    My lacking of posts

    Evening guys, I'm not one to bleat on,but I thought it best to explain why I haven't been commenting on the site much recently. I've been a self employed telemetry engineer for SWW for 22 years now, however,the other Thursday I was on site, doing a job,and got a phone call saying "project is now...

    Andy's 1:48 ICM HE 111

    Well now I understand the "P tube"!! ;) Anyway, been working on the two engines,and I have to say they are amazingly well detailed,and, despite being a bit fiddly at times,go together very nicely :thumb2:,the instructions... ... .... Then the final stages... That's them built up,and under...

    .... it's been a nightmare of a week work wise, but got some etch and detail painting underway,also tried to make it a little dirty and "scuffed"... ... Lots more tiny and fiddly stuff to go in there yet,and on the fuselage halves.For now though, I'm going to give my eyes a rest and skip on...

    Which Glue,

    Hi guys, I'm putting some tiny bits of etch together for my 111,I glued some bits together with Locktite last night, picked it up just now... And it fell apart... Anyone suggest a glue that will actually keep it stuck please?!! Any thoughts much appreciated :thumb2:

    .... More progress.. Some basic painting going on,.. Then .... ... Some tiny,TINY, bits for the M.G. Barrels there,I also decided to put the support brackets for the rack for the ammo tubs on first..... we'll see how that works out eh!! ... And some "glass" going in there :)

    Latest Acquisitions (2024)

    Well, nothing very exciting, but seeing as there's so much "glass" in my current 111 build,I wanted to make sure it went in cleanly, without frosting. I've tried PVA,Revell Contacta Clear and AK Crystal Magic.... and not been happy with any of them :disappointed2:,then i saw Phil Flory using...

    Yep, just when you thought you'd got rid of me... I'm back with another Wingy build :astonished:!! Another of my favourite WW2 German planes, always loved the look of the 111,in all of it's regalia,(with that in mind, I've not decided wether to do the bomber or Torpedo Bomber version yet...

    Thanks for all of your positive comments Guys,much appreciated :) This kit and I simply have just not got on!! Don't really know why, it's very nicely detailed, but I've just found it incredibly frustrating!! Anyway, I'm now calling it "done".... certainly not my best effort,(that's an...

    Done a bit more,had some overspray going on, but tried to correct it somewhat.., here we are at the moment.. ...the pilot there... haven't wrecked him yet!! Next the main stuff... ... .. so there you go,it needs some tidying up, but considering the build problems,I'd say it's coming out...

    Evening guys, been doing bits to this as the weeks allow,(work,and trying to get my tax returns done is killing it a bit!!:loudly-crying:,anywho... The Luftwaffe Light Blue gone on the underside,and then masked for the base camo... Which is now applied,then masked for the darker green.. What...

    Hi Chaps, As I'm approaching the decaling stage of my 109 I'm reminded of some deliberation about them on the site a while ago.Can't remember exactly when,or what the outcome was. I've seen a review of them by Peter Oxley on YouTube,and he found them awful, anyone have some views or advice on...

    What's on the Bench 2024

    Well,as you may well know, I've been tinkering with an old 1/48 Jaguar behind the scenes. This evening,I masked up the canopy and set it on the stand, ready for priming. :smiling3: ...then,when I put it on the bench,in line with my other on going builds,(a Bf 109,and a WW1 Albatross),it dawned...

    ..... done a bit more... Looks sloppy there, but not that bad in reality.. ... So we're under way... Kinda!! ;)

    The Smythemeister's Albatros D.III

    .... Cont'd.... Well,after all that yap,I guess I should put a little progress! Doesn't look much, but here's the cockpit stuff together.... It's quite nicely done and went together well :) I have actually painted it up and glued the two halves together,but I can't find the pictures I took :(...

    Andy's 1/48 Bf 109

    Ok,so ere be some progress pics.. So there's Otto on his position,and I must admit they he fits PERFECTLY, even his hand pretty much grasps the joy stick. :) ... Unfortunately, that's as good as it gets,the best part of this build has been the AM pilot!! :( It's been a real struggle getting...

    The Smythemeister's Albatros D.III

    Well then,I probably shouldn't be doing this,however,in for a penny... That's it!! My first ever Bi Plane,and WW1 Plane too!!... It's VERY poor detail wise,well,compared to my recent builds anyway,but I'll give it a go :) ... The paint scheme will certainly be a challenge,(no full decal set...
