Thank you very much for the information! I’ve had a look and ordered some generic stowage sets. Had tried to search for this sort of thing but without the correct term didn’t have much look! Cheers JJC

Good morning gents I’m very new to AFV modelling, having recently plumped for the Airfix ‘mystery box’ set of 1:35 vehicles. My main aim with these kits is to depict them as war-weary and ‘well used’ as possible - much like the excellent box art of the recent kits. My question is, is there a source of ‘extras’ to add to these models to depict them as per the boxart - for example - on the Tiger I boxart, the tank has spare track attached to the front which does not appear to be included in the box. The same goes for tents / sandbags etc on some of the American kits. https://uk.airfix.com/products/tiger-1-late-version-a1364 Is there somewhere I can obtain extra track for jobs like these, or is it simply a case of accumulation spares? I’ve seen there are pricey replacement metal tracks etc available online. Apologies for the lengthy post / possibly silly question - this is all very new to me!! Cheers JJC

Hi guys, many thanks for the kind comments! To answer your question, Logical, the spotting effect on the 109 was accomplished by mixing a shade approx. 50/50 of the colour mixed for RLM 65 with RLM 02. I then used a fine paint brush to paint on the areas randomly, until I liked the look of the effect created Cheers, JJC

Hi guys, I'm a long-time lurker of this forum and have recently decided to show off a few of my builds (they've never been anywhere close to good enough before now!) Everything in this thread has been built since January this year (I've made a return to modelling as a stress-reliever between pieces of uni work!) So without further ado, here they are...not upto much compared to most on here, but I'm quite proud of them... All C&C welcome, let me know what you think! :smile: Italeri 1/48 P-40 Kittyhawk Pips Priller's FW-190 (Italeri 1/48) Adolf Galland's Bf-109 E-4 (Airfix 1/48) Arthur Clowes' Hurricane I (Airfix 1/48 - old tool) Airfix 1/48 Spitfire II (old-ish tool) Thanks for looking, JJC :smile:

Amazing info - thank you muchly gentlemen!

Hi guys, I'm about to start a series of projects based around European demo F-16s. A staple of these display jets are the smokewinders seen fitted to wingtips - does anyone know where I can procure some, or if some can be easily fashioned in other ways? Cheers, JJC

My favourite mustang scheme, bar none! Fabulous looking aircraft and build

Very smart, especially the 'chipping' effect - very rugged and realistic :-)

Concurred! Nice patch too

Love posters like this, really retro! fascinating

Great shots, not somewhere you see everyday! Looks like the Turkish have a good grasp on preservation of their Air Force types

Unusual looking (typically Russian though!) Fantastic :-)

Love the Pembrokes :-) Belgian roundels look brilliant Also a fan of the golden hawks Harvard (texan?) Great!

Incredibly wacky yet brilliant!

SA sure does have a brilliantly varied aviation scene awesome that ThunderCIty are back

In awe of builds like this! Looks like it could be out on the flightline!

Thanks very much for the advice my friend! I appreciate any and all comments for improvement of my shots, I'm still a relative novice! Thanks for the kind words, JJC

I thought the series was an interesting enough look at an absolutely fascinating period of history! Certainly a subject which I find myself able to read widely about, without loosing any interest

Stunning! The phantom looks brilliant in this scheme!

Very sleek, great finish and great scheme!

Just the one, from Duxford's September airshow - a shot I've been after for a while! C&C welcome Thanks, JJC

Certainly unusual! Lovely looking build though

The grey really suited the hawk, looked great as a frontliner in my opinion! The 92 tail really sets the scheme off though

BOAC aircraft always look excellent, such a classy scheme

Wow! It's like a Thunderbirds machine Stunning!
