  1. This is the 1:72 Academy USN EA-18G "ShadowHawks".

    The build is straight out of the box and airbrushed with a mixture of Tamiya and MIG paints. I have left this aircraft pretty clean, although I saw a picture of an EA-18 with almost green (I have used RML Grey) looking beaten up drop fuel tanks. I have added them to this model to try and break up the colour scheme a bit.

    Although you cant see it here in the photos - the iconic "ShadowHawks" wording is down either side of the drop fuel tanks.

    Here is a top down view into the cockpit - I have painted the internal cockpit in a medium blue colour which I think at this scale still looks a dark grey.

    Last picture is looking down the planes nose - showing off that typical FA-18 sleekness!

  3. Not sure if I am going to b chased out of town for this, but here is the Warhammer 40k version of a tank. If you ignore the Laz cannon sticking out the front, the overall shape looks like something from WWI with a large gun bolted to the top!

  4. Phew! I thought it was only me that hit the Warhammer stuff during this lockdown!! Very nice model love the colours! I just built a Leman Russ tank, may try and squeeze it into the armour section.....

  5. These models are from 1:72 Hasegawa F/A-18 Super Hornet E/F 'USS NIMITZ CVW-11 Special Box Part 1'

    Both models come in the same box and can be built as either both E or F variant.

    I  have done 1 of each. Patchs for each squadron are included.

    Here is the F variant from the VFA-154 Black Knights squadron

     

    FA-18F Black Knights

     

    FA-18 F Black Knights

     

    The 2nd aircraft I have built as the E variant with the VFA-147 Argonaut's squadron

  6. I saw a similar aircraft a few years back on the runway at Lakenheath Base in Suffolk. The aircraft seem to look rather patchy on the upper surfaces and there was a lot of soot around the gun opening. I also notice the front panel which covers the front wheel well was dented and a lot of the paint had been scrapped off. Speaking with a maintainer, he told me a bird had clipped the underside of the aircraft and bounced off air scoop and hit the starboard underside fin near the tail. I have tried to capture this little bit of damage on the front panel and a scratch on the air scoop with some more on the fin underneath.

     

    F16C - 1:72 Tamiya

     

    The model is by Tamiya and straight out of the box with sidewinder missles. It has the Spandau insignia on the tail, but you may spot just behind the cockpit decals from another squadron. I ruined the original tail decals and had to go with the Spandau ones and couldn't remove the Eagles.

  7. I saw a MH53-E fly over me when I was in holiday in Florida last year and thought I would love to build one. Managed to get close and a take a couple of pictures, she was quite a dirty beast so I have tried to show here as I saw her. So again this one is straight out of the box with no extras, but I did have a problem with the rotor head and you can see in the pictures! She also has the framework in place for towing (I think) the mine clearing sled.

    Look forward to your comments

    My picture taking is like my modelling I'm getting there!
