    Latest Acquisitions (2026)

    Great memory Joe: nine years ago! I was contemplating waiting for the Airfix reboxing of their Shackleton which looks like it has two versions - MR & AEW. But when I saw this for £15 it was a no brainer. The surface detail is much different to the Airfix kit, lots and lots…..and lots of rivets...

    Latest Acquisitions (2026)

    A morning drive up to Samelsbury for IPMS Lancashire’s annual swap meet and I bagged these…from a club mate. £15 for the Shackleton and £40 for the Merlin.

    Advice from aircraft builders needed.

    I use a slightly different method. Paint the translucent green on the inside of the windows that need it. Mask the rest. This gives a nice shiny finish on the outside which you can apply masking tape or fluid to without the risk of adverse reaction on the green peeling off with the tape. Fit the...

    Sprue goo?

    I made some from Humbrol liquid glue, cheaper than TET. Or you could try making some from those little glue tubes that come with Airfix starter sets.

    Rick’s 1/48 Airfix Sea King HC4 Gulf War

    Earlier this year I had this model in the club stand at the Bolton show. While I was away from the stand someone left this key ring next to my Sea King. No idea who they are as I don’t use faceburke but I was well chuffed with the recognition.

    Rick’s 1/24 Airfix Hellcat

    Agree. But with just the single colour of white has made it easy so far. Not sure how I’d get on with a full red, white and blue roundel.

    Rick’s 1/48 Airfix F-86 Sabre

    I bought the kit for the Norwegian scheme but a club GB for Japanese subjects came up. Wish I’d chosen the F-35A instead - overall grey would be much simpler. 😂

    Rick’s 1/48 Airfix F-86 Sabre

    I’m building this. Nice kit. Trying AK Extreme Metal paints for the first time, very nice paint and easy to use. I’ve spotted a bit of red over spray to rectify.

    Yes. Deactivated.

    Rebuilt my workbench

    After several years since moving to my current abode I finally got round to sorting out my workbench. The MDF back panel has been fixed to the desk, I’ve reused stuff from my old bench; mostly Ikea storage rails, bins and shelves. Added lighting and hooks for tools etc. And yes, the spray booth...

    Rick’s 1/24 Airfix Hellcat

    I’ve been dropping in and out of this build - slowly getting there. I’m trying MRP paints and paint masks for insignia for the first time. The painted on insignia looks great but there’s a few rough bits, the Top Notch masks are a bit too flexible but still effective.
