Youtube ad blocker
Hello everyone, Does anyone use a good ad blocker for youtube ? I don't mind the odd advert (I know they are necessary) but right in the middle of a song, is a bit anoying. -
Hobbybos 1:48 F111-A Aardvark
Here's my first finish of 2026. OK, 99.9% was built in 2025 but I did try to re-attach a main landing gear door today, but it fell off again. This is the Hobbyboss 1:48 F111-A, and it's a bit of a beast. A big old beast. This has been on the slow burner for a lot of 2025, but here it is finally...- colin m

90th anniversary, Hawker Hurricane's first flight 6th Nov 1935 Airfix Mk1 Hurricane
Done it, just in time. I actually thought it would be an easy finish, but you know how it is, just one more bit of detail here and there. It's the Airfix 1:48 Mk 1 Hurricane, finished in water based acrylics this time (I didn't have the correct MRP on the shelf) Airfix decals, which behaved...- colin m

90th anniversary, Hawker Hurricane's first flight 6th Nov 1935 Airfix Mk1 Hurricane
Paint, we have paint. Unfortunately, I didn't have the correct MRP in stock so had to resort to some very old acrylic paints, which proved a bit of a pain to spray. Or maybe life is just so much easier with MRP, I've suffered acrylic skill fade. Anyway, when I could actually get the paint down...- colin m

90th anniversary, Hawker Hurricane's first flight 6th Nov 1935 Airfix Mk1 Hurricane
Cheers chaps for stopping by. Well I wasn't expecting problems, but it turned out to be a real tight fit. Now, that looks like a Hurricane. The stbd wing root was perfect, the port had a small gap, easily dealt with by a small 'spreader' in the fuselage. Time for primer. Oh wait, masking...- colin m

90th anniversary, Hawker Hurricane's first flight 6th Nov 1935 Airfix Mk1 Hurricane
A small update. Like many builds, we start with the cockpit. Well, the seat, then 'pit. Which fits into he cockpit, but still isn't part of the aircraft yet. The instrument panel does have a decal to use, but I just thought, highlighting the raise detail might look a bit better. The...- colin m

90th anniversary, Hawker Hurricane's first flight 6th Nov 1935 Airfix Mk1 Hurricane
Apologies for the big title, but it gets the message across. Actually, I had to shorten it as you can only have 85 characters in a title, so the missing bit of information, is the scale, it's 1:48. On the 6th November 1935, K5083 flew for the first time. Let's be honest, it was an aircraft, we...- colin m

Colin M's Battle of Britain GB, Fiat CR 42
I did actually finish this a couple of weeks go, but you know how life is ! Pictures, Finished using MRP and a bit of pastel shading. The struts look a bit over sized, but when you think there is practically no rigging, it sort of makes sense. However, the struts on the model were to long, and...- colin m

Hawker Hurricane - 90 years
Gentlemen, The Hawker Hurricane's first flight was the 6th November 1935, making it 90 years ago, on the 6th November 2025. This sounds like an occasion to mark with a group build, however, the problem is, we had a GB for the Hurricane between April to July 2024. So what do we think, is there...- colin m

Single Blade Nipper DSPIAE ST-A 3.0
Gentlemen, my credit card is wonderfully clear at the moment, so, I might take this opportunity to upgrade my cutters. But, are these cutters really worth the price ? What is the advantage of these over average cutters ? Do you use them, or maybe other 'better than average' cutters ...- colin m
