    Chris' F-Toys 1/144 MiG-21F Conversion (Neil's Blooming MiGs Everywhere GB)

    Yeah. It happens Just after I'd carved and painted the new aerial, it vanished off my work surface. On the floor I found another piece of strip to replace it, which would also need carving to shape and shortening. No idea, though, just where that had come from Then I spotted the original...

    Tamiya 1/35 Comet cruiser tank

    Sweet! So, I stop doing 1/35, and what does Tamiya do? British and French tanks... And then others start doing British softskins. If Tamiya ever do a Lanchester armoured car, I may have to seriously think about my life choices...

    Streamlining? Every gram saved is a ten-housandth of a second off the time!

    Chris' F-Toys 1/144 MiG-21F Conversion (Neil's Blooming MiGs Everywhere GB)

    Dammit, there's always something. Because they're not in the kit, I completely forgot the U/C actuators So, bit of rod through tube and... Right This time this is definitively finished! Maybe, just maybe, one of these MiGs will be fully complete before I post therm here. Oh, I've come all...

    Chris' F-Toys 1/144 MiG-21F Conversion (Neil's Blooming MiGs Everywhere GB)

    Cheers! The Ye-2 (which I've just done some more work on. Again), the Ye-4, the Olympic J-7EB, and this makes four so far Only thirty-two to go! I've an F7 built, OOB, which I haven't put in the GB, which is waiting on some Iraqi markings. It may be joined by another F-7, Iranian, as a sort...

    Chris' F-Toys 1/144 MiG-21F Conversion (Neil's Blooming MiGs Everywhere GB)

    The MiG-21F was the first in service version of the MiG-21, following on closely from the final Ye-6 prototypes. Roughly thirty were built before it was superseded by the F-13 variant This is the blind-box F-Toys kit, which are snap-together models, all very accurate and wide-ranging. Although...

    Chris' F-Toys 1/144 MiG-21 F conversion

    Last bits On with ther main wheels, no problem. The nose wheel tho', which is very delicate, bent when trying to push it in . Miraculously it didn't break bending it back. Bit of a blob of varnish on the dialectric panel, in m y continuous determination to get it to go matt Aerial replaced...

    Pete's Vulcan

    Oh, this out to be good I always remember my first sight of a Vulcan in flight. Travelling by train with my mother and grandparents to relatives in Darlington, some time around 1974-5, and looking out the window and seeing this gert huge triangular slab drifting along, apparently sideways...

    Chris' F-Toys 1/144 MiG-21 F conversion

    Ta. And even I, with my penchant for complex masks, would not airbrush panels in this scale!

    Chris' F-Toys 1/144 MiG-21 F conversion

    Paint! Tamiya Bare Metal Silver, rattle can, overall. No real marks or blemishes to deal with, so... On with the many shades of silver, oily steel, gunmetal, and aluminium The dialectric panels and shock cones are all green on these little F-Toys kits. And some of that has spread to one of...

    Aston Martin Ulster.... 1/32 Matchbox

    Oh, most remiss of me not citing my source David Venables 'British Racing Green' book, which is one of a series of four (that I've never got around to getting the others as this was the only one that turned up at my work!), including French Blue, German Silver and Italian Red books

    Geoffs Trumpeter 1/48 MiG-3

    Just dug out my part-built 'Flashback' MiG-3, which has pretty much the same parts layout, and happily the upper engine deck. It's twenty-years old, plus, and is apparently an ex-Eduard kit, which includes a load of resin and brass extras I got it as the 'plane of my Political Officer...

    Aston Martin Ulster.... 1/32 Matchbox

    Ooh, ooh, I do know this one. The colours started with the Gordon-Bennet Trophy in 1900. Gordon-Bennet was the proprietor of the New York Herald, who offered the Automobile Club de France a challenge trophy to various national automobile associations. The assigned colours were France Blue...

    Chris' F-Toys 1/144 MiG-21 F conversion

    Right, a few streaks of filler, bit of clean-up on the seams, then lots of fiddly bits added; vents, tail fairings, enlarged strake, boom, pylons, and nose wheel doors. The kit nose-wheel doors come as a single piece to slot into the bay, with the wheel behind it. They look very small, so a...

    HI Kaci

    It's officially called the APC. Even though it mounts twin cannons, which would make it an MICV Somewhere, I've still got a six-wheeler semi-transformable mecha-racer from the original GPX Cyber Formula series, from thirty years ago. This says it's from Future GPX Cyber Formula SIN, which...

    Geoffs Trumpeter 1/48 MiG-3

    With all those inlets, it's a good job they made the engine cover a separate piece, rather than putting the seam down the middle Don't even think about the potential nightmare of filling and sanding that! Brrr!

    HI Kaci

    Racing mecha! Noice!
