Lovely stuff! Very well done.

A bit more progress on this build. Wings tail and engines are glued on. It has been primed and sanded with 1200 grit wet and dry sandpaper and the surface is silky smoot. All set for the next stage - painting. I won't start that yet to allow time for the filler and glue to shrink. Either way, I can't start painting yet as I don't know what colour scheme I'm going for! .... The problem is that mine is an old issue kit and the decals are past their sell by date!

Actually, the P1127 was a kit many wanted ....i want it and I still haven't managed to get it!

Interesting John ........Incidentally the Beach Buggy was in fact re issued last year. I bought one!

Hi Jeff you are a kindred spirit! I too build to a scale of 1:600 and though I have all the Airfix 1:600 ships, I've only built half of them. I am mostly interested in liners. Unfortunately, the Airfix range is rather limited so I too am into scratch building. My "fleet" numbers around 50 ships some 26 of them being liners. Most are scratchbuilt. I tend to post one or two pictures on this site of each scratchbuild as I complete it. This doesn't promote any other manufacturer so it should be fine.

To an extent it is possible to post pictures of kits by other manufacturers on this site but one must remember it is an "Airfix" website not a general model making site. Hence it should not be used to "advertise" other manufacturers!

WOW .... I've been after one for donkey's years ........ Lucky you. I built one some time around 1970 .... it was amazingly detailed for the time. I think you can get a vacform shroud to cover the open base .....but then you lose all the detail .....

Looking good!

You need to get to the Airfix Forum. The page looks like this. Then click on the box "Airfix" in the menue on the right hand side. This will untick all the boxes which will become white - empty. Then tick the subjects you are interested in your case Aircraft, military vehicles and Humbrol (techniques, tips.......) and you will only see the ones you are interested in. ou will see a list of different sections ....
