Valerons Airfix 1/72 Mosquito B.XVI
A bit more progress albeit slow due to a busy life at the moment. I've finally got the main body of the aircraft assembled. I requires some up clean up before priming. I struggled so much getting getting the exhausts in the correct positions. The instructions are very clear but that seem to...- Valeron

Valerons Airfix 1/72 Mosquito B.XVI
On a more positive note, I've fully assembled the cockpit, applied basic colours and fixed the instrument panel decal. I need to apply washes, paint more detail etc before closing the cockpit in the hull. For now though I'll now put this aside and bring the undercarriage up to the same level...- Valeron

Dry brushing with Vallejo
Hi As many of you will know I'm pretty new to all of this and only really started in January. I've been brush painting al my models using Vallejo model colours. I use thinned down paint (with tap water) and find that it flows and covers really easily. But I've recently started to try the dry...- Valeron

Valerons Airfix 1/72 Mosquito B.XVI
My first GB has started and plastic has been cut. Not much to show so far and sorry for my filthy mat. I only bought it in February and look at the state of it already. Anyone cockpit parts have been assembled and will be primed tomorrow before painting and attaching together. There was very...- Valeron

Valerons Airfix 1/72 Mosquito B.XVI
This will be what I'm building for the Mossie group build. I picked it up from the shop at the RAF Museum in Hendon a month or so ago. It'll only be my 3rd model since getting into modelling and joining the forum in January. I'll be brush painting using Vallejo model colour paints which I've...- Valeron

Spots on the Internet (2022)
I've just come across this on Etsy, advertised as Framed Deconstructed model kit Modern day art for the modelling community by the looks of things. There are numerous once available but pricey at £120 plus. But I guess that's modern art for you. -

Completed: Airfix 1:72 Curtis P-40B Warhawk
This was quite an easy build. There was a small amount of filler and light sanding required. I struggled attaching the landing gear and this kept breaking. There is only one connecting point but super glue saved the day. I might attempt to mask the cockpit on my next build as this was painted...- Valeron

Airfix 1:72 Curtis P-40B Warhawk
The main body of the aircraft has now been completed and went together quite easily. I applied tiny bit of filler, did some light sanding, then applied a thin coat of rattle can (Army Painter white) Primer. It needs a bit of tidying and maybe another coat of Primer then I'll add some colour...- Valeron

Airfix 1:72 Curtis P-40B Warhawk
Bench time has been limited but I'm back on it now. The cockpit has been assembled and the fuselage started. I'm currently struggling with fitting the upper wings. Something isn't quite right but I will prevail. Also trying to work out what clear part 4 is. I'm going mad and can't see it on...- Valeron

Airfix 1:72 Supermarine Spitfire Mk. Vc - My first completed build
Following the comments on Matt varnish, I've now brushed on Vallejo Matt acyclic varnish and I think it looks much better compared to the shiny picture I posted earlier.- Valeron

Airfix 1:72 Curtis P-40B Warhawk
I've recently just completed my first model - A 1:72 Spitfire Mk. Vc. I was then going to start a Tamiya T-62 kit I have but as I've signed up for the Mossie Group build in July and I'm new to all of this, I thought I be better of practising with another 1:72 aircraft as that is what I'll be...- Valeron

Airfix 1:72 Supermarine Spitfire Mk. Vc - My first completed build
The next build will be a cheap 1/35 Tamiya T62A kit I purchased. This will be good for practise. As for a Matt coat, I did actually apply one using this so was surprised when the model didn't go very matt. Not having an airbrush I was struggling to find rattle can varnishes and my previous...- Valeron

Airfix 1:72 Supermarine Spitfire Mk. Vc - My first completed build
I have recently just completed the Airfix 1:72 Supermarine Spitfire Mk. Vc and was hoping that you lovely people could give it a once over and give me any feedback. To put this into context, I joined this forum in January. Before then I completed a couple of Airfix starter kits during the first...- Valeron

British Tank Destroyer M10 IIC Achilles 1/35
I've had a bit of a backward step today. I'd previously attached lots of parts I'd handpainted and all was looking good. I was still working on the tracks but thought I'd apply a gloss coat to protect progress so far. I used Veloji gloss and hand brushed it neat. It's all looking a bit of...- Valeron

British Tank Destroyer M10 IIC Achilles 1/35
I've sprayed the tank green with the recommended Tamiya colour. I appreciate this isn't historically accurate and with hindsight I would have bought the proper lighter colour but that's what happens when you don't research. It's my first model so I'll cope. I've also painted alot of detail of...- Valeron

Well I've fallen down the slippery road and started a stash. I got these for a decent price and liked the look of them. It'll be good experience. But I have to finish my first model before that. -

British Tank Destroyer M10 IIC Achilles 1/35
Progress has been a little bit slow as real life has take over and been a bit busy. I have started to get back into this though. I fixed the paint problem caused by the masking, completed painting the Sponsons and attached missiles and attached these to the upper Hull. It's surprising how...- Valeron
