    Mania models 1/72 mitsubishi ki 51 ‘Sonia’ number 2

    Cheers paul , joe . I enjoyed this but the dark blue gave me cause to think regarding the painted hinomarus . I had to prime in white first then mask them off so I wasnt trying to spray the white outline over the dark blue , the yellow leading edges were done first too . Then once it was blue...

    Mania models 1/72 mitsubishi ki 51 ‘Sonia’ number 2

    Heres the second Mania ki51 Sonia , done in the seldom seen dark blue scheme. This is the reconnaissance version so no tiny bombs this time and a camera in the rear cockpit ( which I forgot to put in :rolleyes: ) A lesson from the first build was the decals can be a bit see through so this time...

    28mm Perry figures French Napoleonic Fusiliers

    Stunning work Tim and so tiny. Its not until you see the Vallejo bottle that you remember these little blokes are only about an inch tall ( or 28 mm as it says in the title )

    Pauls Mig-15 Eduard 1/72

    4-2 , they think its all over - it is now ! Yes hopefully the score ends up 4-2 this time paul . I really like Eduard kits , havent had a bad one yet and the reviews for this one were favourable when it was released . I had the newer tooled ( 2010) Airfix mig 15 but sold it on as it had all...

    Papa695s Eduard 1/144 A4 sky hawk.

    Missed this Ian , love it though . PE in 1/144 - PING! Its bad enough trying to wrestle seat belts in 1/72 but at this scale ! Looks a very nice little kit though ( Little being the operative word !) , very comprehensive decal sheet with some tiny stuff on there to battle with .

    Joe's Academy 1/72 F-16C Thunderbirds

    Looking very white Joe ! As you say , white along with yellow is a bugger to do on a large area , modern paints just dont seem to cover as well as the old ones , I never remember yellow or white being see through when I was slapping it on with the brush on bare plastic as a kid ! Probably...

    Hawker Woodcock 1/72

    Fantastic job steve , can’t have been an easy build but you nailed it . Your dedication to your chosen subject is admirable . To tackle limited run kits like this to get your chosen model is true modelling . I always love to see your stuff , aircraft 99% of people have never heard of before (...

    Fujimi 1/72 junkers Ju87 B-2 Trop Stuka

    Excellent work joe , I think the rlm79 / rlm65 scheme always looks well and its a change to see a Stuka in something other than rlm 70/71 . Another cold sweat canopy mask though ! Great job , cheers tony

    Nick's Airfix 1/72 F14A Tomcat - Geoffers US Icons Group Build

    Nice progress nick , cockpit looks really good for its age , usually in the seventies all you got was a L shaped bit of plastic to perch the pilot on . Once Maverick and Goose are in there it should fill up nicely , cheers tony
