Love it! I'll take at least 3!

I have the Eduard Tiffie 1/48 Typhoon, which was a candidate for the ANZAC group build, but if I can't wait it can go here being a Car-Door Typhoon which was an Interceptor originally!

Thank you. I used Tamiya AS4 lightly dusted over halfords grey primer and Tamiya AS30. Humbrol dark olive for the ring just aft of the radome as this separate panel is green underneath where it meets the high speed silver, so I painted it a different dark green for interest sake. I was called back to sea a little earlier than expected so have this an the SHAR on hold for a moment, but not a bad point to break.

We have paint! some minor corrections required but very happy so far.

Sorry for the lack of updates, Sherry trifles, port & cheese got in the way! On the home stretch now, kept the weathering light, these aircraft were newly painted and although they lived outside the had plenty of salt water, rain water, WD40 and clean air flow. I used MigAmmo Starship Filth, picked up every panel line & wiped it all off. This left a oily sheen but no dirt. Exhaust staining was the only place I went to town on, Starship Filth & then some black eye shadow while it was still wet.

Why use paint when you could use the real thing... ...realistic bleaching effect.

Is it an aggressor tank? Simulating a 'Insert flavour of the month enemy here' tank to train our tank crews for a potential future engagement? The MOD saying they are 'trialling schemes' would be good cover to avoid the inevitable furore over any idea we would prepare ourselves to go to war in Eastern Europe.

I have decided which version to build from my Airfix kit, which will be XS577 of 899 squadron (the box art version) so happy to spare squadron markings and codes for the others, but will need to retain the stencils I'm afraid. PM me.

Great project! If you want to keep your international sales costs down then sell them on eBay & use the global shipping program. You only pay UK postage. Yes there are ebay fees but cheaper overall.

They are small. They can come in funky colours. I'm in! 1/48 Alconbury aggressor for me.
-
This is very interesting... so where do we stand on the red intake rings on XH889? I can't imagine that even a wartime night fighter ace would get authorisation to paint over a coating on a jet intake! Gloster Javelin FAW Mk9 Part 2 - AviationMegastore.com

That's amazing! Thank you.

I am doing lots to the house, once finished I am having one of those oak framed timber car ports... I quite like the idea of a giant Lancaster hanging from the rafters with a suitably British GT car underneath. As the shopping list for the next 18 months includes a new kitchen, timber bi-fold doors, a garage and a DB9 I think I can sneak the HK Lancaster in as part of the renovation budget... I may have to invoke the 25% rule and get some sub assembly out the way in advance!

Always fancied having a Dutch F-16A in my collection, so yes please!
-
Yes! I am toying with the idea of the 1/32 HK Lancaster... Which is both!

Yes please. 1/48 Rafale and hopefully Syhart get around to doing the full tiger stripe decals for the Rafale M as displayed at the last few years airshows! -
60 year anniversary Lockheed C-130 Hercules STGB anyone?
At Sea replied to hgbn's topic in Bunfight Archives
Yes please, Falklands era in 1/72 for me. Love a bit of grey green camo! -
I'm in! Scratch built 1/48 B-36 Aerial Atomic Research Lab... Just kidding. Defiantly in, but either a V-Bomber or maybe a 1/35 Davy Crockett Jeep.

Fonderie Minature Dassault SMB2 Super Mystere B-2 1/48
At Sea replied to Colin W's topic in Interceptors GB
FM have quite reputation! Hopefully this one is kind, but in any case I'm sure it'll be instructive to watch. -
Yes it's almost like re-learning how to do it! So much of my job is mental, very little physical outlet and the time spent quietly working away on kits is very calming.
