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:

if anyone comes across "ORIGINAL" pictures, not colourised, of Spitfires in the Desert i would love to see them My theory is that prop blast and high speed mixed with sand and high temps equals death to paint. of course people look at restored aircraft and other peoples models but i think the...

As the title says, check out this buy in France https://www.emarin-regard.fr/gn-jap.html

I have been watching what i think is a US TV show called Turn ? Set in the war of independence they keep referring to the British army (red coats) as the Royal Army. This mystifies me because the Army has never been the Royal army unlike the Royal Navy and the Royal Airforce . The army dates...

I built one of these a couple of years ago here https://modelersalliance.org/threads/fiat-806-gp-finished.156959/ For this reason i wasnt going to do thread this time but i think, as i plan to do something different this time if only to bounce ideas off the rest of you as most of this will be...

As I have already mentioned elsewhere my next plan is to do a civilian take on Italeri’s 1/9 Harley WLA motorcycle from the late 1930’s The kit depicts a military version and while it differs quite a lot from the civy version that’s mostly extra parts rather than missing parts. The big...

more and more i am finding this on multiple web sites especially those on the other side of the pond, (your side :-) )

The MFH car is all but finished but i am waiting on some micro springs for the exhaust, no doubt i will end up winding them myself but lets see what MFH can offer, its next day delivery from the UK. I do have a guy waiting for a Spitfire but i am not feeling it at the moment and no point in...
