    AEC Armoured Regal Bus - 1/72 - Fylde Armouries

    I hope so! :smiling5: I had already worked on the few parts that I didn't like so much (like the radiator grille that was too wide) in advance. Unfortunately, this radiator grill in particular was printed poorly (my mistake, incorrectly placed supports). Since it's not exactly fun to cut and...

    Andi's 1/144 Zvezda Hurricane Mk.I

    Thank you Steve. The decals actually took a surprisingly long time. Aligning the three letters on the fuselage was much more difficult than expected. I intentionally try to keep the colors very bright. I think that's what the small scale needs. Thank you Andrew. I found this side view and it...

    Andi's 1/144 Zvezda Hurricane Mk.I

    Thank you Andy! Yes, I'm very happy with this colour. In the past if I tried to mix something it looked bad, but here I had a lot of luck I guess. It's decal time! I looked at a few photos of the original aircraft and a color profile of it and noticed that the aircraft number P3395 and a small...

    FV107 Scimitar Mk.II CVR(T) - 1/72 - Fore Hobby

    Shouldn't model building be mostly fun? :thinking: I finally had some time to glue a few parts on again. Unfortunately, this little "car" takes an incredible amount of time to glue together. The kit is really well constructed, but firstly the instructions are not always clear and also many of...

    Andi's 1/144 Zvezda Hurricane Mk.I

    Thank you all! This is something completely different than usual. There is usually a lot of research that goes into each of my models. Here I just tinker around and do whatever comes to mind. After a few days break, we're finally moving on. I painted a few details. I really have a lot of...

    Beaverette Mk.III Prototype - 1/72 - Fylde Armouries

    Hello, The last models I had completed before joining this forum were three Beaverette Mk.III's. I would like to show one of them today. I printed the model myself in resin. The files come from "Fylde Armories". However, I changed it in many ways and reduced it to 1/72. The prototype with...

    Another can of worms................

    Beautiful photo! I've always had a weakness for "enemy vehicles" (vehicles of the Soviet Union & the Warsaw Pact from the 60s to 90s). And I have to laugh every time someone discusses what the right green color was for Soviet vehicles. I found a great photo of VDV BTR-Ds that were parked and...

    Airfix 1/72 bf109e-4 Franz von Werra

    I think you can see some of the bullet holes in this picture. On the standing wings on the far right behind the British Air Force soldier.

    Andi's 1/144 Zvezda Hurricane Mk.I

    For a very brief moment I thought I will turn on the compressor... No! Masking in 1/144 is certainly not one of my talents! The brush will have to suffice. Best regards, Andi

    Andi's 1/144 Zvezda Hurricane Mk.I

    And on we go. I looked through all my decals to see if I had any suitable capital letters to mark a Hurricane other than the one specified by the kit maker. Unfortunately not - so the kit decals will have to suffice. I searched the Internet for the "JX-B" and found that it was the aircraft of...

    Andi's 1/144 Zvezda Hurricane Mk.I

    Hello everyone. Today I was “allowed” to get up very early. While the ladies of the house are getting pretty (not that they need it), I used the time to fill and sand a few sinkholes (and the hole for the flight base). In addition, in photos the Hurricanes almost always had the elevator down...

    Andi's 1/144 Zvezda Hurricane Mk.I

    Thank you Steve. I'm happy if you like it. I hardly know anything about airplane models and just tinker around haphazardly. :smiling6: Next I drilled out the air intakes. First pre-drilled with the drill and then widened with the knife. Finally, I glued a small piece of paper in the middle of...

    Andi's 1/144 Zvezda Hurricane Mk.I

    Thank you very much. Ian, I'm glad to have you here. Your little Hurricane was the impetus that made me dare to take part here. It was actually the first time I tried this deep-draw method. This is probably useless for larger scales, but I think the detailing is enough for this mini canopy...

    Andi's 1/144 Zvezda Hurricane Mk.I

    Ok, somehow I'm motivated to do something with this thing. First check - a Hurricane in 1/144 is small! Second look - The kit is made of the soft plastic that the Zvezda figures are made of. Unfortunately, there's not much you can do with normal plastic glue. A flight stand is included with...

    Andi's 1/144 Zvezda Hurricane Mk.I

    Hello, I came across this kit yesterday while cleaning/searching. I have no idea how it got into my stash. I don't remember buying it. But it must have been in my basement for at least 11 years. I probably wouldn't have noticed it in my chaos if I hadn't seen so many Hurricanes here in the last...

    FV107 Scimitar Mk.II CVR(T) - 1/72 - Fore Hobby

    After another hour, the first 25 parts of the turret are glued together. I estimate that it will come to around 60 parts in total. :thinking:

    Papa695s Zvezda 1/144 Hurricane.

    The little fighter looks fantastic Ian. I was in the basement looking for a spare part when I happened across this kit. I can't even remember how it got into my stash! Hmm, can I still find room for it on my workbench? :thinking:

    FV107 Scimitar Mk.II CVR(T) - 1/72 - Fore Hobby

    Hello, I finally had time to build something further. The hull is now glued together. The only "upgrade" I made is to drill out the lights. The only mistake I discovered was that they forgot to mention a part in the assembly instructions (in the pictures it was simply installed at some point)...

    Soviet Frontier Guards - 1/72 - Zvezda (6144)

    Thank you very much. Here is another photo with a huge Euro coin.

    Hello from Bavaria!

    I was allowed to practice with British paras a few times. I just checked, my British wings was awarded to me by 4 Para.
