Nick's ICM 1/48 U2
Pushing things along a little bit, I had a try at thinning the fin braces for the bombs... Then I put the undercarriage assembly together and set it to dry resting roughly in place ready to be painted separately later... After that was sorted, I shot some primer on it... And got that...- Nicko

Nick's Airfix 1/35 WWII British Army 30-CWT Truck
I have made some more modest progress. Got a little more work done in the cab before buttoning it up..... Managed to break one of the mirrors and bodged a repair with some fuse wire.... Glazed and masked the cab and now have the whole lot base-coated..... Next job will be to attempt...- Nicko

Nick's ICM 1/48 U2
Not exactly stellar progress even by my standards, but I have done a bit on this.... The very nice Quinta seatbelts added: The fuselage glued up - needed a bit of help at the very narrow attachment between the cockpits: And I have got the lower main wing and nose fitted. There will need...- Nicko

Nick's ICM 1/48 U2
Got a bit more stuck into this one and here's where I'm at: Each of the seats is made up of six parts. They build up nicely, but I'll need to take care once they are glued onto the cockpit floor... After these and the powerplant we assembled I started the painting. Interior was done with...- Nicko

Nick's Airfix 1/35 WWII British Army 30-CWT Truck
A little more progress on this one. The minimal photo-etch was tackled before painting could start.... Then it was on with some of the wet stuff. After a coat of Mr Surfacer 1500, the tyres got a bit of Tamiya Rubber Black and the main base colour was applied using MRP Light Stone, which...- Nicko

Nick's ICM 1/48 U2
Ok, its not a lot, but I have made a start. There are a couple of ejector marks that are within the cockpit area. They might very well not be seen, but I will see if I can disguise them a bit. I've given the fuselage halves a bit of a clean up and removed the seam line from the (presumably...- Nicko

Nick's Airfix 1/35 WWII British Army 30-CWT Truck
Well, apologies for the lack of updates, but I've had a couple of busy weekends with the family. Things have moved forward a little however and after dealing (hopefully) with a few more ejector marks, I have enough reasonable sized lumps to start painting. Back at work for a few days now, but...- Nicko

Nick's ICM 1/48 U2
Thanks Guys. The mouldings look very nice as do the Quinta extras. Bear with me though. Bench time non existent this weekend as we have the Grandkids. Last weekend we visited out Daughter up North so it was ruled out then as well. Can't complain though, the weather is lovely for October...- Nicko

The Motorbike Thread
It was just too nice today not to get out on the bike so I took a ride out to the memorial for RAF Bradwell Bay. This is really out in the sticks (for Essex) and some lovely riding roads. Nick.- Nicko

Nick's ICM 1/48 U2
OK, here's my entry for this Group Build and thank you to Karl and Andrew for getting it up and running and hosting. I will be hoping to get started in the next week or so..... This is a 2019 boxing of a 2014 tooling by ICM so hopefully it will go together nicely. Here are the plastic...- Nicko

Spots on the Internet (2023)
On the Meng Facebook page, available December, a 1/9 BMW R1250GS ADV..... Length 253mm so it'll be quite an imposing model. I'll be interested to see how they've moulded the wheels with the spokes terminating on the outside edge of the rim. Nick -
Nick's Airfix 1/35 WWII British Army 30-CWT Truck
Well, with all the extra work the rest of you are putting into this Group Build, my basic out of the box build is looking just that! However, progress has been made and its surprising how quickly the parts are disappearing from the box. Chassis is all built up now and I've started looking at the...- Nicko

Latest Acquisitions (2023)
I don't usually post in this thread, but this may amuse you.... Wife went out for lunch with a couple of her older siblings and one gave her this, which he had picked up at a boot sale as "I know Nick does models". "He put it in the boot of my car for me and my hands were black by the time I... -

And with a couple of other little projects out of the way, this has finally made it on to the bench and we are making a start.... Ejector pin marks filled with Mr Surfacer 500 and a few small parts glued together. Nick- Nicko

Revell 1/144 US Landing Ship Medium
Finally got this one finished. Started it in January 2022 after getting it as a Christmas present from my daughter. I struggled a bit, not having built a floaty thing for about 45 years or more and if it hadn't been a present I'm sure it wouldn't be done now and may even have ended up in the...- Nicko

Tamiya 1/12 Suzuki Katana 1100
Well, this kit holds the title of having spent longest in my stash, that is, not counting the thirty or so really old kits that have travelled with me from the time before all that adult stuff. I bought it on a trip to Preston from the now defunct Transport Models whilst on a trip to visit my...- Nicko

Bird Watching a Relaxing Hobby
Chris @boatman look away now! Ok, not a bird but a fair sized hornet decided to inspect the 'model room' (as my wife calls it). Managed to put a glass over it and then slid an a4 cutting mat underneath and help it back out the window. Had quite a few in this year.... Nick- Nicko

Airfix 1/32 Bond Bug
Bit of a nostalgia build, this one. I remember my father taking me to the motorcycle show in London when I was about nine and they had one of these on a stand that had been completely sectioned down the middle. Anyway, when Airfix announced that they were re-issuing the kit for the first time...- Nicko
