    Airfix 1/72 Hurricane IIC G-AMAU

    Okay. This has come perilously close to me walking away. The last time that happened, it was 12 years before | went back to a particularly frustrating model. Some part-started stuff has now been waiting longer but I digress... And it was all going so well All the small lettering is done...

    Airfix 1/72 Hurricane IIC G-AMAU

    If you think that's good... Sometimes I even get a mildly satisfactory outcome! Needs a bit of touch-up, but hasn't turned out too bad, all things considered. Starboard side is better than port. The portside 'U' needs work as it was originally a transfer as mask So, now I've got to add...

    StD's Trenchworks / Warlord Churchill AVRE carpet Layer Type 'D' 28mm

    Right. With the mounting plates removed, the 'Bobbin' frame is on! Add on the wading gear, and we're about done! And just for size I've left off the turret hatches for now because I'm kind of in two minds about adding a crew. Most of the vehicles operated on the beaches appear to have...

    StD's Trenchworks / Warlord Churchill AVRE carpet Layer Type 'D' 28mm

    The turret has a very nicely printed petard as separate piece. Compare though with my other 3D printed AVRE turret, from my in progress bridgelayer (which was the first Churchill I got in this scale, and set me on this dark path...) I'll probably fill around the two hull blocks. Which I...

    StD's Trenchworks / Warlord Churchill AVRE carpet Layer Type 'D' 28mm

    So, I was going to see how quick I can get this together. It would have been an hour, except for an annoying hitch, of which more in a bit Hull and tracks together, Hull MG and AVRE frames added. There are two printed blocks that fit in the front hull, probably for the option of a crab or...

    StD's Trenchworks / Warlord Churchill AVRE carpet Layer Type 'D' 28mm

    Well, I've started a collection of Churchills in 28mm, and I've a couple of Hobart's 'Funnies', so, while other projects are 'waiting' (for paint and varnish and glue to dry) thought I'd do a quick build The Tenchworks 'Bobbin', available from Warlord, is a Type 'D' Carpet Layer on a Mk,.IV...

    Airfix 1/72 Hurricane IIC G-AMAU

    Okay. So the starboard side masking took about half the time as the first. Then over-sprayed with gloss varnish to prevent too much bleed Next will be the blue Not a real disaster but a minor hiccup. I haven't done the wings underside blue just yet, but I thought I'd gloss it up first And...

    Welcome to Geoff’s D-Day 80th Anniversary tribute chat thread.

    Okay, so, while I'm waiting for some silver paint and varnishes to dry, I think I will jump in on this. Just see how quick I can get this done

    Airfix 1/72 Hurricane IIC G-AMAU

    So, here's a successful test The tail surfaces have no gold, and they've come out fine. Likewise the u/c doors. The right hand u/c doors are to test masking , and that's not looking too bad. This will be the big test though Three hours work striping and lettering. The 'go faster' stripes...

    Airfix 1/72 Hurricane IIC G-AMAU

    Three days and the gold is STILL tacky. Although that does seem to be making the masking stick well In my, several, sets of RAF letter transfers, I had none to right size or type face for either the wings or fuselage. So, let's see how this goes Carefully examining the film and photos from...

    Miko's Airfix 1/72 Hawker Hurricane mk I

    Looking good there. Just for reference, this is the alternate sprue

    Airfix 1/72 Hurricane IIC G-AMAU

    Well, been a while, while I've been sorting Biplane #4 and the Hawker Hector from the Biplane GB, now time expired but I WILL finish THEM So, now I'm about to commit a modern modelling heresy. I don't think much of AK paints, but it's probably just me and my airbrush... So, here's the gold...

    Airfix 1/72 Hurricane IIC G-AMAU

    Now, this is the start of a bit of an experiment The kit has alternate doors for U/C up or down, so I'm using one to try the marking masking idea. So, the gold doesn't cover very well by brush, but this is a test. When it's dry, it'll get a varnish fix, then I'll add some tape marking...

    Airfix 1/72 Hurricane IIC G-AMAU

    Cockpit in and canopy added The central panel is another spare from the Gladiator All of which is invisible with that canopy framing!

    Airfix 1/72 Hurricane IIC G-AMAU

    Okay, so the detailed floor is painted, just interior green and a black watercolour wash The seat is from the Airfix Gladiator, with my usual Tamiya tape belts So, the replacement bay is cut to shape and painted. And, as you can see, the sidewalls came off while cutting. Still needs work to...

    Airfix 1/72 Hurricane IIC G-AMAU

    And speaking of parts Originally, I thought about finishing my AZ Hurricane, the ex-Yugoslav on in Regia Aeronautica colours, but it was really too far along But in it, I had two sets of undercarriage bays and cockpit pieces With a bit of work, the spare bay will go in this build, cut to size...

    Airfix 1/72 Hurricane IIC G-AMAU

    Right, modified the wing with a couple of bulges, cut and sanded from the kit exhausts. They'll do Which reminds me. I need a pair of six-pipe exhausts, which I do not have anywhere in all the Hurri spare bits...

    Chris' 1/72 Bandai B- Wing - Rebels B-Wing Prototype

    So, I may be making a rod for my own back here, but I'm going to convert this to the red Blade-Wing prototype, as seen in Rebels I did find a 3D printed conversion kit, but it appears to be for one of the wargames models. I don't know whether to see if it can be made larger, or if that's a...

    Andys Star wars GB keep here the chat you shall

    So, while I'm here, the two biggest Star wars models I have in the house The LEGO Executor. It's 120cm long and weighs a blinkin' tonne! Just had to dust it off a little. We did inherit a resin job recently, which was half the size of this beast, and actually not as good! All the others in...

    Andys Star wars GB keep here the chat you shall

    Okay, so recently I finally managed to complete the set of Rebel starfighters, with the A-Wing. It was cheap, comparatively And these do show how LAZY the designers were with the sequels by just doing minort modifications on the X-wing and A-wing. And making the basic TIE a two-seater, albeit...
