LT - That P-61 is coming along nicely.  I agree, not the best place for a sprue gate for sure!!  I see you get the same kind of "help" from your cat as I get from mine!

 

A progress pic of my little Fw-190.  All the interior bits have been painted.  The canopy will be closed so I'll cheat and apply the kit supplied decal seatbelts.

I have to say that it looks convincing. One question, is the Frog kit better than the Hasegawa, or is it just a personal favourite ? Cheers Tony

I'm just taking it one GB at a time.

Hello, I'd like to join, with approval.  The build will be a 1/72 Airfix Boulton Paul Defiant. I think I'll do the night version, the shark mouth is pretty cool!

That's a nice model 68. I've only used Starfighter decals once or twice, I've found them to be excellent. Cheers Tony

Well got my bang seat painted finally. Started painting the rest of the office and will have pics up soon of that. Doing her OOB, unless I get a wild hair and try my friends trick of drill bits for some oleos and actuator struts. Whistling

Nice work on the seat.  These seats that Monogram made for the 6 has to be some of the nicest kit seats made.  I really want to start one of the ones I have.

I started the Revell 1/144 F-5E.

Going to let the filler dry and start on the painting. Wheels up and I'll need to make a stand for it.

It's taken me a few weeks to decide on what I will build for this GB. When the Gloster Meteor F Mk 1 was introduced to service in 1944, it was used to intercept V1 Flying Bombs over England. I will build the Cyber Hobby kit in 1/72. Cheers Tony
