    Thanks Joe and have to agree.....sadly. Since my last post, it's been buttoned up and I'm currently waiting for filler to dry on the wing roots! 🥺 ATB Andtew

    Proud parent....update on Junior

    Hi all So whilst Junior still shows an interest in what I do hobby wise, he's not dabbled with a kit himself for a good few years - other than Lego - but I'd like share a proud parent moment. As some of you may have seen it was A Level results on Thursday.....and so was a big day for...

    Gaahleri Voortex Airbrush Paint Mixer

    Seen a couple of reviews on these. Look very good and definitely at the cheaper end of decent quality mixers. That said I already have an old scientific mixer that is built like a tank and should last for years,

    Andrew's 1/72 Airfix P-40B Warhawk (Pearl Harbour)

    Ok chaps...so a bit of an update...from last weekend's work: A lot of very large sprue gates made removing parts a a bit challenging but nothing that a bit of care could not deal with..... Joined the fuselage...I normally paint first and then join the two halves but as not much will be seen at...

    Andrew's 1/72 Airfix P-40B Warhawk (Pearl Harbour)

    I resent that inference that I stole it!! I paid good money for what came in it!!! Seriously though, when the kids were younger they used to deliver the local free newspapers, so we always had plenty of spare paper lying around and whilst I still have a bit left, it dawned on me that the...

    Andrew's 1/72 Airfix P-40B Warhawk (Pearl Harbour)

    So having put it in the wrong thread..... Let's try again...... Hi all So another update...albeit not directly build related.....but important nonetheless.... So even even before finishing my Spit I knew my work table was in need of a real deep clean but thought it one more build in it...

    Andrew's 1/72 Airfix P-40B Warhawk (Pearl Harbour)

    Actually it's the second time in four builds that I've found error with the destruction markings.....not sure if you saw it but I did in spades with my Tempest build! https://www.scalemodelling.co.uk/threads/andrews-secret-santa-1-72-airfix-tempest-v-post-war.1255614/post-1255743

    Andrew's 1/72 Airfix P-40B Warhawk (Pearl Harbour)

    Ok chaps, so the first of three updates on this build. First the marking conundrum I mentioned.....i.e. Airfix claiming 284 was on the 6th Pursuit Squadron, when everything I read has them flying P-36s on that fateful day. The 19th PS were though flying P-40Bs. I think I have got to the...

    Andrew's 1/72 Airfix P-40B Warhawk (Pearl Harbour)

    Thanks chaps...glad to have you on board. Geoff - I know masks are an not cheap and almost as expensive as the kit in this case but I can't be faffed doing my own masks! Not worth the agro. Thanks again chaps! ATB Andrew

    Andrew's 88mm Flak 37 (The Hunters and the Hunted)

    Ok chaps, so I been slowly working away on this at club nights and have finally finished what I think will nominally be the back wall. The coffee stirrer sticks I'm using are way too thick at this scale....over 30cm in real life, which is a big plank. Therefore, I score a line down each strip...

    Andrew's 1/72 Airfix P-40B Warhawk (Pearl Harbour)

    Chris, Neil Thanks for the support, as always. Neil - as you say not the best but effective nonetheless....good but not quite as good as what followed...a bit like the Hurricane. That said, one of the reference books I have quotes another author's comments about them, to the effect that 'a...
