Just to show that it's not all Mustangs in my house, here is Revell's little Macchi C.200 Saetta. As usual built straight from the box: Brush painted using Humbrol Enamels, with Glosscote before decals and Mattecote to tone down the gloss: Decals came from the kit, except the white band, which is from two Italeri Macchi 205 kits, cut to fit. The decals went on great with no need for any solutions at all.: Built to represent a aircraft from 374a Squadrglia, 153 Gruppo Autonomo, Grottaglie, Italy in April 1941: A nice wee kit and thoroughly enjoyable one to build, and all for the price of a pint, bought on E-bay, (the kit not the pint) Regards, Sean

Hello to you all from Slovenia. Started to build my first 1/72 scale model. Usually I am building 1/48 scale models, but huge bombers are, well, just too big in that scale. I've picked up Revell Lancaster at local competition for peanuts really, and i will try to make it look like Lancaster. I've decided not to use any PE parts, but the Lanc will get some aftermarket goodies anyway. I am planning to use Eduard masks, Brassin wheels, Quickboost Gun barrels and Kits world decals. So, starting with wings and flaps... Picked up some 0,25 mm styrene and started... Corrected wing dihedral.

Revell's old but fairly decent Bf-109, painted with Humbrol's new Luftwaffe paints and using decals from E.D. Models (C3- Battle of Britian- Bf-109 E). Built mainly to try out Humbrol's new Luftwaffe paints, which take a bit of getting used to, but in the main, are certainly good enough for me as a dedicated brush painter. They need an extra coat or two for great coverage, but they do have a good finish. Built with decals from E.D. Models for the main markings and kit decals for the stencils, the kit decals are certainly newer than kit itself The kit has raised panel lines and rivets, but goes together well. Unfortunately, only the windscreen from the kit could be used as the rest of the canopy was a blob of plastic. Spares from an I.C.M. E-4, were used. The decals performed well over 2 coats of Klear, with a final covering of Humbrol's Matte coat to tone things down. The figures and chairs are from the Revell Luftwaffe set, with the wall coming from an agriculture model show I was at a couple of years ago. The base is a display base my daughter got me from the shop she works in, covered with Javis grass over Revell brown paint. The scheme shows the plane Oblt, Egon Troha was flying on the 29th Oct. 1940 when he was shot down by Plt. Off. G. Marsland during a melee with 253 Sq Hurricanes over Kent. He sustained damage to the radiator, but was able to land safely at West Court Farm and he was subsequently captured. It turned out the aircraft was not his, but refused to name it's usual pilot. I've set this scene as Troha being told by one of the aircrew that his plane wasn't ready for flight. Therefore he was taking some other pilot's, who had been lucky enough to get a 48 hr pass to Paris. I'd like to thank Mikemx, JackG and especially tango98 for their help regarding this aircraft. Thanks for your interest, Sean

Right i've been working on this for the past few evenings. It's the Revell IDS kit from the black panther boxing, i've pinched the Gr4 bits from the otherwise crappy Airfix kit. Pretty much built as is but i jave added a few homemade aerials probably not 100% accurate but they look the part. so on with some photo's The canopy isn't affixed yet as im still deciding whether to stick some blokes inside.

I have a real thing for the brutish looks of the Thunderbolt. The P-47M was a "D" airframe fitted with under-wing air brakes and a 2800hp Pratt & Whitney turbo-supercharged R-2800 C engine. All of the 130 P-47Ms built were used by the 56th Fighter Group at Boxted, north of Colchester, but there were engine reliability problems requiring rewiring, re-worked power controls and internal baffling of the cowl flaps to raise cylinder head temperatures. These were not the only problems - extensive corrosion in the engines resulted in all units being replaced by new factory items. The airframes were not fully operational until April 1945, but still shot down four Me262s before war's end. This kit was a real mix, as it has exquisite detailing, but many of the parts were covered in flash. I decided to build the kit straight from the box and in clean configuration, in line with a lot of the pictures I could find in my books. Likewise, I kept the weathering to a raw umber wash, as the aircraft were not in service for long enough to be too worn. I added some Mig pigments to the tyres to simulate mud, but I'm not happy with the result, so I think that I'll wipe it off. Strangely, after the wash I noticed that the cowling had developed cracks on the top and the bottom, requiring repair with superglue. I can't vouch for the accuracy of the colours, due to the lack of good references and Revell's laughable paint-mixing instructions! There are three blues on the top-side - the dark blue being "straight" Humbrol 25, the lighter blue an attempt at 20% blue and 80% white, and the rudder being 66% white and 34% blue - yes you read it correctly! Who said the Germans don't have a sense of humour? The decals performed very well and I still need to permanently attach the windscreen and canopy. Thanks for looking. -
Hi all, Revells vintage 70's F-16A kit. Love it or hate it, Arguably one of the best paint schemes around during the 70's. Brian.

Hi all, Picked this one up for a Fiver at SMW. The kit is 1976 vintage but still makes up into a decent F-16, especially for a decent representation of the prototype flown by Neil Anderson. I saw this aircraft at Mildenhall Air Fete in the 70's during its demonstration tour, never forgot it! Brian.

I don't tend to make many maritime models, unless its something that takes my fancy, and this really has: take a screenshot I really like the Elco PT boats and in this camouflage it does appeal! I was thinking of building the Italeri 35th scale model, but it is just too big! This model is of a more manageable size, and it was a good price too: how to do a screenshot on a pc Inside the age of the kit is very evident: how to take a screenshot on a pc But that is as much of the appeal of the project! I've ordered White Ensign's etch set for the kit and I am accumulating various other bits and pieces. The camouflage scheme is going to be fun. The plans have got some good diagrams and photos: image hosting 12mb But I think I'm going to need a pair of sunglasses by the end of it, and a lot of this too: online photo storage Watch this space!

Hello again friends. Now I will show you the second helicopter that I have mounted recently. It is a Eurocopter Tiger HAP of the Spanish Army. It is the model of Revell to a scale of 1/72, mounted directly from the box and without aftermarkets again. This model is easy to assemble and of good quality. Again the photos are a bit faulty, but I repeat that I do them with the mobile phone. Greetings and i hope you like it.
