  1. Hi all just a general question what is the best 1/72 harrier aircraft kit. Also as I am just getting back in to the hobby would it be good to get a few of the same aircraft different mark like an FRS1 and GR1 or GR3 to do some repetitive builds to hone my skills. Also I love the British engineering of this aircraft. I admire this aircraft so it might keep my mojo alive? I have been looking at the Italeri kits which are based on the ESCI kits as they can be picked up for a fair price. Just to see if I can make a good enough job.
  2. I was chatting to someone a few days ago and he asked if I’d made any models recently. while talking about the last couple of models, he asked who were the best manufacturers nowadays, was it Airfix or Revell? I pondered this after explaining to him that there loads of manufacturers better than Airfix and Revell. Who are the best Injection kit manufacturers? I’m not thinking who makes the best range or obscure kits, but those whose kits are consistently well made, well engineered, challenging enough to make modellers bring out their skills but not so difficult the kit gets chucked, good instructions, with a decent choice of marking options and not necessarily packed with resin/etch/metal parts. I came up with, in no particular order, based on my experience and what I have read britmodellers say about them; Wingnut Wings (I know they stopped trading, but everything I’ve read about them says they were the best) Eduard Tamiya Ryefield Arma Hobby Airfix Takom Clear Prop Revell HKM ICM Border Kinetic finemoulds Zoukei Mura now you might take exception to those choices, or their loose position, but I’d be pretty sure that as quality of kits goes, those are probably going to be among your top 20, say. Obviously, well known manufacturers like Heller, KP, AZ, Sword, Smer, Special Hobby, Mach 2 could well feature in your top 10 or 20!
  3. Being part way through trying to build the Revell F4U-1A I've decided to give up the ghost and find another kit as this one is quite the worst kit I've attempted to build for quite a long time. Admittedly I was swayed by it being considerably cheaper than the Tamiya offerings but this has turned out to be a false economy as the kit is truly awful with every piece having to be fettled, sanded and filled, and the quality of the parts and the fit are also extremely poor. In addition the prop is the wrong type/shape for a 1A and it also features two locating points for the drop tanks which were a feature of the 1D but not the 1A (so is it an A or a D?) Before potentially making another unwise buying decision can anyone suggest the best option please as Academy and Hasegawa are also possible alternatives given that I'm looking to build either a 1A or 1D version? Regards Colin.
  4. Italeri, Revell? But which boxing?
  5. This is the cure for modellers block. This is the first model i have totally finished in a long time. There was some firsts for me on this build. The use of MDC lead wire which was fantastic. It was used in the cockpit and alot on the engine. It was also the very first time i have used blu tac for masking the camo. I wish i had tried this sooner , as it works a treat. No more freehand airbrushing for me! Another first on this was the use of windsor and newton matt varnish and flow improver. Everything came together on this model , and without blowing my own trumpet i think its the best i have done so far. Weathering was kept to a minimum on this. I love the look of a clean Spitfire.
