That time of year

I have just started to compile my wish list for christmas. I know it's a bit early but if i start it now hopefully i will have got the kits i want before then and so i could start a new list.

• Hasegawa 1/32 Fw190 A-5
• Airfix 1/72 fighter collection
• Dragon 1/48 Focke wulf Ta152c

Really enjoyed this one

Not an aircraft that would be in my top ten but certainly a kit of it that would. A very nicely detailed cockpit and choice of canopies made this into one of my favourites in the cabinet. The only problem with it was of my own doing and that was the two black stripes on the tail went on a bit wonky.

My place of worship !

Just a few pictures of my Model room. The Fw 190 on the mat was the one that i started last night.

That'll teach me

I was trying to rush painting the Hurricane and it's all gone horribly wrong. I tried spraying the final colour without fully masking it up, and boy what a mess !

On the plus side it got me started on the 1/48 tamiya Fw190 F8/9, i can't believe how good a fit everything has been so far. Last week i had painted all the bits i could whilst they were still on the sprues, so it was just a case of dropping it all together.

For this project i am going to try and replace the gun barrels with some brass tubing and see what it looks like.

One of my Favourite kits ever

The 1/72 Revell Fw190 R11 (i think, can't remember now), it really is a great little kit and for under a fiver you can't go wrong.

My work station

This is my desk / workstaion call it what you will (the wife calls it a mess). You can see the 1/48 airfix spitfire Mk 22/24 sitting there in it's primer.

My little baby

I have just recently bought a compressor for my sins. Although i have 3 airbrushes the Aztec seems to to suit me well at the moment, i know some people can't stand them but i think it's a decent airbrush. I got mine for a decent price so i'm happy with it.

What's on the table

Well at the moment i have a 1/72 Revell Hurricane that is just waiting for it's final coat of paint and I'm just adding the final little bits to an Italeri Mirage III in Royal Australian colours.

I have just started my long weekend today so i should be able to get a couple of nights of good modelling time in.

I will post some pictures soon.

Hello

This blog will be about my love for model aircraft. Millie is my 20 month old baby who tries her best to stop my modelling time.

I mainly do 1/48 aircraft but i will go smaller and sometimes larger, as long as it doesn't require any sort of rigging.
