Tamiya 1/72 Mosquito VI 464 Sqdn HX912 ‘SB-F’
stevehnz replied to Rafwaffe's topic in DH Mosquito STGB
Coming along very nicely. My apologies for loosing track of this thread, my modelling & attendance at the font of knowledge ( Britmodeller 🙄 ) has been a bit perfunctory of late, I've been off the boil a bit & struggling with my own projects, let alone keeping track of others, so it's good to see this progressing so well. 👍 Steve.- 20 replies

P-51 Mustang Mk.III 1/72 Arma Hobby
stevehnz replied to Redboost's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
Brilliant, superbly done & looks fantastic. 👍 Steve -
Well here we are, closer to done but I don't know if it's close enough, it'll be touch & go, a lot to do tomorrow. After the previous post I did revisit the colours & ended up with Humbrol 86, 94 & 253 which to my eye gave a better result. I've begun some decalling but still work to do on undercarriage & around the nose, tomorrow will be a big day & if all goes well.......we'll see. Here we are at the close of play tonight. Steve.

Messerschmitt Bf 109 E-4 (1/32 Hobby 2000) Decals Help
stevehnz replied to Mike Eaton's topic in Decals
Did you clear coat after doing the decals? I think that is the usual way before using washes. ( I don't do washes so going on memory of what others say}. Try a clear coat on a part of the model without a decal, let it cure & then try the thinner on it to see if it is the thinner reacting with the decal or with the clear coat. Steve.- 1 reply

Twilight of Democracy by Anne Applebaum, will follow that with Autocracy Inc by the same author. A double headed attempt to try & understand the weird world we're living in just now. Steve.

Thanks Dave, good advice on this & I'll have a go. I'll be happier doing a red Spinner. Steve. -
King's Birthday Flypast over East Anglia June 2025
stevehnz replied to Alpha Delta 210's topic in Aviation Photography
Lovely photos & an impressive line up. I was head scratching at the lead aircraft in the 1st shot, I had no idea the RAF had gone Brazillian. Nice little job though. Steve. -
We're our own harshest critics Simon, as I well know. Steve.

This is a nice line up John, feel free to digress into aeroplanes occasionally. Steve. -
MS AIDAsol, 1/400 Revell cruise ship
stevehnz replied to Alan P's topic in Work in Progress - Maritime
While I generally put modern cruise liners under the heading of abominations, this one manages to look quite cool, With a scheme like that, I could almost be tempted. I'll hang around for a bit. Good to see you back in the saddle. Steve. -
112 Squadron Tomahawk II markings. Looking for info/confirmation
stevehnz replied to stevehnz's topic in Aircraft WWII
Thanks, after reading that, I've decided to go with Dark Green where the original fuselage Dark Green has been repainted with Mid Stone. Based on the photo of this machine, that seems the most likely to me. For better or worse, I think I can see my way forward now. Thanks all. Steve. -
That came up really nicely Simon, they look so good in that scheme & you've caught it well. 👍 Steve.

Brilliant, that looks really good, you've made a super job of this. 👍 Steve. -
1/72 Dream model Mirage 2000 D camo tiger meet 2023
stevehnz replied to validdimas's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
Can you make your photos bigger, about 7 to 8 times bigger would work well with the recommended size on here, As they are they're too small to appreciate what looks like a beautiful model. Steve. -
112 Squadron Tomahawk II markings. Looking for info/confirmation
stevehnz replied to stevehnz's topic in Aircraft WWII
Hi, thanks for that, but it is the same photo I linked to on the 112 squadron website in my initial post & afaics, the only photo out there, Fwiw, the spinner looks black, certainly darker than the adjacent dark earth portion of the camo, & a good match for the black in the shark mouth, also pretty much adjacent. I might be kidding myself, but I think I can see the beginnings of the curve on the top left of the O so I may be able to scale something from the known (?) fuselage roundel size. Would the GA letters be the same size, there are other 112 sqn Tomahawk photos with odd sizes in the codes & Airfix certainly seem to think so. It also appears to me the area behind the rear clear panels has not been repainted to Mid Stone, just something else to ponder. Why do I choose these not so simple subjects. Steve.
