Radders

Hi, Kais. I'm just building it as per instructions, moving the rads more inboard and filling in the originals... it's a good conversion and gives me good practise. I've got nearly all the wings done now.. it's not been easy but some time here and there and it's slowly come together. I will get some photos up in the next day or two. Thanks, Rick. Once this is done i'll be jumping onto my Planet Models Fw-190C (V-18/U-1) Kanguru conversion..

It's sickening seeing this on the news here in the UK and not beng able to help..., so sad, the lives lost, homes and businesses lost, people moving to beaches to stay safe... and the biggest loss, the amount of animals.

Too many to copy and paste... So a direct link to Hannants 1/32nd future releases by ICM https://www.hannants.co.uk/search/index.php?adv=1&product_category_id=103&product_division_id=&manufacturer_id=8060&product_type_id=all_aircraft_kits&code=&scale_id=953&keyword_search=&setPerPage=25&sort=0&search_direction=0&restore_search=&save_search_active=yes&save_search_name=&save_search=&arrival_date=2

Nice!! Will get one of them... any ideas on size??

Finally bought a LSP! Revell's lovely Me-262 B1/U1 1/32nd Just want a MENG Me-163 and Fly Arado now..

It's been well over a year since I've been at my bench, I've been a busy boy through 2019... but now back at it and working on some kits. Dug this out and finally got the wings on the main resin part. More to follow soon.. should be at the bench quite a bit now until the new year.

Didn't get much at Telford, but I did buy - Amodel 1/72nd IL-78 Grand Models 1/72nd PZL M-18 fire bomber Eastern Express 1/144th Mi-6

That's just awesome. I would love to see all these builds in person one day... just unreal!!

As I said before, only going Sunday but would love to catch up with a few people. Will have my camera with me as usual, so I will try and get as much as I can in on the day!

Amazing work Peter, not looked in here for some time and it's come on so much.. Will she be at Telford? I'm only going Sunday so I'll come and find you... assuming you are going.

Will be there one day only I think this year.. the Thursday and Friday I'm hunting Cypriot Mi-35's, and i'm back in work early Saturday... so if i'm not too tired, I shall be there Sunday all day. Shame about Iain, but I totally understand...

Treated myself to these over the last 2-3 weeks. Sorry they aren't LSP's... I sold both my IL-76's to help fund my skydiving and when this one came up for sale I snapped it up as I regretted selling both, the A-50 is my second, been after a second for some time.. the Moss and Atlant I've wanted for years, the Moss was secondhand and 'cheap', the Atlant is now no longer produced so I bought that from Hannants.. and the hunt for another An-22 continues...

1/32nd He-177 would be epic.. But I would love a Maurader, Do-17/217,.... but if it's something like a B-29, all I can think of is making one into a Tu-4

Would love one... maybe nex year. Superb finish on yours.

Tom, it had gone through a really bad storm.. thought it looked great though! Good to bump into you too!

Neo - £170, I’ve worked out it’s worth about £500... Nichenson - Zacto models pylons and missiles. Karimb - this was bought off Facebook, I never saw it on eBay?

So I sold my Trumpeter Su-25UB + resin cockpit a little while ago and instantly regretted it. So when I saw this 'lot' up for grabs, I had to bid and won it at a stupidly low price for what I've got... a proper result!! Needless to say i'm over the moon. Might actually build this one.. (and yes some single seat stuff in that lot but I may sell them bits on as I've no need....)

Hi guys, I'll post some photos soon, but keeping you guys updated. The 'batplane' will be done with a B-17F kit, so this is going to be N66571 a 'G' with the right tail.. but lots of differences and mods needed to the kit, I have cut away all the bits I need to, and now working on getting it up to standard. Wings made up, and engines progressing.. just waiting for some etch to arrive from Hannants for the engines also. Really enjoying doing this... as I haven't been doing any modelling what-so-ever in the last few months... been busy with work and weekends learning to skydive, recently passing my AFF too, so just a few more solos and then I'm an A license holder. I should be able to pick up a bit more modelling then once that's sorted.... Here's a photo from Airliners of the one I'm building.. you can see it's quite modded from the old USAAF days, it was with Kenting Aviation Ltd before being converted to a tanker and used as a Photographic Survey aircraft.

Thanks Brian.

I'm pretty certain it won't be done... so it can go over. I'll get an update done in the next day or two

@LSP_Kevin Any chance of this being moved back into the main Work In Progress... it's never going to be done for this GB, but I do have an update to do! It's come on quite a bit....

This is so cool.... great project. Any chance of seeing it next to something for a size up?

Me in 2019... i'm learning to skydive, doing my AFF Level 1-8 and then A License allowing me to jump anywhere in the world.. And what I'm jumping from... I thought this might be a new aircraft for me, but D-ISCO is ex- HA-ACO which I jumped exactly 13 years ago to this month also! Not a bad thing, good to be reunited!

Nice work, loving this build.

You've done the B-17, B-24, B-29, Halifax, Stirling (in progress) etc... and now this, can't be much left in terms of monster kits to build in 1/32nd scale? Great work mate, hope to catch up this year, although not sure when... I may come down to Southern Expo.
