Again, thanks for all the replies - does the sponge technique work for the style with fine, criss-crossed lines (if you know what I mean)?

Thanks, I will give that a try.

Hello, I'd like to know if it's possible to acheive a good-looking mottle on Luftwaffe subjects with a hairy stick rather than an airbrush? Details of techniques, if there are any, would be appreciated.

Ta - what are they like to use?

Hello, I have the Matchbox Mosquito with two-stage engines and would like to do it as a US photo-recon aircraft - preferably with the red tail and D-Day stripes. What decals would you recommend?

Lovely work on the SE5; I'd quite like to see a Swordfish next, or maybe an early Hurricane with fabric wings?

If the 19 fuselage is mated to the 22 wing to make a 21, what could be made from the 19 wings and 22 fuselage? I thought perhaps an 18, or a Seafire 17 with some extra scratchbuilding?

The Halifaxes are progressing nicely; is there anywhere I can get the Aeroclub propellers and intakes for the Hercules engines?

Another 'con' of the Matchbox kit - the three blade propellers are much too large.

Does anybody know the scheme for the one that gave its Orpheus to Bluebird?

Thank you very much for the replies.

I see, thanks for the advice. Does the Matchbox have any similar issues, apart from those already pointed out (props, u/c, panel lines)?

Thanks for the help, although I wouldn't have thought the Frog was that bad. I've seen a build over on Hyperscale and it polished up rather nicely in my opinion, although I do agree the wings are too high up on the fuselage. Are there any A/M decals for the B.IV?

Hello, I've got a Mosquito in the stash, it looks like the Hasegawa in the Revell boxing. It's a 1/72 B.IV. -What is the kit like to build? Can anyone point me towards a good review? -How accurate is the kit? Are there any major issues, and where would it be good to add detail? -Are there any good aftermarket decals readily available? In addition, how is the Frog kit? Can anyone comment on accuracy? If you can help it would be appreciated.

That'll help, but does anyone know what other materials can be used for weight?

OK, thanks.

Hello, Can I ask a silly question? I've noticed that most preserved warbirds, particularly the BBMF, have small red lights fitted to the fuselage spines; what is their purpose? I think they could be for formation purposes but I could be wrong.

I'd love to see focus on the bombers, brand new Lancaster/Stirling/Halifax. And a Wellington, and a Hampden, and a Whitley, or is that too much to ask?

Now that's impressive. When are you getting the next one?

Can only echo comments, nice work on the wheel wells, and the whole thing looks quite promising. Looking forwards to the final stages.

That's lovely, looks very professional.

Gorgeous! I love the varied shades of aluminium and the overall shinyness...

Hello, Some time ago I acquired an original Frog Shackleton. Does anyone know how much weight I need to put in the nose to prevent it tail-sitting? Thanks in advance.

The build looks to be progressing nicely, does anyone know what the 1:72 kit is like?

That looks lovely. Are there any injection moulded kits of this subject?
