    Colin M's 1:48 Eduard Fokker D.VII

    Well it’s starting to look like an aircraft, even if the colours seem a bit odd for a fighting machine. Then the landing gear struts. Not really any positive locating points for them, so out came the poly cement, giving me lots of time to juggle and persuade things into place. This will be...

    Colin M's 1:48 Eduard Fokker D.VII

    Not much of an update, but the decals have been started. There are big decals for the wings, do I like them ? well, I’m not really sure, but of course the option is to paint them instead. In this scale, that could be painful. The carrier film is quite prominent and I did have a go at peeling it...

    Mikes Gloster Gladiator Mk2, Roden. 1/48

    Michael, you'll be pleased to hear, some aircraft do have turrets. Ok, a bit different than maybe what you are used to. And look, tracks ! There you go, you should feel quite at home now. So, the Gladiator, has neither of the above, but looking at your shopping, it's going to have so much more.

    Colin M's 1:48 Eduard Fokker D.VII

    Moving on, yes, a bit more has been stuck together or painted. The cockpit is finished. A bit of flat varnish followed by a dusting of chalk pastels. Guns, funny little photo etch things will probably look ok once painted. The fuselage is buttoned up and primed. An exhaust manifold...

    Colin M's 1:48 Eduard Fokker D.VII

    Finally, I’m off. I’ve built an engine. I haven’t quite decided if it’s finished yet, it might need some more plumbing etc. However, that depends on how much you can actually see once it’s installed. Then, I built a bit of the cockpit. It still needs a bit more work. I need to dull its...

    I’m in. Father Christmas was rather good to me, leaving this offering under the tree for me.

    What's on the Bench 2023

    Revell 1:32 Spitfire mk2a I think I started this in September. No rush ! It was a second hand kit, £18.00 I think, but it’s only about £30.00 new. I think Revell done ok with this kit.

    Italeri SR 71 Blackbird

    Once again, I've been a bit busy in the real world, with a fair bit of 1:1 painting, paints by Dulux. Have I said before I'm not a fan of decorating. And it all started with a simple statement; 'I'd like to re-model my aquarium' Ma'am replied, 'great let's go and buy some paint' I soon realised...

    Cheers Richard. There are some really nice schemes around, I quite like this one.

    Hobbyboss 1:72 A-7 Corsair II

    Well look at me, I've managed to knock something together. As gardening weather is here, well sort of, what I mean is, as there's a lot of work to do in the garden, bench time is limited to a few minutes here and there. But in those few minutes, I've managed a little 1:72 Hobbyboss Corsair A-7...

    Revell / Matchbox 1:32 De Havilland Sea Venom

    Completed at last. My thoughts on the model ? It's a decent build for the £25.00 it cost me to buy. However, today's prices can be around £60 to £70, which no, it's not worth that sort of money. However, if you really want a 1:32 Sea Venom, I think this is the only one in this scale. The fit was...

    How do we know we're getting old ?

    How do we know we're getting old. Is it the grey, maybe thinning hair ? The, slightly expanding waistline ? Or are you reaching for the reading glasses a bit more often ? All of those and many more are possible. Or you could discover old age like me, pop down to B&Q for a few bits and pieces...

    Revell 1:32 D.H. Sea Venom FAW 22

    The Venom is basically finished, so how a bit of HMS Albion, from 1960, to sit on. This is the result of tonight’s work. That mottled look isn’t so obvious in real life, I’ll see what it looks like in daylight.

    Double Dakota

    I built this version without any problems, but it's the same mold. You have got recessed panel lines haven't you ? Its not an old kit in a new box ?? I think I'm clutching at straws here. Maybe the mold operator was having a seriously bad day.

    The end of Alclad 2

    Alclad, some love it, some hate it, I love it. Unfortunately, it seems it will soon be unavailable 'as we know it' It seems Alclad split into a UK and USA operation. So, if you're in the USA, don't worry, it's business as usual. In the UK, Alclad became HR hobbies but Alclad (USA) weren't happy...
