about doing another in this scheme but the scars still prevent me from doing another

I’m new to this having tried it some 10 years ago and thought it was crap. But it was me not the product. Moving on I purchased 500 + 1000 2 weeks ago to use on my Hunter build. I’ve painted 500 on top of my go to filler (Plasto). Experimenting with what I’ve got, actually it’s my wife’s Nail product with Acetone (that’s the key)to removing the excess. Now a more focused approach is that this stuff isn’t bad but is not a replacement for the filler of your choice, it’s to compliment it. But as mentioned above I’ve used it on wing/tailplane to fuselage joints and it’s worked really well.

Hi folks, I’m looking at the 1/32 Revell Hunter with the 45 Sqn decals. Did they carry weapons at all as I can’t seem to find any inspiration or references.

I love that, even if you think it’s the wrong shade, that’s brilliant

Hi all. I’m after one of these with or without the Airfix kit. If you’ve got and would let it go drop me a line please.
Steve.

There is a dit from Dave Southwood when he was a Sqn pilot and the over flight of Beirut (Op Pulsar). They flew under US helicopters and they complained. All relative, but it does paint am image

A great little kit rarely seen. You’ve done a great job there.

I’ve found my hard drive but can’t the cable. My son was the last to use it. Stick with it, angry phone call to #1.

I’ve got photo’s of this somewhere. The pilot was Dave Southwood and in the backseat was Peter James. The pods were the usual converted ECM pods from the early days of the Tornado. If you google them you see. Behind each window down the side is a camera mounting position. When not in use there is (I think) a little curtain, which we see as a black square. I’ll try and find my photos, but bear with me…….
Note the extra marks on the fuselage.

Good honest modelling.

I’ve just completed the 16 part video tuition for fusion360. My first question is how do I create a sphere?.

As others, not my scale or subject but I could see me buying one. Well done airfix.

What is the title?
RAF. I saw this and recorded it, so might watch it today. This channel is a great source of archive aviation films, from pre war to the Hunter/lightning in the 60’s. I had loads of tremendous stuff saved recorded on our Virgin box. But if failed and took all the programs with it.

Hopefully this link works. From memory it was grey. If you fast forward to 23.50 help yourself.

It looks great and the finish is spot on. Glad you didn’t go for the patchwork quilt effect
, looks so much better for it.
