Is that the 1/72nd or the 1/48th scale Banana Jet?

Its the 1/72nd version hence the enormous lack of detail

I hope it's a better kit than my airfix bucc was!



I was happy with it in the end, but, sooooooo much filling and sanding to do

Mine is the Airfix one too.... Yes there has been some filling and and sanding... Bit more to come too

1/48 Chinook now in the sale as well.... There are some really great bargains to be had here....My wallet is taking a battering at this place!!

Here is an upate on my Buccaneer... Looking a bit more like an aircraft now !!

Oh and for the record I hate raised panel lines!!!

Time for an update from my factory
Completed Hasegawa 1:72 Lightning F6 , choose the decals for XR725 circa 1968 Toronto Airshow where she was zapped by Air Canada .
















And my latest , Hasegawa 1:72 Luftwaffe MiG 29 in the 'Sniper 2003' [farewell tour of the USA] scheme











Now what to start next , the 1:32 BF109 i got at Wellesbourne or the 1:32 P-51D i got at Waddington

[Xplumberlives]

Nice work agent Cluny, I guess that's the lightning from the I.A. Day and the 109 from Wellesbourne!

[Cluny]

It is indeed the Lightning from the IA day , i shall work on the BF post haste

[RLN]

Re, the Lightning

As our missing Global Mod would say - sex wee.

[Cluny]

WIP shots of the 1:32 BF109G , only started it last night





Goes together quite nicely with no filler required
I still cant belive that this only cost £6

[Xplumberlives]

Yes indeed, £6:00 was very good value!

[Mayfly]

looks good Paul - will be interesting to see it finished

[Old Rigger]

Thought I would post a quick update on the Sentry E3D, still lots to do and getting the Rotodome on and aligned was a pig, but I am pleased so far:








Nice models being produced and displayed from the photos being posted above and some very colourful versions as well.

[Xplumberlives]

Keep up the GOOD work Mick, when are you building a 1/72 scale AWACS Hangar?

[Old Rigger]

Hi XPL, thanks for the idea, unfortunately I have no idea where the model is going let alone if I was able to make a hangar to scale, I reckon I would need another room for it.

[Mayfly]

Well done all don't think I would have the patience

[Cluny]

Looking good Mick
More wip shots of the BF







The mottling was done by drybrushing and still have more to do

[Old Rigger]

Cluny she is coming along nicely, I am still sharing the painting between airbrush and hand painting as I seem to be getting the hang of the airbrushing technique so far, so being a bit more adventurous.

I bought the latest Model Airplane International and it has the Trumpeter 1/24 BF109 build, I am not sure how much is part of the kit and exactly how much he has scratch built, still impressive modelling which I don't think I could get even close to .

It is nice to get these magazines occasionally to keep up to date with new stuff and third party add ons/upgrades. It can be an expensive hobby, but then I suppose the same could be said about other hobbies/sporting interests.

So, the Victor is still in progress. DON'T BUY IT!!!! Nothing fits together, well I say nothing, some bits do fit together but when it comes to fitting those bits to other bits..........No Chance!!

I was also upset to hear that the airfix valiant has been put back to next year

[Cluny]

Decals on at last







Just need to give it a coat of matt vanish and then weathering

[Xplumberlives]

Nice work Lofty, very good for £6:00!

[Old Rigger]

Decided to have a break with the Sentry so here it is in position and when I have got a better set of photos from work I will try and get it done in the new colour scheme, or at least as close as I can. I had to make two of my own mushroom ariels on top, the black one came with the flightpath etch set. Might do the Jet provost T5 next once I have done some radiator covers for the wife

[Xplumberlives]

I hope you've strengthened that ceiling Mick!!!!!

[Old Rigger]

I was a tad concerned , but the model has an 85 gram weight in the nose and I reckon the whole lot weighs no more than 1 lb and I have given the hook a good tug and it stayed there, the line I used is 3 lb breaking strain fishing line. I still expect to come home one day and find it on the floor

[Cluny]

It shouldn't be to much of a problem , I had a 1:48 B-1B Lancer hanging from my ceiling for a few years till It broke in half [the model , not the ceiling]

[Cluny]

Finished











Next

[Xplumberlives]

Very nice, I look forward to finding mine in the loft in a few years time!
