    Latest Acquisitions (2026)

    Got this for a bargain £6.40 delivered , its the Revell Hurricane mk IIc but in a Marks and Spencer boxing with four little paint pots a brush and a tube of contacta . I also got the conversion kit ( cost more than the kit though !) to be able to do a mkIId with the twin 40mm cannon pods . I...

    Tamiya SAS jeep 1/35

    After reading up a bit on these I found out they were delivered from the factory in standard olive drab and were hand painted in the sand colour by the soldiers , so thats what im going to do too. Most of the parts have had a coat of olive drab and I think I'm going to brush paint the sand .

    Airfix Hurricane mk 1 1/72

    Thanks a lot guys , I cant recommend this kit highly enough - its really nicely detailed and goes together well . The undercarriage needs a bit of care to thread through the spar and if you want to have the canopy open you need to sand the spine down a bit but the lovely cockpit is worth...

    Airfix Hurricane mk 1 1/72

    Cheers joe , hopefully they might do a metal wing version of this tooling , would be easy enough to just make a new wing mould , and i think theres an armoured screen on the clear sprue already . The upcoming mkII d is going to be the Revell mkIIc with an aftermarket conversion kit , I seem to...

    Airfix Hurricane mk 1 1/72

    Heres another Hurricane mk 1 from Airfix . I didnt bother with a build log as Ive done a few before . Its a fantastic little kit that i just cant resist as its such a great build and I really love a hurricane ( watch this space - a mkII d flying can opener coming soon !)

    Beautifully built rodolfo , and excellent photography too . I do like a nice 109 and have built quite a few in different schemes ( finnish , romanian , plenty of german) but have yet to do a Hungarian one , but I definitely will. Cheers tony

    ESCI 1/48 Henschel hs 129 b-3 completed

    Heres the ancient ESCI Henschel hs129 in 1/48 . A tooling from 1977 but with a little bit of fettling and a set of etch seat belts scrubs up pretty well .

    Neils Tamiya 1/72 Republic P47D Thunderbolt ‘Razorback'

    Nice one neil , I love the razorback p47s and the indian chief scheme is a classic . I love these Tamiya 1/72s too ( I mean the warbird collection , which are all their own toolings , some of the more modern 1/72 stuff can be reboxes of other makers ) Great start looking forward to the rest...

    1/48 ESCI Henschel hs 129

    After applying the exhaust stains I gave the panel lines the once over with the thinned black/ brown to break up the solid looking colours (especially the underside) . After looking at the few period pics of hs 129 b-3 s , the aerial doesnt seem to feature , only a df loop so the kit aerial was...

    1/48 ESCI Henschel hs 129

    Undercarriage fitted then it was time to fit the big gun. The attachment for this was very poor , just a big slot for the barrel and no fixing locations for the gondola so it was a lot of looking at photos and 3 view drawings to see exactly where it needed to be . Its now sorted and the barrel...

    Demasked , glossed and decals applied . Ive fitted the replacement exhausts and it will now be getting a sealing matt coat ,then I can start adding the final few bits and giving it a light weathering.
