Johnha Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Hi All, I'm John from Lancashire. I joined a while ago but before I could say hello something went awry if life which has occupied much of my time since. Lockdown has led to the space I had planned for a workbench being turned into home office space so I'm looking at setting something 'temporary' up. I've been modelling since the late 70's with various gaps in between, mostly WWII & Cold War military aircraft (mostly 1/72nd with some 1/48th). I was brought up on Airfix & Matchbox (3-colour era) with some Revell and Heller but later branched out to Tamiya, Academy and others. First kit was an Airfix 1/72 Henschell (126 I think?) followed by a Spitfire & Bf110 'dogfight double', most obscure, a 1/72 Soviet kit of a Yak 1/9 bought in Hungary in the mid-80s. Biggest failure was the Revell U-47 submarine cutaway (far too much 'empty space' for me to fill). Having lurked a bit, I'm really impressed with the work displayed on this forum. The attention to detail and research that goes into your work is amazing. I have a Tamiya 1/48th Lanc that's waiting for my skills to improve to do it justice (the older one - no doubt with the ill-fitting nacelles) and various other projects to keep me busy and while I work up to it. Another challenge is a vac-formed (my first) DH Fox Moth, so I'll be seeking advice for that at some point. John. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone can help with colour schemes for Perry Miniatures War of the Roses Infantry, I'd be grateful for any advice... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterE Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 I say "right side" in a geographical sense 😁 As far as the Wars of the Roses colour schemes go, Osprey is your friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
