    BOATMANS F16 CJ with hopefully lights

    Fit doesn't look bad in the photos Chris, but nothing a bit of filler can't solve. Coming along nicely.

    Joe's Trumpeter 1/72 Mig-29C Fulcrum

    Cheers Steve. I'm enjoying the process of this build, once you get your head around Trumpeter's instruction methodology it's pretty straight forward with a great fit.

    Airfix 1/72 Hawker Hurricane Mk.1

    Thanks Steven. I do like a Hurricane. Cheers Steve. Needed something to balance out my Stukas :) Thanks Chris. Yeah, that bit in the wheel well was indeed a tight fit. If that's the worst that happens then this is a gem from Airfix.

    Lovely job Ian, you really captured the business look of the Aardvark.

    1/24 SCALE HELLER FERGUSON Rusty and left in a barn Fergi

    Looking good John, it is interesting to see two similar projects being done in different ways.

    BOATMANS F16 CJ with hopefully lights

    Nice work on the navigation lights Chris. The landing lights will be inside the nose gear door. The previous builder used white inside the exhaust because the petals on General Electric powered F-16Cs have a white or cream ceramic coating. They need a bit of dirtying up though (y)

    Aston Martin Ulster.... 1/32 Matchbox

    Nice Matchbox kit Paul, that will look very impressive in red.

    Worst /best kit you’ve built.

    I will need to look in my cabinet Geoff, but the Italeri A-10 was a bit of a filler eater and a real challenge to create something decent for public viewing. I'm sure I've got some other monsters awaiting me in the stash. I built the Italeri Dakota too, got it completed but as you say it was a...

    Airfix 1/72 Hawker Hurricane Mk.1

    And before too long the Hurricane has its familiar shape. Just the antenna and pitot tube to go on, then I can get into the painting. The wheel wells and landing gear components have been painted aluminium. This is a very enjoyable little build so far.

    Airfix 1/72 Hawker Hurricane Mk.1

    Once the cockpit is completed, construction happens quickly. Some filler was required around the fuselage seam and under the nose where the cowling meets the wing section. Careful masking and sanding preserves the rivet detail. I have sprayed the dark green where the canopy will cover part of...

    Airfix 1/72 Hawker Hurricane Mk.1

    This boxing of Airfix's Hurricane is for an early fabric-covered wing version, but with a three-bladed DH propeller.

    Airfix 1/72 Hawker Hurricane Mk.1

    I've had this kit for a long while. It's a kit that has been built on this forum many times, most notably recently by Tony @yakface so I haven't gone too much into the construction of it. Doing a little bit of reading about 85 Squadron in France, I discovered that the 85 Squadron hexagon...

    Joe's Trumpeter 1/72 Mig-29C Fulcrum

    The main grey colour has been applied. The greenish colour will be next, requiring some mixing of paints to get that familiar Mig-29 shade. Quite happy with the way the pre-shading has affected the grey, I wanted a slightly used look to the paint. I need to look at some reference photos to...

    Joe's Trumpeter 1/72 Mig-29C Fulcrum

    Pressing on, I painted the dark grey panels and masked them off for the main event

    Pushing Back .......

    Welcome back Tom, sounds like you had rough end to your trip. Hope you feel better soon and can get back to your model bench (y)

    Off to a heart specialist!

    Best wishes John. It is good that they have identified the cause of your ailment, and as Paul said many things can be managed these days. Take care.
