Many thanks

I am looking for some assistance - I opened my ICM I-15 Chato - 1/72 box only to find the assembly instruction pages missing - the paint schemes are there but no assembly pages - can anyone help? Thanks in advance G

Nice - can I ask what the blue paint you used was?

Nice - how are the old are the old Heller chopper model - I quite like some of the old aircraft.

Looks way better than my effort of the Heller version!!!! May have to seek one out to add to my growing Polish Collection! And I have got loads of decals left from a PZL 11 & 7, a Los, 2 Karas (and 2 further pzl 11's in the stash)

Not sure if you can still get it - but Lakeland do stuff called Quick Shine Floor Finish - works a treat for me (it's made in the USA but available in the UK) http://www.lakeland.co.uk/20286/Quick-Shine-Floor-Finish

Cheers Guys - I have a Heller PZL11c - might try and do the 2 together and compare

Bought these three on a trip to Poland last week from a nice Polish Gentleman from the Phantom Model shop in Krakow - don't know anything about the ICM model (approx £6)- the other two MisterCraft cost the equivalent of £1.65 a pop - given my lack of skill I'm not worried if I cock them up - I have built other PZL's before - but at £1.65 hey! Anyone know anything about the models and what Airfix colour maps to Lufthansa Blue? Any info good or bad gratefully received! http://

Nicely done - I have this very kit (not started) anything I should know about it before starting?

R Your kind offer reinforces the helpfull attitude of all on the forum - I am tracking a 1/72 Airfix kit of an Islander - hopefully know by tomorrow - if I get it I would like to take up your offer - will be back in contact tomorrow Thanks G

Thanks again Rick - might give it a go - don't fancy the Hercules - too big - I have photo of the lucky little swine in the Pilots seat of the Hercules with the electronic instrument panel activated!!!!!!!

Cheers Rick - Any idea of decals?

I'm posting in the hope that someone might be able to assist ( I know from other posts how helpful most are on the forum). Can anyone help me identify the following aircraft and give me pointers on how I could model it in 1/72 I understand it is used inter island on the Falklands - my 9 year old nephew flew on it recently and got to sit in the co- pilots seat!, Along with a tour of a Hercules, tristar, typhoon and a tour round the helicopter search and rescue (lucky wee boy) - I'd like to try and build him a model of the plane in the pic Thanks in advance for any assistance Regards Gordon

Nice - I did one of these recently - I had a go at the panel lines with an ink pen - makes a big difference have a look here:- http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234947509-f-51-d-mustang-172-airfix/ But full marks to Airfix - goes together without any probelm

Libor - nice - does the Kit have Polish markings too?

Nice work - I recently built it's predecessor - raised rivets and all - the canopy does not even come close to filling the hole - had to cut it and pose it open - did you hand paint or airbrush the spots? Nicely done - what colours of paint did you use?

Nice - just did this as a 225 - I like the old Heller kits a lot http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234947115-morane-saulnier-ms225-heller-172/#entry1412148

I will post a pic of the type of pen when I get home tonight. (Pic below if anyone wants a look)

I have to confess to having handled 0.05 pens very early in my engineering drawing days (thank the Lord for computer aided drawing, don't fancy hand drawing the railway junction drawings I produce now!!!!!) As a futher bit of background - I used the pen & let it dry, then used the Quickshine floor polish to seal before applying the Humbrol Matt. Thanks to all for the kind words - doubt the next off the line will look so good though (a rather nasty Roden Lagg-3) - The new tool Airfix kits are a joy to build and paint.

I was thinking getting a couple of these for my nephews - after seeing these I will fefo be getting a couple - cheers for posting

Thanks - I think the panel lines with the pen works because of the all over aluminium finish - if anyone wants to know the pen is a black 0.05 Mitsubishi Uni Pin Fine Line.

Thank you - seems they have a handy video clip too on their website!

Nice - I just made the original Airfix 109 kit with raised rivets etc - and a canopy that doesn't fit!! You splendid model might encourage me to do another, if you are looking for a Klear substitute and you are in the UK - try Quickshine from Lakeland (floor polish imported from the USA) works a treat for me (and I'm rubbish compared to most on here)

My latest humble effort if anyone wants a look (ipad photo limitations and a diminishing amount of Scottish daylight!!) Anyway - hand painted with Humbrol Enamels - Quickshine (Klear Substitute from Lakeland) and Humbrol Matt Coat I have no idea how to "wash" the panel lines - had a go previously with a graphite pencil, didn't work so this time I tried a 0.05 ink pen I got from the local art shop - I realise that from a scale point of view it might be a bit much - but I do this for relaxation & I think this effort is undoubtedly my best effort since my return after 35 odd years!! Oh - and Airfix - what an excellent fitting kit - makes it so much easier & enjoyable:- Have a look if you want & thanks for looking - and can anyone tell me what the traffic lights on the underside of the wing are for?
