    The WW2 aircraft advent calendar.

    Have you seen it? Much pushed on Facebook over recent weeks. I did try to get a screen shot of the advert just now, but somehow it’s has disappeared. If anyone else has one then please post it here. This advert was showing an advent Calendar with neat little WW2 aircraft behind each date...

    1/32 scale ‘explosion’

    As many of you know I mostly build 1/32 scale aircraft with just the odd 1/48 or, rarely, 1/24. As I have built most of the best 1/32s that have been produced, plus a few of the ‘dogs’ I keep an eye on what’s coming down the road in 1/32 scale. Right now I have never seen more 1/32 scale...

    32 scale Trumpeter Douglas Devastator TBD1

    This is one of Trumpeters better kits. I used the ASK decals to depict a Battle of Midway aircraft, one of the very few that survived.

    Revell 32 Scale Hawker Hurricane IIb

    I have no hesitation in saying that this is the best Revell kit I have ever built. It is far from perfect and is certainly not the definitive 1/32 Hurricane that's long been awaited, but it is a good sound kit. Kotare will be releasing their Mk1 Hurricane within the next 12 months which will...

    Completed: Academy 1/32 F16I SUFA

    This is an excellent kit, the only real issue being around the canopy fit. If you build this kit I would recommend fixing the canopy into place, closed, at an early stage. There are issues with the canopy 'prop' that I explain in my build thread. some pictures

    Academy 1/32 F16i SUFA

    I was unable to match up the canopy prop with the canopy, whatever i tried. I did manage to remove it and spent ages trying too 'work it'. So I thought I would glue the canopy into place but... its a poor fit and at this stage in a build you cannot take the necessary remedial action as it...

    Academy 1/32 F16i SUFA

    On the final stages. and a problem. The canopy does not come close to matching the canopy prop. Below the prop matches, as far as I can determine, the instructions as does the part in the canopy that is meant to match it. As you can see it misses by a large margin. All the rest of the final...

    Academy 1/32 F16i SUFA

    Masking is off and decals done. The decals are Cartograph so as you would expect they are well printed and lay down well. There are however a lot of them and they are closely printed on two sheets, some almost touch each other and this provides a few issues. When I say lot, I do mean a lot...

    Academy 1/32 F16i SUFA

    I have been doing touch ups to the paintwork. For this I am using Panzer Putty. It is perfect for this local masking (as well as free flowing two tone camo such as RAF schemes).

    Academy 1/32 F16i SUFA

    I have airbrushed the underside. I will spray a little detail on the underside before masking up to do the topside. MRP038 was used, Light Ghost Grey. Incidentally, before this I sprayed the nose cone Dark Ghost Grey before masking it up.

    Academy 1/32 F16i SUFA

    Below the stores and a few other bits with the paints I sprayed them with. Here is the airframe now with the tail-pipe painted and masked I will also paint the nose cone next, before the main camo scheme starting with the underside. That's when I will attach those pesky small vulnerable...

    Well I have got this little lady into her sexy black undies. Tomorrow I will check the seams and sort them. Also I have finished the priming stage for the stores and other parts.

    Academy 1/32 F16i SUFA

    The Port stab broke off. The solution was to drill a hole to use a metal pin. Easy enough solution Above, the pin inserted and glued in with c.a. and below, the stab fitted back and its stronger than before. . More lumps and bumps fitted. I also decided to fit the nose cone at this stage...

    Academy 1/32 F16i SUFA

    I am getting close to the painting stage. The canopy has come up well all parts are now off the sprues, those being used anyway. Below are the undercarriage parts all painted and wash applied along with a few other painted parts awaiting attachment. These are ready for priming These...
