Does anybody know of, or ever seen a model of the prototype 'English Electric Lightning P.1 ?, maybe even a resin replacement set for the airfix lightning...? I once saw an image of one used in a Dan Dare storyline back when I was a kid, and always wanted to build the same aircraft .. (The... -

Palestinian boy throwing rocks
Had a chance to throw a bit of paint at him... He does needs a bit more work when he's dried off, maybe a contrasting image on his shirt, highlights, and maybe a repaint of his flesh tones....

Info needed.... M.2 (Ma Deuce) .50 Cal Machine gun
Gents does anybody know if the carrying handle on the .50 cal machine gun normally rests downwards or upwards, I'm working my way through the Meng Magach m6 and the 'ranging gun' above the main gun seems to have the handle pointing / resting 'upwards' and other images I've found seem to have it...- langy71

Chris' ICM 1/48 Spitfire Mk.IX
After a weeks break from this..(bloody work), the decals are finally on, I must say that despite seeing various comments around the web about ICM's decals being a pig to work with, I found them the easiest decals I've ever done, they might be a tad thick, but they settle down beautifully with...- langy71

Group Build badges / Tags.
Just wondering if there is a way that we could add some kind of 'badge' / tag to reflect the group builds we participate in, onto the bottom of our profiles.. the thought behind this is that it would be seen by other members and may influence more members to join in and become more active on the... -
Chris' ICM 1/48 Spitfire Mk.IX
And a few more hours at the bench and we have some invasion stripes....I'm not 100% happy with them, the measurements might be a bit off in places, and I've overdone the chipping in some places.....nothing that a quick touch up wont cure, I figure they'll look better after the weathering that's...- langy71
