Geoffs Revell 1/72 Fw 190 A-8 & BV 246 “Hagelkorn”
Well I’ve made a bit of a start today 😊 Cockpit parts cleaned up and painted in the base colour. No decals for the instrument panel and side consoles so some detail painting required 😱. I’ve ordered some photo etch seat belts which should hopefully arrive soon. I’ve also put the glide bomb...- Geoffers

Geoffs Revell 1/72 Fw 190 A-8 & BV 246 “Hagelkorn”
Well here we go with my entry. I don’t build Luftwaffe kits as a rule but wanted to join the GB as a tribute to Alan, I hope I can do it justice 🤞. This kit is from the 1990s when Revell were knocking out some decent kits and this looks to be no exception 😊 Here’s the plastic. Some nice...- Geoffers

Revell 1/72 P-47M Thunderbolt
A bit more progress today 😊 The dark blue has been done, I used me Color C326 Insignia Blue for this. There are a couple of areas that will benefit from a touch up but I’m otherwise pleased with it. I have also painted the tyres and propeller so not too much more to do now 👍 Thanks for...- Geoffers

Revell 1/72 P-47M Thunderbolt
A quick update 😊 The engine has been painted. I’ve also painted the first stage of the upper camo. As I said in a previous post the actual colours used for the scheme are uncertain as they were painted when they arrived at the squadrons. I decided to use Insignia Blue cut with insignia white...- Geoffers

A Phantom for Halloween
Hello Chaps, Well this has been sitting on the “shelf of doom” glaring at me for far too long now so time to get it finished 🤔 The fuselage has had some photo etch added, mainly to the wheel wells and also the jet intakes. I found that the original canopy had a crack running down the centre...- Geoffers

Extractor fan bucket filter
Hi guys, Thought this might be of interest. I have been lucky enough to have had a small area to set up a spay booth/painting area. Unfortunately due to having to have it near a window to vent the booth and the layout of the room I was quite restricted for space. As you can see not a lot of...- Geoffers

Revell 1/72 P-47M Thunderbolt
Finally managed to get the priming done 😊 There are a couple of seams which will need a bit of filler and the radiator exhaust is particularly bad but I’ll use a bit of thin plasticard to cover this. Once these bits are sorted it will be onto the fun part, the camo painting. I’ve just got...- Geoffers
