    Hi guys, so its been a while since I have been on here or done any serious modelling, had fairly rough year in 2016 continuing on from my father passing away in 2015 but this year is going to be a good one.

    Phil's 1/48 Monogram F9F-5p Panther

Voted for in a poll by your good selves the F9F-5P is the late reconnaissance version of Grummans first jet which was also the one of the Navy's first successful carrier based jets. 36 were built and because they were completely...

    Phils' 1/48 Eduard Fw190 D9 "Red 1"

    Hi guys, Well I have finally finished the D9 (my forth build), a little later than expected but I have been extremely busy with work and just life in general. It had some fit issues which I was warned about and the fuselage needed some unnerving clamping and slow tightening whilst gluing (with...

    What paints for personnel?

    So in the pipeline is some Luftwaffe personnel to paint and maybe some RAF a little later down the line. I use Vallejo model air and mr hobby at the mo but does anyone have any suggestions for figure painting? Maybe even sets? I'll be getting them from John more than likely. Thanks in...

    Expensive nozzles!

    Hi all So I have just sheared my first 0.3 nozzle for my Iwata Hp-ch, bummer! What's worse is I have just had to shell out £20 odd for a new 0.3 nozzle! Has anyone got any idea where I can get the original iwatas cheaper or has anyone had any experience with third party nozzles? Cheers...

    Best artificial grass help

    Hi guys I'm looking to make a simple base for photographing my planes on going forward. I have seen some of you guys using a really realistic grass (matting I take it). Can someone point me in the direction of a good quality grass matting, I see one from a company called Javis and it was a...

    Phil's Korean War SIG - You Choose

    Hi All, So I feel as though I really want to get involved in a group build and I've threatened to Polux that I might do it soon! I feel as though I've learnt enough over the best part of a year in the hobby to give it a fair crack so I thought I might give you guys the choice of what I'll...

    Phil's 1/48 Dragon Me262 A-1a/u4

    This is Dragons 1/48 Dragon Me262 A-1a/U4. There was only two of these prototypes built and was designed as a destroyer/bomber, the stand out feature was its mk214 50mm anti tank cannon which I believe didn't work out too well due to its constant jamming in flight. The kit itself was a bit of...

    Phil's 1/48 Hobbyboss Wildcat FM2 (Martlet Mk VI mod)

    So I'm calling this one finished and it's my second finished model since I was a kid. It should have been a Me262 but for waiting for a canopy (which I now have). I purchased a Sword 1/48 Wildcat/Martlet for next to nothing which had a lot missing so I got hold of the FM2 kit on ebay. All...

    Phil's Hobbyboss 1/48 Martlet MK VI

    Hi all, So while I'm waiting for my me262 canopy to turn up from dragon (sometime before I die I hope), I've decided to start work on turning hobbyboss' 1/48 wildcat FM2 into a Martlet MK VI. It's a nicely detailed kit with a reasonably small amount of parts so should be a decent turnaround...

    Rivet tool needed

    Hi guys another quick one, I need to get a rivet tool (wheel type) in before I start the next build. I've seen john has the trumpeter and the rivet-r mini which looks like it might be better suited to smaller models. I work in 1/48, would love your guys opinions and recommendations please...

    Canopies... Arghhhhhhh!

    Right! I know this is only my second model but I'm at the same point and having trouble. Canopies! Used a mask that came with the kit this time and it's left a nasty sticky gluey residue. I also get paint peel no matter how careful I am. Someone please point me in the direction of a...

    Vallejo primer

    My goodness me! I have had some problems with my Vallejo primer just recently but have just had a little session after initially priming my me262 doing another sanding and filling session. I feel that I had cleaned it ok since my last session and no different to usual but if I had spent...

    The loss of a great man

    Hi guys I've had a few days to think about whether I wanted to post something on here or not and it still seems a bit weird doing it. The main reason is because this forum has helped since the tragic loss of my father on Tuesday night, just during the quiet down times or when I've not been...

    So I have a couple of new 1/48s for the stash. One is the rather battered sword GM fm2 wildcat/martlet. I have noticed on closer inspection that I have a upper piece of wing a engine and nose cone missing. My question is if I can source a 1/48 hobby boss fm2 wildcat for example, can I mix and...
