Vallejo Model Air and dry tip - this might help......
Hi all So time time stick my head above the parapet again....... I hope this doesn't come across as me trying to teach some very experienced modellers to suck the proverbial egg......but I've been in a PM conversation with Comrade Dzhon "4BO" Race about this recently and he thought it be might...- adt70hk

My Super Bowl set up
Hi all So I'm killing two birds with one stone tonight. Watch the game and get some modelling done.... Only three plus hours to go! Oh yes and it's midnight as I type this. ATB. Andrew. -
Review: Life Color 'Rust and Dust' Set (for Jakko)
Hi all So back in November 2019 when I got these, Jakko said he was interested to know how I got on with them. So better late than never I thought it was about time I posted a ‘review’. I’ve not done any major reviews before and I’m far from a modelling or paint expert, so if I’ve missed...- adt70hk

Andrew's 1/35 North Africa Vignette (SimonT Tribute GB)
Hi all So fired up our digital SLR (once the battery had been charged) and had a quick play around with the settings, to try and get some better shots. The below are not perfect but are much closer to the true colour than before, if a touch on the dark side, and so give a much better...- adt70hk

Andrew's 1/35 North Africa Vignette (SimonT Tribute GB)
Hi all So I have finally managed to get all the etch-work finish. As I'd already finished the build when I found the set online, so there were some pieces that I couldn't use or had to be a bit creative with. As an example, I couldn't use the track covers in full, as I'd hacked some boxes off...- adt70hk

Andrew's 1/35 North Africa Vignette (SimonT Tribute GB)
Hi all As you may already have seen, this was Christmas pressie from my mum - at least the money that bought it was. I now everything I need to finish the build - at least I think I do! ATB Andrew- adt70hk

Conversion charts for paint.
Hi Tim Are you using it on your phone? If so you only see the AK tile but if you swipe left you get to each one individually. I had the same reaction on my phone when I first saw it. Below are a couple of screenshots from using it on my laptop - much better (using Chrome BTW). The... -

Bob's 2nd build and yes its a StuG. Tamiya 1/35 Ausf G plus extras
I'm not using one myself but I've got a bulk pack for DIY purposes that comes with an accelerator but in a large felt tip form, rather than the usual spray can, so you just wipe the piece to be glued over it rather than spray half a can over the model. It's so economical that although I'm on my...- adt70hk

The dark art of German tracks......a question....
Hi all So I'm going to be starting on my first set of workable track links on my North Africa Vignette but what I truly know about tracks wouldn't fill a postage stamp. I'm going using some Bronco ones for my build. I remember reading (Jakko and others) that the drive sprocket is not quite...- adt70hk

COMPLETED - Andrew's 1/72 Monogram Messerschmitt Bf 110E-1
Morning all So got this across the finish line this morning. This is a plane from the 6th Staffel (II Gruppe) of Zerstörergeschwader 26 (ZG 26) "Horst Wessel", as seen in Russia in 1941 if the photos I've found online are to be believed. During this time Gruppe's I and II apparently served in...- adt70hk

Andrew's 1/72 Monogram Bf110E-1
Hi all So other than having to stick on the small sticky out bits and pieces that ask to get broken off during construction and painting, removing the canopy mask, gluing the base on and adding the aerial wires, this is done. I finished off with an attempt (not that successful) to do some...- adt70hk

Andrew's 1/35 North Africa Vignette (SimonT Tribute GB)
Hi all So now my Bf 110 is nearing the home straight (more about that later), I'm starting to think about my build for Simon's GB. I didn't know Simon, although he was kind enough to comment on a few of my builds. I have seen from more than a few posts that he was always encouraging people to...- adt70hk

Spots on the Internet 2020
Hi all Apologies if these have already been highlighted but I don't think I've seen them. Found these on the Airfix website and are all new tools. Interestingly for the braille scale ones they're 1/72 rather than the Airfix's usual 1/76 for AFVs. They're also interesting in that the 1/72... -
Airbrushing Future (or whatever it's currently called)
Hi all So you may remember I recently purchased a coat of Future in it's current incarnation (can't remember what it's current branding is). I'm not far off giving it go and so have been doing some research but as usual there are a range of opinions on how it should be used through an AB and...- adt70hk

Andrew's 1/72 Monogram Bf110E-1
Hi all Apologies for not being around much. Very little time for the forum this week. I managed to get the bombs, props and splinter camo done at the weekend. Although it's not obvious the yellow coat on the bombs isn't perfect as from what I've seen it was seems to have been roughly applied...- adt70hk

Andrew's 1/72 Monogram Bf110E-1
Hi all So I managed to get some paint on at the weekend. The bombs received a coat of dark green in line with this article I found online. Ironically it is very close to the colour of the kit plastic but will be given some added yellow markings as per the below photo (courtesy of Steve aka...- adt70hk
