    Italeri Fairchild Thunderbolt A-10C ‘Blacksnakes'

    Tomorrow, being an extra day off, I will get the dark ghost grey. I also managed to rescue the pylons with bad white airbrushing, I reverted to Tamiya thinners which just flowed better. So all the munitions to do, undercarriage to complete and fit. However, next weekend will be the P47 so this...

    Italeri Fairchild Thunderbolt A-10C ‘Blacksnakes'

    Started to paint it with exciting light ghost grey and dark ghost grey! First, seal the canopy: Then light ghost grey, which is the undersides, sides and some of the top:

    Steve's Revell 1/48 Mosquito B Mk.IV

    Good progress given the the problems that seem to be blighting his, I’m betting that you will run into something else and fix it.

    Gravesham (Gravesend) Sat 23rd May 2026 - Photos

    Lots of photos and some really nice ones there. It makes you realise the breadth of subjects too - I liked the galleys - I’ve got a soft spot for the Roman history

    Neils Tamiya 1/72 Republic P47D Thunderbolt ‘Razorback'

    I bought some rods so this will be in flight. I have not really looked at it yet either so not sure of what schemes there are or what I will paint it. Probably no aftermarket or PE - well maybe masks because looking at that canopy - it could be fiddly but nothing else. That said, when I go...

    May go dark for a little while

    Good luck, wish you a speedy recovery, my father-in-law had his done a few years back and no problems.

    Eduard 1/48 A6M3 Zero 'Dead stick' (Completed)

    Awesome work Steven, the base is perfect - of course, you’ll have to put the Hellcat on the same with a Stars and Stripes now :) Just out of interest (or more like planning next purchase :ROFLMAO:💸) are these taken in a light box?

    As icons go, this is absolutely classic.

    Neils Tamiya 1/72 Republic P47D Thunderbolt ‘Razorback'

    Placeholder for my entry. As I am doing the A10 Thunderbolt II, seems only reasonable to do the original for this GB.

    Going awol

    OK chaps, make sure our other halves DO NOT see this, or will all be consigned to the garage or shed!

    U.S.Icons Group Build - Do’s and Don’ts

    I built this a few years ago, this is the one that made me get a bunch more Eduard kits, a good choice and perfect for a diorama with a Zero

    U.S.Icons Group Build - Do’s and Don’ts

    Mine will be this - the antithesis of a Spitfire, definitely a bulldog to the greyhound.

    Geoffs 1/48 Eduard “Spitfire Story” Spitfire Mk.I ( 90 years of the Spitfire GB) completed.

    Lovely little Spit, they really are one of those aircrafts that just look perfect, like an E-Type or a Mustang - they just look right.

    Italeri Fairchild Thunderbolt A-10C ‘Blacksnakes'

    Thanks, I think you are right, I probably need to be more diligent with the mixing. Well 3 day w/e so I’ll try again then.

    Tamiya Fireblade

    That is inspiring, I don’t do anything wheeled but looking at this I may be missing a trick. After my disastrous white gloss air-brush today. I’m well impressed with this. Maybe I need to try the same as you have here.

    Italeri Fairchild Thunderbolt A-10C ‘Blacksnakes'

    No photos today. Had some tiny PE to try and fit in the cockpit, but then I was trying to spray the pylons, missiles etc gloss white and that was not working. Tamiya X2. First I tried Mr Color levelling thinners and that was like sludge. Then I used Tamiya thinner which at least sprayed but it...
