Good tot see the mighty Sea King getting some attention Colin, especially as you plan on building an early one.

Excellent work and nice floor mats idea 🙂 You should sell that Batsignal STL and maybe you upgrade parts. I only have the old Aurora 1:32. Bought it at a fortune without box and missing parts many years ago. My plan was to transform itinto a slot car... A year or so later the kit was rereleased and a few years back Scalextric released a very nice slot car ... Murphys law 🙂

Coming together very nicely Roger. It won`t be long til she is fully together ready for some dirt? Simon.

Thanks John, I'm not sure I would want to do this again in a hurry, I did this one as a trial run in case I needed to do it on a Stug that I have planned to do later on, which is an interior build. I didn't want to try it on that without having tried it before hand. thanks for commenting Ed

Thank you chaps, I don't know why I found it very difficult to get the putty from a UK supplier, last time I looked you could get it on ebay from a company called "Jolly Japan" , the mind boggles..... all the best Ed

Welcome aboard, chaps - those are two great-sounding projects which I'm looking forward to seeing! Cheers, Mark

Thankyou Roger, much appreciated... Ed

Thanks John now corrected! Roger

Taking shape very nicely and good to see that Revell sent you a replacement nose leg, eventually. As for retirement, I hear you, can't come soon enough!

Latest update, camouflage scheme now painted, now needs its gloss coat prior to decalling. Canopy to be added and then drop tanks to be added. Many regards Matt

Time for a bat-bump for this one Robin! 🦇 More citizens of Gotham city deserve to see this!

nice bust. good dark skin tone & blue jacket

Following a couple of challenging builds in the Baby Boomers I'm going a bit more mainstream here with the new Airfix Seaking. I'll be aiming for a Mk1 all folded up on HMS Ark Royal. Anyone else running out of cabinette space? Rather than kit decals I'll be using the Model Alliance set. No shortage of info as I made a trip to Historic Helicopters in Chard a few weeks ago and had a good crawl around their AS5. I'm still wondering why Airfix released the Merlin 10 years ago when this would have been a better proposition? I'll be using @Ex-FAAWAFU build from last year for any additional info. Colin

Ditto, it's the only place I go to chat to like minded lunatics 😁

Gentlemen, I was well aware of the color of this crowbar and the painting scheme also says to leave it green. This is purely my prank🙂, if I can put it that way - it's my personal tuning😘 . Forgive me if you can.

Finished!

I added the antennas today and started on the paint While I was at it I decided to work on some other P-3s as well. The one on the box was a new build started earlier in the week but will be an RAAF aircraft so not eligible for its own thread in this GB. The other 2 are well on the way to completion and just need final tweaks before paint starts on them.

Finished!
