Pure nostalgia - Airfix 1/24 Me-109E
Hairy Stickler replied to tomprobert's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
Lovely job Tom. A real oldie but goodie (thanks to you)!! I did get the Matchbox 109 in 1/32 for a birthday present (we're talking 1977-ish) but I don't think that I ever finished it. Lord knows where it ended up (probably consigned to the bin by my folks when they moved - with a shedload of Airfix plastic soldiers)! Good to see something from another Kent builder. I grew up in Staplehurst. Best regards Peter -
Hawker Hurricane Mk.I 242 Squadron 1940
Hairy Stickler replied to Mattp7999's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
Lovely job Matt. You can't beat a well made Hurricane (and it's nice to see one that isn't the Arma kit - with all due respect to Arma who've engineered a great model). Thanks very much for sharing. Hope to see more of your work. Best regards Peter -
Airfix 1/72 Spitfire Mk. 1a
Hairy Stickler replied to Brian C.'s topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
Super job! Very pleased that you persevered with it. I have one of these in the cupboard so a build for 2024 I think. Hopefully it will turn out as good as yours. Thanks very much for sharing. Best regards Peter -
Fork-tailed Devil in 48th by Tamiya
Hairy Stickler replied to Mick Drover's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
What can I say that hasn't been said already? Thanks very much for sharing. Does anyone have any suggestions for a decent 1/72 P38 (I am a man of limited storage)? I should be asking in another area? Best regards Peter- 27 replies

Hobbyboss 1/72 Corsair's FAA.
Hairy Stickler replied to stevej60's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
Two lovely examples of the bent-winged widow maker (until it was tamed by the FAA). Thanks very much for sharing. To my everlasting shame, my FAA GB entry is still in the box! Best regards Peter -

Hairy Stickler replied to SaminCam's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
Super job! Invasion stripes really well done (speaking as someone who has just struggled to do some for the first time)!! Thanks for sharing Best regards Peter -
1/72 KP Supermarine Seafire Mk 1b
Hairy Stickler replied to Hairy Stickler's topic in Here comes the Fleet Air Arm GB
I'm almost embarrassed to say that I've never built one before (although I've made a fair few of its landlubber cousin)!! -
Evening All, Thought that I would give this one a go as I had read some good things about it. Just to kick things off , here's where we are now As you can see, not a lot done so far but I won't really get going until I get back from holiday (off to Sweden for a few days next week). I will try and remember to post my progress as I go along. Best regards to all Peter

Soviet helicopter Mil-4A TRUMPETER 1/48
Hairy Stickler replied to IGKent's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
I'm not normally a fan of "whirly-birds" but that's a super job! Excellent paint and finish. Did you add a lot of additional riveting detail? Thanks very much for sharing. Best regards Peter -
Hawker Hurricane R4118
Hairy Stickler replied to Johnny Tip's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
Lovely hurricane. Thanks for sharing. As regards scales, I'm firmly in the 1/72 camp. Normally, I would say that one of my reasons was "speed of build" but I've been working on an Arma 1/72 P51b since January.....🤣!! Best regards Peter -
Messerschmitt Bf 109 G-6 Tamiya
Hairy Stickler replied to Pier Grizi's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
Lovely Gustav! Unusual and effective paint scheme. Heard lots of good things about the Tamiya kit in God's own scale. Possibly one for next year....... Thanks for sharing Best regards Peter -

Focke-Wulf Fw 190A-5 JG54 - Eduard 1:72
Hairy Stickler replied to Mig88's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
A superb job and a great example of what you can achieve with the old "hairy stick"! I am planning on a few more Luftwaffe aircraft in 2024 (workbench fully booked for 2023) and shall definitely be taking a look at this Eduard kit. Thanks very much for sharing Best regards Peter -

Err...I'm not at all sure what is going on here now!! The KP Seafire ready and waiting for the off. Looking forward to seeing everyone else's builds. Best regards to all on the longest day Peter -
Super job (if your finishes are that good with a tricky colour, I love to see one of your builds in an easy colour)!! Thanks very much for sharing Best regards Peter
