No not supplied, they are the Airfix stands that come in a pack of 12 which can be purchased off of Amazon

Here you go, pretty rough but it works. All stuck down using good old super glue. Dave

Good evening all, Here today I have my 2nd attempt at this Revell kit. The first was a disaster, broke pylons, glued the wings too far forward amongst other things. Parts used for this kit were the SBS models nose and pitot tubes and also the freightdog conversion kit. All other little modifications were scratch built (badly) by me and the decals were supplied by Xtradecal. I opted to use tiny neodymium magnets to connect the pylons to the wings which have turned out to work really well. Thanks for looking Dave

I feel your pain, I also did one of these a while back and can confirm that they are a bit tricky to get built up. The canopy is way to thick and needed a lot of thinning down and the lack of locator pins and butt joining wing tips make it tricky to get straight. Yours has turned out lovely though, nice work! Dave

Hi all, Here we have my attempt at the at the Defiant. A great little kit but had to get some aftermarket bits such as the antennas, barrels on the the turret from Quick Boost as the ones in the kit were broken when I opened the box. I also added the nav lights to the tips of the wings with some clear pieces of sprue rather than try to paint the grey plastic. I went for the night fighter version and painted it in Tamiya Nato black with a few panels lightened to try and a bit more variation to the overall one colour. Weathering was done with pastels and AK weathering pencils. Not my best work but still happy with it, let me know what you think and dig me out if warranted lol. Anyway here it is and sorry about the pic quality. Thanks for looking Dave.

Thanks Neil, im happy with it although I'm still trying to get used to those Hataka red line paints, I normally only use Tamiya acrylics.

Hi fellow modellers, This here is one of the last models my mother gifted me for Christmas. She sadly passed away on the 5th of this month after her battle with cancer. The kit itself went together pretty well with a bit of filler needed here and there, the front portion of the canopy was misshapen on the port side so I tried to do the best I could by adding some filler to bulk it out a bit. I used a pilot from the spares box and the purchased the Master pitot from Hannants. Painting was done with Hataka red line and neodymium magnets were used to mount to the airfix base. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out, and as these are pretty clean aircraft I didnt do any weathering apart from the exhaust end but even that was minimal. So anyway here it is... Thanks for looking Dave.

Great information on this particular plane guys. I finished this kit some time ago now and think it turned out ok, if you're interested in seeing it, check it out here..

Thanks guys, appreciate your comments. Lol I know what you mean, I think I have about 27 of these models left to build, mainly the vehicles. But I had to have this one, im a big fan of Mando!

Cheers guys, appreciate all the feedback. I did paint it RAF green first as I was going to be doing the hairspray chipping but totally forgot to put the hairspray on, well done me! I'm no expert on the colours but I'm guessing that having the green underneath gives a more realistic hue to the desert pink as I think that was painted over the green/grey camo. Sorry fella, its the only one I had to hand which looked about right to me.

Thanks Pete.

Hi all, Back here again this time with this Jag, I've added some extra parts as the kit comes with French a2a and not aim 9, also had to use a drop tank from revells tornado and also had use one of the outer pods, the an/alq-101 from the tornado kit and purchased the other one from online. Painted with xtracrylics desert pink. I think it turned out OK but you be the judge. Well here she is. Oh I did mean to do hairspray chipping but forgot to put the hairspray on lol. Never mind aye, maybe next time. Thanks for looking Dave.

Hi Back this time with Bandai's 1/12 Mandalorian. This is the silver beskar coated one so all but the silver bits were painted using Tamiya acrylics. I really like the bandai kits, the figures and the ships they go together really well and the detail on them is great. Ant way enough from me, here he is. This is the way. Thanks .

Thanks guys for the kind words.

Thanks Keith, yeah they are, they definitely add to the look of the kit too and very easy to do. I probably would of liked them to be a touch thicker but thats all I had to hand.
