    Jambo's 1/72 Airfix Westland Whirlwind 1 build

    OK, a little progress over the weekend: Ladies and gentlemen I present you with, "the office" in all its glory and intricate detail: I decided to paint the instrument panel black to show willing, I may put some small grey spots on there later to try and add a little detail. It's a touch...

    Jambo's 1/72 Airfix Westland Whirlwind 1 build

    So, rolling my sleeves up to get stuck into the starter kit build with an Ebay special, the Westland Whirlwind. Scalemates suggests this is a tooling from the late 70's, but the box is likely to be from the last 10 years so the paint has a hope of being as good as it ever was. Unboxing...

    Peterairfix's Starter set Challenge GB. Chat

    Right I'm a little late but found myself on Ebay after seeing this thread and saw this kit. Notes in advance: 1) I have a terrible track record for finishing models the last couple of years, life's a little busy, so the idea of just doing one as a starter set appeals as I can't try to over...

    Jambo's Airfix Bf109E-4 1/72

    OK, So, popped along to hobbycraft and had a little look through. I considered the starter kit for the BF109E-3 with paints, but the E-4 box kit looked like it would have a little bit more detail called out for paint as it wasn't trying to hold the whole thing down to 4 colours, and I thought...

    Jambo's Tamiya Lotus Type 78 1:20

    When I saw this GB coming up I decided to have a scout about and settled on this Tamiya kit, the Lotus 78. This is the later edition of the kit which includes some PE parts which I've not used before. While I'm sure there will be some challenges I'm hoping the kit will go together fairly easily...

    Jambo's Matchbox Beaufighter MK-X 1/72

    Having a quick skulk around eBay I found this kit and quite liked the idea of it, having just got back from holiday the "fragile" box has been forced through the letterbox, saving me a trip to the post office. Thankfully it seems to have survived intact! Scale Mates has it at ~1974 from the...

    Jambo's Airfix Mitsubishi Ki-46 II 'Dinah' 1/72

    Well I quite fancied this group build, as I thought it sounded like fun for everyone to be building kits at the frugal end of the scale. Turning up at the local model shop there were plenty of kits to choose from, but I decided I didn't fancy a European theatre single engine WWII plane for some...

    Tamiya RGB 500 1/12

    Following on from my introduction thread, I thought I'd throw up a thread on my progress on my first proper kit in rather a long time. I built a 1/72 Gloucester Gladiator starter kit last year but this is all pretty much starting again after a break of about 17 years. So I decided to have a...
