Airfix 1/48 JU87-B1
Here is my latest completed build. It's the fairly new issue of Airfix's 1/48 JU87. I have had this one ongoing over the past couple of months and it went together pretty well. It was my first attempt with some Eduard PE seatbelts. The belts weren't too bad, but as for the miniscule parts to...- Nicko

Seriously?
Just had one of 'those' moments.... I've been working on an ICM truck in 1/35 and lost a window winder from one of the doors after it pinged off the tweezers for the second time. (Managed to find it the first time). And after a fruitless search gave it up as a lost cause. I was wearing the... -
Colours question.
Hi guys, I'll shortly be starting the build of the Revell boxing of the Hasegawa RAF Phantom FGR2. One of the finishing options is for a Wattisham based aircraft from 1992. I'm not far from Wattisham and remember seeing these planes and have also been on site there a number of times over the...- Nicko

ICM 1/35 T34 Tyagach
I know John is doing some proper modelling to turn one of these out for the Simon T group build, but here is my assembly of the ICM kit. It's my first attempt at anything in 1/35 scale in the best part of forty years. The rubber band tracks gave the most trouble being seemingly too short for the...- Nicko

I was quite pleased with how my Airfix 1/48 Spitfire Vb turned out... Nick. -
Airfix 1/48 Bedford MWD
Completed this one and quite pleased with how it turned out. Airbrushed with Vallejo model air and finished off with some oil brushers. The mudguard-mounted side lights are missing. I remember cutting them off the sprue, but then couldn't find one so left both of them off. Better...- Nicko

Airfix 1/48 dogfight double
Morning all, This is my latest completed build. The twin-pack was around 75% of the cost of buying the two planes separately. I started the 109 in early January but it was still a bit cold in my workshop for the airbrush and so it waited for paint. In the end, they both got painted more or...- Nicko

Tamiya 1/48 SS100 Tractor.
My latest completed build. Went together really nicely and I was pleased with how the basic paint job went on using some of the tips kindly given by some of you guys in one of my other threads. I think I preferred it when it looked clean and new rather than after I had meddled with it trying out...- Nicko

Not my proudest moment.... ICM 1/48 armoured radio car
This spent ages at the 'almost done' stage, mainly because I shied away from the photo etch anti-grenade cover and the rather fragile aerial arrangement which had no positive locating points. In the end I had to bite the bullet and tackle these final things, and let's just say that there's room...- Nicko

1/12 Ford GT40.
After seeing the film before Christmas I was quite interested in the fact that Trumpeter were going to be re-issuing their 1/12 kit of the car, albeit that the price was a little alarming! I noticed today that the big 'H' have changed their listing to show that the kit is being made by Magnifier...- Nicko

Tamiya 1/48 'Tilly'
My latest completed build. This was a very quick build (for me) and completed in the same month that I started it! Mind you, there was only one sprue plus the body. Airbrushed in Vallejo Light Olive with a little light dust on the wheels and a darker application on the seats and loadbed. The...- Nicko

Latest Acquisitions (2020)
Postie delivered these from the big 'H' this afternoon... Thought I'd try a canopy mask on the 109 I'm currently building after struggling a bit on the Hurricane and teed up my next couple of projects at the same time. I'm hoping the book proves useful, though whether it ends up providing... -
Show Your Work Space
I've finally been able to move off the kitchen table and into a dedicated space at last. With no kids at home and all their stuff moved out too, I have been able to claim a corner of the smallest bedroom as my own. The bench is made from part of an IKEA headboard with a 2x2 frame underneath... -
Dealing with particularly fragile parts.
Guys, A rookie question really, but what tips can you give for removal and clean up of small or fragile parts? I'm about to start my first ICM kit of a 1/48 German radio vehicle and some of the bits look somewhat fiddly. An example: Any advice gratefully received. Thanks, Nick- Nicko

Airfix 1/48 Albion Refueller
This is the fourth vehicle I have completed. Airbrushed with Vallejo Light Olive and then dirtied up with a small selection of oil brushers. I'm reasonably pleased with how it's turned out but hopefully I will get better with practice.... Nick- Nicko
