Your Hurricane is a real beauty, Chris -
As always your painting is first rate and I really love the faded paint look to the finish too.

Dear all,
My latest finished project - Roden's Spad XIII kit.
A good kit although I was surprised by the heavy seems, some flash and sinks marks for a new tooled kit. It went together reasonably well but I found this one quite a demanding build. It was certainly an enjoyable though!
Pleased with the outcome although I would have liked to have made the rigging a bit neater. Built mostly OOB with some minor additions as follows:
seat cushion made from Milliput;
seat harness from a spare Eduard French seat belt PE part;
Filed off the port side panel not appropriate for the early version;
enhanced the look of the kit Vickers MG's;Covered over the landing gear axle;
Scratch built windscreen as this part was missing from my kit
Completed in the Italian markings of 91a Squadriglia flown by Capt. Fulco Ruffo di Calabria, Italy, Summer 1918.Regards

Absolutely wonderful!
Rigging may have been intense for you but the results show it was all worth it.

Thanks Dave - appreciate it 👍
(I preferred the sabre myself, but fenced with all three weapons back in the day . . . .) 😁
I like sabre but I'm really a confirmed Epeeist - hence my forum name!!

All,
Not sure where else to post this so apologies if in wrong area.
This is another of Trumpeters 1/3 scale rifles in the M16/M4 series. This one is the M4 S.I.R rifle.
Very straightforward kits to build with not too many parts so assembly is fairly quick. The work is in eliminating joints and seams (that would not exist on the real weapon) then painting to look realistic.
Therefore built OOB and brush painted.

You've done a blinding job on this kit, Dean - I also built this exact one about a year or so ago and completely agree regarding your comments on building and the terrible kit decals.

I'm not really a 'jet man' but the Phantom is one of the more good looking ones - your models of them are great. My favourite is the RAF camo one.

Thats very impressive for a brush paint - what paint did you use? Also well done for including the 'javelin' cross bracers which the kit instructions miss!
TT
Thank you kindly!
The paint I use is the Revell 'aqua colour' paint range (mostly aluminium for this one) which (for me) work extremely well for brush painting and leaves a lovely smooth finish.

Dear all,
Airfix's 48 scale Tiger Moth kit completed today.
Lovely kit although the cabane struts are very flimsy and easily broken. Built out of box (and painted by brush as always) with only set of home made seat harness to dress cockpit up with.
I live in Kent so it had to be painted in the scheme to represent the one at Headcorn aerodrome in 2018 not far from Maidstone.
Regards
Dave
