    It was cheaper than Flory - £22 - https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0G1T9MCXZ?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

    Italeri Fairchild Thunderbolt A-10C ‘Blacksnakes'

    I've been looking at this again now that the P47 is complete, and the two-tone grey really does not show up at all well painted with Mr Color AirColor light and dark ghost grey - and I'm tempted to prime it again with black. Has anyone had any experience of using two-tone greys and not getting a...

    Papa695s Hasegawa 1/72 F-111 Aardvark

    As Joe says, the mottling should give a good effect when complete.

    Steve's Hasegawa 1/72 AH-64A Apache Attack Helicopter

    Anticipating the real colours now. Good work so far.

    The 1/72 WW2 Shelf

    A rogues gallery! Eduard F5F Hellcat, Tamiya P47 Thunderbolt, Eduard Spitfire and Airfix Typhoon. Definite improvements from the Hellcat (first one I did) to the P47. The number plate is from my last car in Massachusetts - 305 WWG - it handily fell off in the car wash before I left in 2000.

    Neils Tamiya 1/72 Republic P47D Thunderbolt ‘Razorback'

    Calling this done. I am not doing any weathering on this. I will make a proper close thread when I have better pics so these are just the quick ones.

    I have a stand that is big enough for the A10 to sit on - not quite the clamping fleury models one, but last time that was back in stock, a few hours later it wasn't.

    You are going to be a busy boy, Andrew. It takes so much longer to build than to collect them. The scarifices we make :cool:

    Joe's Academy 1/72 F-16C Thunderbirds

    Probably wise, how can you be sure you have covered the primer if it is the same colour? I definitely think it is an issue with my A10 - grey on grey primer,

    Nick's Airfix 1/72 F14A Tomcat - Geoffers US Icons Group Build

    Should have kept that secret and we could have been astounded at the results from using the old painting guide :)

    Joe's Academy 1/72 F-16C Thunderbirds

    Looking forward to the priming and painting pics Joe. White primer or another colour?

    DH88 Comet..... Airfix 1/72

    That's, er, terrific? terrifying? I guess, if you were a small boy, you could buy it, the plastic is the right colour and add some decals - bingo - there's your kit? Good luck!

    Mitsubishi ki 51 ‘Sonia’ 1/72 Mania models finished

    That is impressive camo - and to have completed across the canopy as well. I'd be well chuffed to get that level of detail for a 1/72

    Neils Tamiya 1/72 Republic P47D Thunderbolt ‘Razorback'

    It is the muscle car (Transam, Firebird maybe?) to the Mustang as a P51 and a car. Much sleeker and leaner.

    what are you watching ?

    Love football, I'll watch some Rugby, cricket - but the Sky commentators are SOOOO dull! Radio is way better, tennis, nah. I also love NFL and Baseball - NFL since it was first on in the 80's? And baseball, after I lived in Boston, it helped that I had two roommates who were big fans and...

    Warhammer 40k Shokkjump Dragsta

    I like something different, and I love a sci-fi build because, let's face it, the colour scheme is entirely fictional, so you can do it how you like.

    Sherman M4A1..... Nichimo 1/35

    For a 70's kit, that has gone together very nicely. Good work,

    Steven's Eduard 1/48 F6F-3 Hellcat

    Looking good there, and it is a shame that Eduard just doesn't like to do in-flight. Maybe they think we all should be admiring the wheel bays :);)

    Neils Tamiya 1/72 Republic P47D Thunderbolt ‘Razorback'

    I decided to add the stores as well, so now it needs the antenna adding, flat varnish and hope the chief's head has sat down with decal set. And of course, a little bit of touching up. I gave up on some of the really small decals but may give them a go too.
