Very nice weathering Martin, my benchtime has been reduced down to a couple hours at the weekends…….

E Boat this looks interesting, it’s 72nd but around 500mm long, looks amazing detail for its scale……… https://www.themodellingnews.com/2022/01/preview-forehobbys-second-launch-172nd.html

Nice, that looks like one mean SOB……great camo, congratulations……

Congratulations, stunning, you’ve certainly nailed it. As Rob said inspirational builds like these start the juices flowing……

May suggest something washable, some the the good quality kitchen or bathroom paints, pretty bulletproof…

Gaz, absolutely gorgeous diorama, the zonal quality of the camo and the figures are spot on, congratulations. As I said before 110 on the horizon ar some point…

Rob, absolutely stunning, this is really going to be colourful bird in the display case. Reading your prep work, I really need to concentrate on this as this where I always let myself down. Must add that gloss coat before decals. Really envious of your modelling or surfing quote……..

Looking very nice Ryan, never built either Hasegawa or Japanese military subject of any kind…….

Looking forward to this one Mike. I reckon you have a hangar of stash just waiting…..

Stunning in every detail, good to see RAF toon for a change……

This is a whole new genre to explore, looking good John…….

You have a point there Peter, I’d love to build the Stirling, Hallie and Lanc in 72nd again…..quite in expensive as well….

I know you referenced acrylics, I use the AK Extreme range, albeit solvent based but can be brush applied. They are very thin and viscous but apply nicely, well I am happy with the finish……..

Would well recommend the experience. Have a look at Rob’s F4 build…..

Not sure if everyone saw this, more ZM……. https://www.zoukeimura.co.jp/en/products/sws18_bf109G-14_hartmann.html

Stunning congrats…..

Thanks Peter, the AK range came as a bundle which worked out a lot cheaper than Tamiya. The extra thin and the extra thin quick are very similar to Tamiya. It’s the standard which I found to be good. It has a large brush and is, I describe as glutinous but not thick. Also it doesn’t really drip, ideal for wings as you need time and adhesion……..

Very nice indeed, have you any close pics of the cockpit it looks great, keep looking at the A26…….

So with having to go back to work and niggling the last bits on the Ju88, haven’t had a lot of time but small update…… I bought some AK Cement Standard, Extra Thin and Extra Thin Quick. The standard is excellent, has the viscosity of nail varnish ( watch your other half next time) with no drip. For wings and fuselages it’s going to be my go to…….

One for 1/35 Me 109 builder / AFV / figures ……. https://www.themodellingnews.com/2022/01/preview-franz-stigler-company-wwii.html

This is going to be good, did you buy a pallet of P51’s …….

Jeroen, absolutely stunning build as ever. Which wash manufacturer do you use?………

Carl, I’ll wait for the new moulding I think…….

ZM 109G

Thanks Fran for a great and well presented review. Would love to say yes on this but the frigging rigging is my nemesis, never say never…….
