    I have to change my brand loyalty ...

    Oh dear, I’m afraid you have a terminal case. No hope, just try to be more swan-like - serene on top, paddling like your arse is on fire underneath! I’m seriously thinking of looking at some ‘absolutely no way I will realistically do that’ kits and donating to Models for Heroes.

    1/48 ESCI Henschel hs 129

    I imagine that having that big gun shooting was probably jarring to say the least, so not surprised it wasn’t used much - but it does look kind of scary up there. Good luck with it, 1977 and looking at the cockpit decals makes me glad things have improved.

    Latest Acquisitions (2026)

    Nice haul. I’ve seen the Eduard limited editions really do end up being limited and getting them afterwards takes a lot of searching - that and plenty of £££’s

    Neils Eduard 1/72 Spitfire F Mk.IX

    I had a weird effect with a decal onto the door - my own fault, as I was too hasty and added the decal before the gloss had really set and then used DecalFix - luckily the kit has 3 doors so no big deal, but I’ll bear that in mind for future, haste is not a good friend with models

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

    Yeah, I think all they do is add more even tinier parts than 1/72 :( Good work so far, looking forward to seeing the transfers wrestled into submission

    Steven’s 1/48 Spitfire Mk.IIa

    The whole ‘White Cliffs’ base is inspired! I’d say this is artistry.

    At what point is your "stash" getting out of hand?

    Hmm, I may have to review my stash cupboard and donate some to Model for Heroes. That looks a worthwhile charity and I definitely have some that I can’t ever see myself wanting to do. My wife would say my stash should be a maximum of one in progress and next one up!

    Westland Lynx - Matchbox - 1:72 scale

    Very nice, considering the age of the kit too. Tell me that they are brand new paints, otherise I have no idea how you keep them so clean!

    Masking fluid, how to remove from brush?

    I use the Humbrol - now I find that use of a cocktail stick and one crappy brush that I only use for masking is the way to go. I just consider the brush a lost cause.

    Nerdy Scale Model Spreadsheet, what to include?

    I started doing this recently too using Numbers - mainly because I no longer want to have a Microsoft subscription for a few excel sheets. So I created (so far) two main sheets, one for Models and one for paints, and because Numbers is great at pivot tables, I use them too. The Paint one is...

    Neils Eduard 1/72 Spitfire F Mk.IX

    The difference in the exhuasts is markedly better than Geoffers - and this is a 1/72, makes it yet more of a surprise that yours is like that Geoff.

    Neils Eduard 1/72 Spitfire F Mk.IX

    The patches on the blue are just where I was touching up so they are wet, they should be same colour when dried fully.

    Neils Eduard 1/72 Spitfire F Mk.IX

    The yellow on the wing edges has bled, I tried using the 1mm tape but it is probably too thin to fold so I’ll need to redo these.
