    Neils Tamiya 1/72 Republic P47D Thunderbolt ‘Razorback'

    Yes, the decal underneath the tail got messed up, but fixed now.

    FIFA WC 2026

    Well, even if they did England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales together (which would open a whole can of worms about a British side) would never get it awarded with Blatter in charge. Infantino is the same - hates the Brits, will never award it here. That said, it would cost a bloody fortune, and...

    Neils Tamiya 1/72 Republic P47D Thunderbolt ‘Razorback'

    The fun one will be the chief's head. It has two decals: a white one that is just the outline, and a white line that goes around the engine cowling, and then the actual head, which sits on top of and inside the white outline. And I think the red on the nose might be too narrow. Guess I better...

    Neils Tamiya 1/72 Republic P47D Thunderbolt ‘Razorback'

    Not very exciting, but I put the gloss varnish on, ready for the decals next weekend.

    Its too flipping Hot!

    lovely here today, much cooler - cut the grass, did some weeding and all without melting into the lawn.

    Papa695s 1/72 Airfix Hawker Typhoon Mk. IB

    Very good, the detail is excellent, I keep checking that it really is 1/72 - which is daft, because I know I did the same kit years ago :D

    Its too flipping Hot!

    adds a whole new dimension to the carpet monster - especially with any pieces that jump after application of CA.

    Its too flipping Hot!

    We're about 15 miles West of you, and just got caught in a thunderstorm walking the dog, it's probably heading your way too

    Cleaning the stash... Sort of

    The final twist... My wife said,"I bought myself an extra set of PJ's, so if you want to buy another model, you can". Oops. I had to admit that I already had, she thought I'd only bought one :D "I did buy one, but there was another one stuck to it when it arrived." Strangely, that excuse...

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

    I definitely did this one as a kid in the box art scheme - pretty sure I was quite chuffed with the result at the time, although I suspect not so great in reality. Enjoy your trip.

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

    Good start, don't envy those decals, but it will look the business when done.

    Steven's Eduard 1/48 F6F-3 Hellcat

    I compared my P47 with the Spitfire, and that, and the F6 really are beasts, aren't they? Coming along nicely, it's going to look good in flight. I think I'll borrow the balsa idea for my Mig build.

    Tamiya SAS Jeep 1/35 finished pics

    Really good work, and the figures are perfect for the kit. The Land Rover looks properly battered. I can't help thinking of Stan from Dinnerladies - "My dad was a Desert Rat. He washed the tin plates of thirty-two fighting men in a hub cap."

    Latest Acquisitions (2026)

    my arrivals to get a box to send a kit on... The irony being the box these came in is too small. The sacrifices we make :(

    Cleaning the stash... Sort of

    In an ironic twist, the box they arrived in was too small anyway :) I found the right size one in the garage - my wife suggested I should send the models back. :D she's a funny one! Anyway, I believe John has a 'no returns due to false pretences' policy 😉
