    The Smythemeister's Bf109 G-10

    Lovely cockpit andy , as you say not much will be seen when Heinz is installed - BF109 cockpits were notoriously cramped . Which scheme are you going for , I like the look of the box art , the blue and white bands break up the greys nicely .

    1:48 Smer Macchi Castoldi M.C. 72

    Excellent project colin , ive often considered having a bash at this kit. Fabulous looking aircraft , although the paint job will probably be more challenging than the rigging ! As for the rigging I’d be tempted to try acupuncture needles . I know theyre not flat but youre going to struggle to...

    Repair done now , happy with it . I’m going to re do the red though as it got marked when it was very first masked up .

    Thanks neil , yes its a piece of foam , cut ever so slightly larger than the opening so it holds in and hopefully seals the opening . I use the high density type of make up remover sponges , theyre dirt cheap and easy to cut into shapes for masking .Theres some masking the undercarriage bays too.

    Airfix 1/72 Hawker Typhoon 1b

    First colour on , medium sea grey . I’m using the AK laquer paints for this , I first tried them on the Eduard Spitfire and liked how they went on .

    Eduard 1/48 Lavochkin LA7

    Repair has had its first coat of colour , theres a small light grey area to be added once the dark grey has cured . The red nose is going to get another coat too . I’m happy with how its turned out , once the silver bands have been applied and the natural steel panels round the exhaust area ...

    Nice one mick , enjoy your free time ( pretty soon you’ll be wondering how you managed to fit everything in and work full time too ! )

    Eduard 1/48 Lavochkin LA7

    After a careful sanding down of the filler it looked much better . The rear metal cowling band ( the prominent silver stripes on these and LA5s ) needed building up a little so some thin plastic card was used . Once this was blended in it was remasked and primed . It will probably need a little...

    Airfix 1/72 Hawker Typhoon 1b

    Nav lights now sanded to shape and polished and as I intend to have the sliding canopy open there's no reason why I cant get the windscreen fitted and start priming while I’m waiting for the replacement canopy to come. The screen is now glued just needing masking , the kit supplies one piece...

    If you can cast your mind back Ive done this trick before , on the MiG 21 for the group build a good few years back 🫣

    Eduard 1/48 Lavochkin LA7

    Paintwork commenced with the light blue undersides followed by the light and then dark greys. White tack was used for the masking to get a soft edge and everything looked great ……. BUT … because I’m in an out building with a tiny halogen heater and its very cold and damp outside I thought I...

    Airfix 1/72 Hawker Typhoon 1b

    Tailplanes and rudder now fitted and seams sorted , just needing a swipe of acrylic putty on one wing joint . The nav lights are moulded solid on the kit whereas the aircraft has clear lights with a coloured bulb . The lights were cut out and pieces of clear sprue were sourced , drilled and a...

    Airfix 1/72 Hawker Typhoon 1b

    Managed to get the fuselage fitted to the wing by first gluing the seat and instrument panel to the fuselage half then dry fitting them together and slotting the wing in before gluing it all together . The wing tops were then added and the whole thing is now setting . I decided against cutting...
