Any more details? I've been looking for a decent 1/72 hangar kit for years. That one looks ideal.

In an attempt to get back into modelling, I have been digging out some of my modelling gear. In a house move a couple of years ago, my compressor ended up upside down in a box and some (a lot) of the oil leaked out. What grade of oil should I use to replace this? I don't have a manual and searching ...

Just because you are taking a break from modelling (never say never), it doesn't mean you have to completely divorce yourself from the forum. Although it's been a while since I stuck any bits of plastic together, I still visit the forum for my modelling fix. I might even get back to modelling one da...

Nicely done. That brings back a few memories.

The narrow strip of unpopulated land between Worthing and Littlehampton (Goring beach area) was known as the Littlehampton low-level transit area (LLLTA).This was very popular with fast jets and Hercs in the past as one of the only places to coast out between Brighton and Southampton. On it's initi...

Callsign 'Marham 03'. I was landing at Shoreham when it called up. After I touched down the tower asked if they would oblige with a low pass over the airport. I was held on the runway to give them a clear run. Best view in the house!

Although my modelling is currently on hold due to a house move, I do occasionally have a look in here. I started this thread when I was planning to do an NI-spec Gazelle. I still haven't got around to finding the correct pods so I would be very interested in a couple of resin heli-telly pods in 1/72...

Hi everybody. As some of you will be aware I have been absent from the modelling forum for a few months. This was due to working away from home, and on the short visits I had back home modelling, unfortunately, had to take a back seat. Now I am back home and working within commuting distance I shoul...

I've managed to source a Nite-sun which did, indeed, come from the Matchbox Chinook HC.1 kit. I can't vouch for earlier Airfix Chinooks having Nite-sun, as the only ones I've seen are the later Italeri re-boxing. I've also got an Italeri MH-47 kit which I acquired second hand - unfortunately it does...

First update, I had almost forgotten the simple pleasure of painting small pieces of plastic and sticking them together. I was in a bit of a hurry to get some progress on this, so I decided to forego using the airbrush and reverted to a hairy stick for the the interior. The airbrush wiull make a ret...

Hell F_M what were you doing? You've come back and can't even get the GB hosts right! Oops! I got my hosts and builders mixed up. I meant to talk about "ianf's Airfix build for Deacon's FAA GB", but i edited the text and didn't read it again. Sorry! I think I may have mentioned the Lynx b...

I'll also be using an Eastern Express kit when it comes time to build my Snipe for 78 Sqn, so I'll be watching this one with interest (particularly the rigging!).

Unfortunately, I've had to take a break from modelling over the past couple of months as some work came up which meant me being away from home for a while. I was even tempted to change my username to "flying_rozzer". Being away meant that I missed a couple of GBs I had planned on entering,...

A very late finish, too late for the end of the GB, unfortunately real life got in the way of modelling! Anyway, here's how she turned out: http://i610.photobucket.com/albums/tt188/flying_medic/yf22-4.jpg http://i610.photobucket.com/albums/tt188/flying_medic/yf22-2.jpg http://i610.photobucket.com/al...

Coming along very nicely, indeed.

F_M

Nice little collection you're building up there, Geoff.

F_M

But, as is often the case with some of these poor kits, the finished result is worth all the effort.

F_M

What scale is this, Ian? I'm guessing 1/72. If so, that's outstanding work for an all-metal kit.

F_M

I'd forgotten you were doing this. Very nice indeed.

I must admit that I am a Gannet fan too. It falls into that category: "so-ugly-it's-beautiful". Nice work sor far, Rod.

F_M

I've got a Swordfish somewhere in my stash (not for this GB, unfortunately). I would be very pleased if mine turned out as nicely as this.

F_M

I've not seen the Eastern Express kit before, just the Special Hobby one. You're doing a fine job on correcting it though.

F_M

I'm looking forward to a masterclass in how to do rigging!

F_M

Just seen the pics in the completed builds section, that has turned out really well; and I have to agree that this is possibly your best so far.
