Guy H Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Hi all, lockdown led me to finally build the 1/24 2CV I got for Christmas as a replica of our 1/1 scale in the garage. My first model since 1981. Cheapo Amazon airbrush but i'm happy. Now have a stash of WW2 1/72 aircraft to develop my skills on. Airfix Mk1 Spit (we all started there). ME109 Revell and Arma hobby Hurricane with PE set! So a steep learning curve. Lots of youtube, Liking Will Pattison for explaining what he is doing. Might return to cars to scratch build a Dutton Phaeton if i can find some plans and build up my skills. Also thinking Hunter in 1/48 as FR10 as my dad used to fly them, but that is some way off. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Hello Guy... from the other side of the pond in Chicago. Great work for a come back build. Im mostly a WW2 & Cold-war aircraft builder. Sometimes break up the monotony with armor or Sci-fi. Dennis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jai Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Hey everyone, I'm Jason and I'm an aeronautical engineering student living in Kilmarnock. I started building scale models models as a kid and stopped during my teenage years, taking the hobby back up again when I turned 30. I became a dad not long after so I have been a bit on an off since. As such, I have not really built my skill level up much and will be looking here for advice and inspiration.

Mike Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 aboard Guy - that's a nice looking 2CV, so I don't know why you think it's not as good as others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAT69 Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 It's a very good looking model. No apologies needed there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy H Posted May 24, 2020 Author Share Posted May 24, 2020 Thanks guys but in spite of having the 1/1 in the garage I got so fixated spraying the wings and door trim I missed the boot! After a few deep breaths and then a few more I will have to mask it up and finish it, again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
