Sir Desmond Glazebrook

Thanks very much.

Great work, John. NZ did a great job with their "friendly" markings. Those white stripes look great.

Ha! I did not expect that. Fantastic.

Great work Gazza. It looks like it is still on the road. Is it headed east or west?

Hi guys. This little Spitfire is for a young student. I spent quite some time on it. I have my other work to complete so want to get this done. I used MRP RAF dark green and brown. It doesn't look right. I was tempted to strip it and use GSI paint instead. However I can't justify the time. The boy won't know or care. However......??? Anyway his mum told me he is too lazy to build it. I used a black base. I think this is where it all went wrong. Knowing me, I will probably strip it and invest in a decal sheet. We shall see.

Hi guys. I have read that these 2 companies are related. Is this true, and if so how are they related?

Hi guys. I am not having luck setting Airfix decals. Mark softer melted one. Micro sol proved inadequate. Is the Humbrol decal solution the way to go? Thanks. D.

Thanks very much.

I can answer one question regarding Fripp. Back in the 70's King Crimsons management managed to have the members believe they made ZERO money touring. Touring was only to support record sales. So the band was ripped off big time. When Fripp learned of this he became obsessive about money earned. My friend has a radio program that featured KC. Fripp's manager then tried to sue my friend because people may record the music. It always comes down to $$$. I tell students the 2 most important questions are "How much does it pay?" & "where's the gig?"

Great band. Fripp tried to sue a friend of mine. Interesting character.

The latest arrived yesterday.

Oh yeah? Bill Bruford helped me with the direction of a particularly fine student. He's a nice bloke.

I recently went on a spree, making the most of a sale. The largest model being the aforementioned Airfix Hellcat. That kit is at the base of a large stack and I am leaving it there. So no photo. Other kits are 1/48 & 1/72. Many are within my favorite subject, Japanese WWII subjects. The most spectacular of with is the huge Emily. Although 1/72, I would describe it as large. The recent new tool Hasegawa kits is equal to Tamiya IMO. Aftermarket is of course with each box. The Talon is just beautiful.

Thanks mate.

I have this as well. Tamiya have released some excellent Japanese colours in their lacquer line. My last big kit is the airfix Hellcat. I stocked up on loads of 1/48 and a few Japanese bombers in 1/72. Is it permitted to show smaller kits here?

Hi guys. I am building a kids birthday gift, a little Airfix Spitfire (Battle for France) and am unsure how to paint the wells undercarriage? Thanks.

How big is this thing???

Ryan your work is incredible. I am going to follow everything. Do you have links to other builds on the internet? If so I would love to check them all out. Thanks.

The internet. I now have 10,000+ Luftwaffe images. I chucked every book but 2. Luftwaffe codes and marking and a Schiffer book on Jg54.

Does this new venture require dresses??? Each to his own.

Happy birthday to The Dude.

Paper??? What is this thing I have been missing???

Outstanding!

Is this the Zvezda or Kitty hawk kit? I got the Aermacchi version from Kinetic. Cute aeroplane.

Me-323 in 1/32. Complete with troops and equipment. Ha! It doesn't hurt to fantasize.
