Tamiya 1/32nd A6M2 Zero,  OOB Lovely kit, but I didn't enjoy it as much as I thought, I would have preferred it without the moving parts which were a bit of a pain, but it does look nice when done. Build thread is  http://www.britmodel...2nd-a6m2b-zero/ Peter

Finished today, Revell's new tool FW-190 F8, with Eduard Brassin Cockpit (which is brilliant), and HGW Fabric belts which I only bought when I lost one of the PE belts from the Brassin set.  The kit is about a 7 of 10 - Nice detail in places, but some parts especially the control surfaces are simplified. I also had issues with the Undercarriage snapping. I had to drill and pin the main landing gear struts. Painted with Gunze throughout, with Oil weathering Peter

Finished Sunday, a really quick build over the course of 2 weekends - made quicker when I dropped it and cracked the canopy, dislodged the Instrument panel and seat and lost the gunsight. Eduard's 1/48th P-39 from the MTO Dual Combo, this time as an Italian co-belligerent airforce. Really fun kit, as long as you don't drop it :-) Peter 

Finished today, a really nice kit, that goes together very nicely, only thing to watch is the rear drive sprockets which needed a little work.    Painted with Ammo IDF Sand Grey, and Alclad Steel for the tracks, then weathered with Pigments and Oils                 Peter

Finished today, Hasegawa 1/32nd P-40E Kit, with Eduard Big Ed set and Barracuda Decals to do Clive Caudwells aircraft from 112 Sqn. Masked and sprayed the mouth rather than use the decals which never seem to fit properly.   Painted with Akan paints - horrible things, and replacement Gunze for the Middle Stone. Weathered with AK Oils and Pigments in a number of layers.                     Build thread is available  here   Peter
