    Ju87 Stuka - Matchbox - 1:72

    Good job Sir! I thought the same with my first AB too - the coats of paint are much thinner than a brush, not matter how much you think you have thinned it (for the brush) - I know I really ought to take WAY more care before AB. This has come out very nicely though.

    Chris's 1/144 Ye-2 Conversion

    And I think adding properly folded PE is an accomplishment!

    Steve's Airfix 1/72 Mig 29A Fulcrum

    I start out intending to add all the stencils - and then just lose heart. Good luck.

    DaveCov's Avis 1/72 Mikoyan MiG-8 (BX 72013)

    Well done! I'm betting that will be the only one of these in the GB. A fun little aircraft.

    Ju87 Stuka - Matchbox - 1:72

    A few little splatters? Well done! The evidence of my first AB session is still on the ceiling! I think I over-tightened eveything, and the paint cup cap flew off, paint then hit the ceiling, Luckily, it was dark blue, so barely noticeable on a white ceiling :oops:

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

    Funny, I was thinking of the same analogy - a fine aircraft, eclipsed by later ones (Spitfire, and F5 / P47 / P51 respectively). As you say, clearly good enough to get that many aces.

    BMW M4 GT3

    You should start a youtube channel on 'decalling the tricky parts' - you seem to have that down to a tee. The one on the bonnet looks painted on as they should of cours.

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

    Good choice, the P40 is a nice aircraft, not the best, but given the number produced, it was certainly effective enough.

    Steve's Airfix 1/72 Mig 29A Fulcrum

    Surprisingly small number of parts. That scheme looks similar to Papa's Ardvaark in the US Icons GB too, so a good choice. Popcorn ready 🍿

    Neil's Eduard 1/48 Mig-21 PF

    Obviously first coat, so another one will be needed next week, My first dilemma, I want to do this in flight - but two issues: 1. Eduard really love their wheel bays and do not give an option for wheel bays closed. So I will do them as painted and ready for either. 2. There is not much room to...

    Neil's Eduard 1/48 Mig-21 PF

    Helpfully, the instructions give grey / interior green / silver as the colours for the cockpit and undercarriage bays! I've gone for interior green. I have primed in black and then green so really just some painting on the sprue today, plus a bit of painting the pilot - even though he doesn't...

    Neil's Eduard 1/48 Mig-21 PF

    OK, here we go... First, it will be the Polish scheme and I bought a pilot in his seat.

    Nuther noob air brush question (2)....

    I feel like we're all like your surrogate parents, Peter, with you trying out your new bike without stabilisers! We know there will be a skinned knee or two, but just waiting for that proud moment when you spray paint that first model 🤗

    Good thing you're working in a scale that makes that easier... oh wait, in 1/144. zhelayu udachi (according to google anyway).

    It's August 1st, so of course. Starting mine tomorrow.

    Pauls Mig-15 Eduard 1/72

    Nice. Does that really have 3 underwings, not 2 or 4? Looks straightforward, with a big old weight up front, because that tail looks heavy.

    Italeri 1/72 Macchi mc202 Folgore

    That looks effective. and as you could probably paint the copydex on, it could be effective in multiple ways.

    I'm impressed by the sturdiness of that antenna!

    That tram in the second pic is well skinny - it could be a relative of the Night Bus in Harry Potter
