    Colin M's Battle of Britain GB, Fiat CR 42

    I did actually finish this a couple of weeks go, but you know how life is ! Pictures, Finished using MRP and a bit of pastel shading. The struts look a bit over sized, but when you think there is practically no rigging, it sort of makes sense. However, the struts on the model were to long, and...

    Hawker Hurricane - 90 years

    Gentlemen, The Hawker Hurricane's first flight was the 6th November 1935, making it 90 years ago, on the 6th November 2025. This sounds like an occasion to mark with a group build, however, the problem is, we had a GB for the Hurricane between April to July 2024. So what do we think, is there...

    I don't know what the problem is, as you can hopefully see below, it works for me.

    Single Blade Nipper DSPIAE ST-A 3.0

    Gentlemen, my credit card is wonderfully clear at the moment, so, I might take this opportunity to upgrade my cutters. But, are these cutters really worth the price ? What is the advantage of these over average cutters ? Do you use them, or maybe other 'better than average' cutters ...

    Jim R's 1905 Rolls Royce

    A great result Jim. Your standard of build really hides the true age of the model. Brilliant.

    Colin M's Airfix 1:72 Ford Tri motor

    It has three engines (they couldn't afford four) and is made of old sheds. Brilliant. For an old kit, it wasn't too bad. Since returning to the hobby in 2008, this is the second civilian aircraft I've built. I better be careful, I might be developing a habit.

    Gruman F6F-5 Hellcat, Eduard 1:72

    It's done. It wasn't a complicated build, just a lack of time. This is the Profipack kit, including everything except paint and glue. This is not an aircraft that was high on my 'like' list, but now it's built, I quite like the look of the little thing. The kit, yes, it is recommended. Any...

    Eduard 1:72 Grumman F6F-5 Hellcat

    1:72, yes I agree. My last build was a 1:48 Javelin, it took forever. 1:72, it could be the future, as long as my eyes hold out. Right you clever lot. Can you see the problem?

    Eduard 1:72 Grumman F6F-5 Hellcat

    And why we’re at it. How about a tiny engine

    what else to do on a windy Saturday afternoon, decals, there aren’t many. But they were well behaved.

    Eduard 1:72 Grumman F6F-5 Hellcat

    Moving on, we have wings. These are push-fit, no glue needed. Well, I did dribble a bit on just in case, but it really wasn’t needed. And then a bit of primer. Which fortunately showed no problems. so, with nice fast drying MRP, no point hanging around, give it 30 minutes and on with the...

    Eduard 1:72 Grumman F6F-5 Hellcat

    Then of course, we go and hide it all in the fuselage. There weren’t any location pins on the fuselage, location was mainly done by the cockpit. And the other side. unfortunately, all seems needed a little bit of work.

    Eduard 1:72 Grumman F6F-5 Hellcat

    Posting problems aside, I’ve done a bit. The cockpit, complete with tiny throttle levers. And another angle. And the other side Mr Eduard gave us a nice bit of detail there.

    Eduard 1:72 Grumman F6F-5 Hellcat

    I’ve checked on the big computer and indeed, the pics are missing, although my phone and kindle show the pics in place. Let’s try again. This is the kit. The sprues. Nice well moulded bits and pieces. A close up of Eduard detail. Before I go any further, let’s see if these post correctly.

    Eduard 1:72 Grumman F6F-5 Hellcat

    Well this little build started with the wife telling she out on Friday night, also busy on Saturday and out with dau no.1 on Sunday. Brilliant, perfect for a nice little build. And here it is. This has been waiting to see some daylight for a few years now. Actually, if the Cosford posse...
