    Airfix 1/72 Hurricane IIC G-AMAU

    Okay, so the detailed floor is painted, just interior green and a black watercolour wash The seat is from the Airfix Gladiator, with my usual Tamiya tape belts So, the replacement bay is cut to shape and painted. And, as you can see, the sidewalls came off while cutting. Still needs work to...

    Airfix 1/72 Hurricane IIC G-AMAU

    And speaking of parts Originally, I thought about finishing my AZ Hurricane, the ex-Yugoslav on in Regia Aeronautica colours, but it was really too far along But in it, I had two sets of undercarriage bays and cockpit pieces With a bit of work, the spare bay will go in this build, cut to size...

    Airfix 1/72 Hurricane IIC G-AMAU

    Right, modified the wing with a couple of bulges, cut and sanded from the kit exhausts. They'll do Which reminds me. I need a pair of six-pipe exhausts, which I do not have anywhere in all the Hurri spare bits...

    Chris' 1/72 Bandai B- Wing - Rebels B-Wing Prototype

    So, I may be making a rod for my own back here, but I'm going to convert this to the red Blade-Wing prototype, as seen in Rebels I did find a 3D printed conversion kit, but it appears to be for one of the wargames models. I don't know whether to see if it can be made larger, or if that's a...

    Andys Star wars GB keep here the chat you shall

    So, while I'm here, the two biggest Star wars models I have in the house The LEGO Executor. It's 120cm long and weighs a blinkin' tonne! Just had to dust it off a little. We did inherit a resin job recently, which was half the size of this beast, and actually not as good! All the others in...

    Andys Star wars GB keep here the chat you shall

    Okay, so recently I finally managed to complete the set of Rebel starfighters, with the A-Wing. It was cheap, comparatively And these do show how LAZY the designers were with the sequels by just doing minort modifications on the X-wing and A-wing. And making the basic TIE a two-seater, albeit...

    Airfix 1/72 Hurricane IIC G-AMAU

    Now, the cockpit has a floor, a seat, and a pilot. Not a lot will be visible, so I'm not doing my usual work on it as the canopy will be close anyway The stick is just two bits of one of the missiles in the kit. I'll be replacing the seat with one from the new Airfix Gladiator I've got as it...

    Airfix 1/72 Hurricane IIC G-AMAU

    Like I said, the scheme is Royal Blue and Gold, so I've got some AK paints specially. Which may be asking for trouble as I've never used the before. So, I'm going to put the gold on first, then mask, then blue over the top. After a test run on something else...

    Airfix 1/72 Hurricane IIC G-AMAU

    Wings sanded and stuck together. Fuselage likewise. And I managed to cut off the port side part of the tail light, so that needed replacing...

    Airfix 1/72 Hurricane IIC G-AMAU

    So, de-riveting and a few choice panel lines re-scribed. There are none on the wings, and only a couple on the fuselage. So, taking photos as a guide will put a few back Some bubbling on the mould to show it's age. That's easily rectified, and not TOO much flash either

    Airfix 1/72 Hurricane IIC G-AMAU

    Right, so I had this lying around. It was a freebie I got from work a while back, one of the 'newer' dogfight doubles starter sets, with a Ju.88. The latter I always intend to do a Regia Aeronautica version, but I may just get one of the newer, better kits like the Revell job, and save myself...

    Latest Acquisitions (2024)

    Picked up at Salute last weekend. I was hoping this had been released in time but only one stand had it Although I've already got all the BEF infantry I need, I was hoping to use this lot for extras to gun crews and such, but the poses and layout don't lend them as easily to that as the...

    Thoughts on 1/144 scale.

    I've just realised, the biggest kit I've got, is 1/144 Just as a comparison, the Su-27 top half in the corner is 1/48 She may be gone, but she may return

    paint conversion helpers...

    Not sure if this should go in the Conversion thread, but there are queries about Mr Color stuff separate here. So, I just picked this up from the guys at Albion Alloys today. They're now the distributors for all the Mr Hobby stuff in the UK, so they've compiled a handy compare / conversion...

    Latest Acquisitions (2024)

    Just got my figures through from 3djson on eBay, after Tony (Yak face) recommended the printer. All 28 mm / 1/56thn (take your pick) Polish drivers in caps French tankies at briefing British tankies in berets (which won't take too much to make them early war or Western Desert) Sweet

    Chris' 1/72 Planet Models Breda Ba.44 (Papa69 Biplane build)

    Well, after a bit of a struggle, and the odd mis-step, here we are This was actually my first choice for the GB but I got sidetracked by the Hawker Hector (now I can finish that!), the SE5A and biplane #4 (soon to appear) As a comparison, here's my 'Expedition' DH89 Dragon Rapide, with whom...

    Trying to have 1/72 fun with the 1940 McClellan- Barclay wacky camouflage schemes.

    There is no reason to suppose that the US Army wouldn't have tried some experimental camo schemes, in the same way the McClellan-Barclay STRANGENESS was tried by the USN And for those of you that weren't following the camo thread... The brown Brewster above is probably equally likely than the...

    Chris's 1/72 Planet Models Breda Ba.44

    So, all there is to do now is touch-up paintwork and some weathering around the wheels and underside Next time showing will be a 'Completed' thread... None of the challenges on this build have been insurmountable, and I went into it eyes open. The major problems were the thickness of the...

    Chris's 1/72 Planet Models Breda Ba.44

    Well, the BUILD is done. Still much work to do That's all the rigging in place Tail wheel, exhaust pipes and nose pitot added. There are no photos that show exactly what the probe looked like, and there's nothing in the kit, so just a few bits together (including the alternate joystick for...
