Here's the 1/48 Prone Pilot Meteor I just finished in the Prototypes, Experimentals etc group build. It's the Airfix kit with the Brigade Models conversion. A very straightforward build - completed in under 3 weeks, which is incredibly fast by my standards. WIP is here

Here's my Revell Spitfire IXe/XVI (Hasegawa repop) converted using the Brigade Models fuselage and a few extra AM bits. It's a representation of the Boultbee Flight Academy's aircraft which I flew in 2014. The full trauma associated with its build is at the Aussie Modeller website. Not a great result but it fills a spot in the cabinet and looks the part if you don't look too close: It's supposed to look like this: I even made up a decal for the signatures on the front cockpit door (every WWII Spitfire pilot who's flown in the aircraft has autographed the door, as has HRH Prince Harry who flew it a couple of months before me). Unfortunately, it's barely visible and my blundering errors take attention from it anyway. I made it harder for myself by opening up the doors and canopies but you get that...

Built for a friend this was a challenging and enjoyable build. This particular aircraft is MJ627 '9G Q' from the Biggin Hill Heritage hanger. Built using the 1:48 Hasegawa Spitifire MkIX and the Brigade Models Resin T9 conversion set. To add a bit more detail I also used the Eduard PE upgrade set and resin MkIX cockpit. I used Vallejo Air paints and a myriad of aftermarket decals to replicate the correct aircraft. The resin conversion set was sublime and very little fettling or filler was needed. It went against the grain to use only the wings and undercarriage of the Hasegawa kit, but needs must. I am really pleased hop it turned out. Having discussed the final look of the model I decided not to go with a totally clean aircraft and wanted to add some weathering to it to add more depth and to represent the aircraft as it may have looked in 1945.- 10 replies
