Reduced bench time but wish me luck - thanks for the support!
Hi all Firstly, apologies that I have not been around much recently and not commented on your work as much as I would like. Work has unfortunately been extremely busy the past few weeks, to the point that I found myself working first thing in the morning on both Christmas Eve and Boxing... -
Andrews’ 1/72 Tamiya Mosquito XIII ‘Lonesome Polecat’ (papa 695’s 2022 Mossie GB)
Hi all So as some of you know this was completed a few days before the deadline but I’ve not had a chance to take the final pictures until now. All-in-all a very enjoyable build, although not without a few hiccups along the way. It also ticks off a number of boxes; my first ever Mossie and in...- adt70hk

Andrew's 1/72 Tamiya Mosquito Mk XIII
Hi all And so with three days to spare Lonesome Polecat is finished.....JUST.....the glue is still drying! It's unlikely I will have the time to get the full set of pics up before the end of the year and so wanted to get this up to be prove it was done in time. ATB. Andrew- adt70hk

Here again!
Dave sorry to hear of your problems. Can't comment on the the issues you're having but if you do need a new bottle, then you can't go wrong with the below. It came highly recommended by Jim and Tim amongst others and although I've only used it a couple of times, it is the best AB experience...- adt70hk

Which DSPIAE nippers?
Hi all As I really have no more space in the stash for new kits, I'm looking at improving my tools of the trade for this great hobby. So I have heard great things about this nippers ever since they were launched, even allowing for the fact that they're not cheap. I know a number of people on... -

So not very exciting but heard good things about this range in terms of performance..... Laquer based paints are out and these seem to be the best water based ones.... If I get in ok with this, might order some more in the future. ATB. Andrew -
Latest Acquisitions (2022)
Hi all So this arrived today for my Mossie build.... It really was very expensive given the price of the kit (excessive delivery charges and VAT were the main cause). However, I've lost two weeks to my work on the DIY nose and there was no guarantee how much longer it would take and more... -
Tim’s 1/48 Tamiya Mosquito FB Mk VI
Hi Tim, Here's the other version. Although in hindsight I think the double-page spread has better definition. As for the amount of metal in the "footprint", it's just dawned on me that we're only seeing the tracer rounds......about 1 in 5 I believe...... that really is a lot of lead...- adt70hk

Tim’s 1/48 Tamiya Mosquito FB Mk VI

Andrew's 1/72 Tamiya Mosquito Mk XIII
Morning all And so I have had a massive stroke of good fortune on this build, I have stumbled across what might best termed the 'semi-official' WW2 history of the 409 Sqn RCAF aka 'The Nighthawks' on the Aircrew Remembered website (link HERE). I've not heard of this site but they have scanned...- adt70hk

Latest Acquisitions (2022)
Ok. So as some of you may have seen, my Tamiya FB VI sacrificed itself to become a Mk XIII for the Mossie GB after it turned out Tamiya's Mk XIII I had in the stash came with the wrong nose. This of course left me without a Mossie FB Mk VI for my 'Hunters and Hunted' collection...... Clearly... -
Andrew's 1/72 Tamiya Mosquito Mk XIII
'Lonesome Polecat' (The Hunters and the Hunted) Good evening all Now I have got my 109s over the line, I can crack on with this GB kit. Firstly though a big thanks to Ian for organising this GB. It actually allows me kill three birds with one stone. The first is that this will be my first...- adt70hk

'The Hunters and the Hunted' - completed builds
Hi all A general thanks for all the support. Out of interest I did some more research to see what happened to Manfred Dieterle. Whilst there is some more info, none of it categorially states whether or not he survived the war, although I kind of get the impression he did from the phrasing but...- adt70hk

1/72 Tamiya kit - should I complain about these wings?
Hi all I'm about to start my Mossie GB kit and have noticed these marks on the wings.....should I worry and complain? Or will I be ok? I can't feel anything with my finger or nails when I run over them, the wings don't seem obviously distorted and both of the other Tamiya Mossie kits I have...- adt70hk
