    Mospeada VR052F/T variable type

    Genesis Climber Mospeada, Super Dimension Cavalry Southern Cross, Super Dimension Fortress Macross. So why it went from Mospeada ('Motor-Speeder' probably) to 'New Generation' escapes me I do like the 'transformable' versions of these kits

    Airfix 1/72 Wessex

    Very nice. And that's 1/72? Noice!

    Debris

    Do you mean like discarded stowage, or broken bits blown off? What scale? (I'm going to assume 1/35?)

    1:48 Smer Macchi Castoldi M.C. 72

    Yeah, the rigging on this beast is more like really thin spars than wires - probably due to the extra stresses involved. Thin rod rather than stretched sprue would be my go to, but that's just me. Also, most of the photos show the pilots wearing white coveralls with no life jackets or 'chutes...

    1:48 Smer Macchi Castoldi M.C. 72

    Noice Bit of a rarity that, and, as with most Smer stuff, you've got a bit of work there. Nice detail on it too But is it really 1/48 or, like their CR.42, 1/50? Wish I still had my photos of the real beast at Vigna de Valle. Just have to make do with my Bancaero seaplane racers book

    The state of things.

    If it's not nailed down, someone will steal it. Said from twenty-plus years in retail. Currently, it has to be more than two-hundred quids worth stolen before the police will even take an interest... However... I believe this would count as criminal damage, which is a whole'nother barrel of...

    Very Fire new ships for 26, hopefully!

    ANOTHER Yamato, ANOTHER Beeswax. They're getting like 109 Es. But only the second ever Vanguard! Yay, but why not 700th?

    More new stuff from Airfix.....

    Well, there were the 1/1 bird kits back in the day... NOW I wish I'd got them BTW the Lego flower sets are really something and do sell well I do applaud Airfix for market expansion experimentation

    New 2026 Italeri range....

    They've FINALLY got around to releasing a 1/72 CANT Z.1007! I'm assuming it's the old Supermodel kir updated/upgraded, in the same way they did with the Z.506 and S.81 with interior details. And on the S.81 the changed a raised panel line to inscribed, which was nice, except the real job had...

    The Big Six-Oh

    Well, happy birthday to me. Now I'm sixty and customers STILL address me as 'young man'! So, as no-one else is going to, what model do I get myself as a present? Or do I just go for a PlayStation5? Probably the latter as, 'gasp', there's nothing I actually WANT at the moment. Does this...

    Modelling mishaps

    Just thinking of all the unforced, unavoidable errors you might make in any build. Not necessarily something going wrong with the kit itself, but things we, as modellers, do to ourselves. Repeatedly There's the usual: sticking your fingers together; stabbing yourself with a scalpel But how...

    Chris' AModel 1/72 Hawker Hector

    Well, this took a lot longer than I would have liked, but we're finally here. I am not displeased with the final outcome The Amodel 1/72 Hawker Hector, K8143, C Flight, 4 Squadron (AC) Farnborough, February 1937 The Hector was the last of the Hart family of light bombers, and the only one not...

    StDs 1/72 AModel Hawker Hector

    Welcome back to the studio! Now the Fox is finished I've gone all in on getting this bugger completed, which it now is Yay! So, here's the last build pics, and the finished article is over in a Completed thread I do not like AModel kits one bit, and I've got another four to do: Genet Moth...

    Pegasus 1/72 Fairey Fox Mk.I

    Oh, just for reference also, is the first Pegasus I did, back in the day, a Gloster Gauntlet Mk.I Again, no strut templates, or interior. So I cheated and made engine covers. Squadron markings are Model decal, checkers are hand brush painted. It was twelve years between starting this kit and...

    Pegasus 1/72 Fairey Fox Mk.I

    So, now for your delectation, some build pics The kit is VERY basic. It's also the only kit there is of a Mk.I. Okay, so it's a short run job, surface detail is quite nice and fine, it's a bit chunky. But it's also lacking in many details. The kit Vickers K isn't much more than a blob, so...

    Pegasus 1/72 Fairey Fox Mk.I

    In the Biplane GB I mentioned 'Biplane #4' a couple of times. Rather than post the build in progress, I'm going straight here, and not counting it as part of the GB So, the Pegasus Models Fairey Fox I, A Flight, 12 Squadron, 1929 in 1/72. This is only my second ever Pegasus kit, after a...

    28 mm Churchill Project - Hobart's Funnies II - AVRE SBG

    So, first off, the hull was weighted with 15 pennies, as that's going to be a lot of weight in front. I wanted to do the folded version just to show off the parts, and to make it easier do it in the 'travelling' form Turret already undercoated, as you can see. The attachment points are two...

    28 mm Churchill Project - Hobart's Funnies II - AVRE SBG

    Well, I'm not, strictly speaking, adding this to the D-Day GB, just going ahead as is. SBG stands for Small Box Girder, basically the deployed bridge. It was made in a towed, single-part and folding versions, the latter I'm doing here. And, as I'm not sure whether they were about for or after...

    Latest Acquisitions (2024)

    There's a rumour out there about a Spanish Civil War GB, so... But like I need an excuse to get a kit that gives me the option to do ten different licensed sub-variants of a Vickers 'E'. I'm already up to six-or-seven with Polish ones...
