  1. Just checked, Hannants are still showing Backorder with 10% off……..
  2. I reckon I’ll just squeeze the GB and maybe one more this year………
  3. Stunning Mark, never built any cars…..
  4. The only SH kit I’ve done was their Tempest. It was a nightmare to fit the cockpit assembly in the fuselage and button up. In the end I didn’t fix the cage inside just ground it down to fit and let friction and the fuselage hold in place. Very doubtful if I’ll build another SH……..
  5. Great start Mike, following with interest……….
  6. Finally finished the William Shirer, moving on to this. I do enjoy Max Hastings style of writing. This was only published in 2020………
  7. There are some reviews and builds on the web thingy, I was watching Nigel’s Modelling Bench briefly last night and he was getting on with one. Can only watch short snippets of this guy……….
  8. Absolutely stunning Ernie, there is a very good book concerning PBJ’s this guy flew them and then wrote the book. I’ll try and remember……
  9. Perfectly executed spray finish as ever Peter, looking forward to the decals. Are you going with the kit decals…….
  10. Great to see you back at the bench Ian, missed your ongoing airfield build…….
  11. look Carl over there……….SQUIRREL……………….respect…….
  12. Spit is looking amazing Peter, talking old school techniques, ironically I miss sometimes the cleanup and test fitting etc etc. …….we all cut our teeth on these skills and kits are now getting so good with the right set of cutters there is nothing to do but add adhesive………hmmmmm a conundrum, on my part anyway……..and cost of kits will eventually stop the younger generations even a glimpse into the hobby……
  13. Harv, is there room for a dedicated model room? I reckon you need to build the worlds best man cave…….
  14. Stunning Tom, P38 creates a lot of dust, how do you get away with it in the kitchen…….the build is amazing. Having grown up in 3 Group country, the Stirling is a firm favourite…..
  15. Martin, inspiring work here, I also wish life wouldn’t stop bench time but it’s all part of life’s rich tapestry………..just received the last AM for the Tamiya Mossie build ……..soon……
  16. Gus, great modulation, hope the snow hasn’t been to bad…….
  17. Hubert must have given you this “ wrong scale” virus……….🤪
  18. Temptation get behind me………….
  19. Good start and very fast, wish ZM would do an any British variants. Only ever built one hair dryer and the was ZM F4J……
  20. Mini WIP on the engines? Or will it be part of the Lanc build…..
  21. Thanks Dennis, unfortunately I cannot use enamels in the house so it’s acrylics for me. I’ll do a test on a mule using gloss acrylic over acrylic and see if it stands up to the vinyl…….btw the markings look amazing……
  22. Thanks Mike, finished the Bofors at the weekend and now moving on to the twin 50’s. I’ve got some Master barrels for those…….
  23. Thanks Peter, I must admit I’m a little wayward as far as following instructions, to many Dragon kits I guess. I found the sales receipt for the kit , 1st March 2016, seven years in the stash……..I’ve just ordered the last of the AM so any week soon and we will be off………
  24. Thanks Dennis, just one question if I could, do you gloss coat or similar before applying the masks?
  25. Mike, with you, strip down AB add warm water and a tiny bit of Vallejo cleaner as a last shoot through and done. Never get any residue….and always use acrylics…….
