I am currently on holiday in Normandy. And today we visited the V-1 site at Val Ygot. The Tempest was one of the planes used to intercept V-1’s. So that was a nice link with my current build. https://i.postimg.cc/Pf7JLVBK/IMG-0719.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/C59xWdj9/IMG-0720.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/k...

Yea, reading glasses, I am still getting used to mine A little update. I have decals for only one Tempest (can’t complain for 1 euro). So one Tempest is going to be in RAF colours. And the other one in captured German markings. The so called Zirkus Rosarius used several captured allied planes for tr...

Firstly, get well soon!

And secondly, I just got the same Super Metallic paint. Looks like they are as good as I hoped.

Lastly, I really love the Pucara. I have the Special Hobby kit so I will use this tread as reference.

Wonderful work on a wonderful kit. And Indian colours will be a nice variation. You don’t see that very often.

I have been very busy lately and building some very simple Revel mini kits to get back into the groove. I recently bought a Hellcat and two Tempests for two euros. One of the Tempests is missing a canopy so I am going to heat smash two new ones. I will use the canopy of the complete kits as a mould....

Thanks guys! I got some neat modelling gifts and I will post them shortly !

Very nice save on the short shot wings. I love the MiG-3 but I don't have the ICM kit. Quality control seems a bit of a problem. Maybe I should keep the Trumpeter kit on my list...

That looks great. But also a whole new skill set to acquire. 3d printing is rapidly changing the after market manufacturers. Cool that you are working on your own 3d stuff.

Some times you find the best deals in the weirdest places. I bought a few second hand kits at a flea market for a few euro's, or picked up new Revell Starwars kits at the local discounter. It never hurts to keep your eyes open for those hidden deals and treasures.

I love Polikarpov's, that is one of my favorite subjects. Your looks magnificent!
