Trumpeter 1/32 Grumman Wildcat early version
Hi All Well I couldn't keep away so here's my next build. As this is an early version it has a very loud paint scheme which involves a N.M.F on the underwing and the fuselage. I've not attempted a N.M.F before so this should be interesting. The Kit is a 2003 tooling but all looks good as per...- Vaughan

FINISHED HobbyBoss Sturmovik Il-2
Hi All Well at last this Russian bird is complete. As I said in my thread build that HobbyBoss had over complicated things which did make construction difficult in places but I did get there in the end. I opted for the Russian Green version but maybe next time I will have a go at the winter...- Vaughan

Painting White Metal Parts
Hi All I've tried to spray the white metal under carriage of the Sturmovik that I'm building. I used Vallejo model air paint which seems to go on fine but it doesn't matter how long you leave the paint to cure when handled the paint just rubs off. The White metal has been cleaned to remove all...- Vaughan

Mig3 meltdown
Hi all I was out for the whole day yesterday and on returning at 1.30 in the early hours of the morning I had a quick peep into the garden room to look at the Sturmovik I'm building at the moment. I looked up at the shelf that my planes are displayed on and to my horror the Mig3 starboard... -
Finished Curtis Warhawk P40E Aleutian Tiger(without the tiger)
Hi All Here are the images of the finished Warhawk. All in all a good build with just a few niggles those being the tail section being separate, the gun barrels on the leading edge and the over thick canopy( I chose the closed canopy option).

How do you illuminate you work station?
Following on from how messy is your workstation?. I'm using two magnifying lamps one of which I picked up yesterday. Obviously you need as much light as possible, so how do you solve this problem. Vaughan -
How messy is your Workstaion?
As the title suggests what is the state of your workstation? Mine goes from being tidy, after I've finished a model, to total chaos with pots and tubs all over the place. I seem to make a habit of misplacing things on a regular basis even though they've been put in a pot for safe keeping. Saying... -
Trumpeter 1/32 Mig3

Masking Fuselage Bands
Has anyone got some tips on masking fuselage bands. I've already sprayed the area in white but now need to mask it off so I can spray the camo and underside . Obviously the cross section of the fuselage is not a perfect cylinder in cross section as is the case on the stuka I'm building. Not only...- Vaughan

Paint Storage Solutions
I used to keep my paints in a medium sized sandwich box but got fed up with going through them all to find the right one. So I took a trip to my local Range store and purchased a cheap picture frame only £4.99 with an MDF back board. I also bought an 'L' shaped piece of battening cut it to size...
