    Completed - Andrew's 1/72 Airfix Tempest V 'Secret Santa'

    Ok chaps so as you may have already seen, this has now crossed the finish line in record time for me, only six weeks! So before I go into my usual summary, I should warn the purists out there that I have a taken historical liberty with the markings but when you see what I have done I hope you...

    East Midlands Show - Hinkley (UK) - 6th April 2025

    Afternoon all So better late than never, you'll find below some taster shots of the above show I went to a couple of weeks ago. As always there are far too many pics to upload (200+), so I have created the usual album so you can have a peruse at your leisure - link below. It was a reasonable...

    Andrew's 'Secret Santa' 1/72 Airfix Tempest V (post war)

    Hi all So now that the Mustang is done, this will be next victim. You probably won't recall but this was a Secret Santa present from a colleague at work at Christmas- clearly they know me too well! As most of you will probably know the Tempest was the fighter that Sydney Camm was probably...

    Completed - Andrew's 1/72 Airfix RoKA F-51D Mustang

    Good evening all And so after the last minute problems with canopy, I have decided to call this build finished and in doing so achieved four firsts: My first Mustang....I'll let that sink in...... In fact my first US plane since coming back to the hobby and possibly ever! My first all metal...

    Problems accessing the site in my laptop after being fine earlier...

    Is anyone else having problems accessing the forum on their laptop/pc? I can access it fine on my phone but laptop says it's taking too long to respond. I have tried chrome and edge and neither works but EVERY other website and internet access thing I try is fine, so it's not an issue...

    Andrew's 1/72 Airfix F-51D Mustang (South Korean Air Force)

    Hi all So this has been on the workbench for a while but I've not had the chance to take any pics yet. As you will see below I have made some progress and am about to button it up but before that some background info. The Scalemates entry for this kit is unusually all over the place but from...

    Shuttleworth Model Show 2025 - 16th Feb

    Hi all Our club (and me) will be at the Shuttleworth show next Sunday. As I understand the show is actually being run by the museum, rather than the club that used to run it. I can't say if it will also get you full access to the museum. If any of you come, look out for the club stand -...

    Completed - Andrew's 1/72 Airfix Typhoon IB (starter kit)

    Dear all Firstly apologies for being so tardy in my attendance but for some reason finding any time to get on the forum is proving a challenge. Anyway.....much later than planned, please find below the final shots of the finish Tiffy. As I don't have very good indoor lighting I like to take my...

    Completed - Andrew's 1/48 Academy Spitfire XIVc 'what if'

    Hi all So as per the build thread, this has now crossed the finish line and by my standards in near record time, despite the issues with the decals - some of the kits doing and some of my making (see build thread for details). As many will know this kit and its sister XIVe kit apparently has a...

    Andrew's 1/72 Airfix Typhoon IB (starter kit)

    Hi all Now the Academy Spitfire is across the finish line, this will be my next build - a return to my first love that is the one true scale of 1/72! That's right 1/72 is THE one true scale!! So this has been sitting on my workbench for about two months, saying build me.....mainly because I...

    Letchworth IMPS (UK) pics - 19th October 2024

    Hi all So I made it to another show with our little club last week. It's on the very SE edge of our usual travel area and so we sometimes see clubs that we don't normally come across. The show is in a building now owned by a church but back in it's past it was a parachute factory, including in...

    Andrew's 1/72 Hauler (resin) AEC Mk III - for Roger

    Evening all Thanks to Peter for suggesting this GB. So as the Spitfire XIV is making good progress, I'm going to start this at club night on Tuesday...after all trying to airbrush my Spit at club night is perhaps a step too far!! In terms of this particular vehicle, all the 1/72 kits are...

    Fenland and Spalding show aka Wings & Things 2024

    Hi all So great to meet up with scottie3158 again. Another good show, just a shame Mike and JR couldn't make it I've got quite a few pics, so as usual have created an album, which you can find here: https://www.flickr.com/gp/139640818@N02/W4J7EwQsry Below are a few taster shots. ATB Andrew...

    Andrew's completed 1/72 Airfix Wurger double bill

    Hi all So as you may have seen, better late than never, I have got these two across the finish line. I had planned to an F-8 and an A-8 but had enough spares from the F-8 to turn the A-8 into an F-8, as long as you don't pay too much attention to the canopy. Also, for my purposes, the Red 2...

    Andrew's 1/48 Academy Spitfire XIVc

    Hi all The two FW190s crossed the finish line earlier this week (more about that later) and so as I'm holiday I got cracking on my next subject....this. If this review (link) is anything to by then there are some serious shape issues, most notably around the nose, albeit this individual (link)...

    The coming storm!

    Hi chaps Firstly apologies for not being around much.....new job plus some time away. A friend from a US site I'm on has been visiting the UK and so I met up with him Saturday to visit the RAF Museum @ Hendon and then HMS Belfast. As we were about to get off the Belfast, with a nice sunny sky...

    Coventry and Warwickshire IPMS Show (UK) - winning an award

    Good evening all I hope you are all well? So as you probably know, I attended the above show today. For our non-UK members, it was held at a small volunteer museum (link) by Coventry airport in the Midlands. Like most shows this had a competition but of what I call the 'open' variety, in...
