Airfix 1/24 Harrier Gr3
I picked up this kit the other week for £29.99. I thought it was a pretty good price! I was going to save it for one of the GBs next year but I kept going back and opening the box and finally I could resist no longer;). The box is huge and stuffed full of plastic, dominated by mahoosive...- Wendall

Oil Canning?
I really have had a serious case of modellers block lately. I'm slowly plodding on with a couple of builds but I just don't feel motivated. In order to try and inspire myself I read a lot of blogs, build threads and magazine articles. What I have found here and everywhere else are some...- Wendall

D-Day Air Assault
Been pulling my hair out lately trying to wrestle the 1/24 Spitfire into a recognisable shape and suffering a little from lost mojo. During a recent expedition to the LMS for supplies I spotted this. I picked it up, put it down and then picked it back up again. Not my normal scale but I just... -

Free French Spitfire. Help Please
Morning All, Been a busy boy lately so not much time to spend on the forum or on my big spit. I've now received my RB Sutton Harness the Airscale cockpit decals and turned metal guns so I'm ready to crack on. I didn't want to build another BBMF Spitfire so I have ordered the Decals for...- Wendall

1/24 Airfix Spitfire Mk Vb
Having caught that Big Bird Flu that seems to be going around I decided that this had to be started today. As per the destructions I've started with the engine. In my haste to get going I never took any pics of it fresh off the sprue but its pretty basic stuff so after studying lots of...- Wendall

What have I done?
So, I'm having a browse around my local model shop. They have the new 1/24 Airfix Typhoon and I'd quite like one. I reckon I can persuade SWMBO that I NEED one and that she should buy it for me for Christmas. Happy days! Chatting to the guy in the place and he's explaining how well engineered...- Wendall

Spitfire Mk Vb & Mk Vc
Morning All, Just wondering what the main differences between these 2 variants were and would it be simple to convert the new Airfix Mk Vb into a Mk Vc? I'd quite like to have a go at recreating this one. Thanks in advance for any tips Jason- Wendall

1/48 Airfix Spitfire Mk.Vb
I'm living dangerously at the moment, tackling stuff outside my comfort zone. I picked this one up in my LHS yesterday. I think it is a new release? After a quick search I cant find it posted previously so here are the box and sprue shots. The parts are very finely detailed...- Wendall

Panzer Kampfwagen II Ausf. G Completed
Here is my first crack at tank building, well any type of armour. I'm pleased with the way it turned out and it gave me the chance to put into practice some of the techniques I have read about. It's the Tamiya kit painted in Tamiya acrylics, I used Klear before I laid the decals down and the...- Wendall

Panzer Kampfwagen II Ausf. G
Hello All Being new to modelling military subjects and not wanting to ruin my Command Car build I picked this up from my LHS to test some techniques on, my thought being, if it gets ruined I can use it as a practise piece. Very few parts in the kit which I think is probably quite an old model...- Wendall

LRDG Command Cars
I would class myself as a dyed in the wool sports car builder able to bash together a reasonable looking kit. Recently however I've been looking at some stunning military models and diorama and I got to thinking 'How hard can it be!' famous last words ey. I'm not straying too far from my usual...- Wendall

Tamiya 1/24 Ferrari F40
Finally! This one really got the better of me. The engine was great fun to build but everything else was a disaster. I ended up painting it twice due to an untidy overcrowded workbench and leaky glue:mad:. Reviews of the kit that I'd read had said about fit issues at the rear end so I test...- Wendall
