Latest Acquisitions (2025)
Latest and last purchase for a while as I’m self imposing a bit of a halt on buying for a while as over done it a bit lately 🙄 I’ve been after one of these for a while but not been able to find one at a reasonable price until now 🥳 Geoff. -
The Vulcan Experience
Hello chaps, To any of you who live in Great Britain and are interested in aircraft can I recommend a visit to the Vulcan Experience based in ex RAF Finningley. I was lucky enough to spend a very pleasant Sunday morning getting close upto this magnificent old lady. It’s XH588 the last flying... -
Latest Acquisitions (2025)
Latest arrivals from the shop with a couple of nice freebies, cheers John :D I want to have a play with Eduards “improved” decals to see how they perform. I’ve read some bad things but also some good things about them so I decided to try them myself :rolleyes: Geoff. -
Who’s got a Dog?
I love the cat owners thread but it only seems fair not to leave out our other four legged companions out. Last year was a bad one for my partner and me as we both lost our dog. This was my partners dog Bobby a Westie/Poodle cross who was 10 and this was my lil girl Tiffie Not sure exactly... -
Latest Acquisitions (2025)
Latest arrivals at Geoffers Towers :) A much needed jig, it will be very useful when I’m applying transfers or weathering. I’m particularly pleased with the P-40 as it has the original Cartogaph Decals rather than the new (Eduard style) ones. Geoff. -

Geoffs Revell 1/72 Fw 190 A-8 & BV 246 “Hagelkorn”
More progress to report 😊 The painting has been completed, the mottling looks reasonably ok I think and the transfers are on. The transfers were horrible 😖 the carrier film looks cloudy and the transfers themselves had a tendency to break up with the slightest touch. I’ve left quite a few...- Geoffers

Latest Acquisitions (2025)
Hello chaps, These arrived today, all bagged in Airfix’s latest sale. I’ve had my eye on both the Buccaneer and B-25 for a while. They were both over half the usual RRP at £15.99 each and with my 10% Airfix club discount they were just too good to miss The Bf-109 was added to push the... -
Latest Acquisitions (2025)
I have x2 0.2 needle size airbrushed which are great for detail work but I needed something with a larger nozzle for priming/clear coats etc. I found this on Amazon, currently discounted to £26.59 😮 Comes with a 0.3:5 and 0.5 needle and nozzle, two size paint cups, spare seals and a small tube... -
Geoffs Revell 1/72 Fw 190 A-8 & BV 246 “Hagelkorn”
The painting is progressing nicely 🙂 Most of the bits and bobs done, just the props and spinners to do. This one is nearly done as the scheme is all over RLM.76. I just have the exhausts to mask off and paint plus the tail wheel. A bit more needed with this one, upper camo colours then...- Geoffers

Latest Acquisitions (2025)
Latest purchases 😊 It’s a new release of a bit of an oldie, hopefully goes together ok. I’ve never built a Heller kit before, one thing a bit different is the kit is not in plastic bags inside the box but the runners are separated by sheets of paper, more environmentally friendly I suppose 🤔... -
Geoffs Revell 1/72 Fw 190 A-8 & BV 246 “Hagelkorn”
All primed (Mr Surfacer 1500). Not very exciting but another stage of the build completed 😊. Top coats next so another update soon. Thanks for looking 👍 Geoff.- Geoffers

Geoffs Revell 1/72 Fw 190 A-8 & BV 246 “Hagelkorn”
Nearly ready for primer 😊 Just got the photo-etch seatbelts to attach before dropping the seats into place. Then I’ll be masking and fitting the cockpit canopies before priming. Everything else has been cleaned up and is ready to go. I had to cut the gun barrels off one of them to clean up...- Geoffers

Revell 1/72 P-47M Thunderbolt
Not far off done now. All the transfers have been added, probably the worst aspect of the kit to be honest. Some silvering around the carrier film in a few places despite going down over a nice gloss surface. Its had a flat coat now so just the few ancillary parts to add and a bit of...- Geoffers

Geoffs Revell 1/72 Fw 190 A-8 & BV 246 “Hagelkorn”
Quick update chaps 😊 The second “Butcher Bird” has progressed pretty painlessly, I remembered to drill the appropriate holes this time 😅. I didn’t do too much with the cockpit on the 2nd model. Unfortunately as you may see, next to nothing can be seen anyway. Both seats will be added once...- Geoffers

OSS Station VICTOR
Hello chaps, Thought this may be of interest to any of you who are into WW2 history. I was away for the weekend , staying in a lovely little village in Buckinghamshire. While having a look around I was surprised to see this. I googled it and it found the following Established in 1943 by... -
Geoffs Revell 1/72 Fw 190 A-8 & BV 246 “Hagelkorn”
Well this is embarrassing 😳 The build has been progressing nicely, after painting the cockpit parts with added a dark wash to enhance the details. I also highlighted a few of the swithes(sorry about the up pic, my phone doesn’t really like close ups 😕) Once I was happy with the results it...- Geoffers

Planning a build
I’ve been thinking about my approach to a build. Up until now when starting something new I just open the box and dive right in. I follow the instructions to a degree but this approach invariably leads me to missing or forgetting something I should do during the build 🙄. So I’m thinking that... -

A few pics now that the masking has been removed 😊 Decals next, another update soon. Thanks for looking 👍 Geoff.- Geoffers

Latest Acquisitions (2025)
A few supplies arrived this week. From the shop, a few paints for my Fw 190, another couple of marker/painting pens which I am really liking and a possible future entry if the “paint it black” GB comes to fruition. Also. Seatbelts for the Fw 190, Masks and instrument panel for the Defiant...
