  1. The sole Belgian Airspeed Oxford, pre-ww2 version. It was overall yellow. https://www.belgian-wings.be/airspeed-oxford-i-1939
  2. Hi all, Anyone has a good alternative in spray can for Humbrol 24, RAF trainer yellow? Thanks!
  3. Here´s the result. I learned a lot by making this kit and it was fun. I made a lot of errors but in all i´m not overly dissapointed with how it came out 😆
  4. Hi all, In the learning curve here and i´m faced with the problem of having too much scratches in the surface of the model. Is areas where i was sanding away the excess putty. Probably been using too rough sanding paper. Can these scratches be sanded out by (wet) sanding? Or any other tips/tricks?
  5. Very nice! Airbrushed or normal paint brush?
  6. A quick question on the colour of the primer. When having a red top colour, would a light grey primer work? Or better take a white primer?
  7. Thank you very much for the welcome and the advise. I'll keep you informed.
  8. Hi all, First of all, thank you for accepting me over here. To begin with, i'm from Belgium (Flanders) and a native Dutch speaker so please forgive me if i'm not getting everything correct right away laguage-wise. My own model building experience ended +20 years ago and was based on what i learned from my dad. So all ways of working from long before the internet. Now i'd like to restart with my 11-year old son. It's not the goal to produce award-winning pieces but to have some great times but nevertheless i'd like to make a model as good as possible. We'd like to start with 1:72 scale aircraft. The BAE Red Arrows Hawk starter kit looks like a great set to start with. Here's my step-by-step plan in general lines. Please advise me or correct me. All tips and tricks are welcome. whilst the parts are on the sprues, priming them with a primer spray (several coats)assemble the kit, painting smaller parts like cockpitmasking the parts like cockpit and spray/airbrush the assembled kittouching up some spots adding a satin varnish (spray)adding decalsfinishing with a satin varnish coat Does this sound about right? Thanks for your input. Chris.
