David, That Hurricane is stunning ! The painting and weathering work is inspiring. 1/48 scale ?

Very nice work James ! The finish is very nice and it's obvious that you had to spend a lot of time with that boatload of decals. Fine job ! Chris

Great Work All ! Those are some BIG ones Tony B. - Nice ! Here are some older tool Airfix favorites . . . 1/72 Whirlwind /media/tinymce_upload/de9fd577e660acf97501964f7ceba32f.jpg 1/72 Bulldog (sans rigging ☹️) /media/tinymce_upload/b1718f387e8a480ea8c2b095da788a20.jpg 1/72 Gladiator (or was this a Heller ???? ) /media/tinymce_upload/d098bb49986b11c1e7694957f2201d75.jpg 1/72 Kingfisher/media/tinymce_upload/a81a115b72cf49725d6115aedb900556.jpg 1/72 P-38 Lightning /media/tinymce_upload/51cf22725d8654ad084c5742f11f12bb.jpg 1/72 P-40 Warhawk - converted to a Christmas novelty decoration./media/tinymce_upload/5939848379ab250b2f7b315de17afb30.jpg 1/72 Seaking/media/tinymce_upload/d0abd9252e183da8d57d4bd05fd46b90.jpg Chris

Nicely done null ! There is still alot of great modelling done with the older Airfix kits - and this is one of them ! Chris

Very nicely done Ratch ! That one will definitely stand out in the display. Thanks for taking the time to document the WIP too. Chris

Paul - Nice job on a unique scheme. And thanks for the history write-up too. Chris

Wow ! More unique, quality builds here. And some very prolific builders ! One question for you Ratch . . . I'm wondering about the history of that all-black Liberator. I've never seen reference to all black B-24's in any of my past reading - or in seeing other people's work. Chris

Impressive job Ron ! Alot of work and a lot of paint go into a kit that big ! Quality work there ! Chris

Looking good Jeff. This is a challenging kit due to its complexity. But it's a great fitting, really detailed kit too. Looks great so far. Chris

Very nice James ! That looks to be a beauty of a kit. And you've nailed it ! Chris

Looking great Ratch. Nice to see the build up progress - thanks ! And that is very well done paint work on an attractive scheme. Chris

Excellent Work All ! Particularly like Ratch's colorful Camel and Patrick's rarely seen Hart ! Chris

1/72 Grumman Avenger with scratched wingfold. Almost completed - only awaiting some pastel chalk weathering./media/tinymce_upload/2c196a3fb1729118194fa415e76f2375.jpg/media/tinymce_upload/96a3352a8677176dff7cfd89a6ad048e.jpg/media/tinymce_upload/e6dba7c273526867e91a94ecd6277833.jpgChris

Here is a rare (for me) foray into 1/48 scale: Spitfire Mk XII. /media/tinymce_upload/c54df4c496d58df7aef8c8f709ff1d23.jpg An even further, rarer, foray into 1/24 scale with the Mk I . . . /media/tinymce_upload/283c4bfd9bff869bf9f6bc873f71d603.jpg Chris

Very Nice work Peter, I really like the heat affected steel engine ring color, and the overall fading of the forest green. Very impressive paint work. Chris

Very nice work T. Looks like a complex build - but the semi-finished product looks great. Yes - somewhat Penguinesque - but that is one REALLY FAST penguin !

Nicely done Jeff. Nice work on scratching the ariel ! Chri

Take your choice . . . Recessed sink holes - or raised ejector pin marks. 😉

Nicely done Ratch ! I particularly like the camo pattern on this one. Chris

Very nicely done Jeff. Chris

Nice work Bish ! I can imagine that a masking set is huge help with a greenhouse like the 111 ! And you've put together a nice vignette with the crew. Chris

Oooops - Sorry guys ! I was late in getting to this tread - not until after I re-posted an original post two more times. I figured that I had an upload problem. Feel free to delete the redundant posts ! 😳 Chris

Looking Good so far Ratch - appears to be a very nice kit. Chris

Very nice build Dominic, At some time during the life of that A/C - the paint may have faded to EXACTLY that shade of green. 😉 Chris

I do like what you've done T ! Very nice build, scratch work, finish, and display. An all around quality build of a great subject. Chris
