I put the 229 back in the box because I wanted to be able to actually have time to work on it, since it is a fairly involved kit. So, in the meantime, I started this big spitfire kit. This is the first Airfix kit that I have got this far with. No unfixable issues and the only seam that I find is...

It has always been difficult for me to comprehend the fact that those are models that you built, Paddy. Your attention to detail and accuracy are off the charts.

I really wouldn't know, Saul. I haven't messed with anything like that.

I just can't seem to find any 3D files for a 24 scale seated RAF or RAAF pilot figure. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I decided to start this kit now because if I didn't, I would never get around to it. So far, the kit assembles fairly well, but the instructions are lacking in the information area. Case in point. You get a choice for part G 50 or G 51, but for what reason? After about 30 minutes of searching...

OKC bombing killing 168, Branch Davidians. 16-inch turret on the Iowa explodes killing 47, and the most notable, for me at least, April 19, 1959, Linda Jeanean Colvin is born, whom I met in 1974 and after 20 years in the navy I married her. My teenage...

It is good to see you back on here. We need to get together for pirate Saturdays again.

Well, I cancelled the A-20 order and bought the new Airfix 24 scale Mk VIII Spit. I have been wanting to build a Grey Nurse Spitfire for a while.

Not a kit for the faint of heart, or someone who doesn't have the patience to do the cleanup and all the sanding, like me.

Two latest additions to my stash.

It looks right, Paddy, and that's a wonderful thing.

Is your camera a point n shoot or a "real camera"? :bigrin: The reason I asked is because you may have a lens that may not be up to your specs. Lenses can be an expensive solution. Right now, I can't justify purchasing any new lenses so that I can get away from my phone camera. I have DOF...
