Airfix 1/48 Hawker Hurricane
And a few markings, these are really good decals, they easily put up with being dragged around whilst laying them down.... Although Airfix could do with taking a bit more care with where they have you put them....reference pics are a godsend.. Exhaust stubs still need some work...but I'm...- langy71

Airfix 1/48 Hawker Hurricane
And after a while attempting to decipher airfix's camo patterns, she got masked up, and then she took a trip to the shed (paint shop) to get her new clothes, Now to let this 'settle' for a while before I start the final run to the finish.. oh... she also got some new teeth..- langy71

Airfix 1/48 Hawker Hurricane
Had a bit of spare time today, so off to the paint shop she went, Tamiya 'Sky', lightened with a few drops of flat white to lessen the stark 'green' finish that it tends to appear as it drys 'Standard' black and white for the panel ines and mottling Flat Earth base coat wasn't...- langy71

Airfix 1/48 Hawker Hurricane
Not much to report on this, other than some seem work and a quick test of the wing alignment, quick question though... how much dihedral do the wings have ? as much a Spifire has ? or were they more 'flat' ?- langy71

Airfix 1/48 Hawker Hurricane
A very gracious gift from Andy @The Smythe Meister, cheers mate Not too much detail as it seems to be the 2013 boxing of this kit before it's recent re-tool..as such it's adorned with loads of flash,(every part so far has had an encounter with the sanding pads,) and raised panel lines...(might...- langy71

1/12 Tamiya 240Z Fairlady
Excellent looking build so far Ken, this takes me right back to when my older brother bought a 'wrecked' 240z and over the next year rebuilt it from the ground up, it looked stunning when he'd finished, We spent many a happy day showing the local chav's in their ford sierra sapphires just how...- langy71

I can't find it...
Not sure if this helps, but when I built the bandai C3PO, (which had gold coloured plating on the plastic) I ended up using some 'Oven Pride' cleaner from our local B&M, this stripped the plating back to bare plastic in a few hours, and was totally safe to use on plastic. -
