    1/24 Airfix Spitfire.

    Got to say, a lovely kit. Wings wanted to disrupt the party by not snuggling up to the fuselage but that's could be me!

    Cutting and shaping decals.

    I'm about a 1/3 through the new Airfix Spitfire and I've decided to leave open the gun bays on the wings. I haven't done this before so never concerned with decals. However, this time I will leave them open so I'm interested to know what your technique is in applying decals surrounding open...

    Its here.

    Got me the new 1/24 Spitfire from Airfix. Looks great, however I'd like to get some better detailed cockpit parts and hopefully a good canopy mask. Any pointers greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Del

    Been away..

    Hello guys, Sorry for lack of posting, been abroad for a couple of weeks. Before that I was invited to 10 Downing St to receive a Bravery award from the PM and Home Secretary. Great day, nice way to sign off my Police career. (Nice to be back mind!!)

    Aftermarket tracks.

    Good afternoon gang! Fathers day has landed me Tamiya 1/35 Sturmgeschütz iii ausf.b. I want to do it justice for the kids but it comes with those rubber tracks. Any pointers on a decent set of aftermarket tracks? Thanks in advance Del

    Eduard 1/48 Hawker Tempest

    In RIAF colours. I'm really beginning to enjoy Eduard models, and the choice in decals is very good. Del

    Shocked.

    Well, although retired I got a call out of the blue a few weeks back to say I was the recipient of an award due to my actions on a particular night near the end of my service. Well I attended said awards ceremony and shockingly my colleague an I won the overall award which now means I'm off to...

    Revell 1/35 Bell UH-1C.

    A pig of a kit. Nothing wanted to fit...at all!!!! Revell have a lot of making up to do with me! Del

    HKM 1/32 Lancaster B Mk1 (Nose Art)

    Lovely kit but I'm glad I didn't go for the full kit!!!

    Any advice? (Hanging builds)

    Just a quick ask... I place my builds into glass cabinets, I currently hang the aircraft using both 'sucker' pads and/or adhesive double sided tape from the glass shelves undersides. However, both keep failing and aren't 'man enough' to hold even 1/72 scale after a week or so.... glass is...

    AFV Club 1/35 British CVR(T) FV Scorpion Tank. Royal Hussars.

    Simple kit, just as well as quite a few parts misnumbered and some parts simply forgot about!!! Del

    Zoukei-Mura 1/32 P-51 Mustang.

    Tricky paint , tricky decals...but lovely to build! Thoroughly recommended. Del

    Tamiya 1/48 Ilyushin IL-2 Shturmovik.

    Got this via a recommendation from here, not a lot to it but your usual Tamiya high quality. Three versions to pick from, I opted for Pilot Ivan Fomich Pavlov known as 'White One' Del

    Tamiya 1/35 Nashorn

    My first attempt with figures (shakey hands) but it had to be done as they are quite articulate in their poses. Lovely kit, main gun fully workable. Del

    Zoukei Mura 1/32 Kawasaki Ki-45

    Lovely lovely kit, lots to do and a lot of it hidden, a bit of a waste with all the clear parts on offer and after all that it's frosted so not really that clear to see so I opted for the non clear version! Del.

    Border 1/35 Messerschmitt BF109 G-6.

    Very frustrating build this, mainly down to parts misnumbered and having to locate parts by sight. No indication of internal colours, but 6 different camo schemes. Each kit comes with a surprise element/pilot. Mine was this unusual black finish and marking and a 'scarface pilot'! Del.

    Unique idea.

    Apologies if posted before but this posted up on the Official Airfix site.... Different but strangely unique, I like it.

    Tamiya 1/48 Fiesler Fi156C 'Storch'

    Lovely kit although a fair bit of 'Metal work' involved in the wings and wheel/skid struts, but a great little kit.

    Modelling blind.

    Just started on a Border Messerschmitt BF109 G6. Never built a Birder kit, all smartly packed and presented. Started on the engine and a few of the parts are wrong labelled, for example Part D6 is actually F82 and so on which means I'm having to physically compare random parts to the picture...
