  1. great pictures I'm going to start my Fly Wessex soon, do you have any details on the rescue Wessex on the stand, maybe build thread or more RFI pictures? Thanks rob
  2. Cockpit is unbelievable, you can read all the reviews you like but when you actually build this assembly its incredible
  3. Bomb bay mix Bit stupid to glue the bombs in, 5 have now been knocked out from handling, i wont do that again
  4. Wow that Lanc is amazing Thanks for your reply Woody, I'll order sets 1/48 staggered rivets
  5. hello woody and fellow modellers I am currently building Border 1/32 Lancaster and there are a few panels with missing or very light rivits I have used the 1/32 scale Archer rivits on the undercarriage covers which worked well, but there are also missing rivits on the fuselage top panel. The existing rivits that I want to keep are approx 0.2mm The 1/32 rivits are much bigger and would look out of scale compared to the surrounding rivits. Does anyone know the approx diameter of the 1/48 or 1/72 scale rivits?
  6. Amazing amazing amazing I nearlly binned my lighting build after many frustrations, now your phots make me want to get another
  7. Aviattic have great new website, easy to use with great graphics https://www.aviattic.com/?fbclid=IwAR21mtx2aZwliJ4XJONlE49Ui_7pU4iQP8DFRpR1WOX1t6zdFfmr28A2FbI
  8. yes David, it all comes apart. the only thing glued in is the undercarriage but that will be easy to cover up when painting the underside
  9. moving along nicely, the only tricky area is the fit of the inner and outer wings which needed a lot of filing How cool is this flare gun Making do with the space i have avaliable. Really i should be making 1/144th scale not 1/32 Great kit, although i might not be saying that when i tackle the outer engine nacelles Thanks for all your comments rob
  10. The stuka is by far the best superkit by Aifix (in my opinion) . i really enjoyed the build
  11. more work on this magnificent kit, wheel bays There are missing rivits on the cover so I'm using the last of my stash of Archer decals for these I'm going for interior green for the flaps, right or wrong who knows The fits of the assemblies i have built so far is incredible
  12. 1,000 kits avaliable New clear sprue New decals I wonder if they have made box bigger https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100063663186491
  13. I did some extra hoses/wiring from the bulk head to the engine, its all totally fictitious I did start to do some research on the wiring but gave up as to complicated. Nothing will be seen anyway. I'm still unsure about which version i want to build but leaning towards "still going strong" WSJ
  14. great build love your ideas concerning the interior colour, great idea to fade the black over base green. The additional wiring also lifts the whole area so its not all moulded into the wall look In fact i love it all, well done
  15. brilliant finish and thanks for all the information in your build thread I hope my Border Lanc looks as impressive when done
  16. I just want to add, that while building this kit I have terrible regrets that its not a WnW package. Shame on you Peter, you could have had the legacy of producing the best model kit ever....ah well at least we have this 3/4 finished version to build
  17. I thought I'd build one engine at a time, nearly done with the first...piping is completely made up and not accurate at all, but i'm happy with how it looks...just 3 more to go
  18. Engines were painted with Mr Surfacer 1500 Black Then some dry brushing Lots of clean up and lots of parts Brilliant so far
  19. such a good kit OOB, but that aftermarket stuff looks great. I'll follow along
  20. Great work Pete, this thread is great help as i just started mine, love your bomb bay and build tips thanks for sharing
  21. Hello Fellows Well here goes......its been sat in the dark cupboard for way to long, I'm not getting any younger, so I've decided to build this kit while i can. It will take a while as i plan to do it in stages so i dont get bored as i did with the WnW Felixstowe Engines first with bearers My plan is to expose 2 engines and with the other 2 covered dummy engines. I'll make 2 Rolls and 2 Packard basically because i have no idea what Lanc I want to build yet LET ME OUT!!! Fantastic plastic Test fit of engine parts If you have any tips or advice, please jump in and let me know I've been watching YouTube builds, because the instructions are giving me brain strain
  22. Ah yes, i also used Ali's canopy set, after cracking the kit part, fit is excellent
  23. Finished the Beast Airies Cockpit I didnt bother trying to fit the Airies exhausts because they dont See WIP
