Worst /best kit you’ve built.
For me the worse was the Kitty Hawk OV-10 Bronco in 1/32 scale. Truly a terrible kit in every way a kit can be bad. Fit, engineering, moulding, instructions, decals, it had no redeeming features at all. The best, well it has to be the Kotare Bf109k which just pips their Spitfires to the... -

They are hard plastic, a mix of single link and short stretches of track.- BarryW

So what about the future, modelling and other matters.
Having completed my first tank build (see that thread) I have now done a fair bit of research and obtained a few things to help with dealing with the 3D printed parts. First is this from SMS and is probably the most useful of all. From HobbyZone it’s to help steady you while doing detail... -
1/35 Tamiya Panzer IV
This is my first tank build since the late 1970’s and I am planning a short run of three before returning to large scale aircraft. So how did I find it? Enjoyable, a shorter build time than I am used to and a lot more really small pieces. In some ways a little tedious prepping all those road...- BarryW

Many of you will be aware of my health issues that started a few years ago. First an update on these. It’s now two years since I start my treatments for prostate cancer having had a tumour removed from my spine and the disease having reach my bones. I was told, two years ago that I would be... -
Kotare Spitfire Vb 1/32 scale
Correct. The other two is the Sky fuselage band painted along a slanted panel line, clearly because it’s easier than doing it vertically as all ‘paint shop’ production aircraft are done. The other is the black propeller back-plate as they clearly just removed the spinner to paint sky separately.- BarryW

Kotare Spitfire Vb 1/32 scale
My second of these superb Kotare Spitfires and it wont be my last. This is an early Mk V which has some interesting details having been repainted from the original Dark Earth scheme, painted in the field. Four things in particular stick out, see if you can spot them.- BarryW

A game changer…..
I am currently working on the Kotare Spitfire Vb. this is my second Kotare Spit and won’t be my last…. I am not doing a build thread on this one but have established the practicality of more uses of this jig. I just fitted the sub-assembly into the clamps without changing the configuration...- BarryW

Gloster Meteor FR9, Revell 1/32
208 Squadron,1955, Based in Cyprus 1955. This is depicted as she looked immediately before the Suez crisis. During Suez she had yellow and black id stripes added. I have never been a fan of Revell but this kit is a real turning point and if their new 1/32 Harrier is developed to this quality...- BarryW

they do sell fast. I put my email into the system to be informed when back in stock. When I got the email I was straight on it. Phil’s has 3D printers working 24 hours a day to keep up with demand.- BarryW

The Flory Modelling Jig…. This jig is perfect for larger aircraft and many other models of most scales. For my 1/32 aircraft it is now indispensable in the configuration pictured. Being able to set the aircraft firmly into a position to work on any part of a model makes life so much easier...- BarryW
