    Airfix 1/48 Hawker Hurricane

    A very gracious gift from Andy @The Smythe Meister, cheers mate Not too much detail as it seems to be the 2013 boxing of this kit before it's recent re-tool..as such it's adorned with loads of flash,(every part so far has had an encounter with the sanding pads,) and raised panel lines...(might...

    1/12 Tamiya 240Z Fairlady

    Excellent looking build so far Ken, this takes me right back to when my older brother bought a 'wrecked' 240z and over the next year rebuilt it from the ground up, it looked stunning when he'd finished, We spent many a happy day showing the local chav's in their ford sierra sapphires just how...

    1/35 Meng 'Toyota Hi-lux' Libyan Technical pick up with ZPU-1 Anti Aircraft Cannon..

    Well at the risk of boring everybody to death with this build, The base got a repaint due to it 'not looking right', and I've finally finished the figure I decided to add to it...so I'm sticking a fork in it and calling it done..(for the second time..lol) 'Larry the libyan gets his first...

    I can't find it...

    Not sure if this helps, but when I built the bandai C3PO, (which had gold coloured plating on the plastic) I ended up using some 'Oven Pride' cleaner from our local B&M, this stripped the plating back to bare plastic in a few hours, and was totally safe to use on plastic.

    Pacific Carrier/Aircraft chat thread.

    Andy, I had that in my basket on the rainforest site, but held off whilst watching the recent Midway film, lolz that'll teach me to strike whilst the iron is hot and not leave things hanging..... So seeing as I can't get hold of an SDB-3 (like the one Richard Best flew) on said site, (got a...

    A dig through the stash..(which is in need of some serious replen) and I've found this... it's probably from when i started to get into building Gundams... so unless something else pops up, I'll be throwing some glue and paint at this..but I''l be doing it a bit more beat up than a pristine...

    1/35 Meng 'Toyota Hi-lux' Libyan Technical pick up with ZPU-1 Anti Aircraft Cannon..

    Thanks for the idea @minitnkr, gonna have a ponder about it.. :thumb2: been back to the bench today, just to start the finishing bits.... had a play with a bit of 'dust'..and came up with an idea for fastening the flag down.. I'm not sure the 'dusty' side windows portray a half opened window...

    1/35 Meng 'Toyota Hi-lux' Libyan Technical pick up with ZPU-1 Anti Aircraft Cannon..

    I might have a go at straightening the bent bit Andy, although I have found a picture of an Israeli version of this cannon with no sight unit, hmmmmm, any how a few pics of the actual Pickup. Not sure about actually using the base it's on unless I can come up with a realistic way way to change...

    1/35 Meng 'Toyota Hi-lux' Libyan Technical pick up with ZPU-1 Anti Aircraft Cannon..

    So After my Israeli M6 build I was at a loss as to what to build next, maybe a little bit of burn out.....so upon sifting through the stash I spotted a quick mojo booster....the Meng Toyota pickup truck I bought a few months ago...so I set to work with what I thought would be nothing more than a...

    David Vs Goliath... Meng 1/35 6B Magach

    Thanks to each and everyone of you, I'm pleased you like the outcome... I've really enjoyed building this despite it taking soo long...(most of which was due to me contemplating with how to pull it all together.), and I'd highly recommend this kit to anybody, it's a bit more expensive than some...

    David Vs Goliath... Meng 1/35 6B Magach

    After nearly six months working on this I'm sticking a fork in it and calling it done...there are a couple of items I could keep plugging at to finish better, but at what point do you say 'that's it.. no more?'..... It's the Meng 6B Magach, built literally out of the box with just a couple of...
