Very fine work here Kevin plus a useful technique filed away for future work.

Phenomenal work Dave. Scrolling through this lot has bowled me over and occupied the last couple of hours very pleasantly thank you. I love the airfield maintenance kit used during the war and could be easily tempted to model many of them.
 

Thanks Dave, I'll endeavour to uphold the high standards of the site. but don't be alarmed if there's the odd slip in standards.

Just begun one of the new tool Airfix Spitfire Mk I/Ia/IIa kits. It's all sweetness and light so far with options to build virtually any early Spitfire Mk.

1/144 scale, wow, I'm very impressed Kev. A very attractive aeroplane I think. Looking forward to seeing the finished diorama.

This is the SE5a D6864 Keith Caldwell flew for a time in September 1918 and is another project progressing at my usual glacial rate. Due to the hasty development of the SE5 there were a myriad of significant changes during its initial squadron deployment. It has taken time to research the most likely configuration of D6864. Fortunately the Eduard kit caters for all the major variations once I worked out what was needed. After just on a month I have declared the cockpit area finished as far as I'm prepared to go with it and am now planning out the rigging and painting program before assembling the fuselage, wings and undercarriage.

There seems to be a myriad collective nouns for moths. Ball, dusting, flame, whisper, flap, shudder, and platoon are all offered by Brewsters. I favour platoon as the most suitable for my developing Tiger Moth collection.

Thanks gents for your responses. I'll cast my net further afield and see what I can find.
