    The state of things.

    Just saw this post on my LMS Facebook page. I absolutely loathe scum that do this to decent honest businesses just trying to get by. Great little shop.

    Papa695s Airfix 1/72 Vickers Wellington Mk.1A/C

    It’s a nice kit. I did one when it first came out and really enjoyed it.

    Just arrived. The Phantom intake blanks for my current project, the Bucc blanks for a recently finished and the Sea King rotor head in anticipation of the forthcoming HAR3.

    Rick’s 1/72 Airfix Phantom FGR2 - in the hangar.

    Engine bay panels cut out. A bit of neatening to do around the edges. The resin engine bay looks like it may pose some challenges, it’s too long and so is the engine.

    Rick’s 1/72 Airfix Phantom FGR2 - in the hangar.

    Got back on this at last. Cutting out panels and cutting off the radome and drag chute cover. Resin avionics compartments have been glued into position. Both fuselage halves done but only one shown.

    Great memory Joe: nine years ago! I was contemplating waiting for the Airfix reboxing of their Shackleton which looks like it has two versions - MR & AEW. But when I saw this for £15 it was a no brainer. The surface detail is much different to the Airfix kit, lots and lots…..and lots of rivets...

    A morning drive up to Samelsbury for IPMS Lancashire’s annual swap meet and I bagged these…from a club mate. £15 for the Shackleton and £40 for the Merlin.

    Advice from aircraft builders needed.

    I use a slightly different method. Paint the translucent green on the inside of the windows that need it. Mask the rest. This gives a nice shiny finish on the outside which you can apply masking tape or fluid to without the risk of adverse reaction on the green peeling off with the tape. Fit the...

    HST paint job

    Have you tried Fox Transfers?

    Sprue goo?

    I made some from Humbrol liquid glue, cheaper than TET. Or you could try making some from those little glue tubes that come with Airfix starter sets.

    Rick’s 1/48 Airfix Sea King HC4 Gulf War

    Earlier this year I had this model in the club stand at the Bolton show. While I was away from the stand someone left this key ring next to my Sea King. No idea who they are as I don’t use faceburke but I was well chuffed with the recognition.

    Rick’s 1/24 Airfix Hellcat

    Agree. But with just the single colour of white has made it easy so far. Not sure how I’d get on with a full red, white and blue roundel.

    Rick’s 1/48 Airfix F-86 Sabre

    I bought the kit for the Norwegian scheme but a club GB for Japanese subjects came up. Wish I’d chosen the F-35A instead - overall grey would be much simpler. 😂
