    You can't park there mate!

    Brilliant idea andy , definitely a Ron type dio . The halftrack looks a superb bit of kit , I really like small scale armour stuff like this , might have to look out for one of these .

    1/16 figure - Air Transport Auxiliary pilot

    Thanks to Neils timely advice Ive repainted the trousers and shirt , they will both be getting a bit of shading / highlighting later . Ive made a tentative start on the faces , starting with the eyes .

    1/48 ESCI Henschel hs 129

    Yes the tsetse was a rather more integrated design although slightly smaller at 57 mm but I think more successful than the Henschel . I built the Airfix mosquito tsetse a bit back but in 1/72 . Ive made up my mind and I’m going to do the b-3 with the 75mm gun , as they say ‘go big or go home!’...

    1/48 ESCI Henschel hs 129

    Yes they're very cartoon like arent they ! :LOL: Luckily they sit well under the coaming so cant really be seen once the canopy is on . The gun would be a real speed killer with the recoil , I dont think these were the fastest aircraft to start with !

    1/48 ESCI Henschel hs 129

    Cheers guys. Not decided yet if I’m doing the B1,B2 or B3 option , I like the big gun on the B3 but it wasnt really used operationally much and if I do then the bottom gun troughs need fairing over so it might be the B2 , I can decide later after ive got the airframe all together

    1/48 ESCI Henschel hs 129

    Heres one I picked up off ebay , the ESCI Henschel hs129 . It dates from 1977 and is of the time , featuring raised panel lines and a quite basic cockpit . Its an aircraft that has always interested me though so I had to get it . I started with the cockpit , which has a decal for the instrument...

    1/16 figure - Air Transport Auxiliary pilot

    Thanks neil , I tried googling to find out the colours of the ATA uniforms but didnt find anything so presumed they would be the same issue as RAF regulars . No probs I’ll soon repaint the trousers and shirt ,any help and advice is always welcome. cheers tony

    Eduard 1/48 A6M3 Zero type 32

    Brilliant choice steven , it looks up to Eduards usual high standards. The Weekend kits are fantastic , excellent value and now with more decal options and including belts on the decal sheet ( not as good as pe I’ll admit but better than nothing especially if having a closed canopy) . Only thing...
