Hi all Would like to contribute the 1:48th Hasegawa P-40M Warhawk to the build. Cheers Robert Donnelly

Thanks Hawkeye. You have given my cloud a silver lining

So its not that good then. Its not going to wreck my airbrush if i use it? I suppose the polishing cloth will come in handy

Hi folks I have a SnJ products spray metal starter kit. Can anyone tell me the pros and cons of this product. Cheers Robert

Wow!!!!

Hi Tony That looks totally awesome! I have a Hobbycraft Corsair, which i believe is the Trumpeter moulding. This has inspired me to have a go at it. Can you please tell me how you made the air vents for the rear fuselage. Robert

Thanks for that Stonar. I think i will leave the stencilling off. It makes sense why it would be covered in theatre. Those fuselage numbers are a killer in 1/48th never mind 1/72nd

Very nice Don. I think mottle looks great in this scale . Probably because its more difficult to do. Small is beautiful. What type of paint are you using for this project?

Luvely finish. Love the early 109s since i watched the Battle of Britain movie when i was little. Robert

Hi Colin Thanks for that. Will take you up on that offer. I'm surprised you have time to have a hobby. The CPNs i know dont have much time to do anything. My last placement was with them. Working 9-5 every day left me knackered at night. Its better working early shifts at the hospital finishing at 3. Cheers from Robert

Hi Don Thats a nice lookin airbrush. I like the trigger style. I have an Iwata Eclipse, which is nice to use. But i still cannot master mottle. Good luck with the project. Please post when finished. Robert

Hi Don I have a question for you. What does a Grex airbrush look like? It must be a fine piece of kit if it can produce the ring colour scheme on the 109

That looks great Don Are you going to have the engine exposed. Love the colour scheme. Where did you find it? Would like to see it when finished. Robert

Hi Phil Thanks for that. Robert

Hi Plimsol Im thinking about buying this kit, but havent got a clue what colours to use as i find revell colour matches/mix ups difficulf to do. Robert

I can remember building the Airfix Beaufighter myself when i was in primary school aroundabout 1972. My uncle used to build them for me. But that was my first solo effort. Robert

Excellent piece of work Ed. Would love to try lozenge decalling. Are they easy to use? Robert

Thankyou all for your advice. Robert

I see. The camouflage was provided in the form of decals. The only paint work was the RLM 76. I think it looks a bit toy like at the moment, have to weather it a bit. The engine looks great though. Will post when finished

hi folks Can someone please tell me where can i buy distilled water for thinning acrylic paints? Is it the same as de-ionised water used for car batteries or am i way off track? Robert

Hi all! I have finally finished my psychiatric nurse training. Looking for work now. I have got back to the hobby and have started this: What happens to the stenciling when aircraft are in the field? Finemolds provide a large amount of stencils. Should i have put them on the fuselage before i added the camouflage decals? I wish i could airbrush as good as this. Robert

Hi Plastic Thanks for the advice. I joined photobucket and am now compiling my family album

Hi It was easy to stick together. Supreme German engineering at its finest! I used Eduard masks and did the camouflage with bluetack. I remember reading something about the 177s engines being dodgy. Something about drive shafts I think? Robert

Thanks Iain I'm going to lie down now

Whoohoo ive nailed it!
