Hi Bish,

I'm in with a model sprayed by my new Airbrush. I'll post a pic of it after Christmas.

Cheers

Tony

my wife *gave* me a dirty look when my last delivery arrived, can i build her a concrete helmet to go with it?

I'd love to join but Nobody gives me anything , sniff.

Hi ,I am in with a 1/72 Airfix Scooter that was sent to me from New Zeeland as an early Xmass gift.

Might even fit in a 1/48 Fugimi Westland Wasp if time allows  :-D

Good to have you on board guys, i was getting worried for a moment.

Tony, i expect a nice pic of a brand new shiny airbrush.

Talentless, i forgot to add. You can include something bought with money given as a gift. If its anything like the look i get at the start of each month when the parcels arrive, i know the feeling.

OK bish , ill have to see what santa brings, my inlaws always give me 50 quid. i did get given a 144 scale starfighter but it has no decals so it will have to wait.

Does that include the $ I give myselff for a gift LOL! the card always reads " to Dad, from Dad"

Well the same guy who gave me the 1/72 Airfix Scooter just sent me another 1/48 Hasa A-4 E/F as a followup gift....totally unexpected!  SO I might be in with this one aswell :-)

Theuns

Thats always my excuse. Its a gift to myself.

2 Scooters, after seeing the your thread on Dio's, looking forward to seeing how you do these.

I'm in with whatever my Secret Santa (aka Bullet21) sent me from the Great White North for the Secret Santa GB....it'll be a 2-fer build!

p.s. I think it's a DML/Dragon kit....it does not rattle when I shake it

Bish:  I'll enter with the Airfix Victoria Cross Icons (1/72).  I'll probably do the Fairey Battle.

Gla to have you on board again check. Is that the set that has the Blenheim?

It is, Bish, and if I can get around to it, I'll probably include that too.  I've already finished the Hurricane for James Nicolson.

Are their any pics of the Hurricane on here. Would be great if you can build them both.

I think I took a few pictures during construction, but didn't post them anywhere--although I thought about including it in the OWL's "Force of Nature GB"; just didn't get to it.  I also did up the Hurricane from Revell Germany's Battle of Britain set at the same time, using markings from the Dunkirk era.  Compared to Airfix, that was a real handful.

One sleep to go, so don't forget to join the GB if you get any nice modelling pressies tomorrow. The GB starts on Wedensday so hopefully we will get some more recruits.

My presents were English tea and a Brown Betty to make it in.  

DARN!!!  

I got so exited about my little 1/72 Airfix A-4b Scooter that I started it a few days ago, totally forgot we are only supose to start tomorrow ! ;-)

SO please delete the Airfix one from the roster, I will do the 1/48 Hasa A-4 E/F for the GB. I understand "Santa" will be sending me another 1/48 A-4 F Israeli scooter from NZ next year, so that one might also be in the gb.

Just goes to show, do not leave model building for a few months like I did, when you start up again you get to "involved" and forget the GB rules  LOL

Festive season to all!

Theuns

Theuns, well it is xmas. I'll let you off if you still want to enter the Airfix kit.

Count me in please. Little birdy says I am getting a Revell 1/48 B-24 model so thats what I will build for this GB.

Added. Thats going to be some kit. Looking forward to it.

Check, does the Betty come with instructions and a paint guide.

Yea cool, I will post some pix later :-)

Well we are ahead "timewize" to the US and it will be 26 Dec in just over 12 hours  LOL

Theuns

This is my 1/72 new tool Airfix A-4b. Sofar no major hassles with the kit, just a bit of filler needed on the bottom of the wing joints.

I cut off the flaps and thinned them out as I wanted to do a "split flaps down" pose. 

I also managed to break off one of the tiny slat rails. Will have to glue it back no.

Add a little weight to the nose or it will be a tailsitter.(lead shot and wood glue)

Not sure if you can see it in the pix, I modified the stabs to sit at a leading edge down position as if trimmed nose up for the cat shot or even landing  :-)

It will be in USN scemee.

Theuns

Bish, if "Mrs. Claus" got the many hints and memos I left lying around, looks like it'll be a Wingnut Wings D.VII  for me (but I don't want to jinx anything yet as it's still about 2-3 hrs before I actually find out). If so, I'll be entering that puppy for sure. Should be back with confirmation of some sort or another fairly soon.

Theuns, looking good. Been woundering about these new tooled Airfix kits. I have been in two minds about the MiG 15.

Mike, will keep my fingures crossed. I have never done a WW1 plane myself, so the 0/400 i got for my birthday will make a nice change. I hear a lot of good things about these Wingnut Wings kits.

I have not seen the Mig yet, but this little scooter is just sonice, the only thing I do not like about it is that I have managed to break off 2 (and loose 1) of the slat rails! They are very fiddly.

Hopefully I have completed the sanding and can work more carefully now.

I am just trying to find the best "load" for this plane so I can put the hardpoints on.

Theuns

OK Bish, it's official. You can put me down for a WnW Fokker D.VII (alb). It's a gorgeous kit, and Mrs. Claus even threw in some neat AM stuff, like PE turnbuckles, seat harnesses, and turned brass Spandau barrels & cooling jackets. Definitely looking forward to this GB, and being off from work until the 2nd, should have plenty of time to make some serious progress on 'er.

Nice one Mike. And istn't it great when Santa even thinks to include the AM, how clever. I think i need to train my Mrs Claus some more, but she's getting there.

Wow, i actually got a model for xmas, bought by swimbo no less. Please put me down for an airfix 1/600 belfast. Why she thought id want a ship i dont know, ive never built one before. Should be fun.

It might be a while before i start as i need to do researh buy bits etc, snd finish what i am doing.

I got the 1/600th Airfix HMS Victorious for my birthday. I do have a couple of ship kits but my other half has not seen them as i haven't worked on any for years. Woman, who knows what goes on in their heads lol.

I have that Airfix Belfast kit in the stash. I think its partly built but it must have been 15 years or more since i worked on it. I saw your post about the White Ensign PE. I was thinking about getting the set for the Victorious kit. I reckon they have to be worth getting as anything to improve it can't hurt.
