I got my 2 sets of legs safe and sound today. Great service and they look great. No short shot problems now Many thanks Chris

nice one. Prefer white against the grey

I'm currently building an Airfix 1/72 Buccaneer in the RN colour scheme from 1976. I'm fitting it with the slipper tanks and 2 radar Martels. The colour call out in the older RAF boxing I also have in the stash is for the Martels to be white but all the radar Martel pics on the internet are green. I can't change the loadout as I've glued the tanks and pylons on so I've got to go with the Martels which are ready for painting Any help appreciated Chris

Morrisons have the Pledge "New Klear". £3.89 I think, its with the furniture polish usually. I've also got some Astonish Flawless, 99p for 750ml from Home Bargain (Orange and Cinnamon scent ) This too has a milky white look to it but seems to do the job Chris

Nice camo job. Got one of these to do myself, probably as a boring grey one. That camo is scary Chris

Bargain. I'll take 2 sets when they're available Chris

Very nice

I've got one, taken two weeks ago Thought i'd taken more but can only find this one Chris

That would look ace. It would need a little figure of the films director, Peter Collinson, who was the one stood at the back of the bus waving the Mini's on. Nobody else dared do it so he had to step up.

This is wicked, a great build. Question is, will all 3 Mini's fit inside when its finished Chris

Ferkin Hell ------£1638. :gobsmacked:

I'm in. My first GB. Got 8 to choose from

1/24 Fujimi mini

I stand corrected

I've heard that even if it was put back as a normal 747, the runway is too short for it to take off.

I sprayed this with Humbrol 11 thinned with Humbrol thinners. Don't know if I got the ratio wrong but when I went to apply a top coat of Klear, it wouldn't stick so this is the natural paint finish. I'm going to revisit this in the future to add some variation to the finish, weathering etc.

Cheers You're a gent. Getting them ordered now Chris

Which stencil sheet is required?. Fancying the Xtradecal early colour schemes Cheers

Well, I saw this at ten to 5 just before I finished work. By ten past 5 I had the only one in Stockport in the car and on the way home. Also, the kit is immense. Amazing value

This book is currently reduced to £6.65 on Amazon. Just ordered myself a copy. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Empire-Clouds-Brit...5936&sr=1-1

Thanks for your replies. However I managed to bag a Fujimi FG.1 off Ebay last night Chris

Its not bad but i wish I'd got the new Revell one instead. I'd forgotten about it and got this 2 days before it came out Still I'd built one when I was younger and remember it being way better than the old Airfix one my mate built. Forgot to say, the main wheels are True Details resin to replace featureless kit wheels and decals are not 100% accurate as I had to make do with some damaged kit decals and some spare Airfix ones. Other than that its OOB

My Matchbox Flying Fortress Recently nearly finished. Just need to paint rudder, add a few guns and finish props. Airbrushed Humbrol 11 and lots of artistic license used.

Just a quick question Is it possible to make a Royal Navy Phantom from the Fujimi Alcock & Brown FGR.2 kit? Are any major modifications required to the airframe. Decals are easy to come by (want to do an Ark Royal Phantom) Thanks Chris
