Irrational dislikes
Are there any subjects in the genre you mainly build which are generally popular but just leave you cold? For me it’s the P-51Mustang and Harrier, both iconic and historically significant aircraft but they just don’t fire my blood 🤔 Not sure why, they both have a variety of Mks and markings... -

Geoffs Airfix 1/72 Bristol Blenheim Mk.IVf -Paint it Black GB
Thank Ian for running the GB, I’ve enjoyed taking part 👏 My build is now finished, it represents an aircraft of No.68 Squadron RAF flown by W/Cdr Max Aitken from RAF High Ercall, Shropshire during April 1941. Max Aitken was the son of Lord Beaverbrook, who if you weren’t aware was the owner of...- Geoffers

Latest Acquisitions (2025)
Some other recent purchases. I built the Hunter not long after I returned to the hobby and remember it being enjoyable so thought I’d try another one. One short coming of it though is it doesn’t have jet intakes so I’ve got the correction set to have a play with. The rotary tool should come... -
Latest Acquisitions (2025)
Not sure what went wrong, it’s still showing up this end. Never mind, 2nd time lucky 🤞🤞 Let me know if it’s visible or not please. Geoff. -
Who has the oldest model kit?
I’ve got nothing really old in my stash 🤔 I’ve nothing against older kits it’s just that most of the models of subjects I’m interested in have been superceded by more modern toolings. The oldest original tooled kit I have is this from 1978 but mine is a recent re-release 😊 Geoff. -
Repainting a Victor
https://www.facebook.com/yorkshirepost.newspaper/videos/1802146514070666/?mibextid=rS40aB7S9Ucbxw6v I think it would look more in scale if they had done black basing 😂 Geoff. -
Latest Acquisitions (2025)
Latest arrivals at Geoffers Towers 😀 I had a bit of a stash clear out so had room for a couple of replacements. Both kits from the shop, great service as usual from John 👍 I’m not sure it was the Royal Navy’s last propeller fighter as the Hawker Sea Fury was in service longer, but it looks... -
Geoffs Revell 1/72 P-47M Thunderbolt
Well it’s taken over 12 months but I’ve finally gotten it finished 😊 I picked it up for around a tenner when I popped into my local Hobbycraft as I quite liked the colour scheme. Its a nice little kit and I enjoyed the build but if I build another one I would definitely get after market...- Geoffers

Revell 1/72 P-47M Thunderbolt
Hello, I’ve finally finished this one 😊 It has been sitting on the “shelf of doom” nagging at me for a while so I found some time earlier today to get it finished. Its had some light weathering with oils and the final few bits and bobs added. I’ll pop up a few more pictures in the finished...- Geoffers

Acrylic ink
Hello chaps, I’ve been thinking of trying acrylic ink for weathering as it can be used for various techniques. I’ve watched a few YouTube videos regarding this but am unsure what brand of ink would be best. Daler-Rowney seems the most readily available locally. Does anyone use acrylic ink...- Geoffers

Geoffs Airfix 1/72 Fairey Firefly for Paul Ts Vintage Airfix Group Build.
Firstly a big thank you to PaulT for proposing and hosting this GB. It has opened my eyes to the enjoyment that these older kits can provide. I would definitely build some others in th The kit lacks a lot of detail that we have come to expect from modern kits but went together well and looks...- Geoffers

Latest Acquisitions (2025)
Well my self imposed ban on buying new kits didn’t last long 😳 A lot of outlets seem to be selling these off at discount prices. I presume they have fallen well down in the pecking order since the Airfix version was released. Its certainly not as detailed as the Airfix one but still looks... -
Latest Acquisitions (2025)
Just thought I’d drop this in here. I’m currently building an Airfix 1/72 Beaufighter which was coming along nicely. However one of the engine cowls dropped to the floor as I pushed my chair back to pick it up and heard a crunching sound as the wheel ran over the part 😱 I tried to repair it but... -

Best and Worse and Least used bits of modelling kit?
I’ve got lots of things I have aquired over the years but these sprang immediately to mind. Pointless purchase: leather hole punch which I bought for creating round bits of masking. I’ve hardly used it as it doesn’t work well with thin material Most used: my Swann-Morton scalpel handles which... -
Shelf of Doom 😱
When I first returned to the hobby I was such a good lad. I tended to start a kit and stick with it until it was finished. Lately however I seem to be acquiring a few “shelf queens” for one reason or another. Currently residing on my shelf of doom I have: Airfix 1/72 Phantom- not so much a... -
Geoffs Airfix 1/72 Gloster Meteor III
Hello chaps, All finished and I’m pleased with how it turned out. A much better than my first attempt at this all those years ago. Built in flight, probably like my original build so I could zoom it around the living room ( then I mean not now, honest 😚). Hope you like it 👍 Thanks for...- Geoffers
