Spitfire

I may be a bit strange but I was fascinated when I had my angiogram, seeing everything on the big screen was amazing, I haven't looked back since and that was 6 years ago. Just follow the doctors orders and you should be fine. Cheers Dennis

As has been said above, do what the doctors say and take it easy Cheers Dennis

That sounds like a very rough ride, but it's great to hear that you are on the mend and if building kits helps go for it, it would be a waste if that skill was not used. Cheers Dennis

Absolutely fantastic, wish I had the patience and skill to paint figures that well but I haven't. Cheers Dennis

That is seriously impressive, the plane, the set, and the figures are fantastic, well done Cheers Dennis

Dymo tape for me also, plus Lion Roar scribing templates and Airwaves radius scribing templates, for the actual scribing I use a Bare Metal Scriber. I have also use the flexible Tamiya masking tape with some sucess. Cheers Dennis

Not sure now as it was probably late 1990's but I think the nose and engine nacelles were a bit problematic, and fitting the undercarriage was different to the norm, in those days though I did not do build narratives like I do now so I am just relying on my dodgy memory. Cheers Dennis

Built two of those years ago, they were challenging but worth it in the end. Cheers Dennis

I know exactly how you feel as I am currently wrestling with a PCM Tempest, fit, sand, fit, sand get out the CA and find that it still doesn't fit, loads of fun. Cheers Dennis

Beautiful job, that looks ever so impressive. Cheers Dennis

Without braving the cold in the loft I would have to say my Airfix 1/24 scale kit boxes, two or three Typhoons and the Hellcat or my 1/350 ships Cheers Dennis.

They look great, certainly solves the chrome finished area painting job Cheers Dennis

Nice one, looks good Cheers Dennis

Sounds like a plan to me, taping the fuselage halves together is definately the way to go. Cheers Dennis

Arrived yesterday my first kit purchase of 2021, just waiting for the Whirlwind now Cheers Denns

That's horrible, but looks fixable, just walk away for a while and come back to it after a bit of thought, don't rush it. Cheers Dennis

I'm on the painting stage of my PCM Tempest and starting to clean up parts on my Fabric wing Hurricane. I nearly gave up on the Tempest but persevered and it has come out great. The problem was that I have got used to Hasegawa and other modern kits and going back to the test fit, sand, test fit, sand, repeat routine was a bit lengthy and boring. But it looks good so far which is good as I have lots of their kits which when they came out were really welcome as they made kits of subjects that had hardly figured in 1/32 scale. Cheers Dennis

Nice to see it getting "dressed" looks great Cheers Dennis

Looking good, this is the kit that got me back into modelling in the 80's and I still haven't built one, and I have three in the loft, plus a BII conversion kit. Cheers Dennis

I use Xtracolor as my main paint but I also Colourcoats, they work just as good as Xtracolour but give more of a satin finish rather than the super glossy finish of Xtracolour, I use the Xtracolour thinners on them just as I would use on Xtracolor. Cheers Dennis

Looks like you could cock your leg over it and ride into the sunset, very realistic. Cheers Dennis

I only bought three kits this year which is disappointing but I have a very large stash so I have a good selection to choose from, of the three the IBG PZL 11 is the one that I have had on my wish list for a long time as I am interested in early WW2 stuff so that would be my choice. Cheers Dennis

Remarkable lady, there was a recent run down of her career in the series "The Spitfire Factory". Cheers Dennis

That looks really great, we used to have a Mosquito based near us and I always used to admire it, sadly it was lost in an accident. Yours definately does it proud I must admit that the black undersides look better to me. Cheers Dennis

That looks grand, the interiors look just right and the figures really enhance it, top work Cheers Dennis
