At Sea

Seafire XV using MkXII and MkXVII kit bash. I know the decals represent an RNAS Culham XVII but it was a bit of artistic licence.

MkXII, Airfix kit OOB apart from Quickboost seat.

MkVb from very old Airfix kit using Baraccuda decals except the LO-W and Queen Salote from the box.

Mk1 from Airfix kit. Xtradecals. Humbrol enamels.

Please be patient... Adding pictures shortly...

I think everyone goes through this phase. Here are some of my 1/48 Airfix Spits. Humbrol paints, quick boost seats, Rob Taurus vac canopies. Some aftermarket decals. Enjoy. :-)

Very nice, most impressive is the sense of movement.

Nice. How much does the pre shading show through the camo?

Nice copper & brass work. Good idea!

Blimey!

Stunning. Hoping that a new tool Halifax III will give us mere mortals a chance of acheiving a decent Halifax. My grandfather was navigator with 433sq RCAF mainly on BM-J.

Lovely!

Turned up just in time... My RAF Xtradecal sheet has arrived. Goldstars 31 sq in wraparound camo coming up! :-)

Cockpit removed would look good, especially as a diorama having a major overhaul. As for 1:48 in card. No other help other than a big pat on the back and a huge amount of anticipation in seeing the finished project!

Please delete me.

Airfix have a strategy to liven up their range with a new 'WIFF' line up for 2016! All the same aircraft with random decals added. For the advance modeller there is a the series 5 WHIFF with and random sprues they could find in a box...

Hello, insubordination be danmed, I'm Merchant Navy & proud of it. ;-) Yes I am planning a WIP as I plant to build a Norm 76 Marineflieger with underwing resin Komorans and a little resin elsewere. Sort of a Melchie-lite build but in the colours of the hun. Seeing how it goes I fancy doing a Luftwaffe Norm 83 & an RAF GR1 from 31 sq in wraparound green grey as well, mainly as I cannot decide and have space for all 3! :-)

Have been reading this with interest having just purchased a Revell Tornado but (and no offence chaps)... ...can we have some modelling please! :-)

Thank you chaps. Friends fix friends posts! :-)

Hello, I have decided to start a project to build some of my favourite colour schemes of Tornado. RAFG wraparound green & grey Tornado, Marinerleiger Grey over white and Luftwaffe black and green (schwartz & Grün?). I also quite like the idea of doing an F3 as well to add to my UK airdefence themed cabinet. The question I have is which kit is best OOB 1/48 for the GR1 / IDS? I am happy to add a little resin to adapt and IDS to a GR1 or vice versa but really want to avoid pig kits that need serious modelling just to fit. Is the Revell Kit that General Melchitt has pinned the best? Also which is the best 1/48 F3? Any advice on decal sheets as well is appreciated, I was thinking of IX squadron for my RAFG and 5 for my F3 but no idea for the MFG or the Luftwaffe ones. Thank you. :-)

Junglie! :-)

So happy this year. Shack, Whitley, Beau in 1:72 and a new 1:48 Hurricane. Noticed as well the 1:48 Spitfire with open gun bays. I can see all sorts of possibilities in the future, the LIDAR scanning is going to make small scale detail much better. Expecting 1:48 detail at 1:72 and 1:24 detail at 1:48 soon. The Halifax should be amazing when it comes out! ;-)

Awesome, thank you. Plenty to get on with there!

Oh! Some ideas would be helpful. I have so far... Phantom F4D Vigilante Intruder Sea King Skyhawk Corsair Crusader Skyraider
