State of play

Right !

At the moment everything is on hold, my wife is in quarantine with swine flu and i have been trying to sort the kids out and juggle my shift work. With some help from the in- laws i think we may have pulled it off.

My normal reaction when i can't get to do some modelling is to go and get some kits out of the stash and have a good read through the instructions and work out which paints I'll need for the job. If you were to look inside the lid of most of my kits now you'll find lots of numbers, i tell my daughter they are secret codes, i think she has now realised that they are just paint numbers.

A picture at last

This is a the Spitfire Mk XII that i have finished painting and decaling. At the moment this kit has it's undercarriage legs on and awaiting the rest of the sticky out bits and then the canopy and varnish coat.

A bit too far

Oh well i managed to make Telford this year but to be honest i wasn't that impressed. I think the journey up there took the edge off of what should have been a good day out.

It was great to see the Airfix 1/24 Mosquito and some of the other Airfix bits. The Revell 1/32 Typhoon looked stunning and so did the Tamiya 1/32 Spitfire.

The only thing i bought was the Kinetic 1/48 F-16 Nato kit, with over 450 parts it's a very heavy box and it only cost me £23, that's' a bargain to me. The only problem i see with this F-16 at the moment is that i think I'm going to want all of them.

Hmm what will i run out of first, money or space ?.................
