That really is a beautiful model.. beautifully finished... Guy

Thanks all, That’s very encouraging! Looking forward to doing another now! Guy

Yep, just from walnut veneer strip and the nail heads are dots of PVA. thanks chaps Guy

Thanks, Yep, I found it surprisingly difficult to get everything to look natural and not just dumped on... I had a load more stuff to add but ended up thinking less was more... Guy

Thanks all, It took longer than I thought, but it was all enjoyable! Guy

Hi all, Just finished my Wingnut Junkers. My first attempt at a diorama, and was a surprisingly steep learning curve! But great fun too. Aviattic resin Crossley trailer, fuel cart & figure. Diodump factory wall and gates. Home made plaster cast base in a picture frame. I hope to be taking it to Telford this year & will be in an upcoming ‘Scale Aviation Modeller’ magazine. Thanks for looking in Guy

Thanks Ray... and thanks Gaz, that’s a very generous offer.. I’ll try and source a helmet, but if I can’t I may well get back to you! Guy

Thanks for all the helpful input. Just for info, I’ve got a Kitty Hawk Sabre F-86K on the way, followed by their T-28 Trojan As an aside, where can I get a 60’s style pilot’s helmet? I’ve seen a few poised with models, but I’m struggling finding one on the web? thanks Guy

drool....

Stop press... Stumbled across an all metal finish of the Kitty Hawk T-28 Trojan... looks a super kit? Anyone have any experience of it? also there’s their Vought Kingfisher too.. Guy

I think the new Kitty Hawk Tiger F-5E has a natural metal option too (unless it’s painted silver?). Guy

Thanks - great Sabres! Ooh partial to RCAF aircraft... Guy

Thanks again, I’ll have a look at those. I’m surprised there isn’t a Tamiya quality Sabre F out there. As you say, all time classic surely? The Mustang of the 50’s. Guy

Yes, what a beauty. I’d snap that up in a NMF... Guy

Be serious! Nice 104 Gaz.. hmmm.. probably leaning towards the Trumpeter Mig 21 or the Kinetic Sabre. Guy
