    Despite the age it is a very good kit, a candidate for the vintage series.

  2. You could put the axle into one of the body halves (don't glue), then glue a small piece of sprue behind it so that it doesn't slip into the body after glueing the halves together. Take care that the axle still spins. Later, when you are finished with painting, you glue the propeller onto the axle.

  3. Memories are made of this.
    I did this kit when I was a young guy. As the Hs 123 was always a favorite of mine, I gave her a second try and this time the result was much better. The decals of this version of the kit had been too stiff and weren't useable. So I searched in the spares box and found these ones of a Fw 190. The markings aren't correct but it looks right. 
    Paint brushed, weathered with pigments and finished with matt varnish by airbrush. 
    The swastika is censored because of legal reasons (Germany).

  4. In the last edition of Workbench we are asked:  

    Should Airfix be looking to re-enter the 1/350th scale ship market and if so, which particular vessels would be most popular with modellers? We are desperately keen to hear your views on and we would be grateful if you would let us have your thoughts by dropping us a quick e-mail at our usual workbench@airfix.com address.  

    Would you welcome the return of Airfix to the1/350th scale ship model arena and if so, which vessels would you like to see produced. On a slightly more specific note, would you welcome the addition of a Queen Elizabeth class carrier in this scale?  

    Any suggestions? So send your mail.

  6. I've read that in these days Bentley will re-produce 12 examples of the Bentley 4,5 ltr Blower of 1929 (perhaps because of the 90th anniversary?). Could this be a chance of a reissue of the Airfix model in 1/12 scale?

    Oh, no. Sorry, I forgot: No cars at all!
