I think you maybe right , i did look at HR Hobbies website last summer ( they had basic colours only then) but now apparently according to some other f'rum ... It seems Alclad split into a UK and USA operation. So, if you're in the USA, don't worry, it's business as usual. In the UK, Alclad became HR hobbies but Alclad (USA) weren't happy as the two ranges were too similar. So in the end, the UK paint is now distributed by Mig, after slapping a nice little premium on the price ! My thoughts on ammo are they would bottle 2nd hand dogfood and sell it as a "modelling texturing product" if they could ....snake oil salesmen and I've never got on with their bottle paints much . * *Just my opinion , if you love their stuff thats ok with me , no need to get upset.

No Gannet for years now a copyflock of them ...due in 24 be interesting to see price vs Airfix Think this is Swords first 1/48 as well

Fine Soviet aircraft ....... made by Illyushin .

Everyone rants about how good they are but they are nearly always out of stock in the UK , TBH given up on the idea of using them , I'm not paying to import them from CZ , or buying endless 'sets ' to get a particular colour. I'm also not sure what the score with Alclad UK is now either as they seem to have disappeared / rebranded / doubled in price/ half the range they used to have . Meanwhile I can walk into any Hobbycraft and pick up most Tamiya's colours for a coupla quid. Go BREXIT I thought. 🤮

Looking for MRP paint in the UK ...

Awaiting parts for the frightening and doing some "completions"....everything bar the belts and some touching up and then zip it up . interior colour is toned down XF71 Cockpit Green from Tamiya, as it always seems very dark for the scale , although is not a bad match overall . I like the Yahu panel I bought a year ago , although so far inside it won't be seen . "Wiring" is 100% made up .

Inspo from Hendon , thought I had more sadly

Fascinating looking build this one , lovely to see stuff out of the ordinary .

Go on Peter give it the full monty !

Tis shaping up well .

Nice surgery doctor Hawkeye...😀

There comes a point where roles reverse with parents and the child becomes the care giver. It’s an odd time to transition for both quite often. Wishing a speedy recovery to you both. for me …..distraction continues

Have done similar on other aircraft , dill out the plastic axel and make a brass one, stronger and lets you put the wheel on when it suits you

Once you go metal tracks ....you won't go back to plastic ...just saying . 😀 Look a those lovely burnished Tiger tracks ....NOM !

That's a a dog old Transall ex German Lufty from 1971 . There is reason old airframes can't carry on for years and years no matter how much we love them . Hi Maru 👋

beautiful work Mike

More distraction whilst I let oils dry . Too advanced already for the twin build but needs completion .

That is a very precise build , looks very Spitfire underneath with that wing .

Very nice , raised the bar somewhat on most of our efforts this year . Figures capture the brothers look very well .

I have to do it in chunks and take a rest , it's just too much work on the giant salami to do it all in one push . I also need to think what this dio is going to look like before hacking the foam . 🤔

Oops double post ...probably wasn't that good first time around
