    USN Carrier Aircraft WW2 3-Colour camoflage?

    I'm mid build through a Birdcage Corsair and by Tamiya. Tamiya recommends: Upper: AS-8 Middle: AS-19 Lower: AS-20 Being a Vallejo Air user I messed about with my paints and found this to be pretty spot on to the colour: Upper: 71.087 (Steel Blue) Middle: 71.109 (Faded P.R.U Blue) Lower...

    Meng panther late production tracks 1:35 (Working)

    My first delve into a review! Ok, having built a couple of tanks I'm not over keen on multiple track links that require adhesive and rubber tracks can be a bit hit or miss when it comes to weathering (for me at least!) So , I have a MENG Panther (late model) that I have wanted to build once my...

    Late Panther Camouflage scheme

    Morning Gang, I've had a peruse on the interweb but can't find what I once saw before and now can't find anywhere! Basically I've got a late Panther tank ready to build, the colour schemes with it are the usual green/brown and sand colour late war camo, however I've seen a winter camo In a...

    Academy 1/400 Titanic

    Finally finished my first ship. It went together very well and all PE and metal parts were a pleasure to work with, a pricey kit but a lovely effect with the LED (although not to everyone's taste I'm sure!) Thanks for all members that assisted and helped. Del

    Del's Titanic build. Academy limited edition

    Well, 9 hrs later....this bloody ship is addictive!! I'm more than 3/4 way, mainly as I've spent a few full days on her.. It goes together so well, PE is applied to various areas, a lot of it you wouldn't notice, the rigging is very difficult (other than aircraft antenna I don't use cotton etc...

    Del's Titanic build. Academy limited edition

    ...four hours into today, and all four funnels now rigged albeit I look like Clarence the cross eyed lion.. They supply the rigging, which , although looks like cotton it's something different, has a texture to it and doesn't 'fluff' perhaps it's a coated cotton? It does, However, unravel at...

    Del's Titanic build. Academy limited edition

    16hrs in and the wooden coverings for the Decks are now done, and my first funnel, the colours suggested are a tad strange, when I saw the funnels were to be orange I seemed to have black in my head do I've perused what colour pics I could find and it ranges from orange to buff and so on... ...

    Del's Titanic build. Academy limited edition

    Section of upper deck, most of the PE is applied after construction.... I have to say the wooden decking is a right royal pain in the proverbial, however it's all almost done with no mishaps! Del

    Del's Titanic build. Academy limited edition

    First wooden decking placed, it's purported to be pre cut but it isn't...fortunately it's pre marked so a fresh blade in my Swann Morton and away I go. The sheet has an adhesive on the backing which is bloody strong...no mistakes, you need to get it down first time, it doesn't move and you...

    Del's Titanic build. Academy limited edition

    Ok, so it would appear the LEDS are not working, strangely the part described 'power' is a metal pin the you thread part of the wiring through. There's no obvious on/off switch, it's all wired correctly but my gut feeling is that power button not doing whatever it's supposed to do. Any ideas?

    Hull placed onto the stand, don't know if this is taboo as such having not built a ship before but the destructions said stick it on the stand!

    Del's Titanic build. Academy limited edition

    Reluctantly removed a lot of decking this morning, I've left the stairs in as there is no reference to a replacement that I can see, I can and will remove them later if required though. LED strip's placed into hull (once I managed to unstick them from my fingers/eyebrows etc...the STICKIEST...
