Yamaha XS 1100
I have never heard of this kit manufacturer before so I have no idea how it's going to go. Going to basically build out the box. The only changes I am going to do is get rid of that awful chrome stuff from the engine and the wheels. Thanks guys for the tip of using bleach, works a treat. It...- Peej

Another 1/32....
After a recent post about a 1/32 mosquito that I have just finished ( my 1st 1/32), I have started my 2nd 1/32. This time a Spitfire. It's another revell kit. I enjoy building revell kits, normally go together well with no issues and they also suit my budget. When it's done I will share some... -

My 1st 1/32 build...
This is my 1st 1/32 build. The revell Mosquito. It is brush painted with revell paints. I bought some decal fix from John and it made the job of putting them on so much easier. Now it's finished I haven't got a clue where I can display it. Might have to stick to building the smaller scales.- Peej

I can't find it...
I've spent ages looking for a thread I know has been covered on here but can't find it. I have a motorcycle kit that has some parts that have that awful "chrome" covering. I think it has been said that some kind of kitchen cleaner will remove it. If someone could kindly remind me I would be... -

Airbrush query...
All my paints are water based, if I thin them to a consistency to spray with water could I use water to clean the airbrush or do I need to use a proper cleaner? If so which would be the best? Thank you in advance. Paul -

Painting guide help...
A couple of weeks ago I bought this. I sat down tonight to see if I would need to restock the paint box. The paint guide is in Japanese....eek I can't read Japanese. Would anyone be kind and point me in the right direction please. I use Revell paints. A rough guide will suffice. Thanking you in...- Peej

Is there such a model...?
I've built a couple of bike kits in the past which I enjoyed. I have been doing a bit of searching for a favourite bike of mine, the Honda CBX 1000, a big 6 cylinder beast. Does anyone know if a kit was ever released? Been looking at actual bikes for sale and fully restored are going for around... -

What varnish to use....
I am part way of putting the decals on my 1/32 Mosquito and I have decided to give it a coat of matt varnish to finish it off. What would you guys suggest as I have never done this. I will probably be airbrushing so a non/low odour would be preferable. Thanks in advance. Paul -

Here is the next one for the bench. Made plenty of 1/72s in the past, so I thought I would have a go at a big 'un. Got to finish the 1/32 mosquito first. It will probably be brush painted like the Mossie as I need to save up for a booth for airbrushing as they don't come cheap. -

Query about decal fix...
I recently bought a bottle of decal set & soften from John. I understand that paint has to have 5 days to cure before use, but how long does a coat of clear need before I can put the decals on? Thanks in advance. -

Any clubs near me?
I live about 5 miles from Loughborough in Leicestershire. I have not lived here that long. Does anyone know if there are any modelling clubs in the area? Thanks in advance.- Peej

Show Your Work Space
This is my little bit of paradise. Not a huge space but enough for now. Sometimes could do with more room especially when I've got a couple on the go at the same time. Also it overlooks the garden which I must get done soon but with working and building it doesn't leave much time for gardening. -

Any recommendations.....?
I recently bought a load of weathering stuff of a fellow member with the intention of starting to weather my builds. As I don't really know what I'm doing could anyone recommend a good book and/or magazine to help me. Thank you. -
