    Neils Tamiya 1/72 Republic P47D Thunderbolt ‘Razorback'

    So I have painted the underside and topside now, the olive drap is paler than I realised. The red will need to be gone over one more time at least as well.

    Neils Tamiya 1/72 Republic P47D Thunderbolt ‘Razorback'

    So first, a tale of the Carpet Monster falsely accused.. I was putting on the tail wheel flaps, put the first on and then couldn't find the second. These are not tiny, so I was sure I would spot it. I moved my chair, the rug, moved everything off the table, picked up the cutting mat. I spent 20...

    Brian's Caldercraft 1/72 HMS Victory

    I do not have the patience to even attempt something that big or intricate, just amazing. My experience with fleabay has never been great, so I may be biased, but I would definitely look at other ways to sell first. I was looking back on some of the other photos, and I like that you had Star...

    Jim R's Revell 1/72 Torpedo Boat, PT-109

    It's difficult to imagine how the 37mm artillery piece would help with accuracy - really would be point and shoot and hope you are flat when the gun fires. These boats were pretty much seat of the pants and, I seem to recall, not overly successful as torpedo boats - but better in secondary...

    Tamiya SAS jeep 1/35

    Really good work on the land rover and all the extras and the figures are excellent.

    Steven's Eduard 1/48 F6F-3 Hellcat

    excellent painting of your pilot, these resin pilots really are good now - where did you get it? I know my mig will be in-flight and Eduard don't do pilots...

    Cleaning the stash... Sort of

    so I bought 2 WW1 kits - well it seemed wrong to buy a British one without a German one too.

    Hello from Italy

    Welcome, looking at the Super Hornet, are you sure you took a break of 30 years? That is very very good.

    That is very impressive!

    Cleaning the stash... Sort of

    I waited for a delivery of some books from Amazon to see if the box was the right size, but it's too small. Nothing for it, I'll have to get an appropriately sized box by buying a new kit. Now what to buy, so many choices.... I'm thinking something a little different, maybe a WW1 aircraft -...

    Steve's Hasegawa 1/72 AH-64A Apache Attack Helicopter

    Well this looks a whole lot easier than the Mossie. The perfect antidote to a 'challenging' kit. Looking forward to this one.

    Geoff’s Tamiya 1/48 Bristol Beaufighter Mk.VI

    I was assuming that the second seat was a gunner, but I assumed wrong, I see. Navigator/Bomb Aimer? It looks nice and neat and well worth the extra PE

    Cleaning the stash... Sort of

    So I am selling a kit, and I need a box to send it in. If I buy a new kit of about the right size, so I can then use the box that comes in to send the one I've sold, does that count as clearing the stash?

    Nick's Airfix 1/48 Spitfire Mk XIV.

    Poly caps

    Or in my P47 build, not finding the poly cap that is supposed to be included. :confused:

    Jim R's Revell 1/72 Torpedo Boat, PT-109

    It is looking good - but that white plastic doesn't get any better over time, does it? You'll be glad to get the primer on.

    Neils Tamiya 1/72 Republic P47D Thunderbolt ‘Razorback'

    Primed and painted the red bands on the nose and tail. The nose and prop are not glued, just there for the photos. Annoyingly, a tiny bit that I spent 5 minutes getting the masking on, flew off, never to be seen again. Sigh. Just a clear piece that is a light on the underside, I'm sure I can...

    A game changer…..

    I'm sold on the idea, now to put my email in.

    GODZILLA

    Perhaps you can start a sideline in writing the instructions? It is probably not a very lucrative sideline, but just saying. Very nice
