Dopeys Dad

I completed mine as the mount of Douglas Bader.

I do like em big. Sorry about the FW190, I know it's supposed to be an Airfix site.

Very nice. My 1/24 scale Mk1B is awaiting build, I'm currently finishing off the 1/24 Ju87 B-2 Stuka.

I like them big!

What!!! No Junglie version.

My Airfix 1/24 Hurricane done as the mount of Douglas Bader along with the Bf109. I'm currently doing the MkVb Spitfire of Sqd Ldr Jan Zumbach CO of 303 Polish Sqdn.

Hopefully sooner rather than later.

It's advertised as sold out, as is the ME 109. Are Airfix bringing them back or just teasing us?

From Airfix in the last month or so, the Lancaster Blll and the 1/24 Spitfire. From Ebay, a PBY Catalina arrived today, and yesterday I ordered the Boeing B17 as a freebee from Airfix using my double points.

I've just got back into Airfix after a 50 year break. My wife bought me the 1/48 scale Spitfire 12. I've now got HMS Fearless, the 1914 Dennis Fire Engine, and after joining the "club" the 1/48 Gloster Meteor. I've pre ordered the 1/24 Stuka. Trawling through eBay led me to the Dennis, and also coming via Royal Mail is the 1/24 Hurricane and the 1/72 Halifax. This "new" hobby that I've talked about getting back into for years is getting expensive. Still, being a Gentleman of leisure now I must admit that I am enjoying it.

I'm new to the world of airbrushing myself. Like you I trawled through lots of research before buying. I've settled for a Timbertech ABPTS05 setup. Purchased from Amazon for £75. The kit incudes the compressor, airbrush, a selection of different size needles etc. I've yet to actually point it at a model, as I've been practicing on odd items, trying out differing pressures and distance from subject etc. With the purchase of paints, thinners, mixing pots and cleaning fluid, it's not a cheap thing to start up, but hopefully it'll be worthwhile in the future. Good luck in your endeavours.
