    Under a tenner, Eduard 1/72 Hellcat "Death and Destruction"

    Marked as done. Some problems with decal placement and I managed to lose the pitot tube :( Always the smallest bit that jumps!

    How does a build make it to the completed builds section?

    As the question says, do I move it (if so how?) or does it happen via moderator magic?

    Neil's Airfix 1/72 Hurricane

    Well I thought I'd start another while I wait for some replacement transfers for the F5 - which is looking good, just naked. Anyway, I had primed the sprues with a rattle can before January with this but had done nothing else until this weekend so I think it may be OK. Put the office in and...

    Decal disaster

    I had a disaster with some decals last night - for the record, Eduard decals are a LOT thinner than Airfix ones! - suffice to say I managed to mangle two major decals. I have ordered a set of replacement ones from Hannants, but I already have bigger decals down and dried on so I need to get them...

    Airfix B24-Liberator

    Not a good effort I'm afraid, there are some howling errors, Painting is all brush work, mistakes are legion. It is an old kit and it shows, the front undercarriage doors are just wrong if you want them raised and a valuable lesson on this one would be to do the decals on the tail fins before...

    carrier decking

    So I had an inspired brainwave the other day - mainly inspired by one of the damn thing falling on me - I have 2 (I'm sure there was a reason at the time) baseboards for kitchen units in my garage - about 9 foot long and not being used at all now or in the future. These will make rather decent...

    First suggestion for 2016 calendar :)

    I commented on this thread: http://www.scale-models.co.uk/community/threads/the-secret-weapon.29655/ that it would be an idea for a GB, so posting it here so it doesn't get lost. However, one point I just found is that it is 1/32 so adding ordnance to it might not be so simple as just looking...

    Interesting article on interior colours of US WW2 aircraft

    So I was looking to find the colour for my group build F6 and found this, it is pretty old (2004) so it may be old hat here what with me being only a relatively noob I haven't read all the older articles (shame on me, I know) and found this...

    Emhar 1/72 Mk IV "Female"

    OK, Criticism/suggestions welcome. I never make vehicles, even when I started out as a nipper I did planes and the odd boat. I think I started one vehicle and made such a hash I never did another. Anyway, here are some pics: Anyway, this is pretty simple except the top...

    Neils F6F-5 Hellcat 1/72

    This will be my first GB - be gentle! Eduard 1/72, not sure of the exact price but from SMS and about £8.50. Typical nice Eduard spues and detail, I really like their kits.

    Airfix Advent Calendar

    Airfix.com have an advent calendar which I only just found today annoyingly, as yesterday you could enter a competition just by entering email address to win a 1/24 Typhoon - not too shabby for an email address and on the 1st was a £100 voucher for the site. Looks like it will be worth keeping...

    Starter Tank

    Hello, It's my birthday soon so my wife insists on buying me something (despite me buying some kits as an early birthday present earlier in the year) but I always do and always have done aircraft. I want to do a tank, in particular a newer one rather than an older one so a Challenger/2 or...

    Materials to display flying aircraft

    I am finishing a B24 but I also have a couple of others I want to display flying rather than landed. I found a handy page showing a neat technique for doing so using some square or rounded evergreen plastic tubing and then inserting brass square or round tubes in the plastic tube (link is here)...

    Airfix B24 Nosegear

    Hello, I am making this at the moment and wanted to put it on a stand wheels up, but either I am missing a bit or the nosegear just cannot be displayed up. Oh it goes in OK, but the wheel bay flaps are attached in such a way I cannot figure out how the end bulkheads they connect to will not...

    Decal disaster

    I made a mess of some decals on my 1/48 Tamiya Spitfire, now some I can sort of live with, but the roundels on the side and one of the AGM (which Barry kindly sent me and then I messed up) are just horribly positioned. They look very bad. I was thinking I can either get an after market set...

    Yellow leading edges on 1/48 Tamiya Spitfire

    Hello, So I made a bodge of my first attempt (too hasty I think and I wasn't wearing my glasses), I've cleaned that out but I was wondering if anyone has any tips for getting a nice clean yellow edge? I can just use some tamiya masking tape, but I was wondering if it is worth creating a...

    Anyone making the Eduard "Good Morning Da Nang" F4C?

    Just being nosy, I ordered a few masks and some PE parts for on-going models and saw their new 2014 catalog, and the model I always made more of as a kid was an F4. And they have this stunning limited edition for this year. So just wondered has anyone got it, getting it and under construction...

    Emhar Mv IV Female tank

    My other half bought me this for Christmas - I said surprise me - so she did. I have never ever done a tank, planes, some ships, and a few vehicles but I normally stay clear of them. So I'm dead-chuffed but a little baffled on the colour schemes, there seem to be 4 of them, with the British in...
