Wrapped up the Revell 1/144 C-17. I made her dirty, perhaps a bit too much so. But I rather like it. Model Master paint AMC gray. Imagine that. A gray plane.
Oh, the milky spots on the lower front windows are because I managed to knock the kit parts into the plane and had to make the windows from Krystal Klear. They still hadnt fully dried when I took the pics.

Revell 1/72 Eurofighter. At last finished after awaiting new canopy from Revell Germany. The finished was ruined by Aerosol spraying with a can of Humbrol clear gloss which gave a “ aircraft left out in the snow” look! This was partly remedied by applying several coats of Windsor & Newton satin acrylic varnish. Still relearning this hobby.

Revell 1/48 Mosquito Bomber Mk 4.Third and very last Revell kit I have built (& will ever build) since returning to this hobby. This kit is very poor. The leg struts are too short for the wheels, the canopy wouldn’t fit because the radio (I think) is too big, the cockpit floor was way too wide and had to be shaved and sanded tons to make the fuselage halves fit and so on etc. Will stick to other model manufacturers. Still learning about weathering.

This week on the 1/72 Zvezda MiG-1.44 Flatpack:
I've not had much time at the bench since last friday but I masked and painted the dark grey areas using Vallejo Model Air 71.097 Medium Gunship Grey, tidied up the paint work after unmasking, put a good layer of Pledge Klear on and painted the other side of the canards and gear doors using Vallejo Model Air 71.317 GOL Light Blue.
If all goes to plan next week should be the last time I bore you guys with this one.

Here's the beginning of work on the Eastern Express 1/144 Fokker 50. It has what you might call 'fit issues'. If it avoids the rubbish bin it will be decked out in the colours of either Skywest or Virgin Australia. If I like the end result enough I might make another one in the other scheme. We will see ...

My WW1 GB entry is done

Here we see Major General P. Bertland _{ISM, U.M.P} accompanied by Driver Ivatts at the Battle of Telford Carpark, issuing orders to Privates McCord, Pearson, Denison and Scattergood of the 1st Heavy Spruecutters Brigade.

The vehicle is Resicast's 1/35 Ford-T Vickers Gun Carrier, the driver is also by Resicast and the other figures are from Masterbox. The base is scratch built on a Games Workshop large oval base. Paint has predominantly been Vallejo Model Air & Model Colour.

Hasegawa 1/72 F-15E Strike Eagle for the Graeme Pearson Christmas Tribute Build.

Fiddly bits stuck together and primed. Had to order resin cans as there's a huge gap in the kit parts. Move along......

Academy 1/48 CH-46D Sea Knight (No it's not a chinook)

Tonight I shall continue to add scratch built detail to the CH-46D (It's still not a chinook) mostly adding detail to the winch arm and other areas, I've found I should have made the switch back to Helicopter models a long time ago, but we have to try other genres to discover what we enjoy the most.

I still refuse to endorse any Ultimate products within my pictures.

The ongoing Saga of my Revell 1:24 '53 Corvette Roadster:



Will I get it finished before the end of the year?

Almost done with my Aoshima 1/24 Mclaren F1 GTR that I'm doing for Pauls non box scheme build. I've used Tabu decals to do the Gulf/Davidoff livery. Added a set of MFH seat beats, Top Studio connectors and wiring plus some Scale Motorsport carbon decals, paints for the body is Zero Paints gulf colors and Ultimate black and ZP 2k dimond clear. Just need to attach the doors and rear wing and it should be done.

TamIya R34 "Z tune" Skyline.

Sprayed with Splash Midnight Purple 3 and Pro range 2k clear

Part one of the build will be up on the ISM channel soon

This week Mathew I have continued working on the Graeme Pearson Christmas Commissary build. Cockpit completed and installed. The main airframe is coming along nicely with the bare metal finish.
I had planned to post daily updates for Graeme on the Facebook page but personal matter have prevented that this week, please forgive me G.

I have how ever made a build thread on the forum. Enjoy

First stage camo done on the HobbyBoss King Tiger.

Needs a bit of tweaking to break up a couple of areas. Base colour is Tamiya XF-60 mixed with XF-59 (because I ran out of 60!)
Green camo is Mr Hobby Aqueous RLM 63.
