Yes it is!

Thanks Gents - glad to bring back some good memories for everyone

Progress has been made on the Hurricane - it's now ready for paint.





I'm also moving along the two Migs - filling and sanding!

Making progress...





Hand painted canopy - No masking or framing on the clear part...



Cheers Comrades!

Oh an a couple more from the desert...

The Humber is moving along!



The Hurricane is getting some paint.

Looking very good!

Wow! I feel like a kid again; remembering all those same models I built way back when! Yeah!!

Thanks Gents - glad you like them. I'll try and get some more progress shots later!

Mark - glad to hear it brings back memories, nostalgia is one of main the reasons why I still build models - and I do love these oldies. The old (1967) Airfix Mig-21 has been great fun, I've loved scratching up a new cockpit and brush painting a NMF with Humbrol Enamels - superb fun!

I really like that new Zvezda kit though - nice detail and very nice plastic to work with. It's my first kit from this company and I'll certainly be getting some more.

Yes, Zvezda makes some really good products. Their new tool stuff is really enjoyable to build, and quite well detailed.

Agreed - although I have unfortunately buggered up the painting...

You want buggered up? Come on over to my house. Sheesh....good thing this is fun!
