  1. Fantastic result considering where you were starting from. I'm struggling along with a Sword T.5 at the moment so have an idea of what you have been through. Duncan B
  2. Very fine looking Arado, well done Stew. Duncan B
  3. I do like Wildcats and this is a beautiful example of the early scheme. Very nicely done. Duncan B
  4. Even 10 years later they still looked lighter (and they had all been through majors by then). Look at photos from around the period of the Jubilee when the Phantoms were carrying the nose flashes, they still look lighter than the Buccs. I am sure it's a trick of the light as much as anything else. Duncan B
  5. Another brilliant piece of modelling art from you, the colour scheme is very attractive. Duncan B
  6. Can anyone tell me what the visual (as far as the kit goes) differences there are between the RAAF P-8 and the RAF P-8? I'm asking because one of my friends was going to buy the kit from me to build a RAF one but told me the differences were too obvious without going into details. I'd like to know in case another customer wants to do the same thing and asks this question (I hate not being able to answer this type of question). Is it specific aerial fits etc or something more substantial? To answer the question about postage costs, the BPK kit actually comes in a surprisingly small box and posts as a small parcel so should be about £3.70 through RM to UK addresses. Duncan B
  7. It always amazes me when looking at photos of that period that the Buccs did look to be painted in a different colour than the mighty Tooms. I know that they were both EDSG but the Phantoms always looked lighter, maybe screaming through the higher atmosphere beyond the speed of sound as opposed to puddling around with the seagulls made all the difference to the paints 🤣. Personally I think Mr Color/Hobby's EDSG is too dark straight out of the pot so I either lighten it a little or just use their DSG with a drop or 2 of their EDSG in it. Duncan B
  8. I've seen a few of the Arma Hobby Hurricanes built up now but this is the nicest of some very nice builds I've seen. In every build it is obvious that Arma Hobby have produced an excellent kit so I may well have to have a go at one soon. Great conversation on the possible variations on the colours scheme, my compliments to yourself and Troy for keeping it in a positive and polite form, something that many people online seem to not be able to do. Duncan B
  9. I'm not normally one to comment on civil models but this is so nice. The Jet2 scheme is very eye catching and even more so because you masked and painted it. it must be an impressive looking model in the flesh. Duncan B
  10. There is an RAF version coming from BPK, not sure when it's due to land but it isn't too far away. Duncan B
  11. Yes, ours were stuffed with chaff too when required. Duncan B
  12. That's the way I like them, all worn and scruffy. Very nicely done. Duncan B
  13. That is a show stopper, great photography for the 'outdoor' shots too. Duncan B
  14. ....anxiety for me, also not pleasant. Some quite debilitating panic attacks while out and about. No apparent trigger for it so hopefully it'll settle down soon. I hope you are feeling better soon too. Duncan B
