  1. I bought the Tamiya Mossie and HKM'S B- 25 'Strafer' at £140 and and £360 because I bought a bucketful of Eduard PE AM and resin parts. The Mossie is going OOB and the B-25 will get the full hit. I don't begrudge a bean of of it.
  2. It's to do with shutter speed. Your camera -digital I presume- lays data in pixels .... One after another. The propeller is rotating and the pixel map is laid down, it's chasing the rotating parts and creates a curve of data. Simple. Look at a TV advert of a car passing lampposts at speed and you'll see curved lampposts if you pause it. Evens the professional guys struggle to resolve this. It's had to solve the shutter speed lag.
  3. I love this Aircraft. Along with the Mosquito I think it is one of the most innovative and flexible craft to come out of WWII. I have to say that whilst this model looks understated, you can see the craft that has gone into its construction, paintwork and weathering is excellent. It really is a superb build.
  4. You've set up some of the shots really well. Very atmospheric. Beautiful build
  5. Wellysman, thanks for giving us more detail with your steps as you go. Very nice guide it's turning into. That's some workstation! Don't be disappointed, you're making a beautiful job of this kit. +1
  6. What a fine collection of aircraft. You'll do well I think.
  7. Depends on the scale of the model really. I keep solder wire which is super flexible, soft copper core like Mitch, various guitar strings, micro fine wire too which is stripped from braids of wire...in fact, anything goes really depending on need. Superglue works fine for adhesive as long as you hit the glue points with sandpaper to give a bite point.
