  1. I was there this year and it was fantastic. Did anyone else think 50k for one of those DBR1 replicas looked like a great deal? My brother even wriggled his way into a TR5 for the friday track parade.
  2. I was leaning towards some tamiya clear yellow in some future but wanted someone else to try it first!
  3. Sounds like a great idea, the cockpit is the most interesting part to do of many modern jet build. Saying that I wouldn't mind some more of Eduard's lovely 1/4 scale panels.
  4. Holy moly thats some kit! Only one decal option tho? Lets hope they do a GR.4
  5. Looking great so far, how are you going to tint the windscreen. It's the only thing stopping me starting it.
  6. I found his Phantom book very informative if a little heavy going at times but worth the read.
  7. Supposing warbird racing had really kicked off in the 80's / 90's? Surely then major sponsors would have got behind it?
  8. Something other than Eurofighters and F-16s!
  9. Great story and a nice scheme.
  10. Because some people seem keen? I have put some of these up before but the benetton and gulf are new to me!
  11. I built this for somebody and just knocked up the base to finish it off but didn't have any figures to go on it.
  12. Yeah the bottom half are slot cars. Just need a decent permanent track!
  13. I set/sol'd the life outta that sucker! I only went with the decals because the white ones in the 72c were so good! Thanks for the kind words.
  14. Here is my latest effort, built from the box and sparyed with Humbrol's 239 from a rattle can. The nose decal was horribly thick and cracked over and over again. And here it is in the cabinet.
  15. Updated to show the base. Drip tray made from wine bottle foil and filled with black/brown wash and Tamiya smoke.
  16. Picked this up at Telford, looking forward to see if it builds as good as it looks in the box.
  17. Always liked the big trumpy kits so looking forward to this one. Looks awesome so far.
  18. Ditto the above, my fin to side decal fit was horrible!
  19. Thats very tidy! I like the markings too. The Revell re-pop should be reasonably priced too so well worth picking up.
  20. Built Mostly from the box with some resin wheels and a little scratch building to open crew hatch and blank of a few resulting gaps. Weathering was with Tamiya smoke and pastels.
  21. Not so! It was only about 7 decals! Massive amounts of thick but very fragile carrier film. The 1:48 Academy phantoms have a huge amount of individual stencils though. Shalako would you believe it is trying to finish a 1:700 HMS Zulu with etch and the 1;48th Academy f-4b.
  22. Thankyou everyone, I did wonder about weathering but didn't want to balls it up.
