Some great cars at the meet Pete @Pete in Lincs, that Volvo PV544 for me please, they look lovely.  That Polo Mk2 Coupe looks fab too.  Used to have a 1300 one of those, was quite nippy .  Always fancied  G40 one but out of my price range unfortunately.

Thanks for sharing those.

Great Nomad Chris !!

Painting the serials included in the stripes....

Waoow !! Amazing job !! You raised the bar far too high for my stubby fingers !!

Sincerely.

Thanks, that's very kind CC, the yellow for the serials was a different shade so had to be done.  Now come on, you know you want to do one

Glad to hear you got the back pain sorted, that is horrible to have.

Chris

[1:72 DAF RAAF Duo]

Superb progress Roger, I like the Conversion of the Airfix Tiffie , that is coming on well ( got one fairly recently so I can give this kit a try ).  The Kittyhawk looks absolutely lovely as you have built and as a kit too.  I am sorry to hear if the recent Mojo slump fella and hopefully these too kits have rejuvenated the mojo levels back up.

 

Great work on both, looking forward to seeing the paint go on.

The Seafire is looking amazing, Chris, absolutely superb! Shame about the canopy but good to know you've got a replacement already in place. This has been a great build to follow with lots of inspiration 

 

Cheers, 

Mark 

Thanks Mark, that is really kind.  Thank you for your support and encouragement too.  I hope you enjoy building your Seafire too.  Yes thank goodness for spare Tamiya canopy sections.  Just gotcto paint it now without knocking the aerial mast.

Looks fantastic, Chris, I'll bet you're glad you persevered? You're a master at these TT schemes!

 

Cheers, 

Mark 

Thanks Mark, very kind, not sure about being a master though😃 I do like the challenge of painting them.   I think that the mojo levels with the Seafire may have affected my enthusiasm for this one and the panel line wash issues was a step too far at the time. Glad I carried on though.

Looks great, you won’t miss that one on the shelf!

Thanks Robinn, it certainly will stand out.  Shame its not 48th scale though as would sit perfectly next to my RCAF Ventura TT in the same Oxydol scheme.
