  1. I am missing pieces for a couple of Tamiya kits, a tank and a racing car, not missing from the box I hasten to add, just gone missing! On the tank, it's one side of the commander's hatch and on the racing car it's one of the mirrors - very small pieces. Tamiya UK tell me they would supply spares but on a whole sprue basis which combined with the cost of p&p would mean it would be cheaper to buy whole new kits for each. What would you do? Looking for any advice.
  2. Superb all but the Bf109 third from last is the stand-out for me.
  3. Sorry bootneck, the comment was for the OP's F-18.
  4. You nearly had me there. I was on the point of googling...
  5. One of best threads ever. And you've got to love the French impressionist box-top art!
  6. A beauty. It's looks like you've miniaturized an actual Gnat!
  7. Cracking job and all the better for the backstory. C'mon Airfix, it's about time you let us have a new mould!
  8. Thanks for the gen fellahs.
  9. I'm about to start building the Tamiya 1/20 RA272 GP racing car and am going to have to buy several paints. I have two or three of the colours I'll need but it's been a while since I did any kit building. Just wondering, do I go for the Tamiya recommendations or attempt to find cheaper/better alternatives?
  10. Superb model and top class photography to boot!
  11. Always nice to see a pilot on board, though it looks like he's ready to make a quick exit!
  12. Lovely job. I have a Wingnuts Camel in the stash that is crying out to be built but the rigging terrifies me.
  13. Always good to have a kit's backstory and a super picture of WO Hyde. Lovely inscription on his stone too.
  14. Super. And always good to see a box top pic alongside a kit.
  15. Love it. Though the comment above about it resembling a decoy job is on the mark!
  16. C'mon, that's the best Fortress we've seen this year! Fighting talk?
  17. Top class cockpit detailing. Kudos!
  18. Top job on the kit and only enhanced further by the super presentation.
