F-18's all in 1/72 at least 10 of the hasegawa F-18A thru D variants 2 each of their E and F model bugs 1 of the revell F-18E 2 of the italeri RF-18A at least 10 of the academy F-18A and C variants

airfix harrier GR3 in 1/72. one i built in my teens had a warped fuselage, which i couldn't fix. never, ever again will i build one.

easiest way of turning a RoG F-16B to a D, is to use the B parts from the boxing with the shaw AFB based B on the decal sheet and combine these with the C model that has the mountain home and spangdahlem decals on its decal sheet. this is the option that i am going for eventually. then i guess you can add the various resin and brass aftermarket bits to do the varying other options. trevor [back after an extended absence]

thanks ken. i'll compare these to the kit.

on sunday last at the coventry model show i bought this kit. it looks good but then i think that the square cabin windows look undersize. does anyone else have this kit and confirm this? it will be built as a Hind-A. trevor

yesterday.... 1/72 RoG F-14D Tomcat 'Last Flight'

if memory serves me correctly aeroclub have done a jetpipe correction piece too.

that jeremiah weed is stern stuff! yeah telford was great fun even if my wallet melted under the strain.....

the 12 sqn buccaneer, XV868.... painting isn't finished and i haven't even started the decals loggin off NOW! :)

fujimi A-4C and TA-4J/F in 1/72 nice to see the box art again and at the very nice price per kit of £7.99

hmm, RoG Fairey Gannet AS1 [and isn't this a much nicer kit than the trumpeter Gannets?] airfix BAC Strikemaster just of note regarding the RoG gannet, the canopy pieces are very thin and fragile. mine were broken on opening the box and i have had to write and ask revell for a replacement set. trevor

hmm, as a member of the what-if? sig tha's a challenge..... at the very least we do have porkpies and twiglets and as you well know a reputation to uphold. haydn! i hope the compressor gets fixed soon.

hmm, managed to mislay the A-10 decals i was gonna use...... :( but there are other options in gray for the A-10 in USAF markings i have, :)

you and who's toon army, mr brown! pleased to help here if i can :( you know where to find me, worse luck, :)

i have started varnishing a HP dart herald using the gloss varnish in RoG's aquacolor range. goes on very well and dries good and glossy too. :D anyone else using them? trevor

yesterday at antics coventry..... 1/72 italeri F-16 kit [its the one with those KLu diana markings on the tail, ] some tamiya polishing cloth [anyone else ever used this stuff, its £6.99 a pkt] the really wide tamiya masking tape roll

hmm, yeah! beer...... around beer! someone has to now rival the BC and aeroteam SIG's..... A-10A now ready for varnishing tonite! :) trevor

me? panic! hmm, the RAF100 stuff for the wif sig is about done but...... blackburn buccaneer A-10A [for the USAF SIG stand, btw ] 2 off A-7 F-18C all still building, groan!

yesterday at the coventry model show..... all 1/72 avro vulcan lockheed martin YF-22 vought pirate and several decals sheets. the first two kits are of airfix origin but i am lost as to the provenance of the pirate.

all being well, i am looking at making my 3rd trip to the USA and visiting the US nats' next summer! will be bringing several what-if models, and for some reason one of them involves an F-22 in a modified NASCAR livery, ;) trevor

nothing for a few days now, as i am awaiting a replacement card, but.... i do have plans for two 1/48 airfix harrier GR3's i bought at the weekend, one real world and the other whiffed.

i'm NOT scared..... and i DO know where you live! :D

hmm, i should be there. i have a CTANG A-10 still painting for the USAF SIG stand, btw. trevor
