    New 2026 Italeri range....

    They've FINALLY got around to releasing a 1/72 CANT Z.1007! I'm assuming it's the old Supermodel kir updated/upgraded, in the same way they did with the Z.506 and S.81 with interior details. And on the S.81 the changed a raised panel line to inscribed, which was nice, except the real job had...

    The Big Six-Oh

    Well, happy birthday to me. Now I'm sixty and customers STILL address me as 'young man'! So, as no-one else is going to, what model do I get myself as a present? Or do I just go for a PlayStation5? Probably the latter as, 'gasp', there's nothing I actually WANT at the moment. Does this...

    Modelling mishaps

    Just thinking of all the unforced, unavoidable errors you might make in any build. Not necessarily something going wrong with the kit itself, but things we, as modellers, do to ourselves. Repeatedly There's the usual: sticking your fingers together; stabbing yourself with a scalpel But how...

    Chris' AModel 1/72 Hawker Hector

    Well, this took a lot longer than I would have liked, but we're finally here. I am not displeased with the final outcome The Amodel 1/72 Hawker Hector, K8143, C Flight, 4 Squadron (AC) Farnborough, February 1937 The Hector was the last of the Hart family of light bombers, and the only one not...

    StDs 1/72 AModel Hawker Hector

    Welcome back to the studio! Now the Fox is finished I've gone all in on getting this bugger completed, which it now is Yay! So, here's the last build pics, and the finished article is over in a Completed thread I do not like AModel kits one bit, and I've got another four to do: Genet Moth...

    Pegasus 1/72 Fairey Fox Mk.I

    Oh, just for reference also, is the first Pegasus I did, back in the day, a Gloster Gauntlet Mk.I Again, no strut templates, or interior. So I cheated and made engine covers. Squadron markings are Model decal, checkers are hand brush painted. It was twelve years between starting this kit and...

    Pegasus 1/72 Fairey Fox Mk.I

    So, now for your delectation, some build pics The kit is VERY basic. It's also the only kit there is of a Mk.I. Okay, so it's a short run job, surface detail is quite nice and fine, it's a bit chunky. But it's also lacking in many details. The kit Vickers K isn't much more than a blob, so...

    Pegasus 1/72 Fairey Fox Mk.I

    In the Biplane GB I mentioned 'Biplane #4' a couple of times. Rather than post the build in progress, I'm going straight here, and not counting it as part of the GB So, the Pegasus Models Fairey Fox I, A Flight, 12 Squadron, 1929 in 1/72. This is only my second ever Pegasus kit, after a...

    28 mm Churchill Project - Hobart's Funnies II - AVRE SBG

    So, first off, the hull was weighted with 15 pennies, as that's going to be a lot of weight in front. I wanted to do the folded version just to show off the parts, and to make it easier do it in the 'travelling' form Turret already undercoated, as you can see. The attachment points are two...

    28 mm Churchill Project - Hobart's Funnies II - AVRE SBG

    Well, I'm not, strictly speaking, adding this to the D-Day GB, just going ahead as is. SBG stands for Small Box Girder, basically the deployed bridge. It was made in a towed, single-part and folding versions, the latter I'm doing here. And, as I'm not sure whether they were about for or after...

    Latest Acquisitions (2024)

    There's a rumour out there about a Spanish Civil War GB, so... But like I need an excuse to get a kit that gives me the option to do ten different licensed sub-variants of a Vickers 'E'. I'm already up to six-or-seven with Polish ones...

    Chris T's Trenchworks Churchill 'Bobbin' Type-D Gold Beach (Geoff's D-Day 80th)

    Well, I've not posted this until the 'D' itself, even though it was effectively finished before the GB even properly started. Through me not paying attention So, Churchill Mk IV (R) AVRE Carpet Layer Type-D, 81 Sqn, 6th Assault Regt. (RE), 79th Armoured Division - Trenchworks / Warlord resin...

    StD's Trenchworks / Warlord Churchill AVRE carpet Layer Type 'D' 28mm

    Okay, so, as I COMPLETELY jumped the gun on this one (the weather, moon and tide all aligned early!), I've not posted any more of this until the Day. Today. Just not at H-Hour And it's finished, so there will be a few more pics over in a completed thread Crew figures are proper proportion...

    Chris' 1/20 Tamiya Honda RA272

    Well, I got this one specially, because it was just there in the shop and it was cheap! I used to have the 1/12 version, but sold that a while back. It may be a while before i start though, what with other stuff screaming to be finished, but here's the sprue shots... The engine covers are...

    Chris' 1/72 Airfix Hurricane 'Last of the Many' G-AMAU

    Well, this took a while longer than hoped, but I've finally got a satisfactory result G-AMAU is the racer guise of 'Last of the Many', the final Hurricane to be buill, a Mk IIC. In 1951 she was sponsored by Princess Margaret to fly in the Kings Cup air race, and flown by Group captain Peter...

    Airfix 1/72 Hurricane IIC G-AMAU

    Right, wings done. The spare resin bay put in, lights in and a couple of bits of cut sprue as nav light covers And on they go. Only the U/C to do at this stage, which was cobbled from a few spare bits, and over to a finished thread! Yay.

    Airfix 1/72 Hurricane IIC G-AMAU

    So, as I have no six-pipe exhausts anywhere in the spares, I got a set of resin AML ones Painted them silver, because they look very shiny in the photos. Then noticed a prominent mould line along the centre, which was promptly removed But when they were cut from the block... Frustrating. And...

    Airfix 1/72 Hurricane IIC G-AMAU

    Okay. This has come perilously close to me walking away. The last time that happened, it was 12 years before | went back to a particularly frustrating model. Some part-started stuff has now been waiting longer but I digress... And it was all going so well All the small lettering is done...

    Airfix 1/72 Hurricane IIC G-AMAU

    If you think that's good... Sometimes I even get a mildly satisfactory outcome! Needs a bit of touch-up, but hasn't turned out too bad, all things considered. Starboard side is better than port. The portside 'U' needs work as it was originally a transfer as mask So, now I've got to add...

    StD's Trenchworks / Warlord Churchill AVRE carpet Layer Type 'D' 28mm

    Right. With the mounting plates removed, the 'Bobbin' frame is on! Add on the wading gear, and we're about done! And just for size I've left off the turret hatches for now because I'm kind of in two minds about adding a crew. Most of the vehicles operated on the beaches appear to have...
