Hi Everyone, I'm really hoping someone out there can help with some advice! I am currently building the Academy F-15I Ra'am in 1/48th scale. Unfortunately, however, I am missing sprue B which contains the nose cone - something rather important and beyond my adilities to scratch build! I have...

Hey everyone, so, after my foray into weathering, I've decided to call time on this model. Its not perfect, but after a coat of Humbrol Satin Cote, it's not looking to bad either. I'm not too pleased with the underside. But apart from that... It now has pride of place on my...

OK, so I've been giving the weathering a try. I wanted to do exhaust stains, chipping and a pin wash and this came out all right, not great and down right terrible, respectively. First I added the exhaust marks on the underside... ...and then attempted a pin wash I just found it...

Hey everyone, and thank you for the comments. I've completed fixing the decals, and while they took a bit of getting used to (you only had to threaten to show them to some water for them to be ready to fix!) once I got the hang of using them, they were pretty good. There also weren't nearly as...

So I've only done a bit of work on the model the past few days, as the weather here in the UK has been unusually good, and I've also had the added distraction of being able to see all the flight displays from the Waddington International Air Show from my back garden! I have, however, added the...

Update on the painting. The underside was masked off and the base colour (NATO green) applied. The camoflage pattern was then masked off. In the past with this type of angular German design, I've painted free hand, but I'm hoping by masking I'll get much cleaner lines. The darker...

Yes, definitely. I've been really impressed, so much so that on the weight of this kit, I've bought an Fw 190 from the same Eduard 'ProfiPACK' range. There was one slight problem fitting the wings to the fuselage, with the level of the two components not quite matching. Such was the quality...

I'm fairly pleased with how the build is progressing, despite spending longer that I care to admit on my knees searching for dropped little bits of undercarriage. I have managed to find all the components and assemble the troublesome undercarriage And paint the underside of the plane...

I had been linking photos from my SkyDrive, but have changed to Photobucket, so hopefully this will solve any problems. Sorry for the amateurishness!

Just a quick update on how the build is progressing. The wings are assembled... ... and interior painted and put together Wings were attached. The fit wasn't perfect, but this was solved with some trusty green putty. Finally, the nose and tail attached. Thanks for looking, more...

OK, so I've been working on the interior, which was a joy to put together, with the photo etched details providing more of a challenge, although I guess this was to be expected! Thanks for looking, more updates soon. Adam

Looks utterly amazing, Chris. I was wondering how you achieved the chipping effect?

Wow, your Bf 110 looks amazing, I'm sure mine will be no competition!

Hi Everyone, It's been a while since I've posted anything, but I thought I'd like to log my upcoming build of an Eduard Messerschmitt Bf 110 in 1/72 scale. Having just finished reading Len Deighton's brilliant account of the Battle of Britain in his book 'Fighter' I wanted to make something...

Thanks for the advice FlipFlop, and no need to apologise for the essay, I appreciate it greatly! I used a white wash to try and create the effect of wear along the panel lines, but I guess black would have been a better way to go to emulate shadow, I’ll definitely try that with the next one...

Hey everyone at SMA! I'm new to the hobby and the forum and was hoping to get some comments/pointers from everyone here. I'm currently working on a Airfix 1:72 scale Hurricane, I've attached some photos showing where I've got up to (or at least I've tried to, I hope I've figured out how to do...
