Not seen a Protar AJS model kit being built in ages. I see it's getting the usual Paddy treatment to upgrade it !! They made a nice range of motor bike kits back in the day. 60's / 70's I would guess. I would like to build their Greaves if ever I got a hold of one.

The epitome of a typical punter at IPMS UK Scale Modelworld show at Telford or the USA IPMS Nationals !

Paddy. You might well be able to obtain an airline with rotating tightening caps on each end. I would imagine that most airbrush suppliers should be able to supply one as the thread size is probably an industry standard on many makes of air brush? My three Badgers have the old thin hoses...

H&S are very good high quality air brushes. So is Iwata. Those two names get repeated over and over as favourites of modellers. I do think that there is a bit of a trans Atlantic divide with regard to brand loyalty. H&S and Iwata appear to be more favoured in the UK and Europe, although at one...

Interesting reconstructive surgery on such an ancient kit. I believe it was originally a Frog kit who's factory was in Margate. What was the old Frog factory is now the Hornby Airfix manufacturing site/visitor centre.

There are many 'working' museums in the UK. But other live transport museums don't carry the risk like flying museums do. It costs one enormous amount of money to keep those aircraft flying. Many would argue that the risk is too great as the exhibits are unique in many cases and the museum...

Looking good Duke ! A very nice build.

Hi Paddy In looking for another forum to use as well as this one, have you tried [email protected] ? There is another named Global Scale Modeller Forum worth a look too. HTH.

Very impressive WIP Paddy.

I flew in a Mil8 once when Malta Airways used them as a short haul ferry between Malta and Gozo. The experience was shall we say 'interesting' ! They were rapidly taken out of service when Malta became part of the EU. (Along with all the vintage buses) Tourists loved the old buses, but locals...

I sounded out Marshall Buck of Creative Miniature Associates about it they had any interest in obtaining Model Motorcars stock for resale. He was aware of Marvin Meit's recent death in December 2025. His response was that CMA has no interest in selling after market parts for kits either now or...

From our good friend Nick! A mate of mine has recently bought his Bentley Wire Wheel build set.

They certainly look good. A friend of mine bought Nick 's Bentley Wire Wheel build out recently.

MFH do appear to be quite prolific in their output. So maybe that is where the mistakes creep in. I would have liked to have a go at building their Bugatti 35B kit in particular but they didn't produce it for long enough for me to save up the shekels to buy one! Now going for stupid money by...

Another really superb classic car model from you Paddy. Did you modify the kit wheels to fit those spokes? They really set the model off well.
