    Positive waves boys , positive waves

    Heres a little diversion I just knocked out in between builds . Kindly sent to me for nuffin by my good mate dave ( @Gern) Its a 1/100 easy build job intended for wargaming I think , but dave knows I have a penchant for small scale armour and knew I would like it. Very few parts and moulded on...

    Pete's Humbrol Tempest

    Great start pete and good to see you building again. The cockpit floor being too wide is annoying ( this happens a fair bit too ) , dont the makers do a test fit before releasing the kit for production ? In this case obviously not .

    My first car

    Looks lovely , who doesnt love a morris minor ? Theyre the car equivalent of a faithful , friendly old labrador ! Petrol 50p a gallon , I was only about 8 or 9 but I remember my dads outrage at the time when it broke the 50p mark ! Back when petrol stations sold petrol ( and that was about all...

    DH88 Comet..... Airfix 1/72

    Its a shocker isnt it paul ? Back when a couple of moulded on pilots heads was a perfectly acceptable level of detail! 😆 Its just such a beautiful looking aircraft though , shame its not been given better treatment from the major kit makers ( Nearest thing to a modern mainstream kit is the KP...

    Mitsubishi ki 51 ‘Sonia’ 1/72 Mania models finished

    Cheers paul , actually I was surprised it didnt take longer . Probably about an hour in total , but split into three sessions - after a bit your eyes need a reset ! The hardest thing was avoiding repeating the shapes and unwittingly making a recognisable pattern . The paint pen was a revelation...

    Mania models 1/72 mitsubishi ki 51 Sonia

    All finished now , the last few details to be added were the machine gun and ariel wire , nav lights and the twelve tiny bombs under the wings . I decided to just do a little light chipping . Its been a nice build , a quality kit even though its fifty years old . Ive learnt a few things for the...

    Mania models 1/72 mitsubishi ki 51 Sonia

    Decals on, bit of a bugger though - on putting the first hinomaru on the fuselage it turned out they were a little see through and the camo pattern could be seen underneath. So quickly off with the decal and back on the wet paper . I had to paint white circles under where the decals were going...

    Mania models 1/72 mitsubishi ki 51 Sonia

    Cheers Tim , not sure how easy it is to clean , havent done it yet ! I imagine it would be easy enough apart from the fibre nib/brush . If youre planning on using it for the same or similar colours it should be ok but if you wanted to do something different ( ie red then white) then maybe a...

    Mania models 1/72 mitsubishi ki 51 Sonia

    Cheers steve , its just so much easier than constantly loading up a paintbrush , plus it doesnt dry out as quick on the tip . Ive had some different ones before with the intention of using them for the smoke ring camo on Italian stuff but the ones I got were too thick , these ones are much...
