    No wonder this plane looks so odd, Martians made it ? Or is this look just the result of hours painting wood grain panels?

    I admire your dedication to the detail , that lil destroyer I did a couple of years ago I did as a tip my toe in the water with 1/350 drove me nutz....the full Hood is a long way off which I feel may have to wait until I retire 😀

    Not so much whats on the bench but the bench itself after a bit of a re org with new shelves adding valuable real estate. Paint and tools are all in the drawers , stash and completed are elsewhere . 72 inches of workbench and thats it , so stuff that doesn't turn out helpful isn't kept around . My office doubles up for working from home as well as glueing plastic together . Just need a friendly cat to keep me company like Carl .

    Wowsers , yes had me fooled into thinking you interspersed real with scale photos 😀 You may have come across this website before , it's written by a German pilot, Hubert , who flew them from the start of the program , fascinating stuff. https://www.916-starfighter.de DC+107. https://www.916-starfighter.de/Large/dc107.htm

    I feel you're being a bit selective here transatlantians ...😀 Supermarine, Hawkers and de Hav made some very comely aircraft .... Blackburn ....who knows what they were drinking in the design office ..

    Tis sad ...realised recently it is nearly 10 years since Lemmy departed. he came to my home town in the mid 80s after Sabbath . The local council and newsrag whined about his bat biting and lasers and refused to liscence the gig . Sadly he never came back .

    Nice one Hubert , thats a huge project you've handled well there , wrestled that resin into something of beauty .

    New Cat Carl or new bench companion ? I've picked back up this ICM Ju88 from the SOD . I don't get on with ICM kits, dunno why , moldings are good , fit is generally ok , but something about their engineering doesn't click with me . Which is a shame, as I'm sure it's just me . I binned their 1/48 HS 126 a while ago , with the faff the wing caused me, just terminal loss of interest . Finally got this into initial primer , should be on a downwards slope to a completion hopefully

    I may adjust 🤨 Fun fact about the film , all the Germans were played by German actors apart from Robert Shaw …who absolutely wasn’t based on Joachim Peiper …honest

    After the RAF turned Tirpitz into a submarine , the ship's aircraft and other 196s were run to death as hacks, finally mostly being grounded for lack of spares . After cursory examination by the Norwegians after the war , considered obsolete and worn out , they were towed out in Trondheim Fjord and sunk in Sept 45. Ones still there 55m down . This was just a paint mule to try out odourless thinner chipping with Atom paints in all honesty , as I hate braille scale . The kit is ...so so for the size, probably not much better than the ancient Airflups thing . Laterz PW

    Yeah yeah yeah tell me how bad the 1965 film was, but aged 10 it sparked a lifelong interest in the battle, many trips and many hours of research later . The film is terrible , it was only luck they had snow in the early part of the filming to make it vaguely look like the Ardennes So , Takom M47 , resin figure , just a bit of fun for me . Laterz PW

    Been a while Fun build of the old tool repopped by Revell . Built up nice, still a reasonable fit for the age , ignored the raised panel lines and the mickey mouse missiles , closed the air brakes, metal probe and painted most of the markings / used Microscale decals . Built the Hasegawa version in 1/48 back when I was very young, & not an aircraft we ever saw in the UK . Odd clean build for me as I have not seen many pics of them looking anything other than immaculate . Pretty Century fighter. Love the Snoopy !! Laterz PW

    Incredible details Kevin . Poor old Scharnhorst, sunk on Boxing Day with so many lost. Didn't stand a chance , just a last throw of the KM surface fleet to try to prove a point before Donitz took over .

    The Thou is 46 , my Merc is 43 and my "young" FJ1200 currently going through a full frame up restoration is 39 ..I just love pre digital vehicles ..wife's 4x4 is a mere 16 years old and has to have inspections, pay road tax and other costs . Over 40 years old they are exempt from all that expense in the UK . We are thinking about trading it in for a crew cab pick up when we retire for European caravan adventures, but not something a big as a RAM

    Been busy with the "classics" hence less modelling. W123 had it's entire fuel injection system rebuilt from tank to injectors ..that was learning curve on old Jetronic fuel injection systems . and the '79 GS 1000 has also had a lot of work of the suspension , brakes and electrics ...and repainted it red because .....I can . \ Last Friday it was black

    On the bench ...a nostalgia build ( I built the Hasegawa F102 when I was 7/8 or so ) and an old tool from Monogram 1980 ..(two things I have decided not to do in '25)😐 ..however TBH this is a peach compared to the Trumpetah Flogger I binned mid build last year because is was such a doggy fit I gave up . Century series rock . \

    Cremeweiss is the offical colour for interior of panzers ....aka RAL 9001 ...ATOM do one , AMMOMIG , AK interactive , Mr Paint MRP-A023 as well, but not Tamiya . Of a dab of yellow in any matt white.
