    Gary's 1/72 Tamiya F-16 CJ Block 50

    As I am going to be using the Kelik 3D decals, my first task was to remove the raised cockpit details, add the joystick and throttle and paint this assembly. After that it was a simple matter to add the decals, gluing them in place with some thinned PVA

    Gary's 1/72 Tamiya F-16 CJ Block 50

    After finishing the Academy F18D I thought I would now build the Tamiya 1/72 F-16CJ. I am going to build it straight from the box with the exception of using Kelik 3D decals for the cockpit and painting it the newer 2 colour scheme used on F16's rather than the 3 colour one shown in the...

    Completed 1/72 Academy F18D

    A few photos from my recently completed F18D. As usual hand painted using Vallejo Model Air acrylics, Vallejo gloss and matt varnish and weathered using Flory Models weathering wash. Not sure I’m 100% happy with it but it looks ok on the photos! The kit was reasonable but had a few fit...

    Brush painting and faint/fine panel lines

    I'm in the middle of building the Hasegawa 1/72 Eurofighter Typhoon. It's a wonderful kit, engineered to perfection and is going together really well. But the panel lines are very fine and faint. I'm brush painting the model and am worried that the shallow panel lines will loose some depth...

    Brush painting matt while for u/c bay and landing gear

    Has anyone got some advice for the best way to brush paint matt while acrylic for undercarriage bay, landing gear etc? In order to get a good white finish I'm having to use at least 4 coats of thinned paint, but I think that in doing so I am loosing some detail under the paint on some parts...

    Oldie returning to the hobby after nearly 30 years!

    Hello everyone! I’m returning to the hobby after a break of around 30 years having been reinspired by my brother-in-law who has also got bitten by the bug to build. It’s interesting to see how much has changed in the intervening years and how much has remained the same. I’m mainly interested in...
