Thanks

They're all great but I especially like the Buccaneer.
Cheers

I too love the Buccaneer, one of my favourite aircraft, plus of course the Spey Phantom.

I would love a 1/32 Buccaneer, perhaps HK Models after they release their 1/32 Spey Phantom... These two will be a good departure from my WW2 theme....

Beautiful work Paul, King Tiger dio uses multi levels very effectively, Sherman and Stug are wonderfully rendered.
Planes are clean and greatly detailed....nice job!

Thanks Jim , if you ever get to the waly parks national Hot rod museum in the states look out for the Dragster in miniature expo ,they are all my builds I donated 75 drag cars most scratchbuilt six years ago.

I build, as you know, primarily in 1/32 scale and I have posted those...

Here are my 1/48 scale models. Some of these were my initial practise subjects when I got back into the hobby after a 30 year break including the Bf109, Spitfire 1 and Seafire. The others I built either just for a change or in most cases just to test new methods. Anyway, here they are and apologies for the photography....

Airfix Bf109E, my first build when I got back and my first weathering attempt.

then a couple of Tammy Spitties...

The Airfix Seafire - I love this camo scheme.

and a couple of others...

I also love 1/24 scale but space and the limited number of subjects means I have only built one that I could not resist - the 1/24 Tiffy
View attachment 296953

There are one or two more kits that I have built and need to find the photos, when I do I will post one of each of them.

 

[BarryW]

I have found two more
Italeri Hurricane 1/48
View attachment 296954
1/32 Revell JU88 - the first model I bought when I got back into this. I remember I did not enjoy the build thanks to some poor fit and engineering and ended up rushing the finish.
View attachment 296955

I still cannot find my pics of my 1/32 ZM Skyraider or my only 1/72 build of the Airfix Tiffy, I may not have photographed the latter as it was just a curiosity build!!!

 

[Thorbrand]

Wow these are all really good! I'll post mine up later

The Typhoon looks awesome! I have both bubble top and Car door versions now and I can't wait to get stuck in!
Thanks for sharing

I strongly recommend using paint masks in that scale Paul - they just look so much better and I find them easier to do as well.
Montex have several sets http://www.montex-mask.com/en/home
Maketar also have a set http://shop.maketar.com/?product_cat=124-aircraft

I look forward to seeing your builds

Already have masks for the bubble top and will be purchasing a set for the car door when they become available. Been using masks for years now in 1/32 and above it’s definitely the way forward.

The mk1 Spitfire (wheels-up., motorised prop) you see in my gallery was painted using home made masks.

Your dragsters are awesome, museum quality is no surprise.
My very first models (early teens) were muscle cars and dragsters (awfully done I'm sure) but after my stint in the service and once married and settled down I got into military vehicles
and never looked back.
