    The Motorbike Thread

    Here’s my current ride. I’m on the lookout for something I can take down the lanes for a bit of fun and dirt.

    ESCI 1/48 F100-D Thunderbirds

    Hi folks small update I've sprayed the wings and a few small panels in a different metal paint to give a bit of variation. I've attempted some staining on the rear panels and as it's only my second effort I'm just going to have to roll with it. I have an exhaust pigment set so might have a play...

    Completed 1/48 PM Siat Flamingo

    Hi guys n gals I’ve just completed this flamingo as it was a kit of few parts I didn’t think it worthy of a build thread as it went together very quickly without any fuss or problems. Basically I looked upon it as a painting exercise. I hope you like her as much as I do. Thanks for looking in...

    Painting and decorating all day in my mother’s kitchen. Finished about four o’clock and decided I needed a browse around the LMS. Walked out with these.

    ESCI 1/48 F100-D Thunderbirds

    Hi folks managed to get some Metal colour on the F100d after a struggle with the base coat. It's an old bottle and as spent a year in a cold damp wet shed over the winter months. Think I need to build a new mancave someday as I inherited this one from the previous owners. Not turned out to bad...

    Hurry Up and Wait! Airborne's Mini-Stug Dio!

    Sadly I was none of the above. Closest thing I've come to wearing a uniform was when I spent a day guarding an Me109 back in the days of my brief reenactment before Covid 19. Cheers John.

    1/9 Protar Ducati 916 racing.

    Very nice Honda I previously had the 500 a few years ago. I've got 3 bikes in the stash one of them being the Italeri Norton. Have you ever built that kit?

    Italeri 1/48 F/A-22 Raptor "Figure not included"

    Hi folks raided the stash this afternoon and decided on this as my next build. I'd forgot how big it was at 1/48 scale. Thanks for looking in. Cheers John.

    1/72 Armourfast Street Scene.

    Hi folks I've had this 1/72 Armourfast T34 hanging around for ages. I decided today to dirty it up a little and add a few figures and stick it on a base that I had previously but decided to bust it up abit. Hope you like it. Th

    Mitsubishi Ki-46 Dinah, 1/72, Ancient Airfix!

    I remember it well. What a shocker that was! Scary thing is I have a few old 1/24 kits from Airfix in the stash. Might dive into one of them one day.

    ESCI 1/48 F100-D Thunderbirds

    Another little hurdle crossed. Managed to loose fit the canopy. There was a gap at the front so I filled it with a thin piece of card and will be barely noticeable when painted. I have had a chuckle to myself whilst making this kit as I wondered how many minutes it would have survived before it...

    ESCI 1/48 F100-D Thunderbirds

    Hi folks small update wings all glued and filled and cleaned up and I’ve added some plastic card which although not original helped with the clean up. Thanks for looking in cheers John.

    ESCI 1/48 F100-D Thunderbirds

    Managed to get the fuselage sewn up. Put up a valiant fight as I had to stitch in four separate elements two of which were a particularly bad fit and had to be chopped n carved. I added a few plastic card tabs to aid as retainers to help. Some super glue in the problematic areas and Tamiya extra...

    Completed 1/48 Monogram Typhoon

    Yes Tim tried it once on a very old set of decals which disintegrated. I reckon they'd have broken up anyway in water. I normally start with a very small decal if they're old and use that as a rule of thumb as and what to use if anything but sometimes holding my breath and praying works. I've...

    ESCI 1/48 F100-D Thunderbirds

    Well that's the easy parts done this morning. Added some crude seatbelts from tape and wire. I suppose somethings better than nothing? Now comes the hard part fitting into the fuselage as the dry fit wasn't the easiest. Thanks for looking in cheers John.
