Another display deck at The Hangar got a bit of re-arrangement yesterday. The Canadian 🇨🇦 section now has a couple of more early jets added. (The maintenance crew wore themselves out with all that maneuvering in this tight space.) - Cheers 🍻 #ModelAircraft

Making progress. The plan is to drop UV-curing clear resin into the portholes then sand and polish. I’ll use my vinyl cutter to make circular masks. This kit is ok, but it proves that ‘new tooling’ is not necessarily good tooling - a lot of cleaning up parts.

Nakajima A6M2-2...basically a Zero with floats. A 1970's vintage kit by Tamiya. Cheap and a quick bit of fun.

My 1:24 scale Seafire Mk.III is on loan to Sheffield and Rotherham IPMS and will be featured in their tribute to Eric ‘Winkle’ Brown display at Telford this weekend.
They’re a talented bunch and the display will be well worth a look 👍😊.

Been making steady if clumsy progress with the Italeri Sunderland for the #HeaviesGB
Paint looks a bit patchy but will hopefully come together.
Fun to get back into 1/72 after about thirty years....

Ok, it’s done for now. It’s off to the Aviattic stand at Telford this weekend (if it gets there in one piece 🤞) and I’ll finish the details and do a proper job on the propeller when I get it back.

The alignment jig works well 👍. There are four photo-etched braces which go where the struts join the wings and, apparently, they’re a bit of a swine 🙄

With the Shackleton nearing completion it's time to finish up a few other projects. Two unpainted dust gatherers, one shelf queen that is in need of repair and replacements and one that is going to get a good weathering.

After a tough few weeks I've finally found time to do some modelling. Slowly coming together - despite an absolute struggle with some terrible instructions lol. Hopefully get it finished in time. #histscalemodels

Situation recovered. Some clean up and refinishing and we’re good to go 👍.
Pretty happy with it now the wings are on.

Sometimes you head to the paint shop questioning whether you are ready just yet (but really you just need to move forward ) I figured the P-47 was good to go, the Mitchell… hopefully. It was more #ModelAircraft hope than a careful review… Not surprised… some seams still need attention
