Kotare 1/32 bf109K
They say that ‘all kits have their issues’, something I have always believed. But this kit bucks the rule, it’s probably the best designed and engineered kit i have ever experienced. I can find no criticism but if I really had to be picky I might turn to the moulded in aerial mast on the fin...- BarryW

Hanboost power tool
It’s better than the Dremel because it is much more convenient to use, small and light enough to sit on the bench, ready for use, just as you might a manual drill. It’s ideal for plastic and has more torque than the Wow stick I had before and loved, perhaps not quite as much as the Dremal Lite...- BarryW

ICM 1/32 Yak-9T
I have a lot to say about this one but, first of all I have to say that it is a nice little kit and I recommend it to anyone who wants this little Soviet fighter on their shelf. Fairly quickly after starting the build I felt as if this is more like a Special Hobby designed kit than an ICM. OK...- BarryW

Top Notch paint masks - how to use?
Hi Rick Mostly yes the lighter shade first. For the white though try spraying the MRP white primer first as it covers better. (Likewise the sand primer for yellow.) Just take your time and make sure the edges are burnished down with a cocktail stick. I have not used Topnotch before but if...- BarryW

Hanboost power tool
As many of you know I am what I call a ‘tool whoor’ ( for some reason the site refused the actual spelling, hence spelt phoneticly). I do love trying out new tools and though I do have a great selection of power tools, a Wow stick powered drill, a Dremal and a David reciprocal sander I decided...- BarryW

For me this can only be a good thing. I would look in more. -
So, what’s happened to Revell?
As many of you know I am not a fan of Revell at all. First I have to say, I am speaking only of their 1/32 aircraft so others may have different experiences. I have found that Revell have just two things in their favour, excellent decals and they are cheap. I have built a number of Revell...- BarryW

The WW2 aircraft advent calendar.
Have you seen it? Much pushed on Facebook over recent weeks. I did try to get a screen shot of the advert just now, but somehow it’s has disappeared. If anyone else has one then please post it here. This advert was showing an advent Calendar with neat little WW2 aircraft behind each date...- BarryW

1/32 scale ‘explosion’
As many of you know I mostly build 1/32 scale aircraft with just the odd 1/48 or, rarely, 1/24. As I have built most of the best 1/32s that have been produced, plus a few of the ‘dogs’ I keep an eye on what’s coming down the road in 1/32 scale. Right now I have never seen more 1/32 scale...- BarryW

32 scale Trumpeter Douglas Devastator TBD1
This is one of Trumpeters better kits. I used the ASK decals to depict a Battle of Midway aircraft, one of the very few that survived.- BarryW

Revell 32 Scale Hawker Hurricane IIb
I have no hesitation in saying that this is the best Revell kit I have ever built. It is far from perfect and is certainly not the definitive 1/32 Hurricane that's long been awaited, but it is a good sound kit. Kotare will be releasing their Mk1 Hurricane within the next 12 months which will...- BarryW

Ability to load photos lost....

Completed: Academy 1/32 F16I SUFA
This is an excellent kit, the only real issue being around the canopy fit. If you build this kit I would recommend fixing the canopy into place, closed, at an early stage. There are issues with the canopy 'prop' that I explain in my build thread. some pictures- BarryW
