So getting back to the subject, who's willing to post two photos... One of the first kit they posted and one of their latest..

OK Ian. A Typhoon was the first WW11 type. In the end i had to buy another to complete the mess I made of several parts. Over numerous hours it just missed the weight of two size sevens. Labour, not love, desperation to satisfy my determination which was in bundles but not matched by my skill. Part airbrushed with stinking enamels through a badger with the bottle underneath and a single stage brush. The remainder was hand brushed which was probably my best move in making this model. It is actually worse than the photo will have you believe. But it is there are on the shelf.


Second a Merlin latest aircraft. This a very enjoyable model and only one was purchased in the making. Some progress.

I think the first model I ever posted here was this Bf 109:

And most recently:

The presentation has improved more than the model making, partly because the way we show models now is very often online by a photograph


Cheers

Nice 109 Steve!


Is 1/48? or you ever been a 1/32 builder...?

[Guest]

Promise not to laugh and I'll show you mine.


This was my first effort after decades of no modelling, it was the 1/72 Revel Tornado, an excellent kit spoilt by hand painting. Made this model the same way as I did decades ago.

Wow Joe are you sure that Spitfire is your first. Very nice model.


At first I thought it was a Jersey aircraft until I saw the Maple Leaf.

Yep, it had few pieces and is generally considered a real shocker. One of Airfix's 'Aircraft of the Aces' series from the 80s. A02081 was the box serial.
