    Got some decent daylight: Rest in the gallery.

    1966 you say? Year I was born ...

    Progress: The canopy is not great...
  5. John_W
    Nice. Built this myself and its a lovely little kit.

    Made a start on the Arado. Going for "representative" on the detail, rather than prototypical.

    Finished! Waiting for the pva to dry on the ID lights and will do some decent pictures for the gallery. Loved building this kit.

    Much older. The AC 47 was a reissue with extra parts sprues. The original had Silver City Airways and USAAC markings.

    Wow.

    Beautiful. Do love German Starfighters.

    This could also be the "Kits you first built before you could shave" Group Build. Ahh! The nostalgia...

    I remember the article in Scale Models about accurising the Defiant. They used a Spitfire nose and lots of card and filler. Brave man.

    Havd one in the stash. Must get it out sometime.

    Be glad youy got a seat. Some of the early Airfix just had pegs.
  15. John_W
    Thats a classic kit, the double canopy version. Didn't they do a chromed one as well? Interesting the pilot is a straight copy of the contemporary Airfix one.

    Had a bit of a disaster with the matt varnish. Recovered, and looks a bit like salt staining. Nice kit. 1/144 Liberator for size comparison.
  17. John_W
    Interesting story there, learned something.

    Defo original Airfix. Standard Airfix pilots and who else did oversize "working hinges" like that? Raised detail is quite restrained, apart fom fabric sag on rear fuselage: Seen less prominent ribs on a supermodel
  19. John_W
    How about a Buccaneer? Foldy wings make it storeable and lots of differnet colour schemes.
  20. John_W
    Lovely build

    Remember you need hairy black thread from your Mums sewing box for the ariels.
  22. John_W
    I built the Israeli version from the "Dogfight Doubles" boxing. It had a delta wing and a pointy nose, what more do you want when you're 10?

    Might put some framing in the Arado fuselage. Detail isn't to bad. Will loose the horrible "working" control surfaces at the very least. Engine would benefir from a bit of work too. Considering trying to crash mould a new canopy. Has a decal instrument panel, what happened to the good old cut out printed one? Canberra needs some lumps and bumps. Fin fairing is most noticeable abscence. Loving this build, so many kits that were cutting edge in my youth. The nostalgia is solid enough to slice
  24. John_W
    Nearly there.
  25. John_W
    Both, with tube cement Left a nasty seam down the central dome/blister. The glazing lines were also pretty vague.
