Gotta love a Jaguar, still looks both sexy and mean after all these years

What book Andrew?

Took the words out of my mouth :smiling3: Looks like he forgot to include a photo of it?

That M1A1 kit builds up very nicely. Not the most accurate one you’ll find, but it’s Tamiya so you know it will go together well.

Idiot that I am....not only did I forget to add the photo.....I had actually forgotten to take it!! :smiling5:

Photo now taken and added back into the post!

The usual story, Needed some paint for a kit that has still to arrive... It was a bank holiday here Thursday... The shop I bought the kit did not have the paint so off to another shop...
They had a sale on aircraft kits. And had the paints. lol



The kit that I actually bought that started this little avalanche can actually be seen in the background of the artwork for this one. lol.

And one I have been looking at to often now.

Nice.... Will you be doing the Rufe for the Japanese Aircraft GB?!

[Andy T]

I got some of that AK perfect cleaner from John the other week. Smells a lot like ipa but it's easily the best I've used for water based acrylics.

Anyone need a huge bottle of soapy water Iwata Medea cleaner? :tears-of-joy:

Not tried these paints before, are they any good.

I've not used the real colour range myself but by all accounts they are good.

From my visit to IPMS Lancs swap meet. It is actually quite good little event, lots of bargains.
The NH90 is for me while the Swift is my daughters purchase - she’s a massive Taylor swift fan.

I've used them a couple of times Ian and they spray very nicely. I did have some paint lift when removing masking although that might have been a primer issue, something to bear in mind though..

Evening all,

I have been absent for a little while (needed a break for research) and also waiting for a package so I could drive on with my build. It finally came and it contained no kits,


Needed the Tamiya for the prop, book for the info and the rest is for later on. I guess you can see where this is going........

Prost
