  1. Thank you for the comments and compliments They are very appreciated.
  2. Fly's 1/32nd Arado 234. Not a bad kit. Some fit issues, some some very nice details, including resin parts & photo etch. I added after market belts, and cut open the canopy hatch so the interior can be better seen. Painted with a mixture of Mr Color, Tamiya acrylics and Humbrol enamels. The RLM81 Braun Violett was a bit of a problem. I got three different manufacturers' version of RLM81 and they were all different and they didn't look like any paint chips of Braun Violett so I mixed my own version. I like the look of the shade and I am happy with how it looks I also used airscale decals in the cockpit as the kit's instrument decals were not very clear. Its a shame Fly didn't include a bomb for the centre line position, though they do make one, available as an aftermarket option. Thanks for looking. Angelo
  3. Thank you very much for all the comments and compliments. They are greatly appreciated
  4. I managed to get hold of Revell's golden oldie, the Huey UH-1D As it was the "attack variant" it did not have the crew seating and I wanted to build it as a troop transport so I scratch built the seats with plastic rod & masking tape, I also scratch built the pilot's armoured seats from more rod & plastic card. Some more internal detail was added using plastic card, and i opened up the engine grills and placed etched mesh in the openings. After market was used for the seat belts, from Eduard, and for the instrument dials, from Airscale. Various bits were salvaged out of the spare's box, such as the M-60 machine guns and the decals. I used Tamiya acrylics, and Humbrol enamels to paint the Slick. Thanks for looking Angelo
  5. The sad thing is that some people are waiting to pounce on new releases to be the first to find fault, genuine or otherwise. It seems to be their sole reason of existence
  6. Again, Thank you for all your comments and compliments, they are greatly appreciated

  8. This is the HPH kit of the Me 410. Cast in resin with an extensive etch set, including coloured parts for the cockpit. The kit went together relatively well for a resin kit, no major fit issues. Transparencies were cast in clear resin and were thin with fine detail. Painted with Xtracolor enamels and the decals were from the kit too. Thanks for looking Angelo.

  10. With today being the anniversary of the recapture of the Falkland Islands, I thought I would post up my Sea Harrier. The Airfix 24th scale Harrier has been around since the early seventies. It was re-issued with new parts to allow it to be built as the FRS-1. For it's Size it is a basic kit, with basic detail in the cockpit, and other detail sacrificed for working features. I decided to have a go at updating my model. I got hold of Flightline's extensive etched set plus some resin parts from Heritage aviation. Heritage aviation's stuff was a big disappointment! Poor casting finish, rough surfaces, air bubbles and the mould were obviously past their best. The Intakes and wheels were all I used. The rest of the details were scratch built. I completely scratch built the ejector seat and I used the 2D etched part on the airwaves set for the nose undercarriage plumbing to make a 3D version from plastic card, rod and lead wire. The model was painted with Xtracolor enamels and the decals are the kits, representing a machine from 899 squadron which had been involved in three shoot downs during the conflict. Thanks for looking! Angelo
  11. I like that, very much!
  12. Thanks for all the comments & compliments, they're greatly appreciated!
  13. I do not like bi-planes! Too many wings, and the rigging is a stuff of nightmares!!! Then along comes ICM's superb Gladiator. I have always had a soft spot for this aeroplane, despite it being a bi-plane. An absolute joy to build with no fit issues at all! Everything went together perfectly. I used some aftermarket seatbelts, and the decals are from AIMS. The chequerboard on the top wing disintegrated when I tried to apply it, so I had to paint it on. For the overall aluminium dope finish I used Tamiya's flat aluminium. The rigging was done with flower arranging wire. It was pulled and stretched taught before being cut to length and superglued into place. Thanks for looking Angelo.
