Static Plastic/Resin

[Olicat]

Not sure, i like to do 2 (or usually more) kits at a time to occupy me while i wait for it to glue or dry.
Edit:
Later on in the day i got a 1:72 Ju88A-4/D-1 and a 1:72 Sea Harrier FRS1

[Lucas1860]

Great stuff, should keep you busy for a while.

[Olicat]

yeah, i've still got a revell lanc and spitfire to make, and a tamiya meteor

[Lucas1860]

Very busy indeed.

[Xplumberlives]

I am trying to get hold of several of the Revell 1/48th Scale Harriers, hopefully new stock will arrive during January!

For XPL and any other modellers here tonight.

What are your favourite modelling subjects and why?

I used to do WWII aircraft when I was a sprog but I have never tried anything without props. My artistic skills are near enough zero ( never used an airbrush and always left fingerprints all over the A/C) so what are your favourites and what would you recommend a 'born again' modeller to try?

Telly is crap (after Dr Who) and the family have now gone home. BTW Dave do you know of any good ghost stories concerning Wittering or Cottesmore?

I'm looking at Cold War stuff at the mo, like WW2. I prefer 1:48.

I like a decent size (1:72 or larger) iconic naval aircraft, like a Gannet or a harrier, i dont know why though

[Xplumberlives]

Not built much for ages, just don't have the time, have been stockpiling in the loft, ready for retirement in about 25 years time, so far have at least four 1/48th scale TSR2s, about six 1/48th Buccaneers, Canberra, Nimrod, Merlin, Wessex, Sea Harrier and that's all I can remember.

Very very nice!

Whatever catches my eye , mainly in 1:72 [for space reasons] but I do dabble in larger scales now and again

[Olicat]

Started the SHAR last night, cockpit finished this morning...


The Cvix is a skill level 4 !
The Wyvern has Photo-Etched parts for the cockpit, and appears to be very nice looking!
And the Ju88 has quite a bit of flash, but i havent given it a good look.

[Xplumberlives]

Keep up the good work, what colour scheme will the SHAR be wearing?

[Olicat]

XZ451-Falklands 1982-all dark sea grey except the black nose cone.

[Xplumberlives]

Nice!

[Olicat]

On one of the schemes the registration is for a Lynx helicopter not a sea harrier (how??)
Nice print BTW
Wyvern cockpit, the parts that aren't painted dont need painting



P.S. Photo Etched parts are really annoying!

[Xplumberlives]

Following the demise of the RAF/RN Harrier Fleet, I thought I might build an example.

So up in to the MODEL STORE/ LOFT and the first one I found was purchased from EBAY for £1:70.



I will keep you updated as I progress the build.

Just finished the Sea Vixen , just waiting for the final coat of varnish to dry before taking pics

Can't wait mate, is it a good kit, they took long enough releasing it!

[Cluny]

Its not the Airfix kit mate , its the Xtrakit 1:72 kit I abandoned on page 8
Its a interesting kit which requires a lot of work to put it together but it looks good

[Xplumberlives]

Very nice, will you be putting any weapons on her?

[Cluny]

No weapons in the kit and I havent got any Red Tops or Firestreaks in my spares box

[Lucas1860]

Nice example.

Have you got any 2" rocket pods or 1000 pounders?

[Olicat]

Looks like we'll have 2 XP924s on here (i plan to do my 1:48 Cvix as XP924)
