Will be back in a bit as im just doing the final touches to the Cat ;)

Very nice Paul, will you be weathering that lovely white finish? :-o

The top deck colours look marvelous too! :ymapplause:

Airfix Blenhiem IV is complete ;)
The kit decals were no good but I had some for a Blenheim on the decal sheet I got to complete the Halifax thankfully ;)
Done as IVF L8800 of 114 Sqn RAF West Raynham in 1941 ;)

Just finished this one , Monogram [now Revell] F-4J Phantom II ;)
Brought from a collector at ModelKraft for £2.50 due to a water damaged box . Didn't effect the end result as it built up nicely and the decals settled suprisingly well [the kit is only 3 years younger than I am] :)
The decals depict a VF-92 "Silver Kings" machine whilst operating over Vietnam ;)

Very Nice Clunious, good to see some ordnance under the wings, did the kit come with the weapons? :ymapplause:

Thanks :ymblushing:
It did Xp , but I used some Hasegawa long fused MK82's [from a set which I got for the F-111 but never ended up using , might return to it and complete it sometime] as one of the kit examples was broken ;)

Yes another one 8-|
Airfix 1:72 Spitfire Mk IXc , nice kit let down by the decals again [gave up on the D-Day stripes and hand painted them instead] .
Looks good though :)

A pair of 1:72 Mossies are next , Tamiya BIV and Airfix FBXVIII [with Molins 6 pounder and Rockets (from the Tamiya kit as the Airfix ones look pants) , not sure if they used both at the same time but what the hell :D ] ;)

Edited because I need English lessons :))

Paul, there is an article about the TSETSE Mosquito in the latest AIRFIX magazine, well worth a read before you commence production!!! ;) ;)

Thats what I thought too but thats what the [admittedly b&w] pics in the Airfix mag suggest and also how the FBVI at Salisbury Hall is painted as well ;)
