I thought you would just pour a bottle of paint into the cockpit and swill it about a bit - MSea style!!!!!

That's what I do, don't tell the rest, make them think I may be a proper modeller!

Some other parts built, engine, gun, Blackburn cowling and fuselage top.
I don't think the guns were fitted to the ones at Hornsea RNAS, so it will come in for something else.

Well at last managed to do a bit. The fuselage needed gentle persuasion.

often the case I am afraid. Lookin good so far.

Do you need to borrow a hammer

Well I have been otherwise engaged for a while, so it was back to finishing some of those half finished projects.
Here is the Airfix 1/72 Handley Page 0/400, one of the first heavy bombers used by the British in WW1, it succeeded the 0/100 and proved more effective.
Rigging at the moment.
The aircraft seem to have a bit of a lean to one side, I must do something about that.

This can't be the kit that you acquired at the last meeting, surely?
Haddock.

No, that was a Vickers Vimy, I have been working on this one for quite some time.

I prefer the full on approach to weathering....especially on armour...dirty beasts they were and so should they look.
Only my opinion.

Eventually I managed to get around to weathering this 1/35 Meng Mk V tank, maybe a little on the heavy side.

Hi Zak,
No, I don't think you have overdone it with the weathering. It is all subjective I know, but I think your weathering is 'spot on'. Remember these beasts ran over fields of mud, and were probably actually more dirty than yours.

No, for me yours is in balance not too much to detract from the kit itself.

Cheers,
