    Revell Super Hornet finished

    Got this 1/48 Revell kit finished. Enjoyed the build and would recommend the kit. The canopy had a horrible seam running down it which I removed with some success but did foul up the canopy a bit, the fit on the canopy is not too clever either. happy to hear what you think of it. M

    Michael M's Phantom

    Well I thought I'd better get something sorted out for this build so I've ordered this one, should be here in a day or two. Wanted to do a 1/72 just to keep the size down a bit, I'm building a 1/48 Hornet at the moment and its pretty big for me so back to the smaller scale. I may invest in...

    Revell 1/48 Super Hornet

    Hi, I'm going to build this next, for no other reason really than it was in the sale at the LMS. I do like the aircraft though and have built a few jets but this is my first in 1/48. There's quite a lot of plastic in the box, for me anyway. The moulding looks really nice and crisp with lots of...

    blocked glue bottles

    Hi, I've managed to get both glue bottles blocked and can't get them clear, they are the Revell touch and flow type, really common cement. I've resorted to to my brush-pot but would like to get them working again, does anyone know of a good way to do this? I've tried to poke a pin through and...

    Tamiya Hyakushiki III 1/48

    This is my next build. First time I've made anything Japanese. Kit looks nice and I'm sure it will go together very well being a Tami, I bought it off e-bay and it seems a little old, the decals are not the freshest but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. Seen a lot of heavy duty wear and...

    Wyvern S.4

    Hi all, finished this Trumpeter Wyvern S.4 in 1/72. Really enjoyed the build, was my first Trumpeter kit and I'll definitely do more, still a lot to learn but I think I'm beginning to get somewhere. All comments and advice gratefully received. M

    Tamiya 1/100 A-7A Corsair II

I've gotten my feet back under the modelling bench, I am nearly done on an Academy 1/72 F14 which I'll post some pics of. I will next tackle this 1/100 Corsair from Tamiya, I've done...

    Tamiya MIG 21 Fishbed 1/100

    Took a little break from fighting with the Black Widow build to put this 1/100 kit together. Really enjoyed this build, I think I'm beginning to favour the smaller scale, the kit went together without any trouble and I'm starting to get the hang of things with Alclad. This kit cost me the...

    1/72 Sabre F-86F Academy

    Built this kit as a kind of practice with Alclad paints as I've not used them before and have a couple of kits in my stash which want this type of paint job. Really enjoyed putting it together and painting it, found the alcad easy to use, I primed as normal the undercoated with black gloss...

    Revell P-61 'Black Widow' 1/48

    Ok. My next build. Picked this kit up at the Scottish show a few weeks ago. Love the plane and fancied a go at building one when I saw the new box Revell kit but saw this one at the show, I think the plastic is the same as the new box version. There are only four of these planes in existence...

    Corsair F4U-1A

    Picked this kit up at the weekend, always loved this plane it's very distinctive and so of it's time if you know what I mean, it's also got that great thing going on where it just looks like it's moving fast even when standing still. I see Trey is also building a Corsair so I'll be looking to...

    FW 190 Tamiya 1/48

    Finished this the other night, pretty happy with it although it needs some weathering, I'm still very unsure about weathering and can't bring myself to try it out on finished models, must get braver. M

    Well my first thread and first time showing pics of my modelling efforts. Picked up this kit in the sale at my lms, Wonderland Models, for just £14;99 a bargain I think. Looks really nice with great details and a small fret of PE, another first for me. Wanted to start a thread with it as I may...
