    1/32 Hasegawa Messerschmitt Me 163B KOMET

    Hi everyone thought I'd pop another lid and I chose this as my next victim. Nice little kit with just 59 parts so should go together quickly I hope. It will probably take longer to paint. Thanks for looking in and any comments left. Stay safe. Cheers John

    Grumman F6F-5 'Hellcat' Trumpeter 1/32 Scale

    Im looking after my mat Ron cause it's new and BIG! But I may lapse back into my old ways if I neglect to wipe up those little spills that occur or start using it as wet palette again. Watching your build Steve and its coming along very nicely.

    Completed Revell 1/48 Aggressor

    Hi Chris in answer to your question my honest answer is I don't know. I did watch a video on you tube which talked about the aggressor and the tiger but I obviously wasn't giving it enough attention at the time.I do have a tiger in the stash somewhere so I imagine I'll be watching the videos...

    Completed Revell 1/48 Aggressor

    Hi folks just completed the Revell Aggressor a £12 buy from under the table at one of the shows I've attended in the past. I really like the look of this aircraft which as some nice lines and symmetry to it also love the camo schemes. I think I'll be on the lookout for an upmarket version in a...

    Paint Shaker.

    My simple Tamiya paint attachment works very well just add a ball bearing and a little thinner attached to my drill via the modified screw top. Forward/ reverse for about 30 secs and it's airbrush ready.

    Varnishes on metal finish.

    Hi everyone. Does anyone have any recommendations for varnish on a metal finish? I've noticed the shine gets knocked back a little when applying a varnish. I've tried a few different varnishes but they all seem to have the same effect. Is this the "norm" and just something you have to accept...

    Bucket of Water

    Hi folks after watching a few YouTube videos recently I noticed some of them were using a bucket of water to flush their airbrushes out. Well I thought I'd give it a go and what a innovation I've found it to be. Quicker paint changes and less problems with blocking etc and my airbrush always...

    Hobby Boss 1/72 P-47 Thunderbolt "Razorback"

    Hi folks a little bit of progress on this today in between other things. I've managed to get some Vallejo metal colour Aluminium sprayed. I've had my black gloss base coat for some time and it was a little sludgy so I attached it to my drill and give it a good spin for a few minutes and ran the...

    Completed Tamiya 1/48 Spitfire.

    Hi folks another great kit from Tamiya highly recommended. Nice kit with good details and fitted really well. But I had a lot of problems with it all of my own making to be honest. I was getting scared to pick it up at one stage. To kind of put into prospective for those that knew him I'd liken...
