The books are starting to arrive! I really hope that everyone who's bought a copy enjoys reading it, and that it inspires everyone to build the superb Airfix kit. Have a great day!
@spencerpollard.bsky.social Got my copy of your Jaguar book today. Have flicked through it, looks fab. Will likely get the kit at some point, but expect to learn lots from the book regardless.
If you are building the brand-new Airfix 1/48 Jaguar GR.1A, this is the book for you. Grab your copy, today!

You can't use Mr.Color Leveling Thinner with water-based acrylics such as GW because it is designed for lacquers. Mixing the two together will result in a sticky substance that will gum out your airbrush and be impossible to spray.You can though, use Tamiya's X-20A acrylic thinner to thin GW...

Here's my latest model: Kingston House, Totnes in Devon.
Mixing traditional sculpting with 3D design and printing (the latter helped immeasurably by Drewe's Model Page), I was able to create this detailed façade in approximately 1/32 scale.
I hope you like it, as much as my client! :

The exact same colour scheme I modelled for my book. What an incredible photograph!

Convair F-106 Delta Dart
Talked to the pilot of this 106 at the 87’ Norton show and he said he’d be leaving early Monday morning. Got on the base near the old golf course on the perimeter road and took this, probably my favor...

It's also slightly misleading as the kit was first released in 1971! Nice work on your build by the way - it's really coming together!
