Morning folk,s,I have been building in 1/48 scale for most of the last year with the odd 1/72 build here and there.I want to get back into the scale I grew up with for a few builds spurred on by a few cheapies from Home Bargains in the form of a couple of Typhoon and Hurricane kit's.I have a few of the Hurricane kits in the collection and built one of the new tool Typhoons last year so AM decals were needed as I,ve covered all the kit options especially with the Hurricane.I have Hannant,s D-Day sheet on order which not only gives me a couple of fully striped Typhoon schemes but also a Swordfish scheme and some other tasty Spitfire and Mustang schemes for the future.The Hurricanes will be in a couple of RAF schemes from the battle of France era which have paint masked codes which should be interesting.The Swordfish also wears stripes in a mainly white scheme so over summer at least five kits are planned. First up a start on the Typhoons which despite the open gun bay option I am building closed up. Lovely crisp molding and detail on the sprues. The Swordfish as you might expect is the Matchbox oldie Those were the days! Thanks for looking in, Decals should arrive tomorrow so I,ll post some pics then.
