very inspiring build Phil, in this scheme the lines of the aeroplane stand up more than usual splinter boo boo. I really like it, thank you for sharing.

Cheers

Martin

Thanks Martin very much appreciated, all my pleasure to share with you guys.

Great job on on the Lysander! I remember building one ...I think was in 1/32, years back.

Maybe the one by matchbox........ I think it was a Testor's  Re-box but not sure. Always

Liked its weird looks.

Thanks for the comment, for a fairly old moulding and the re-boxing with a little bit of fore thought, it’s an enjoyable build…..

Very nice Lizzie, Phil. 
One of my fondest memories of the builds of my youth was the venerable 1/48 Hawk Lizzie. This one certainly beats it hands down  .

One day, maybe, I’ll feel like the 1/32 Matchbox deserves my attention. There is a striped yellow and black target tug scheme that makes me dream. But I would sooooooo much prefer a new mold 1/32 Lizzie …

Hubert

Thanks Hubert much appreciated. I’d only built the old Airfix header bagged 1/72, that dates us………I’d love to do a 1/32 let’s hope someone like the old WnW guys or ICM or ZM, I doubt anyone else would the the old Lizzie justice.

Very nice and smooth paintjob Phil!

Thanks Kai, been working on the Flammpanzerwagen, so must get the airbrush out and top coat the Wildcat…

[ZM A-1 Skyraider up]

Looks forward to this, closed or open hatches?

[Soo.... What did you just get???]

Nice haul Peter, I think more and more of us are looking and tackling new genres, it keeps the creative juices flowing.

She came out looking fantastic. Cammo and finish look just superb. So very well done

Thanks Peter, had a couple of nightmares with the camo, I cocked up the overlap of the two colours but happy with it in the end. I always use Vallejo and personally like the finish……..

What a strange looking bird Phil, but I have a soft spot for fugly designs. Your rendition is absolutely beautiful, to answer your question, I did enjoy 

Thanks Rob, I also love the design of the Lizzie, specification was issued 1934, first flew 1936, issued to squadrons in 1938. One of these strange pre war oddities. Really enjoyed the build…..

Another terrific build and the finish is spot on the money! In the first image, the light weathering and 

Thanks so much Peter. This was my first attempt at streaking and for once it worked for me…..did enjoy this build……

Very nice Phil, thank for not withholding your JU-88 . I like the North African livery and how you performed it, a true beauty, which makes me thinking not for the first time, if I should use that scheme for my Do-17.

Cheers Rob

Thanks Rob much appreciated, I do like the North African livery as well, I’ve the ICM He111  H6 NA. You should definitely do the Do 17 in it……

[ICM 1/48 Ju 88A-11]

I have been re-miss of not showing the finished model. My first ICM and well recommend them. An enjoyable build my first Axis aircraft subject for probably 40 years. Hope you enjoy…….

At last I have collated the pictures of the finished project.

Eduard Profipack Lysander Mk III ( ex Gavia ). Really enjoyed this build as the wing structure and position was a challenge and for once I’m pleased with the finish. One mistake was I forgot to take off the masking for the spat lights….hope you enjoy…..

Kevin, cool to change genres now and again. Like you, never built Miniart, they do a plethora of interesting AFV’s……following with interest…….

[Tamiya F-14 VF-2 Bounty Hunters]

Nice progress Bill…..

[Dragon Jagdpanzer IV 70 (A) Kit 6015]

Looking very good Gaz, figure painting is amazing, sorry the mesh didn’t workout, soldering irons, fingers and tiny parts do not really mix……

[Tamiya 1/35 Panzer 38(t) E/F]

Very polished build, love the factory fresh look. There are so many variations of AFV’s on this chassis…..

[Infinity SB2C DONE]

John, love the result, stunning as usual. Great perseverance like the never say never attitude. This is the only one I’ve ever seen completed. Didn’t they do a wingfold AM or am I dreaming. If they did should we dare you……

[German Panzer IV Ausf H]

Well back, I always get confused with interior colours for AFV’s……..

[Tamiya Spitfire MK XVIe]

Peter, I’ve been experimenting with spraying the engine with Xtreme metal gunmetal / Alu and spraying semi black acrylic over the top. You can then scrub some of the black off to show the bare metal. Just a thought…..

Looks good, Phil!  Leaving the gun bays open?  I would hate trying to get PE covers to fit the airfoil perfectly.

Thanks Gaz, the Eduard covers are thin and I’ve preformed them, I think they will be ok. On the Wildcat it was only the tray covers which were hinged……I think….

Trump kits are a hit and miss Phil but you have it go'in on this one!

Thanks Kevin, this hasn’t been to bad. As I think Ernie said once, a true shake and bake kit tends to become boring after a while…….

Primer coats looks smooth and ready for the color. Glad the weather improved so the air brush work can keep rolling alon

Thanks Peter, ironically the weather last Friday was 33 degrees followed by Sunday at 14 degrees. The roots took 3 attempts, I may just revisit again……
