    Andrew's 1/48 Airfix Spitfire XVIII (A05140)

    Ok chaps....so next up the decals! Cartograph....so enough said there! They really are great. I know they still don't look quite as good as a painted job but they go down soooooooooooooo well!! In this case the destructions state that this plane in its post-partition Indian Air Force seemed...

    Andrew's 1/48 Airfix Spitfire XVIII (A05140)

    OK chaps, so we're nearly there. Black wing tips applied, again gone for a slightly mottled look. Also painted the black fuselage band, again with a slightly mottled look. There is a decal version in the kit but a painted version looks so much better. That said it was really hard to get the...

    Andrew's 1/48 Airfix Spitfire XVIII (A05140)

    Thanks chaps! Glad you approve. Joe - glad to hear it wasn't me with the fuel tank, although I have thought about how I could approach it in the future - I have the Mk XIV in the stash, which is the same mould. Thanks again chaps! ATB Andrew

    Thanks Peter. I've got some more. Will put up a full thread in due course.

    Andrew's 1/48 Airfix Spitfire XVIII (A05140)

    OK chaps.....so some long awaited progress. It's been so long because I had some fit issues....still not sure that they're not my fault....and possibly a slightly twisted fuselage, both of which put me off picking it up for a long time. In terms of fit, a review had warned me about...

    Sincerest apologies chaps!! Completely forgot to reply and as you're about to find out I encountered a few issues!! @colin m - thanks for the compliment on the build thread, I do wonder if I overdo it sometimes, so your support is very much appreciated. Thanks again chaps! ATB Andrew

    Andrew's 88mm Flak 37 (The Hunters and the Hunted)

    Thanks Scottie. Coming from you, I'll take that as a compliment! Hi Peter Short answer is necessity. Ideally I'd use a nice solid lump of wood but I don't have one of the right size and am not going to go and buy a big slab for a one-off, plus I don't have the tools to cut is accurately...

    Andrew's 88mm Flak 37 (The Hunters and the Hunted)

    Ok chaps....so a bit of an update at last. So this hit the doldrums at the beginning of the year, in part because before Christmas I wasn't happy with how the figure painting was going (I'm a bit out of practice) and then I was really sick over Christmas, and then I picked up the Spitfire in...

    Geoff I managed to pick that book up in a raffle at a show. I found it very moving in so many ways and thoroughly recommend it. It does spend a lot of time on the background to the raid going back two or three years but in my opinion is all the better for it. If you look the Al Murray and...

    MIko Sorry completely forgot to reply!! Good to hear it's meant to be a good kit, although it will be while before I get to it! And since the post, someone on here has offered me the same kit from his stash, for a very reasonable price!! ATB Andrew
