Steve's 1/48 Eduard FW190A-5
Well at last I have managed to get some bench time in and make a start of this project. I have been working on the cockpit area and wing assembly. There are about 16 pieces including guns that make up the internals of the undercarriage bays. Some nice detail . The kit comes with an option for...- HAWKERHUNTER

Steve's 1/48 Eduard FW190A-5
Here is my offering for Alans memorial group build. The FW190 is one of my favourite fighter aircraft of WW2. I think this is also my first Eduard kit so I am looking forward to the experience. At 1/48 there are plenty of parts to play with and the kit offers 4 different camo schemes. I have...- HAWKERHUNTER

Latest Acquisitions (2024)
Santa was very kind to me this year. I was gifted a 1:48 Revell Memphis Belle and a 1:32 Revell Messerschmitt BF109 G-6. This is an Easy Click System model and just clicks together, something I have not seen before. Should be interesting and something I can do with my grandchildren.- HAWKERHUNTER

Greetings to all from Canada.......
Welcome John. Look forward to seeing some of your work. I did the Revell Lanc many years ago. For some reason, I think it was the bodge I made on filling the top seam line, it got condemmed to the shelf of doom. However during Covid Lockdown it was resurected and completed. Here is a little B &...- HAWKERHUNTER

1/32 Revell BAE Red Arrows Hawk
A little bit of progress. After giving the decals on the tail a bit of gloss varnish to help protect them I masked off the tail for the Royal Blue paint, I also had a small repair to do on the nose so that was also masked off. All went fairly well but despite my preparation I have caused a...- HAWKERHUNTER

1/32 Revell BAE Red Arrows Hawk
So I have applied four coats of Revell 31 Red Gloss enamel. No dramas, all went well. Now onto the decals. Once these are applied I will need to seal them in with varnish before masking and painting the blue onto the tail. Other than that I am getting there slowly. Dont worry about the...- HAWKERHUNTER

1/32 Revell BAE Red Arrows Hawk
So progress has been made on the Hawk after it has been sat on the shelf of doom for 4 years+. Firstly it had developed a crack along the seam on the spine. Not sure how this has happened because earlier in the build and recorded on this thread I has concerns about the joins on the two fuzz...- HAWKERHUNTER

Lighting for Photographs
I am on a mission to take better photographs of my models when completed. Lighting seems to be the problem so I have just purchased this KSHIOE Lighting kit. I was so impressed with what I received I thought I would share it in case anyone else is interested. The whole set cost just £35 from a...- HAWKERHUNTER

Steves 1/32 Revell Terracruzer and MACE missile. Lees rocket / missile group build.
Well I had hoped to be able to remove some of the bad photos above and just replace them with some better images but it wont let me edit the post. So I hate to be a bore but I spent some time today with some lighting and I think these are slightly better. I have ordered some better lighting kit...- HAWKERHUNTER

Steves 1/32 Revell Terracruzer and MACE missile. Lees rocket / missile group build.
Well I am calling this one done. I have run out of steam with it and need to move on to other models now. The model went together very well and then during the painting stage things started to go down hill. Firstly I got a lot of colour steal from the matt varnish which really took away the...- HAWKERHUNTER

Brush painting and faint/fine panel lines
Re scribing the panel lines would be an option but if you dont want to attempt that then the only other thing I can suggest is to make sure you pre shade the model well before applying your paint. This involves painting dark lines, usually black but can be any colour, over your panel lines.Then...- HAWKERHUNTER

Steve's 1/32 Revell Terracruzer with MACE missile
Some more progress on the Terracruzer. After reinforcing the tractive unit chassis with some small metal brackets and JB Weld I was able to work on it without it falling apart. The glazing was installed and the cab roof and doors fitted.Doors were not a good fit and needed some tweaking. I...- HAWKERHUNTER

Steve's 1/32 Revell Terracruzer with MACE missile
So things are not going well with the build. It seems that the plastic is very brittle and I am getting breakages that shouldn't be happening. The first thing that went wrong is the king pin holding the front axle in position snapped and the whole assembly fell onto the floor shattering the...- HAWKERHUNTER

1/32 Revell BAE Red Arrows Hawk
I will soon be resuming work on this one. I am determined to get it done before Christmas. I realise now that the reason I stalled on the build of this model is because of the highley detailed resin ejector seats. I look at them and have no clear idea of a painting sequence for getiing them...- HAWKERHUNTER

Steve's 1/32 Revell Terracruzer with MACE missile
So after my 2 days off I came back to this refreshed and patience restored. I picked up some 1mm perspex sheeting from the local model shop and decided to have a go at cutting and shaping the glass to fit within the windscreen frame rather than sticking some thin clear plastic to the inside. I...- HAWKERHUNTER

What is the best sequence for brush painting?
Peter. Are you aware of the decal solutions that we use to apply decals. I use Micro Sol and Micro set. They are invaluble when applying decals. They give you the oppoortunity to move the decal around more freely when applying and then help the decal adhear to the model and really sink into the...- HAWKERHUNTER

Steve's 1/32 Revell Terracruzer with MACE missile
Matt coat of varnish now applied together with the wheels attached. Unfortunately the matt varnish has stolen some of the colour as appears to be the norm when using matt. So consequently the vehicle and tyres are a touch lighter than when the paint was applied. All the decals have been put on...- HAWKERHUNTER

Steve's 1/32 Revell Terracruzer with MACE missile
Started with the decals today. I am assuming that this kit is old although its hard to establish if it was an original moulding from 1982 as it is marked or if its been manufactured later. The box was showing signs of serious ageing so its hard to tell just how old the decals are. Reason I...- HAWKERHUNTER
