  1. Great build, and such great reference photos for future builders of this kit. Cheers Dennis
  2. Nice one John, I really like the camouflage finish, as to weathering, that is a very personal choice, I tend to do minimal weathering on my aircraft kits as all of them were new one time in their lives. When I used to build AFVs I weathered them a bit more as I used to put them on small bases. But your model, your choice, it is a hobby after all. Cheers Dennis
  3. Sure is, luckily as I do not know that much about Japanese subjects Nick Millman and his Aviation of Japan blog helped me out a lot with the details for the build. Cheers Dennis
  4. A fascinating conversion and that colour scheme is certainly very different, its very tempting as I do not have a PR Spitfire in the display cabinets. Great progress, keep up the good work (please) Cheers Dennis
  5. That Dauntless looks good despite the smaller scale, though that might usefull in saving some space in the display cabinet. Cheers Dennis
  6. After a few challenging PCM builds I have settled on a very straightforward Hasegawa build, I really like their no nonsense well engineered approach. And it is really flying along, not literally though. Cheers Dennis
  7. Thanks, will tuck that info away for future use. Cheers Dennis
  8. Sounds great, which company did you sail with ? Cheers Dennis
  9. It sounds just like a cruise we should take, we love cruises but have never cruised the British Isles. Cheers Dennis
  10. Good thinking, if it serves no structural purpose and will not be seen then why fit it. Cheers Dnnis
  11. Now this should be good, will follow closely. Cheers Dennis
  12. Looking good, I have the same kit and goodies in the stash so please keep up the good work. Cheers Dennis
  13. Nice one John, a little desert Rat. Cheers Dennis
  14. Looks great, I built one of those last year and really enjoyed it. Cheers Dennis
  15. Nice one John, armour used to be a favourite of mine so I can appreciate the work you are putting into it. Cheers Dennis
  16. Now that is a real beauty of a build, one of my all time favourite bikes, what an incredible machine, and what a noise, and in the hands of my favourite racer Mike Hailwood a real winner. I was lucky enough to see Mike race in the IOM on the Ducati. Cheers Dennis
  17. That looks to be have been a great show, some fantastic modelling on display. Thank you for taking the time to post them. Cheers Dennis
  18. Having recently built the PCM Fabric wing Hurricane I can thoroughly recommend the Wingleader Photo Archive Number 3, Hawker Hurricane Mk.I in RAF service NW Europe 1935 to the Battle of Britain. It's probably the only reference that you will need for early Hurricanes. Cheers Dennis
  19. Nice one Cheers Dennis
  20. Great news, with the new Revell Sea Hurricane this will be a must have for me in 2025, a metal winged Mk.I to go with my PCM fabric wing Mk.I. Cheers Dennis
  21. Now that is really sad, hope you can rebuild it. Cheers Dennis
  22. Sad news, Harv was an essential part of this site for me from the very begining. RIP Dennis
  23. The Sea Hurricane version of this kit should be out this year, https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235151512-new-revell-132-sea-hurricane-mkiic/ Cheers Dennis
  24. Nice to hear your positive experience of using them Martin, I have a C.202 to build in the near future so will try them out on it. Cheers Dennis
  25. As I am a 100% enamel user the closing of Sovereign Colourcoats made me think about checking out other sources of paint, I know that Colourcoats are being resurected but I thought that I would investigate another make that I heard about on another forum. So like Martin (see above) I ordered some paint sets from ARCUS in Ukraine and they duly arrived today, so on my next Italian build I will give them a try. Cheers Dennis
