  1. Your build is looking fantastic. Love the detail on the ejection seat. I'm getting ready to build the seats for my Ju88 cockpit. Here's a question. If you paint, detail, add seat-belts etc and then install in the cockpit how do you glue them in place since everything is painted? Ralph.
  2. Holy cow!!! Can't get over your level of modelling. I bought a Edward cockpit instrument kit for my JU88 build and just started grinding the per-molded instruments off the panels allowing me to install the self-adhesive brass parts. It's nerve racking but my confidence is growing stronger with each grind and I figure paint will cover a multitude of sins, lol!!
  3. Great review James.
  4. Have a Minicraft Hasegawa #1092 1/32 Boeing P26 Peashooter that I just purchased via a great deal on eBay to add to my stash. Your build will really assist me once I start my build. Ralph.
  5. Yeah I was really pleased get this as most new kits are in the $100.00/$125.00 price range. As I said it's in perfect condition and I was able to find new decals, seat-belts and Edward instruments on eBay for around $40.00! I have 6 models in my stash so I'm good!!! Well unless eBay offers up some more excellent deals, lol!
  6. Found this incredible "1987" Revell 1/32 P38J Lockheed Lightning kit on eBay for for $34.50. Box was open but all parts still sealed in their original plastic sleeves with instructions and decals. Decals look a bit dry but will order new when I start to gather aftermarket parts.
  7. I love this aircraft and a big fan og you modelling skills! Really like the panel lines, exhaust manifolds, camouflage and cockpit detail. Fantastic job!! Ralph.
  8. Great photos with your new camera and fantastic finish on the 109's. I really like the desert chamofluge version! I have several nice digital cameras but take all my pictures with my I-Phone. Ralph.
  9. Nice work Jan. Love the weathering. did you do the aluminum paint chipping using a dry brush? Ralph.
  10. LOL Tom!!! Thanks for the tire tip and the ironing shirt advice. I'm anxious to try this on my Ju88 and future builds. Really like the look. Thanks again. Ralph.
  11. Lord you guys just keep coming up with stuff I need to buy, lol!!!
  12. Not sure yet as I'm working on my Ju88 but I did pick up some 1/32 aftermarket Tiffy decals on eBay just in case. The kit is Revell # 85-4663 1996 depicting a Hawker Typhoon Mk 1B "Mavis" flown by Flg. Off. LWF "Pinky" Stark, No. 609 Squadron based at Manston early 1943. That's how I will build it. Ralph.
  13. Two recent wins from eBay to add to may stash!!
  14. Found this very informative article on the Typhoon/Tornado at http://axis-and-allies-paintworks.com/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?5494
  15. Well congrats to you.
  16. Wow love the look of the weighted tires. Up until now I haven't tried that but will on the Ju88. Is there any special technique to doing that? Ralph.
  17. Thanks James I'll take you up on your kind offer!
  18. Good Lord no wonder it has a $275.00 to $300.00 US price tag!!! You get everything including the kitchen sink, lol! I bit pricy for my mosel budget but I will enjoy watching your build James. Really interested in hearing what building in resin is like. I ordered a nose conversion for my upcoming Ju88A-6 nightfighter build which is resin so will get an introduction with it. Thanks for the fantastic review as it was most informative. Ralph
  19. I have the Revell 1/32 He 111P kit that I'm saving until my skill set improves but I'll never reach the skills needed to achieve a build like this!!
  20. Very nice! Like the color scheme!
  21. Fabulous effort James but would love to see more pictures of your BF110 build so I can grade mine against yours plus I want to steal ideas from you, lol!! Is that part of the Hess BF110? Ralph.
  22. What do you seal with before installing decals?
  23. Just found this fantastic review on the kit I just bought. Great review Jim and thank you for all the interesting details!!! I was completely enlightened to all the features in this new Revell offering. My skill set has improved since building the older 1:32 Ju 88A-1 kit so I look forward to using those new skills on this kit for the GB. Thanks again for this informative review. Ralph.
  24. Wow very nice!
  25. Like everyone I'm speechless. Your craftsmanship is amazing!! I have never seen such beautiful detail! Fabulous effort!!!
