    Here they are parked up on "Spitfire shelf" , alongside the first model I ever built.

    Andy's Spitfire trio - 90th Anniversary GB

    Well that went a great deal faster than I thought it would! Thanks to Colin for suggesting this, Ian for short-notice admin, and all those that have participated and/or followed along. My aim was to produce three aircraft in different scales, 1/48, 1/72 & 1/144, as similar as possible, with...

    Andy's 1/48 Spitfire Mk1a

    Cheers everyone. Ezline is my weapon of choice too Tim. Thankfully the Glue Gods were smiling and it stuck first time on all three! I'll get some better shots for a completed thread but here they are together and finished I tried a forced perspective shot but I didn't really have enough...

    Maybe my memory isn't as bad as I thought it was 😁

    Have you used that set before in a dio John, or at least something very similar?

    Andy's 1/48 Spitfire Mk1a

    Thanks everyone. Yes Andrew, I'm pretty much done after a good session today. I'll not bore you all with the full sob story but the decals were a nightmare. There are now bits grafted on from the spares drawer, and some brush painted touch ups. It went so badly that I almost pulled the...

    Papa695s Trumpeter 1/35 LAV-III

    I've just read through from the start. Some great work on a very detailed model. I like this a lot! And no tracks, always a bonus 😁

    I see Chick Norris is dead

    Is Chick Norris now his widow?...

    Andy's 1/48 Spitfire Mk1a

    Thanks Geoff. I've got a bit of a production line going with the decals which is helping to speed up a process I don't like as it's so slow, laborious & fiddly. Definitely the longest part of any build for me. As usual I'm having trouble with silvering, mainly with the Xtradecals on the...

    Tamiya matt clear varnish XF86 v TS-80

    I've not used XF86 but for matt clears in general it's essential to give them a very good stir as the matting agents settle out to the bottom. Also, what are you thinning it with? Slow thinners (like Mr leveling thinner) or too much thinner can keep the paint film wetter for longer, which can...

    Andy's 1/72 Spitfire Mk1

    Thanks. The red dashed lines around the undercarriage bumps* might be a bit more challenging 😂 * I'm assuming that's what they are, I'm an ignorant neanderthal when it comes to aircraft lol

    Andy's 1/72 Spitfire Mk1

    I had a devil of a job with the wing walk line decals. No matter what I tried they kept drying with epic silvering So I bit the bullet and decided to paint them instead. It was actually much faster and easier than using decals in the end 😂 I have plenty of spare roundels so I'll add...

    Tamiya mazda rx7 R1

    I've just had a look through your Stratos build. Looks like a great kit, built very nicely!

    Tamiya mazda rx7 R1

    Thanks. I have the 1/24 Tamiya to build but obviously it's nowhere near as detailed as that!
