The kit comes with screw in u/c legs, the kit also comes with a blank that fills the u/c bay, this is the same for the rear u/c bay section. Of course Ray, you're more than welcome to publish it.

Hello all, Here is a follow on from my P-51D 'Diablo' Not a lot different was done, the insignia and codes were all painted for a more realistic look Thanks for looking and all comments welcome.

Absolutely love this, the A-10 is a lovely aircraft and you have really done it justice. Well done!!

Hello Ray, Of course you can use it, no problem at all. The nose art drew me towards it and before committing I had to check to make sure it was indeed a real aircraft, the nose art made me wonder but yes, it is indeed a real authentic aircraft. Thanks for everyone's comments

Thank you for the kind comment. The paint work was firstly primed in black and micro-meshed down and then certain areas glossed and others matted. The paint i used was Tamiya's LP11. As above 😃

Take a bow! No matter how good a kit is, it's the modellers skill that makes the final outcome. Superb work my friend, absolutely fantastic

Hello all, Happy Easter :-) This one of those kits you just have to love building as it's such a joy without any issues and the engineering makes everything easy. Just take the ability to screw the undercarriage in and the cover to fit perfectly (with magnets)...brilliant work by Tamiya. Special motion to Red Fox Studio as their instrument panel tops the kit off giving extra detail inside the cockpit. 'Diablo' decals were Kits-World and were nice and thin, all the other insignia were from my own DM-Scale Model P-51D Mask set. All comments welcome.

Hello Steve, yes you're correct, I placed some magnets internally before gluing it up. The idea, obviously, is so this model can be displayed with or with the tank....as it does take away the nice lines of the Meteor having that blob underneath.

Yes, Ray no problem at all

Absolutely was, stick it together and go painting...as painting is my favourite part of modelling, you can't go wrong with this kit. Yes, there was a few, the Meteor held the speed record with a modified Mk.4 which carried the camo scheme. I wish more companies took this strategy to kits, what's the point of a 600+ piece kit if it doesn't fit?! Sometimes, as a community we except some very average products, which if it was a bit of furniture....we'd take it back. (Rant over haha) Thanks for all the kind comments on this build

Hello and Merry Christmas to you all, I hope you all have had a good time over the Christmas period. I took on this build after a few futile and very-very annoying builds, absolute epic fit issues with a few good branded kits that to be honest sapped a lot on modelling energy out of me. So, I took this HK Gloster Meteor out for the stash and set about it. Why this kit, well after all the issue and lack of enthusiasm, this kit didn't have many parts to it, considering the size 125 parts in a low count. Yes, ok, the low count does come with making the cockpit a bit basic, but you can do what you like to add extras to it, but this was a build and be happy idea. What HK did here was a good idea, if it was their idea, but its given a good base of a kit to build with a good fit and many things modellers can improve on. The stand out to me was the lower wing section....its one big part, now if certain manufactures did this, it'll be in at least three wing section (2x outer + 1 x Centre section) and two lower engine nacelles that would come with the fit issues to boot, so this as great. The decals that are in the kit seem to be losing integrity, breaking into many annoying bits from what I've seen in others builds, mine looked very dodgy even though I didn't intend to use them. I was going to mask all the markings to save all the decaling drama, which I'm glad i did. All paints are Gunze Mr Colour....love'em! Here it is.....

This is a little tribute to all the fallen during the wars, the pictures are of two of my recently completed 1/32 Hurricane and Spitfires. At the rising of the sun and at its going down We remember them. At the blowing of the wind and in the chill of winter We remember them. At the opening of the buds and in the rebirth of spring We remember them. At the blueness of the skies and in the warmth of summer We remember them. At the rustling of the leaves and in the beauty of autumn We remember them. At the beginning of the year and when it ends We remember them. As long as we live, they too will live; for they are now a part of us as we remember them. When we are weary and in need of strength We remember them. When we are lost and sick at heart We remember them. When we have joy we crave to share We remember them. When we have decisions that are difficult to make We remember them. When we have achievements that are based on theirs We remember them. As long as we live, they too will live; for they are now a part of us as we remember them I wasn't sure what picture to lead with, the black and white with the poppy in colour sorta caught the eye, but the black and white pilot invoked a few thoughts of the brave men and women from the war. We remember them.

I actually thought it was a D-11, but I titled it from the kit used. Either way, it's close enough for my liking 👍

Hello all, Here is my recent Hasegawa/Revell/Hobby 2000 Fw-190 D9 This particular kit is the Revell edition, which comes in a slightly softer plastic the Hasegawa version but still retains the good detail and fit that the original version did....so, no complaints there. This aircraft 'Yellow 10' was Piloted by Major Franz Gotz and was based in Flensburg, Germany in May 1945 and assigned to Stab JG26. All paints used were Gunze Mr Colour and i did most of the markings with masks which saves quite a lot of hassles trying to flatten the decals with the 'ole gloss-sand-gloss-sand routine. The cockpit was done using the Red Fox Studio set to add a better look....not that you can see too much of it but adds to the overall look. As ever, all critique taken and any question are also welcome

Yes, of course you can use it. Thank you for all the comments on this build
