Hey all, pictures soon, but this is the thread for my RAN Sea Fury. It's going to be using an Aussie Decals sheet in the EDSG over Sky scheme... I might invest in the Aires Cockpit/Wheelbay and Eduard Big Ed sets if anyone wants to sell them to me..

Hey all, if anyone has some Tiger Meet kits they'd like to part with for well bellow RRP ::) I have open hands (and wallets ;)) I'm going to build as many Tiger-schemed aircraft that I can, and from my current estimations, will climb well over 100... So if anyone has any tiger schemed kits...

Hey Guys, got one finished finally!! Lol, my Academy P-51D (CA-18) has been in the works for 10 Weeks and is finally done! My first attempt at panel variations on a NMF scheme! This aircraft served with 77 Squadron RAAF in Korea, after being kept in storage with 81 Wing in Japan between 1947 and...

Ok, I have about 13 WIPs on the go... I really need to finish some before I start another. Endless rounds of filler are really not my thing, so sometimes I lose interest in one of those models. I have about 7 models I wish to finish before the end of Oct... Hawk 127 - Up to decalling P-40E - Up...

My RAAF Hawk is being built alongside the Special Hobby Wirraway and Italeri MB326. This one is by far the easiest build, my only concern being the depth of the panel lines :-\ I masked and sprayed Humbrol Light Ghost Grey as a base coat and made the "camo" with about a 4:1 mix of Humbrol 27...

Hey guys, question. Is anyone willing to part with some kits? :-* LOL, I'm in Aus, so postage may hurt you. I don't really want to spend any more than $20 inc. postage for any of these kits, but I can always negotiate with you guys and make a fair deal. :) The kits I'm looking for: 1.Airfix...

Hello, I have broken my Badger 175's needle tube, part 41016. This part is required to paint, and I can not find any parts anywhere that will ship to Australia. RUBBISH! I can't find anything and when I do, they don't even ship here! Annoying. I hate this, why can't they ship here! Anyway, if...

Well, with 2011 BIG Spring Contest (big enough that someone voted one of my models for 1st place lol :o), I'm already gearing up for 2012... Not really ::) You guys should be super proud (right word?) with all of your efforts, this was one HECK of a ride... I can't wait for some of these...

Hello everyone, I have just started work on an old hercs with broken parts, and was thinking of casting my own parts. But to start, I am modifying an Airfix BMW 132 9 Cylinder Radial Engine, to have good detail representing the real engine. I also hope to build other improved parts like landing...

Hey guys, first thread outside the Big Spring Contest build. Done the camo on my Mirage IIIR and bought the SAAF RZ decals for it after the Armee De L'Air "old style" Academy decals broke on me, I think the SAAF scheme is striking. The yellow and grey need touching up (the yellow needs it...

Ok, hi people. My dad built this C-130 in the 80s, and in those 30 odd years, parts have broken off etc. So when he gave the model to me, I decided that as my last modelling splurge before I put my money into getting my wings, I'd buy the resources to fix her up to her former glory, including a...

I haven't started my Academy Hornet yet, and I was wondering whether it'd be ready for the contest. I might take pic with newspaper just in case...

Well... I need money for my modelling. I keep savings money in the bank, but I'm trying not to dig into that. (I'm saving for a PPL course which costs $15000 approx.) I want to buy new models, even if i have a few on the go and unbuilt, I dunno, just an urge to buy more So, yeah, No idea. Mabye...

Well, I've been working on my C-130E/H kit, depicting a RAAF "A" variant (?) for around 8 months... The seam on the top of that bloody kit was KILLING ME! My filler wouldn't work properly and would just not cut it for that immense seam... So, a spot of good luck was with me, as this week, I was...

I started the Italeri Gripen tonight... Cockpit tub 1/2 assembled. Very nice OOB details, I have used drybrushing and i have painted the cables/buttons like i couldn't do on 1:72 kits... Cockpit tub has decals... [attachment deleted by admin]
