Hi all,
This is the 1st MENG Bradley kit and I really like it.
Goes together really well, loads of detail (I've added a bit) and a great opportunity for some weathering fun.
Pics arent great, lighting off but I hope you get the idea.

I really want the F4U-1A. Could be my Christmas present from my good lady methinks
-
Its great to model in and have a "play".
My CNC gets more time than the models at the moment but at this time of year I can see me back at the models too
-
Its not great. very good at removing it without damaging it and putting it back on loosely though so not all bad..
As far as tightening it up it doesn't give the same "feel" as the spanner that comes with the Airbrush.

I'm going to weather the hell out of that Dozer
The blade will be a real challenge to get right
Whilst pricey the figures were unmissable. I wanted the 200mm Guy Gibson too but they had sold out... Pick it up next time round methinks, they're at a show in London soon

So,
This is my Manlab. Has to double up as modelling playspace and workshop but luckily its about big enough for both.Could be soon though that the Stash takes up so much room I cant fit anything else, or myself, in
Its an addiction, but that said the 1st part of the cure is to accept that you have a problem eh

It was a combo of that and the not so great new Iwata nozzle tool (the red one like a barrel).
It cant tighten the nozzle enough to get a good seal so I'm back to the spanner that came with it.
I knew it was a dodgy seal just after 3 cleans, rebuilds, new nozzle, needle, packing washer and packing seal I was at my wits end
All good now, just need to find some time to go "play" with it
-

Fixed it.
Just in case anyone else has this issue it was a loose nozzle. The new tool I bought doesn't do it up as tight as the old. Doh!
Back to the old spanner that comes with the brush.

Is 4pm SIG32 the plan set?
I'm driving up (weather too crappy to fly) tomorrow and will stay Midlands with mum tomorrow night,
Will be at the show from 10am ish to try to find a few bargains I guess but happy to hang around for a 4pm get togetherJ.
-
Will this be for sale at Telford?
If it is that could be my major purchase (or a ZM Ho229 I wish) at the show...

That is blinding Tigger,
I didn't do the Competition walk last time I was at Telford (2 years ago). I will be doing so this weekend though.
Gorgeous looking aircraft and I'm inspired to look for one on SaturdayJ.

True Layton.
Mak Kits are great test beds because lets face it, nothing is wrong.
I have a few and a couple more to put up at some time when I can find the pictures.

Thanks Layton.
I love the look of the Falke and it gave me a chance to go nuts in weathering and chipping so even better -
Thanks Spitfire.
Its a great kit. I loved it. Worth some simple enhancements, I think I put a bit of Eduard in the cockpit but otherwise all there.
Loved every minute of it and would do another anytime if there werent so many other lovely kits around to do.
So many kits, so little time.J.

Tanks may well just be a little too big, even for me
Love the Jeep though.J.
-
I did think about the rail.
Maybe when I'm a little less cash strapped I will get it.
Glad you like.J.

I love the L39 and thats a stunning build.
Great aircraft and great build. Love it.
I'd love one of these of my own.

Hi Erik,
Thanks. I will be at SMW on the Saturday (8th). Looking forward to meeting a few folks.LOL Jeroen,
I do like a bit of Star Wars. I have the Y Wing, Tie Interceptor, Slave 1 and Darth Vader's TIE Advanced still to do from the Fine Molds range.
So sad they have gone from the Star Wars franchise but looking forward (with some reservations) to the upcoming Bandai range.J.

Hi Doogs,
I've been admiring your models on Facebook for a while. Great work.
I've just added a signature with all of the ongoing builds now.
Might be able to put some pics up after the weekend
J. -
Eric,
Thanks. I was told that PV144 wasn't a IXe and was an IXc. Not sure if that's true but wouldn't surprise me.I also got told about the prop, In the end I toned down the aluminium scratching with some very dark grey (to show wear from the black) so its not as per the pics.
The Flap Indicators I'm less bothered about and couldn't be bothered to fix at the time
I want to add one of the Masterbox WWII Pilots to it at some point maybe even the dog and I'd love a small 1/32 sports car to make a small diorama based on a painting my mum has on her wall which is of Hurricanes.

Hi all,
Just started this.
Going to do it as a Greek one I hope, just love the scheme and the fact the Greeks seem to never wash their aircraft. I do like em dirty
There is a lot of filler, a lot of sanding and quite a bit of undercoat, sand and re-coat on this. Could be a long build though I hope not, I don't want it to stall and have me put it away for a while. I just love the look of the Buckeye. I've got 2 more in 1/48 for Navy schemes but this one has to be Greek
