https://flyer.co.uk/feature/shuttleworth-pilot-ok-after-triplane-crash/ I shouldn't laugh but the guy was unharmed and its a scene straight out of the film really. what other plane could you land in a tree and walk away :)

I posted a mesage on the MFH build site on FB, not the factory site, you cant post there Anyone built the MFH MS11 ? The instructions dont show where the breather hoses from the rocker boxes go on the D version and the kit doesnt have the 4 hoses ( 2 each side) coming from the body to the...

Work has started on my MFH Matra MS11 F1 car ........or at least the engine :) Before i could get going there were 80 holes to drill in the above castings, mostly 0.8mm thank god for these electric pen drills :)

While in-between builds i was looking through some web pictures for 1968 pit stops like you do :-). My thinking was my next build would be an F1 car and while F1 cars today are clinically clean and they are built and maintained in a surgical environment, back in the day i used to go to Brands...

I have been following a couple of sales on the internet auctions over here 2x 1:8 scale model of a 1932 Alfa Romeo Spider Touring One looks to be nicely completed and one fully boxed with sealed bags, the complete one went for £80 GBP and the boxed unstartled went for £100 GBP Both these...

MFH now introduce a new model on the 24th of most months. That's fine :) The model for April is the F40 above, it was released for pre order this morning at 10AM Japanese time Therefore the buying window in the US would have been approx. 10PM to 2AM ie: the middle of the night. I say this...

not hugely exciting but original colour film and look how dark the two tone camo is. i think this is right because all other colours seem correct.

Flight Lieutenant Colin Bell, aged 105 and the sole remaining bomber pilot who operated the de Havilland Mosquito during the Second World War, was received by the King at Buckingham Palace on Wednesday. During the audience, the King presented the veteran with the citation accompanying his 1945...

At the risk of being repetitive and becoming boring my plan here is to continue my "alternative version" theme. The problem was I never kept any of my models so now I have retired and closed my motorcycle business , I have some space which I never had before. I would like to replace some of my...

Sorry i called in at Goodwood airfield today but i only had my phone with me. An unusual spitfire in PR colours but 2 seat MkIX never seen a 2 seat in blue. A giant Airfix Spitfire, looks like the guy had trouble with the roundels. and way off in the distance a Havard/T6 making a lot of...

When you spray a decal mask like a roundel on a British aircraft over the camo, what do you do with a light colour like yellow ? I dont want to use a white base as i want to be able to chip and wear it in place ?

has anyone tried to work styrene sheet or the plastic people like Plastuct use ? i have tried to get it to bend and stay where i want it but it ends to go back to where it was over time. I am wondering about making Mudguards in 1/12 ?

These auctions are a monthly occurrence here but i thought by way of a change and a bit of fun i would post this one as it has some US stuff. You can scroll through the lots after you have clicked on one item with the next lot button top right. Note the Camo Pyjamas made from a US silk...

Are there any tips for using panel line paints ? I have some Mig paints , what they PLW panel line wash. In the videos the guy touches the panel line with this stuff and it pings round the panel line almost instantly. I have tried everything and it just sits in a blob, with my latest project i...

Here we go again and a massive departure for me from recent builds. This is often described as the greatest kit ever produced but I suspect most would beg to differ. Nearly 400 parts on 22 trees +clear and 2 PE sheets make for a pretty comprehensive model definitely not aimed at the beginner...

Something i have never been good at is seeing a colour and being able to break it down to its components. This petrol tank is supposedly silver but this colour looks spot on to me and its not really silver. Lets face it paint manufacturers idea of silver is usually a bit odd as they try and...

This is a project I shelved years ago as I simply didn’t have the know how to do what I wanted to do. As usual with these old kits the spokes in the wheels are 1mm, scaled up that’s 9mm and it spoils the model having double thickness spokes. ~you don’t have a chance of fooling anyone its not a...

https://www.italeri.com/uploads/news/m0H2ETdXEaGQXiJMctrQbfhwFy7xwUJRornocTdM.pdf for me there is an all new 1/12 Mercedes vintage race car and 1/9 Matchless G50 vintage racing motorcycle so very pleased :-) Shame i just bought the Matchless in its original Protar form :bash:
