I have absolutely no idea what this is all about, but it looks great

Congratulations Pete

Another nice one Pete (and I'm hoping that Chris's new glider will be making an appearance too...)

Good man, John!

I think you're right Tony and I can remember being very impressed with the results that you've achieved. I've tried using acetate sheet a couple of times, but found it a bit of a struggle (particularly with compound curves). So nowadays I'm relying on polishing up the Airfix parts as best as I can - Micromesh cloths to start with, followed by a coat of floor polish. Here's the polished up windscreen from my ongoing Maxi build. Unfortunately, I don't have a 'before' picture but it was pretty bashed about from my kit's chequered history.

It's good to see you back in action and this one under way

Yes, for sure. Definitely part of the Airfix experience for many of us (especially the OO/HO series, in my case!). In fact, I think we've already got some one piece figures and railway accessories in the Group Build 👍. Cheers

Luckily, beauty is indeed in the eye of the beholder

Thanks for your comments guys 👍 @PeterB I remember those foot operated dip switches and lace-on steering wheel covers so clearly. I learnt to drive in my dad's 1100, which had both. @davecov It's great to see those two instruction sheets. I suppose it's not a surprise that there were others from the time that had such photos. It looks like I might have a few more in my stash then, that have them too . Interesting also, to see how sporty the Rapier was. @John Part of me was thinking that maybe I shouldn't be breaking open and building my example - but that thought quickly passed! Cheers

That's not how I'd describe the Shetland, but thank you nevertheless

There was a scheme with stripes that I quite fancied, but I couldn't get the masking tape to stick.

We definitely need some automotive inspiration here . This is all I can offer - it's the 1/32 Hornby kit of a 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer WRC.

Thanks Ian . To be honest, your Skyline is much more interesting! I'll be using Zero paint on my Subaru too. It'll my first time, so am looking forward to seeing how it turns out. Cheers

We don't see that many airliners in BM Group Builds and even fewer freighters. A great choice!

Yes, cool it is!
