Firstly, thank you to Ratch for the advice on suitable colours for the Recovery Set. Secondly, thank you to Airfix for producing a thoroughly enjoyable and satisfying model to build! Rather than a blow-by-blow account of the build process, I'll just say it was fiddly and at times quite a challenge, but it was one of the most enoyable builds that I've done.
So here's a picture to start with:
/media/tinymce_upload/b89887b7ebf2c37ffc95dee0c7e00673.jpg
I've added a few figures from other bits of the diorama that I've been working on over the last few months, but otherwise, with the exception of course of the aircraft being recovered, it's very much OOB.
/media/tinymce_upload/759eeb56e9a96661d9d80404b51732ea.jpg
The aircraft was modelled as LZ-X N3035 of 66 Squadron at Kenley, which was seriously damaged on 29th September 1940, and apparently took ten months to repair. The tarpaulin cover was made from a paper handkerchief folded, and soaked in PVA, then painted once the glue had set.
So here are a few more pictures - thanks for taking a look and hope you like what you see!

I know that once upon a time it was possible to get and Airfix version of a Spitfire Vb to model as that flown by Jan Zumbach, but it's no longer available, and I couldn't find one anywhere on t'interweb. so being inspired by reading the really excellent book on 303 Squadron (by Arkady Fiedler - strongly recommended!) I found some after-market decals of Zumbach's aircraft, and the A02046A 1/72 Spitfire Vb and the build commenced.
/media/tinymce_upload/af396a41b889802d107e7741b251add3.jpg
First of all, it's a surprisingly old mould -
/media/tinymce_upload/ba2d20563197821b4ca09e034b83c4e5.jpg
- which meant that there was no cockpit detail (with the somehat surprising exception of a reflector gunsight), and also raised panel lines. As far as the lack of interior detail was concerned, I scratched some generic side-wall detailing, and decided to be very brave and get rid of most of the raised panel lines and scribe some of my own.
/media/tinymce_upload/9d7baac2baffb395c0fee214e8883192.jpg
/media/tinymce_upload/0926104770b2f4594033f044ee40e1c1.jpg
The lack of any wheel-well detail was a particular problem, as there was simply a large void, so plastic strip was formed round a suitable paintbrush handle using the hot water moulding method, and a blanking piece then inserted (with a bit of generic rib detail):
/media/tinymce_upload/cd1fed418e5bef5538a29502ff66d612.jpg
/media/tinymce_upload/4a3ea38b22ccfe49be28a338b795f452.jpg
/media/tinymce_upload/04c4187efca6af463ef02eb85237e6c1.jpg
/media/tinymce_upload/f99c3b725b904ccce0868a20136b1823.jpg
Thereafter, although there were one or two fit issues (requiring a modicum of filler - not really surprising on such an old mould) it was a very straightforward and enjoyable build. As usual for me, all the painting was brush applied using Vallejo Model Air acrylics. In the next picture you can see my attempt at panel lines (they look muuch better from a distance...)
/media/tinymce_upload/e5f7592534a2e8f71458931e3201340b.jpg
And so the final few pictures show the completed model:
/media/tinymce_upload/a135633ccac7009217ced7fb4d5e0f1c.jpg
/media/tinymce_upload/7eae14621c794945c911b11c398b39c7.jpg
/media/tinymce_upload/a71e37ab89f352344d3e71ca0a942f71.jpg
All of which I hope does justice to the kit, and especially pays tribute to Jan Zumbach, a very brave man who - along with his Polish comrades - fought so valiantly for Britain, so to finish, here's a picture of the model along side Jan Zumbach (as featured in Arkady Fiedler's book "303 Squadron - The Legendary Battle of Britain Fighter Squadron" publ by Aquila Polonica):
/media/tinymce_upload/5c5deac490cae56363eda05b5b631710.jpg
Thanks for taking a look...

I had intended to post this on VJ Day as a little tribute to 'The Forgotten War', but '403-Forbidden' prevented me from doing so! Anyway, I had decided that I'd have a bit of a break from BoB and European theatre modelling, and so I managed to get hold of the 1/72 Hawker Hurricane/Sea Hurricane MkIIc kit (A02096) which was going to be built as the SEAC aircraft. I also built a P-47 Thunderbolt - unfortunately not from an Airfix kit (because I couldn't find even a second-hand one...), but I felt the Hurricane needed the company, although as far as this post is concerned, I'll focus principally (in every sense) on the Hurricane build.
The Hurricane is a relatively old mould, and so the cockpit side-walls were devoid of any detail (though surprisingly, the wheel wells had some), so the first stage of the build was to scratch a bit of cockpit detail and also produce a suitably attired pilot for the aircraft:
/media/tinymce_upload/9ba6e4b2771db559951a709a258ea23b.jpg
/media/tinymce_upload/11bbd22da0e3e057f05ed322ababb0eb.jpg
Thereafter, the build was more or less OOB (including the decals which were for an aircraft of 34 Squadron, SEAC based at Imphal between 1943 and 1944) except I did scratch-build a reflector gun-sight as well:
/media/tinymce_upload/3ec81df612a4f3ef14efb04ab460b78e.jpg
/media/tinymce_upload/0b7105a0cbcdbef8fa03ee9c3d4024be.jpg
/media/tinymce_upload/b93e5bd46cbb018e150ebbae69152a2b.jpg
I enjoyed the build (including the scratch-built bits) although I have to admit that the P-47 was a much more modern moulding (why isn't there an up-to-date P-47 in the Airfix range?) and thus the Thunderbolt was built as belonging to 134 Squadron based in Burma in 1945, using after-market decals.
/media/tinymce_upload/b892a62dc080a8d285e274212d1c587e.jpg
And here is a final picture of the two together:
/media/tinymce_upload/52f3301d35976d3a241ce0098f549f9d.jpg
Hope you like what you can see - and as mentioned earlier, it was good to build a little tribute to SEAC to commemorate VJ Day.

At last able to post a reply with pictures! Here's my Airacobra effort for 601 Squadron showing the decals I used, including the 'home-made' one for the tail-fin-flash.
/media/tinymce_upload/478f1e54b5099a5227d4d7513e2b0a71.JPG/media/tinymce_upload/3ead5852d628356bd19e6a91758f709f.JPG/media/tinymce_upload/3d00811683372e45bf3c0d238bd7f0b7.JPG

I've just seen your reply Ratch - many thanks (again!) for the advice - Khaki Green it is then! When I've finished, I'll post some pictures (always assuming the '403' situation is resolved by then!
-
Aha! That explains why they kept disappearing! Sorry I put them in the wrong section.
-
I’m not sure why a series of posts that I was involved in has simply disappeared. Perhaps moderated out of existence, moved elsewhere or a victim of the dreaded ‘403 Forbidden’? Anyway, I’m still having a dilemma about what colour to paint to my ‘Queen Mary’ trailer and tractor unit for a diorama set on an airfield in England in late 1940 to early 1941. I’ve decided definitely not RAF blue, and I’ve narrowed it down to either Dark Earth or Dark Olive Green. The only colour pictures I can find with dates show a 1940 version in dark olive green, and a 1943 version in Dark Earth/Black, so I guess green is the way to go. Any advice gratefully received before the hairy stick swings into action!
-
I've answered one of my own questions - Valejo Model Air Intermediate Blue is more or less an exact match for Humbrol 96 (RAF Blue). The other question however remains: what colour should I paint the Queen Mary trailer and tractor unit? I note the comment from Paws4Thot - I was under the impression (possibly mistaken) that Dark Earth was used as a vehicle colour by around 1941/42, so perhaps Bronze Green might be better for 1940/41? As to the theatre, definitely England!
-
Anyone got any idea why I can't post any images in a reply to this thread. All I get when I try is an error message saying "403 Forbidden".
-
I built my 1/72 Airfix Airacobra as one being flown by 601 Squadron. I used generic roundels etc, and simply added squadron and aircraft code letters from a sheet from Hannants. The only addition was the winged dagger squadron emblem which I printed myself to produce a decal to go on the tail-fin. I seem to recall the only build problems were getting enough weight into the nose to stop it being a tail-sitter and and also remodelling the canopy and cockpit side so that the ‘car-door’ could be open.
-
My diorama has a leaning towards 1940-42 although I have got some 1944 invasion period as well - but basically early war years. The bofors gun and tractor were 1940 so I guess it makes sense to standardise a bit!
-
I'm posting this in the Aircraft section because it relates to aircraft, but I'm perfectly happy if the Moderator chooses to move it elsewhere! I just wanted to say a massive "thank you" to Airfix Customer Services and the Spares Department. I'd been looking forward to building a 1/72 Vampire T11 for a while, but when I went to open it and have a look I discovered that part of one of the wing sections had not been moulded properly. A quick e-mail to customer servces elicited a reply including that it could take up to 28 days - so I was massively grateful and very impressed when the replacement part arrived (safely enclosed in bubble-wrap and in a padded jiffy-bag marked 'Fragile') only eight days later. So very many thanks! I've included a picture of the defective part and the replacement bit - restores one's faith in the system quite considerably

Some forum members were kind enough to commend my efforts in making a tribute to Eric Lock, and so I thought I’d post a couple more of my “Aircraft of the Aces” that I completed during the lockdown period. So here are two of the aircraft flown respectively by Robert Stanford-Tuck and by Douglas Bader.
/media/tinymce_upload/d080203c4c279d6d8c431d7f91490a78.jpg
Starting with the Stanford-Tuck Hurricane, I’ve built it as the aircraft flown by him in September 1940 as Acting Squadron Leader of 257 Squadron, based at RAF Coltishall. /media/tinymce_upload/7dc17b69f9819d1e6e34c4571a2d36c3.jpg
It was built from the 1/72 scale Hawker Hurricane Mk I (Gift set!) A55111. With the exception of the squadron codes and the serial number (DT-A V6555), and the ‘kill’ symbols along the side of the area forward of the cockpit, everything else was straight out of the box. /media/tinymce_upload/23fe48f0cb974a864d4ff1ba2d894cb4.jpg
As usual, it was painted using brush-applied Vallejo Model Air, then sprayed with Vallejo Matt Varnish which I find helps to blend the decals, but also mutes the colours slightly without the need for any pigment filters being applied. /media/tinymce_upload/161784ea59cd2ea49c1fdadc7330de4a.jpg
/media/tinymce_upload/ea126207adbd260a0f97cfcf11d0990c.jpg
The Spitfire Mk IIa represents the aircraft flown by Wing Commander Douglas Bader, OC Tangmere Wing in March 1941. /media/tinymce_upload/0f35fcab22af4b33b910cd523e1da816.jpg
I have to confess that it is not built from an Airfix kit. I couldn’t find a Mk IIa Spitfire currently in production other than the one made by a company beginning with a ‘R’. You’ll be aware that the only visual difference really between a Mk I and a Mk II is the slight bulge of the Coffman starter on the fight of the fuselage just behind the airscrew: /media/tinymce_upload/db929455bd7b9d84fadbf59054f0db97.jpg
It does build into a nice little model – obviously I’d rather it was an Airfix kit, but sometimes “needs must”. It was a "Spitfire Fund" aircraft, the money having been donated by the Isle of Man; the 'Manxman' decal was home-printed.
/media/tinymce_upload/af6b879ac5caa5327d7294c3fd1d4813.jpg /media/tinymce_upload/804abef5281249c8a9e46d77b48ad0a4.jpg
Again, it was brush-painted using Vallejo Model Air, and other than the decals, was also – like the Hurricane – an OOB effort.

Hope you approve!

In a separate post in the Wishlists section of the Forum, I posted that I'd been "fighting" with an old-mould Tempest Mk V (1/72 scale Airfix A02094), so having at last finished it (or got it to the best point that I can), I thought I'd post a few pictures.
You can tell from the box that it's a fairly oldish mould - although I suspect from the amount of flash that I had to remove and the amount of filler that I had to use, the moulding is even older than the packaging!
/media/tinymce_upload/a8c0f5d95f41cec65784c75e2db43aa6.jpg
As I guess was usually the case when it was originally produced, the interior was distinctly lacking in detail - not even a pilot, so one came out of the spares box, and a few token bits were added to the cockpit sidewalls, and seatbelts added (painted masking tape strips) so that Wing Commander Roland Beamont could take the controls:
/media/tinymce_upload/fe87445b2fae970c04ac5aeb3a5415bc.jpg
Other than that, it was a case of OOB building. I referred earlier to needing to use quite a lot of filler... there were huge gaps where the upper wing didn't come anywhere near the fuselage (on both sides) and the styrene along the top of the fuselage both in front of and behind the cockpit just wouldn't 'mate' properly, even using Humbrol Liquid Poly. I used mainly my 'go to' Vallejo Acrylic Plastic Putty, though I also had to resort to some Humbrol Model Filler - but hopefully, you can't really see the join on the fuselage forward of the cockpit!
/media/tinymce_upload/2f2038cbab54a0122da446939ada6490.jpg
I had already decided to paint the Tempest as JN751, flown by Wing Commander Roland Beamont of 150 Wing RAF Newchurch as of June 1944 - not least because as a self-imposed task I wanted to try combining brush painting (my usual mode of decoration using Vallejo Air paint) with some hopefully well-masked, selective spraying (using Halfords rattle cans) for the invasion stripes.
/media/tinymce_upload/6fa16e55c060bc88ac30194a6e31d735.jpg
The decals used were a combination of those that came with the kit, and a few from the spares box (for the R-B lettering, for example). For some reason, although the decals that came with the kit were seemingly relatively modern, the roundels were three separate decals, which to get to conform to the raised panel lines required each layer to be separately applied and softened with Microsol before adding the next layer, in register. I have to confess that the yellow wing edges were a decal rather than painted.
/media/tinymce_upload/6f82d36c0e14af9ef1029fda00c444bd.jpg
To blend the decals with the brush painted (for the most part) aircraft, and in terms of the year represented, I wanted to show the Tempest as being painted in the S-type finish that would have been in use by then, so oversprayed the whole thing with Humbrol Acrylic Satin, hence the hopefully visible yet subtle sheen. Doubtless that's what enabled the Wingco to fly fast enough to shoot down 31 V1 flying bombs!
/media/tinymce_upload/02b9ddb24b826c43bf33b89c7ec236c6.jpg
So there we are, another build completed. Other things to mention - the moulding was produced before the exhausts came as separate items, meaning that they had to be very carefully painted in situ; I could have sanded off all the raised panel lines and then rescribed them, but then it wouldn't be the same model, would it? Quite challenging therefore, and definitely confirms my view that a new-mould 1/72 Tempest V is needed to go with the superbly produced Typhoon. Thanks for taking the trouble to look, and just to finish with, one final picture.
/media/tinymce_upload/1e45da9d2588b56d5c3e019bd15a466b.jpg

As well as a new mould Fairey Battle, it would be great if the RAF Emergency set, the RAF Refuelling set (both 1/76) could be added to the Vintage Classics range, along with the Control Tower but here's the thing - make sure all the accompanying figures are in proper styrene rather than polythene - and also release the 1/72 RAf WW2 and Luftwaffe personnel in proper styrene, and having nearly finished fighting with the old mould Hawker Tempest mk V, how about a new mould version in 1/72 to go with the brilliant Typhoon?
-
I'd certainly be in the market for a new Fairey Battle. I built the old one but I've learned a lot about modelling since and I'm sure I could do better next time. And given that prices of the occasional old mould that turn up on flea bay are upward from £30, there must be demand out there!
-
I'm indebted to Ratch for the advice and pictures that were posted in answer to my plea for information regarding colour of Bofors guns in the early years of the war, and on the back of the advice and information received, I've now completed the model! Fiddly little thing to build, but definitely adds to the diorama.
/media/tinymce_upload/e86061f746b66c7e255fc7fd289a2b6d.jpg
The sandbags were homemade, using Milliput - rolled into 'logs' then flattened and chopped up with a knife and left to set, then built up using PVA. They were painted using mainly Sand Beige Vallejo.
The model itself was painted using Vallejo paints and the inevitable hairy stick. The next picture actually shows the most fiddly bit of the whole build - very, very carefully drilling out the muzzle of the gun barrel!
/media/tinymce_upload/c7d0013aa582bce83766dc0aca92ca9e.jpg
And now a view from a different angle:
/media/tinymce_upload/9882ffbb3942e377e4aac9cc2715de4f.jpg
Because Vallejo Air acrylics dry to a not totally matt finish, I sprayed the figures with matt varnish after initial painting, then painted the helmets separately. I used Vallejo Khaki Green for the battledress, and Khaki Brown for the gaiters.You can also see that I've chosen to support the gun on its jacks, with the axles rotated to raise the wheels off the ground.
And to finish off, an overhead view (which reminds me I need to put a bit of 'grass' on the base of the officer with the binoculars...):
/media/tinymce_upload/915290d423da154bb43fd8a6dc981fe9.jpg
Hope you like my efforts!

As the Battle of Britain officially started 80 years ago today, I thought I'd post some pictures of my build of a couple of Airfix 1/72nd scale aircraft, modelled as they were in Summer 1940. First of all, here they are together:
/media/tinymce_upload/185947a87a0b07460a4c2484d1520b86.jpg
So looking at them in turn, the Spitfire was modelled as KL-B P9398 as flown in 64 Squadron by Al Deere from Hornchurch (although during the BoB, Manston was frequently used). His 'Kiwi' motif was self-printed, and the other decals were a mixture of those that came with the kit and some from Hannants. For the record, Al Deere finished the war with 22 confirmed victories.
/media/tinymce_upload/e8ed58c7c8c2bc04cea01e9887304c2a.jpg
/media/tinymce_upload/1bbc0406b1061cee576fffa86ad55e0b.jpg
/media/tinymce_upload/0cf7580cae018c8cdd2b95cd0c0b16f6.jpg
The Hurricane is shown as that flown by Dennis Noble. It is P3179 FT-Y of 43 Squadron based at Tangmere. It's also the airframe that has subsequently been discovered and excavated and can now be seen in the Tangmere Museum. Sadly, Dennis Noble was shot down and killed on 30th August whilst intercepting a raid by Heinkel 111s.
/media/tinymce_upload/ea5dd4d3d5aab924967f8a589daeff8d.jpg

/media/tinymce_upload/5a9fefaf72837087f290090672510d1c.jpg
I'm sure that with the next two months being an extended anniversary, we'll see lots about the BoB in the media, and it was a fitting tribute that this morning's news covered the funeral cortege of Dame Vera Lynn, and also a very moving flypast tribute by two Spitfires.
As already mentioned, these two models are largely OOB 1/72 scale. Seatbelts are made from painted masking tape, and I've kept the canopies open to show a bit more detail, enhanced by using a razor saw to have both aircraft with the doors open. Both were brush painted using Vallejo Air acrylics. And I might just post a few more of my BoB models over the coming weeks - but I hope you like these two to start with - shown lastly from a slightly different angle.
/media/tinymce_upload/a1116e8147e37257fa23230c8ada2bdd.jpg

It's definitely an 'older' kit - the inside of mine revealed that it was made in 1975 - but apparently it's quite an accurate model in terms of the dimensions and dumpiness.
/media/tinymce_upload/07773e2c58bb6d2cc2478dda89b12cbe.jpg
This meant that the interior was somewhat featureless - so I added a control panel using a DIY decal.
/media/tinymce_upload/7f1021ddc9e8f9fcfe7edb87cd834e39.jpg
I decided to finish my attempt as one of the aircraft that fared so badly against the Zero in the Far East, so I used some decals from Print Scale which feature the aircraft flown by Sgt Williams of 67 Squadron in Burma in 1941 .
/media/tinymce_upload/606cec321a2d3b58a17df548eae726a5.jpg
You'll note that at the beginning of the campaign in that theatre, SEAC light/blue/dark blue roundels and fin stripes had not been introduced, so the aircraft were in dark green/dark earth with black and Sky undersides and 'normal' roundels and markings. I decided I couldn't face the thought of trying to get rid of the massive amount of excessive rivets - it's what it was back in '75!

/media/tinymce_upload/6037ec220b64a9c93e6ccb7a3c710c67.jpg
So here are a few more views of a different version to that featured on the box!

I've tried several times to rejoin/renew my membership. I recieved no automatic notification (in spite of having sent the e-mail to request it weay back) and all I get when I try to rejoin/renew is an Error 404 message. Does this mean that the new system has already collapsed? Not at all happy about this.... I wanted to renew as a Club Plus member so I received the Club special edition model. I've e-mailed the contact adress, but no reply as yet. Anyone got any suggestions?

That's brilliant - many thanks for the info and the pictures

A pretty comprehensive list of participating aircraft in the BoB (which will be useful to anyone who wants to emulate what you're doing Pete) - however, and I'm ready to be told I'm wrong, but according to one book I've recently read about the BoB, 808 Squadron FAA based at RAF Castletown flew Fairey Fulmar patrols over Scapa Flow and were listed in September 1940 as part of the Order of Battle - which is why I built one to add to my BoB collection. Unfortunately it's not an Airfix model - I don't know if Airfix ever made one - so I built the offering from the company beginning with R.... But anyway, here it is....
/media/tinymce_upload/13917c2e66e506fbfd715d18290e9729.jpg
And as an additional thought, if you go dowen the Battle of France 1940 route, as well as the Fairey Battle as a light bomber, don't forget that the Blackburn Skua (also FAA) was also apparently involved in its dive-bomber role.

I have a question about the 40mm Bofors gun and Morris tractor. The box art depicts a scene in (presumably) the desert, and I gather that the decals that come with the vehicle are 8th Army markings. However… I’ve decided that my airfied diorama (about which I recently posted on this forum and which is steadily expanding…) requires an anti-aircraft gun, and I understand that the Bofors was in use on airfields in England – but (and here’s the question) what colour would the gun have been, what colour would the Morris tractor have been and what colour uniforms would the crew have been wearing on an airfield in (for the sake of argument) late 1940? I understand that AA guns, although commanded by Gen Pile, were under the overall control of Fighter Command, so if on an airfield, would they have been manned by RAF crews or by Army personnel? I’ve looked at lots of images, but nothing really helps. My best guess would be to paint the tractor Dark Earth, and the Bofors gun, but what about the crew? Khaki or RAF blue? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
-
Thanks for the kind commernts T2B. I heartily concur with your thoughts regarding the soft plastic figures - as you say, those produced by the 'other' company are much easier to clean-up - so I've added another figure and persuaded him to lean nonchalantly on an unexploded bomb!:
/media/tinymce_upload/b92ccfc1106a0b910a78af1d09064589.jpg
I've also added a refuelling lorry (from the Airfix Refuelling set). I decided to use the Bedford QL, but not painted in yellow and blue (as suggested in the instructions); attaching a fuel line to the boom was tricky, and to get the groundcrew to 'hold' the other end, I drilled out his hand and superglued it. The pipe is a piece of fine wire from an old USB cable. It's worth noting that the figures from the refuelling set are made from normal hard styrene, so it's obviously possible!
