International Scale Modeller

If the first group build turns out to be ww2 then I may just have to chose a P-51 as the subject. Not that I would curry favour with the moderators or anything!

We got our winner right here

I gotta get me that 1/32 tamiya mustang, it's just plain wrong it's been out this long and I haven't done it yet

Yeah I have gathered that Alclads take a bit of prep to get them looking right, but personally I think I got a decent finish on mine purely using Revell Aluminium acrylic, and a satin coat over the top.



*Not intending to hi-jack your thread*

Although I agree that using alclads probably does give a better finish still.

Yeah nice job gav, you should have out your pilot in there

Not a fan of using the pilots if I am honest. Prefer modelling these planes on the ground, cockpits open alot of the time.

Have put my pilot in my Seafire, and in the Hurricane as they are going to be airborne. My Mossie is going to be airborne, but will be pilotless! As the Revell kit doesn't come with one!

Awesome builds Paul and Gav!!

This is my attempt at the kit, Lots of firsts for me here, first time using enamels, metalcote, Mr surfacer and not taking over a month to build it! I think i could have done better if I'd slowed down a bit but I enjoyed this build so much that i couldn't stop myself! LOL Also first time using cellulose to help remove filler, almost shanked it! but think i recovered it okay!

As always brush painted OOB. Hope you like it and as always any comments or critique welcomed!
