    Steve's 1/32 Revell Supermarine Spitfire Mk.IXc

    Looking splendid Steve.

    1/1 paintwork

    Wow! I think the scrutineers are a bit more keen these days. Thankfully. This one almost failed for the RAC as a flimsy metal panel behind the seats was missing. It had been cut out to fit the 40mm steel tube of the roll cage, significantly stronger, but we still had to beg & plead for them...

    1/1 paintwork

    Yes Steve, it does. As Pete rightly says the roll cage adds a massive amount of strength, but I'd still expect them to at least have tried to weld the roof skin on properly as it all adds to the overall strength.

    1/1 paintwork

    I'm finally getting round to repairing the rally car after it's roll in Kielder Forest last year. I thought I'd check out the workmanship of the guy who fitted a "new" roof a couple of years ago 😳 The front of the roof is barely welded at all, no wonder the paint had cracked! The rear is...

    Geoff’s 1/48 Eduard Spitfire Story - Spitfire Mk.I build.

    Have fun with the build Geoff, I found it went together very well indeed.

    Tamiya Stratos

    I've finished the driver. He has rather strange proportions, but I'm not going to body shame him Umpty seven thousand decals next, now that the bodywork has cured sufficiently.

    Latest Acquisitions (2026)

    After an extraordinarily quick delivery from John at the shop, I have a few goodies to play with. Firstly some stocking up, an extra paint stand, and a mini scenery set that I'll give to my lad. Next, a new range of paints from Mr Hobby will always grab my attention. Currently very limited...

    Rembering Ron.

    I mentioned it because I remember him as staunchly anti-airbrush, but it was only a suggestion. Maybe an idea for those that can?

    Rembering Ron.

    Sounds like a plan. Even the idea of a free & easy timetable seems more like Ron's style.

    Update on Ron

    Add in brush-paint-only and it sounds like the perfect tribute!

    Update on Ron

    Very sad news. Rest in peace Ron. An amazing modeller from which I learned so much, and also a great character that reached out to me during a particularly dark episode to lend a supportive ear. You will forever be known in my house as "rice crispy man" as the whole family were blown away by...

    Tamiya Stratos

    It is a great looking car Ian. I know this isn't a rally version but I'm sure I'll be making one in the near future. Hopefully in safari trim.

    Tamiya Stratos

    A true rally legend, I was lucky enough to see one close up (and hear it in action 😍) whilst working on the Roger Albert Clark rally earlier this year, so figured I should build one. This Tamiya kit hails from 1977, so there are very few parts. It even has the remnants of a battery compartment...

    Mr Aqueous and Mr Acrysion

    Whilst they can both be applied by brush, I'd say there are much more appropriate paints available if that is your main method, ie you are not airbrushing as much as possible. Vallejo model or game color, or the AK 3rd generation acrylics will both be a lot more user friendly for brushing...

    Andy's Spitfire trio - 90th Anniversary GB

    Thanks Ian & Joe, much appreciated. I surprised myself with how quickly they all went together Joe!

    Looks great from here Jim.

    Andy's Spitfire trio - 90th Anniversary GB

    Thanks Steven, and yes Peter, I used a picture of a CD for comparison too but some of the younger ones might not have seen one of those either 😂

    Andy's Spitfire trio - 90th Anniversary GB

    Thanks Steve. I've been having a browse at some 1/144 model groups on Farcebook and some of the work really puts mine to shame. I can't believe how good some of them are for the scale! That doesn't detract from the fact that I'm really happy with what I've achieved though. There'll always be a...

    Andy's Spitfire trio - 90th Anniversary GB

    Thanks guys. The crazy in me is looking to continue with a 1/32, then a 1/24 at some point 😁

    Steve's 1/32 Revell Supermarine Spitfire Mk.IXc

    Paintwork looks great!
