    I've done a bit more to the hunter. It has gone together a dream with no filler. The fit is as good as Tamiya.

    I don't no what colour do it as I don't have any decals but what came in the box. The options the Central Flying establishment yellow spine and tail 1961, No 66 sqn, Royal Netherlands Air Force No324 sqn or the Belgian Air Force No 22 sqn.

    Revell 1/72 Hunter F6

    In an effort to do some more British aircraft instead of US. I picked up a little Hunter to have a go at.

    For those of you that know me I have always built 1/48 and 1/32 scale aircraft but after my accident I thought I would go back to the mother of modeling 1/72 scale.

    The last time I built in 1/72 there was only Airfix available not even Revell was about. I must say that in this word of large scale kits it's nice to see manufacturers putting investment into 1/72. We need more better kits in this scale to intice the younger modelers into the hobby. Lets face it a kid is not going to be imprest with a Airfix 1/72 scale Spitfire the way I was 27 years ago but if it went well together well and looked half desent they may be drawn into the hobby. OK steps of soap box.

    Well I've herd lots of good thing about this kit so I thought I would give it a go.

    Well I was very impressed with the cockpit and the seat but I had all ready bought a resin replacement. so hers the cockpit finished

    Airfix Nimrod pre-orders

    And I get to do that at RAF Kinloss these days :) What with the Lossie Tonka's nearby as well ... I'm kinda spoilt for RAF hardware buzzing around! Supposed to be getting the JSA or JSF? at RAF Lossiemouth around 2016 as well, hope so.

    it sure was good news to hear the recent news that both bases that were thought to be getting axed, now have a future ... for a while at least.

    1/72 is not something I do, its pretty much all 1/48 with a few 1/32 Aircraft, but for the Nimrod I'm making an exception.

    I'm between RNAS yeovilton and RAF ST mawgan. The Sea Harriers have gone and the Nimrods so no more days at the base. But on the Plus side I do get about 5 to 10 fast jet right over my every day in the summer. Mainly F-15E and Tornado's. Nothing gets me to the window faster than the sound of a jet doing 450+ knots at low level. :thumbsup:

    Interior wash - help required please

    Guys - I need your advise and help.

    I am ok with exterior washes but when it comes to cockpits, I am a bit hit or miss. Would someone/anyone please do a bit on this topic please?

    Thanks

    I always give mine a wash of Taniya X-19 smoke thinned down, It's a gloss so you may need to spray a flat to tone it down a bit. That said I usually dry brush after so there is no need.

    Hi mike,

    That how I got the idea for my wash, But I found that it dried gritty and some times It would stain the future. (I fund out the hard way on the bottom of a Phantom), I had to re spay the thing.

    Lovely wildcat :D
