As promised #scalehistmodels friends, an update on the Fairey Gannet 1/48 airfix project … this is turning into a wonderfully complex challenge, esp as I’m doing an Ark Royal version with folded wings. Highly recommend this kit. Weighs a ton with anti-tail-sitter measures! #scalemodels

Here’s the first view of my 1/35 Airfix K2/Y ‘Katy’ Ambulance in 1942 Western Desert livery. Grubbier than I planned and I know there are several errors. LOVED this build. Highly recommend. Will work on diorama after my hiatus. #ScaleHistModels #ScaleModels #HistScaleModels

What an amazing thing to come home to … I have such fondness for the Lysander. Can’t wait to try this new #Airfix tooling. #ScaleHistModels #ScaleModels

The good news, #scalehistmodels, is that the intended scene should work out and look quite convincing.

In other news, I’m never building a Border kit ever again.

Well, #HistScaleModels friends, here are my final photos ahead of my own personal D-Day … an Academy Grumman TBF Avenger I’m working on. I love doing cockpits. A way to go but a start has been made and a good place to lay things down. #ScaleModels #ScaleHistModels

Just saw a photo of Mr Farage holding a #ScaleHistModels kit of a Challenger tank … made by a Japanese company (Tamiya) … not quite sure his ‘patriotic’ messaging is working … #scalemodels

Time for a #ScaleHistModels update … on my 1/72 Dambusters Lanc … sooo annoyed that I’ve screwed the painting of the canopy up so I will need to redo + various recoverable paint issues but I’m on my way … now worried I won’t be able to get the masks off the fuselage windows as well. Ho hum!
