    Eduard 1/72nd Hellcat F6F-3 Profipack

    This is my next build. As it is the profipack version I have a couple of frames of photoetch and canopy masks on this one. The intention is to build it with the wheels down and canopy open to show off the interior a bit more. Parts are provided for the open or closed canopy, the Eduard kits...

    Eduard 1/48th Mig 21R

    Here it is my MIG 21 group build completed about 8 months late. I was making good progress to start then work, family matters and moving house all conspired to throw a spanner in the works. Painted using the Gunze-Sangyo acrylics, once I had got over a teething problem with the airbrush...

    Dave's 1/72nd Boulton Paul Defiant

    The first build completed since the move. This is the new Airfix kit and an OOB, primarily painted using the Mr Hobby acrylics. I tried the Bare metal foil for masking and it came out reasonably well, I think I will improve with practice. The kit goes together nicely with no real fit issues...

    Progress on new workspace

    Since I moved things have been a bit busy travelling for work and bits in the new apartment for my wife. However, I have now managed to start work on my new workspace. As I am now in a top floor apartment I needed to improve the vibration deadening on my compressor. So I sandwiched a piece of...

    Absolute Chaos

    For those wondering where I have been recently and why my Mig21 build stalled I shall explain. I have been travelling a lot for work and we are also moving house. Now our son is off to university we have decided to down size a little so are moving across Brussels to an apartment. So the...

    Completed Dave's PRU XIX Spitfire (Airfix 1/48th)

    This is now completed and on time.  I have deliberately kept the weathering light.  The aircraft is pictured just before the last ever operational sortie by a spitfire over Malaya on the 10th June 1957.  From my research I gather the name "The Last!" was painted on the aircraft before the final...

    Dave's 1/48th Eduard Mig 21R Profipack

    Okay folks, this will be my entry into the Mig21 SIG.  I intend to make it as a Russian aircraft from Kabul in Afghanistan in the early 80's.  I will be making a start over the weekend as the PRU Spitfire for the "spy in the sky" build is down to the final weathering touches now, although I seem...

    Messerschmitt Bf109E

    Few shots of the "Emil" at the RAF Museum, as you can see, she is in a few bits at the moment.

    Dave's Airfix 1/48th Mk XIX PRU Spitfire

    Ok, about time I got started on this one. I will be going with the RAF version and OOB except I will scratch build the seatbelts.

    Revell 1/72nd Ju-88 A4

    Thought it was about time I posted some more of my own work. I have made a start on the cockpit, a little more work is needed on the pilots chair and then I can add the front instrument panel and start building the bombardiers position which goes in from underneath in the empty slot you can see.

    Belgian National Day 2015, display and flypast.

    For those of you not in the know, today was Belgian National Day. It is a public holiday with a military parade, flypast and some static displays. A few photos for those that might be interested.

    Eduard 1/48 Bf109 E-1

    Finally completed this one, first time with PE which was an interesting lesson in patience. Reasonably happy with it but the paintwork could be improved in places, particularly the wheels. I have gone for light weathering as this is an aircraft from August 1940 flown by Fw. Artur Beese of...

    Eldar Farseer (Warhammer 40K)

    Thought I would post this little fellow I finished recently to show what else I do with my time, painting these chaps is one of the reasons the models progress slowly. For those not familiar with the system this was a 3 or 4 piece figure in 28mm (roughly 1/60). Not too bad a job but looking at...

    Dave's 1/48th Airfix Harrier GR3

    The obligatory box and sprue shots before starting, picked up in TK Maxx for £9.99. This is bit of a departure for me as I don't usually build jets. I will build the No1 squadron version but sat on the ground rather than flying and I will also not be rescribing the aircraft.

    Advice on RLM02

    I would be interested to hear what people use for RLM02. I am using Vallejo Model Air 71.044, but I am wondering if it is too brown/green rather than grey. I am using it for a Bf109 E-1 of 9/JG26 august 1940, the Eduard instructions call for a top surface splinter pattern RLM02/RLM71, with the...

    Eduard 1/48 Bf109 E-1 Profipack

    I thought I would do a construction thread for this build, although it will be a lot slower moving than most. Work is well underway on the office, this was my first experience with PE and even with my reading glasses for magnification some of the bits were tiny. I have a little bit of...
