Arrrhhaaaa Baldrick, a cunning plan I hear you say………….Very nice Dennis, that stash should keep you going for at least a couple of months, 9 months tops……that ZM Nick will be a nice build……..

The Cartograf decals are fantastic, just used the on the 38…….there is a lot stencils, I nearly went crossed eyed doing my F4J……..

To report that the varnish went down a treat. I pulled out my old cheap Chinese airbrush and put a 0.5 into it. With a ratio of 2 to 1 it sprayed perfectly……….looks great IMHO and now a good base for weathering…….may use this over acrylic (Vallejo) in the future if it works over a different base……

Thanks Gaz, much appreciated…….no need to apologise….

Very nice Gaz, the eyes do take a hammering with PE………you guys got your arses whipped by those All Blacks……

Seriously Martin, I didn’t like having to have glasses but that’s the only way ………get some glasses 😎…….

Thanks Martin, never built a Hurricane even as a child…….so need to remedy that………just thinking 24th is another step up……..

Rob, looks very good, good luck with the next stage……

Martin, whose kit is this?…… looks great…….

Thanks Dennis, it does seem quite viscous…….wish me luck……

Thanks Dennis, Unfortunately I do not have their thinners as I use white spirits as they suggest for their paint range. Would white spirits work?……….

Double post

Really nice build Mark, I do like ZM’s construction approach. Enjoy your holiday..

Nice work, I refuse to buy Dragon with the DS tracks, Dragon are to expensive in there own right but to then have to add AM tracks………!!!!

All. Having just finished the decals on my P38, I need to seal them before weathering. I used Extracolour enamels and found I had a new bottle (albeit 20 years old) of Xtracolour Matt varnish. I think using acrylic varnish over the the top is a no no………so if I use the Xtracolour varnish does anyone know the thinning ratio. I presume use white spirit? Thanks in advance…..

Flawless as ever Peter……..

Looking very good Rob, this clear coat conundrum is intriguing, look forward to the wet transfers…..

Very interesting Rob, I had issues with Future on the F4J with silvering all over the place. I bought some Vallejo gloss varnish and was going to use it over the Extreme metals for P51……..going to have to experiment first I feel……..I similar to yourself, spraying, gloss coating and decals bring me out in a sweat…….

Looking good Rob, thanks for the tip on the black base, the P51 is next for the booth and I haven’t thought about sanding it……..

Stunning Carl, with your inspirational work, I need to look at other genres…

Will be watching this, I have done a late Tiger 1 and like to add another……

Thanks Nick, haven’t started using oils yet, I use predominantly acrylic so I’ll have to do some tests with oils and mineral spirit on the acrylic….

X 2

I have the same mentality as you Gaz, will I knock that part off before spraying….?.?.?…also the blutack anti carpet munching device is always being used….looking good……

Great build, love the burnished hot metal look, stunning
