  1. Hi guys, welcome to my GB build... the Airfix Lockheed Hudson that cost £6.00. It was originally used to look at for my Vacform kit, but I have no need for it now so it can get built now.. I'm almost certain this will be my only build for the GB, but I may try and squeeze in the Airfix (new tool) Typhoon too. to be finished OOB in 206Sqn Coastal Command colours Box shot by Totallyrad.co.uk, on Flickr Box + sprues by Totallyrad.co.uk, on Flickr
  2. Pics and notes thanks to Trevor. These photos are of Lockheed Hudson mk.IIIA A16-199/G-BEOX. Formerly at the Strathallan collection in Scotland, it is the only example of the type in Europe and is currently on display in the RAF Museum in Hendon. As a reference source it is a classic example of the real thing not being accurate enough. Last operated by Ad Astra Airways in Australia, in essence it is a post-war, modified and civilianised machine dressed up in military markings and has several non-standard features. From the nose they are: - Gloss paint scheme - None standard nose glazing - Modified cockpit glazing by the plating over of the dorsal glazing - No dorsal BoultonPaul turret - Bomb bay secured shut with fasteners - Ventral DF loop housing - Modified ventral gun housing. From the mk.III onwards there was a hatch (off set to starboard) housing one 0.303 machine gun. The housing on this example has been widened for other purposes (photography?) - As a mk.III, it should be powered by Wright Cyclones. This example was re-en gined with Pratt and Whitney Twin Wasps when operated by Ad Astra for common ality with the rest of its fleet. Even so the cowlings are non-standard in t hat the rear of the cowlings are flared. - The undercarriage legs are not sheathed.
  3. These are the LS 1/144 kits. Almost finished this pair. Just need to add some Harpoons and the last of the antennas, and finish the gloss and satin coating and a light panel wash.
  4. Finished yesterday, had a few fitting problems and I messed with decals a bit but am still pleased with the result. Regards

  6. PV-1 Ventura Wheels (for Revell) 1:48 Eduard Brassin (648068) The wheels on the new Revell kit aren't exactly a tour-de-force, so this set will be most welcome in order to spruce that area up a little. The set arrives in Eduard's familiar clamshell box, and contains two wheels, two hubs, a small Photo-Etch (PE) fret and a set of Kabuki tape masks. The first thing you notice when the wheels drop out of their packaging into your hand is their weight - They really are quite heavy for their size. A quick look at the tyres and the impressive diamond tread leaps out, and the hub detail is very crisp. The maker's mark is reproduced in raised detail, but whether it is my eyes, the moulding process or Eduard not wishing to breach copyright, the tyres appear to be made by GOOB YBAR? The casting block is positioned at the bottom of the tyre, and consists of a flimsy outrigger, and a main tube that will of course result in missing detail. As this will be on the ground however, don't worry about it, and either sand the stub to the shape of the tyre, or sand a flat spot where it touches the ground to give the tyres the appearance of realistic sag without overdoing it. Detail on the brake hub is very good, and the outer spoked hub is a separate part, fitting snugly into the hollow hub and resulting in some very realistic detail. Remember to punch through the flash over the triangular gaps between spokes before you glue the part in, as it will ease clean-up at the rear if you leave it loose during this process. A PE hubcap is supplied for realism, but to me it would be a shame to cover over those lovely hubs. PE brake-lines are also included on the sheet, and a pair of scrap drawings show the position of the lines as well as the correct mounting of the wheel and the corresponding position of the brake assembly with the gear leg and ground. The masks are die-cut from the usual flexible Kabuki tape that Eduard use, which has been compared with Tamiya's tape on many an occasion. The masks are doughnut shaped, and allow for painting of the hub after the tyre has been painted. You will have to mask the remainder of the tyre as well if you are spraying the hubs if you are worried about over-spray. Conclusion A complete package that is a drop-in replacement for the rather lacklustre kit tyres, and adds plenty of value in the process. The inclusion of masks for the fiddly process of painting the tyres, and a PE fret of detail parts is very helpful, and all adds to the detail, and it is these small details that make our models look more realistic. Highly recommended. Review sample courtesy of
