    Bf 109 G-2 (Trumpeter 1/24)

    Its made by the same company who make MicroSol and Micro Set and apparantly works well with them. I bought some for use on my vintage Stuka but as it turned out I never had to use it . Check out one of the Youtube videos though, it does look very impressive.

    Knowing/Learning when to stop!

    When you do one job on the model to try and tweak it and mess it up creating more work for yourself. Then you realise that your patience for the model is running out and you wished you had just left it as it was. Thats when its time to call it done and move on.

    SCRATCHBUILT CANNON

    To scratch build something of that quality, you certainly have some incredible skill. Fantastic result.

    Another polishing question.....

    I am no expert on this subject but from my own experience I have to agree with the advice Andy has given. I have just used these polishing compounds for the first time. I applied several coats of varnish onto a paint coat that wasnt perfect. When fully cured the varnish buffed up as smooth as...

    Looking good Andy. Will you be leaving some of the cowling off to expose that lovely engine detail?

    Boatmans 1/200 scale USS HORNET CV8 BUILD AN LIGHTS for the Doolittle raid on japan

    That is a shame Chris. Did you purchase the PE as an extra or does it come with the model. I just thought that if it was an extra then you could just remove it and revert back to the standard plastic parts provided in the kit.

    Dont stress yourself Chris. I hate PE at the best of times. Whatever you do just keep the build enjoyable.

    Flying scotsman

    I would certainly be tempted to have a go at a larger loco. As far as I am aware Airfix no longer manufacture any plastic kit locos. The OO stuff was discontinued in the 80s. OO gauge would always be a good seller as they can be a cheap and effective way to boost a OO gauge model railway. !/35...
