    courtesy car

    I picked up my new car on Friday, but so I didn’t have to tax my old car for 1 day I took it in the day before, they gave me a courtesy car, a £120k Porsche Taycan GTS 0-60 in 2.8 seconds unfortunately I didn’t get chance to try that but what a car to drive.

    1/8 Lotus 72D - 1972 British GP Pocher

    I did a little bit more, I’m stuck with putting the pipes on, someone said put them in warm water but that’s not really helped, it’s still on my desk so not back in the box yet :)

    Bit of a teaser, I have them in stock but can't sell them or tell people what it is, Airfix has a new mould kit, it will be announced and ready for sale on the 10th Nov.

    1/8 Lotus 72D - 1972 British GP Pocher

    I’m struggling with the screws for this, they either don‘t fit flush or I just can’t tighten them up, some of the hole alignment is off which is pretty bad for such an expensive kit, anyway not done much today, it’s been a busy day.

    1/8 Lotus 72D - 1972 British GP Pocher

    A little bit more done, I could do with an extra pair of hands, some of the screws are a bit fiddly.

    1/8 Lotus 72D - 1972 British GP Pocher

    This arrived last week but I was on holiday, got back today and opened the box, full of metal and plastic, 477 to be precise with a retail of £789 that works out at £1.65 per piece. I‘m only at home this week then off again for another 5 weeks, but I’m going to make a start on it. First bit done

    1/35 US AH-64E Apache Guardian Attack Helicopter Takom 02602

    Made a few modifications and it turned in to a BMW MP4 :smiling5: just a few decals left to put on. I decided to put the Apache back in the box, it’s a winter project, I’m away a lot during the summer and want to dedicate time to it.

    What flew over your house (yesterday)

    Only had my phone on me so not brilliant pictures, I’m guessing it’s a C130? and the day before we had 2 Typhoons dog fighting, but too high up to take pictures.

    1/32 Supermarine Spitfire Mk I (Mid) K32001 Kotare

    Not quite a review, more like what's in the box, after long delays the Kotare Spitfire has just arrived, I've been waiting for this since it was announced, I might even put the Apache to one side and start this one. Not a lot of parts to the kit, but then again more Spitfire kits don't, the...

    Help with airbrush not spraying

    I sold an Ammo Airviper airbrush and the customer said it didn’t work, so I got it back off him and tried it myself, it’s not working right, I’ve given it a full clean in the sonic cleaner and when I press the trigger air comes out but no liquid (water for testing) the only way I can get it to...

    1/35 US AH-64E Apache Guardian Attack Helicopter Takom 02602

    Almost finished the cockpit, although as it’s mostly black it looks a bit bland, one of the tiny pieces on the top ”pinged” and vanished :(

    1/35 US AH-64E Apache Guardian Attack Helicopter Takom 02602

    1/35 US AH-64E Apache Guardian Attack Helicopter Takom 02602

    Hmmm I think I’ve taken on way above my skill set, don’t expect this to be a quick build, summer is almost here and the little fishes will be calling me :cool: I can‘t see the colour scheme be too taxing, they only reference 4 colours, I’ve also got the Red Fox detail set to go with it.
