evening ladies... been a while since I have had any time at the bench (as I have been working on a real beauty decal set for the new 1/24 Airfix Typhoon..) but today got a little bit done.. ...can't believe it's a month since my last post - where does the time go? ...anyways..I had made some of the sidewall instrument panels and wanted to get the instruments kinda lined up now while they were still flat - so a scrap bit of card was used with the appropriate Luftwaffe 1/32 dials... ..then built it up into the console found in my references... ..also built up the sidewall and other area

thanks chaps :)/> ..got a few hours benchtime this weekend, so another small step forward... ..I cut out the kit weapons panel switch and fixed it to the cockpit false wall.. also added some switch gear from our PE.. ..the main sidewall is made from a scrap of thick card which needed some rectangular holes made in it.. ..the edges of these then needed bevelling as the real thing is some sort of pressing... ...scribed in some access doors, added handles and a hinge and started drilling out holes around the edges for the fixing screws... ..eventually had the false wall and pre

evening all :) ..managed to get a little bit done and maybe enough to be 'postworthy'... ..actually, I am embarking on my favourite part of any build - the cockpit. It seems no matter what the kit, I will always do my own thing - one day I will do a Tamiya Spitfire and part of me wonders even with something as good as that whether I will bin the instrument panel and start my own... ..anyways, after a lot of delving and rumaging on the web and in the manuals Matt sent I managed to sort of cobble together the detail on the fuselage wall on a print out. No special science, I just cut &

evening ladies :) so today was all about butchery - taking your nice new kit, thinking you know best, and taking a saw to it to cut it in half... ..I love the one-piece nose that come is the kit and I have spent some time admiring it as a casting achievement - however, I thought I needed to get in and work on the space in the cockpit and thought I would get frustrated trying to shoe horn things in - for example, I want to fully detail the side walls and add the pull down seat and all the other gubbins.. ..at this point I want to offer a public and very big thank you to Matt Low who shared

evening chaps :) got home to find the postman had been yippee ..now I have what I need to get started so thought I would share some pics for those that haven't seen the AIMs Ju188 resin kit before - top, top quality, I am really impressed.. before that, some other goodies - I got a 1975 edition of Scale Models as it has some good plans in it, I got the Wurth book and the ebay Fw190 arrived squashed from Korea - not that I care, I only want the BMW801 engine... ..these are the engine parts I will work with - the AIMs kit has engine fronts, but I want cowlings open so thought this would

Hi there folks.. My first build on ARC and while I also have a 1/32 DH Hornet on the go, my discipline has weakened and I am starting another project.. I figure all this stuff is in for the long haul so I need to just do my thing and enjoy building things :whistle:/> I am a big fan of the airframes the Luftwaffe created in the heat of battle and of those I figure the Ju88 was one of those white-hot designs that held a purity and level of adaptability that was rarely matched.. ..but it was developed... so I have been collecting parts to build a Ju188 – not the peak of development (and

Thanks Chukw just to say these are also released in 1/24 today... enjoy.... TTFN Peter
