Ratch Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Coastal Kits do some useful stuff, and that's a much better presentation Randall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SD45elect2000 Posted November 8, 2022 Author Share Posted November 8, 2022 I'm going to get some others; I agree it's a nice way to photograph the models.Randall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SD45elect2000 Posted November 20, 2022 Author Share Posted November 20, 2022 I'm not certain I posted these two. Regardless, they never made into my spreadsheet, I assume they were never photographed. Randall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SD45elect2000 Posted December 6, 2022 Author Share Posted December 6, 2022 I got some more photo backdrops from Coastal kits in the UK. The Defiant is one of my favoritesRandall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ratch Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 I like to have three or four concurrent builds, but that looks scarily disorganised, Randall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SD45elect2000 Posted December 25, 2022 Author Share Posted December 25, 2022 I like to have three or four concurrent builds, but that looks scarily disorganised, Randall.Yes, it looks horrible. I made a pile of them for this picture. Usually, they are put away in a roller toolbox and not all piled up like that. I have a few that are nearing completion, I'm waiting for paint for a few others. Randall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SD45elect2000 Posted December 25, 2022 Author Share Posted December 25, 2022 I think you are going to need a bigger hanger Randall!!!!!!!GrumpyI think I got it handled. I have enough storage/display space for all the big RAF planes. I'm just getting started I have four Lancaster's to do yet. In addition, I have 4 or 5 Stirling's and the same number of Halifax's.After I broke the canopy for my Blenheim, I bought three more. So yeah, I "think" I have enough space for a while.

SD45elect2000 Posted December 26, 2022 Author Share Posted December 26, 2022 One down, 15 to go. This is the one that gave me fits with the canopy. I can see I am going to need some bigger or multiple backdrops for the larger aircraft.Randall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SD45elect2000 Posted December 31, 2022 Author Share Posted December 31, 2022 I really enjoyed building these. Many more to do. Randall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SD45elect2000 Posted December 31, 2022 Author Share Posted December 31, 2022 Very nice Airfix kit. Now I am hooked on two engine RAF planes, I could use a really nice Hamden.Randall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic Thomas Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 They look really good. Thank you for sharing them. I like the backgrounds and you’re right about the bigger aircraft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SD45elect2000 Posted December 31, 2022 Author Share Posted December 31, 2022 Thanks Dominic, I am having fun with all these Airfix kits, there may be some merit in building my own backdrop for larger planes. I’m building a bunch of large RAF planes now.Randall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SD45elect2000 Posted January 3, 2023 Author Share Posted January 3, 2023 Here's my take on an Airfix kit. I may need more; I like the kit. Randall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratch Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Is that the 1/72 or the 1/24 kit Randall? I built the 1/24 with those markings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SD45elect2000 Posted January 3, 2023 Author Share Posted January 3, 2023 Hi Ratch,1/72 scale , the Airfix kit decals were amazing the way they behaved,flattered that you couldn’t tell the scale !Randall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SD45elect2000 Posted January 4, 2023 Author Share Posted January 4, 2023 This is a pretty one. I have three more to do.In the background you can see some of the others I've done so far in this "binge"Ratch, my workbench isn't as chaotic as it was earlier.Randall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratch Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Randall, it would be really good to know which kit you're showing. Is it the old 03019 or the new kit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SD45elect2000 Posted January 4, 2023 Author Share Posted January 4, 2023 Randall, it would be really good to know which kit you're showing. Is it the old 03019 or the new kit?Yes, it's a newer kit, a very good one at that. I didn't know there were older kits, I may need to get some for the collection. So far, I only have these Airfix ones and a group from Tamiya.I really like this kit and that has been true with all of this group of Airfix kits I've built over the last few weeks.My own incompetence has cost me two canopies, certainly not the fault of the kit.Randall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratch Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Clearly it is the 1/72 Mosquito mkXVI kit.I don’t know the kit numbers but the other kits made by Airfix are for fighter types. I can assume it's 1/72 because that's the scale that Randall builds, but Airfix have issued 4 Mosquitoes - 1957 02001, 1972 03019, 1995 03062, and 2021 A04023.I ask because one can appreciate the work if one knows the starting point.
