    1/48 Tamiya Mustang

    Started this kit while waiting for work to dry on the Arma 1/48th Hurricane, tihis is just about ready to prime, going for the natural metal finish it’s been a pleasure to build so far with no real problems, quite a bit of material removed on top of the wheel box to get the wings to close gap...

    Arma Hobby 1/48th Hurricane MkIIc Jubilee

    What a lovely build so far, no issues unsightly gaps, crisp detail, I'm undecided what scheme to go with at the moment but favour the black nightfighter version, so much so I've ordered a pot of black paint!

    HobbyBoss Focke Wulf TA 152

    Only my 2nd build in the last 40 years, still learning, my airbrush is to big a nozzle for fine detail (Iwata Neo 3.5 nozzle) its great for getting lots of paint on, have obtained a 2nd smaller nozzle airbrush (Harder & Steenbeck size 2 nozzle) dabbing on the mottled camo dont work for me, taken...

    First kit, a learning process, far from perfect but some useful techniques learnt, overall quite pleased with outcome, the airfix kit is nice to build, ended up with 2 kits so a natural metal version later

    Acrylic Matte White Problems

    I'm having problems with this color, "White Vallejo Model Color 70.951" had a band of white on rear of fuselage as undercoat for a red and yellow color, my airbrush did it just about but was clogging (It's a Iwata Neo 3.5 nozzle) it took a full strip clean after to sort this small amount of...

    Marks First build 1/48th Airfix Spitfire

    First attempt at airbrushing, looks a bit patchy because still wet in places, primer coat don't count as out of rattle can, Airbrush is a Iwata Neo, pressure 20 psi paint delivery was a bit on / off, I did thin it about 30% but when cleaning after with water noticed delivery was very smooth...

    Decanting Paints

    I'm wondering whether its OK to pour a quantity of paint in to a 50ml squeezable and sealable screw top plastic bottle and mix your thinner into it and use to fill your airbrush, unused paint in the airbrush can be returned to bottle and stored in it next needed? (Primer in this case) but...

    Marks First build 1/48th Airfix Spitfire

    First build for 40 years, build went well to priming stage where I thought I better take a pic, my main mistake with the build was to assemble top and bottom wings and then try to attach fuselage, the blocks that the landing gear go in get in the way and had to prise one of the wings apart to...
