General Discussion / Centurion Mk V 20 Pounder Type B gun
« on: May 09, 2022, 09:51:45 AM »
Hi All,

I am currently building the 1/35 scale AFV Centurion Mk V/1 MBT but as a Danish version.

I don't have a. lot of reference material but I know the Danish version I am trying to build had the Type B 20 Pounder gun and I am wondering if anyone knows of an aftermarket metal barrel ?  AFV do the Type A gun as an aftermarket mod but I haven't been able to find a Type B gun.

Appreciate any help or advice on this.

Regards

Mike

Modelling Projects / Republic Thunderbolt P47D Bubbletop 1/48
« on: April 13, 2020, 12:32:06 PM »
Given the current circumstances I suddenly found myself with some spare time away from work so I decided to get a model built.  First one in many years.  This is my first attempt at an Alclad 2 finish.  I learnt a lot from this build and also how much I enjoy the hobby and have missed modelling.

Kit is the Tamiya 1/48 P47D and I used an Eduard photo etch set to add a little extra detail.

Attached are a few photos of the model plus a shot of the original aircraft for comparison.

Modelling Projects / 1/48 MK III Lysander (SD) - Plus request for help
« on: June 13, 2014, 04:30:12 PM »
I started building this kit a couple of years ago and got the cockpit complete then it sat in the box until last month when I decided to try and do something other than work. 

Well, it was going really well until I removed the masking for the canopy.  Some dreaded overspray had managed to get under the masking and foam I had placed in the cockpit.   If I hadn't wanted to show more of the cockpit off and not removed the side panels it wouldn't have happened.

Anyway, "never give up" as the motto goes.  So after a few days of head scratching and failed attempts at making something to clean the canopy from the inside I decried it had to come off.  I managed to remove the canopy with hardly any damage but when I tried to clean it with Enamel thinners (It was Enamel paint that had got onto it) the canopy collapsed on me.  Too much thinners and ham fisted cleaning I guess.

So now I am really starting to get fed up with it.  But a quick search on the internet and Hannants have  vac formed canopy from Squadron for a 1/48 Lysander.  It was definitely cheaper than buying another Lysander kit just for the canopy.

I have the new canopy but I have never worked with vac formed clear canopies before so my request for help is any tips for working with it?  can I used clear fix to attach it? can I use any paint on it? etc etc

Any help will be most welcome

General Discussion / USS Intrepid Museum New York
« on: June 13, 2014, 03:52:58 PM »
In case any of you may have been wondering what I have been up to lately as I don't get to many of the club meetings (sadly), I thought I would post a few pictures from a recent trip to New York.

I am always on the look out for museums and places to visit related to my modelling interests, especially submarines!!  So when I knew I was going to New York I did a quick search and found that the USS Intrepid museum compl;eye with the USS Growler submarine was going to be a must see.

Well its back to work for me but I do hope to see you all in the future.

General Discussion / Travelling by Air with model tools and kits
« on: September 23, 2011, 05:10:17 PM »
Hi Everyone,

I am currently working in Norway quite a bit and I have some time on my hands while over there so I would like to get on with a bit of modelling.

I would like to take a few tools over when I fly but I am unsure what I can put in my hold baggage?
(The tools are very expensive over there but I appreciate I will buy glue etc)

Has anyone any experience of taking tools/kits etc on aircraft in the past?

Regards

Mike
