I don't know why I did it, I don't really need it, I have a 1/24 typhoon in my stash and no real room for it. But I saw a cheap Airfix 1/24 hellcat, the highest bid was low, so I bid on it. I ended up winning the thing for $70. My wife is going to be pissed when that turns up.

Gotta loft?, garage,?Or any where to hide under the bed?until later,then its "oh this old kit I had it for ages" try to wear a halo at the time though.

Done. Happy to have this one off the table. It is a gorgeous plane and would deserve a better quality kit.

I built this a few years back. I sorta copied the bird on the cover of Time/Life book "Knights of the Air" One day I'd like to get a bird for FC skinned this way. I've seen Goring's bird, but this one is mine.

Lovely aircraft to fly, and tough as old boots for aerobatics. Concrete swan in the background too :)

Yes, will always be my favorite as my 1st solo.

 

If the ask21 was the grand tour er, I loved flying the junior as it seemed more like a sorts car  ....way more maneuverable .

 

I loved the K13 also because of its canvas old school  charm when it creaked as you turned in thermals.

It was a cool little kit , everything fitted really well.

Long time lurker here. After a past history of building wh40k sets, my interest in making model kits rekindled, but in a slightly different setting. So I wanted to show the community here my latest build. Which is a Revell type VII C/41 scala 1:144. This was the first time I used E Z Line and photoetched parts. Unfortunately, the photoetched parts belonged to an earlier version of Revell's Type VII, so they were not adapted to the ``Wintergarten version´´. But all in all, an experience that I learned a lot from.

I'm going to take a break from the IL-2 kit that I'm building to try something new.

I've bought these 3D printed I-16s in 1:200 scale to use in my Wings of Glory table top game.

 

902835878_IMG_20200420_174724686(1024x768).thumb.jpg.f00535d16cb7736e7344d016791cd837.jpg

This will be an exercise in painting small. I haven't decided if I will paint them all as part of one cohesive squadron or do a selection of schemes including winter. It should be a lot of fun in any case. I'll be sure to post up progress as I go.

 

Here they are with a selection of my official game models, all in 1:200. I have a couple more coming in the mail. A Lancaster Mk III and a Yak-1, both official models. I also have 2 B-25s and 2 JU-88 model kits in 1:200 that I hope to add to my game collection.

Does anyone else play this? I'm just getting started.

Let's shoot for good enough for now. What Feathered does blows my mind.

Some nice colours added. Not sure about the thick red chevron on the rudder though. Maybe I misinterpreted the photos of this machine.

Looking good STN.

Nice one Superflyer.

 

I like model aircraft depicted in photo's.

Shows a true aircraft rather than what records or regulations say should be the correct scheme.

 

Actual aircraft actually in service.
