Jagdpanther (ouch)
Matchbox / Revell 1/76 Jagdpanther. I still have one of these from when I was but young, possibly the oldest kit I have but I thought I’d have a go at building the Revell version. Here’s my old one. Must be somewhere between 35 and 45 years old. Here’s the new one built. I’ve added […]
Airfix Sea Harrier FRS.1
Chelmsford Model Club had decided to have a Falklands War rememberance themed competition for their meeting in October 2022. To show willing (as I ran the competitions then) I decided to build an Airfix FRS1 Sea Harrier that I’d bought that year. I thought I’d also build a base for it as I’d seen some […]
Char 2C Finished (probably)
Well like a lot of other stuff the Meng Models Char 2C has been awaiting completion for a very long time. The last time I mentioned its progress on this site appears to have been March 2019, well a lot’s been going on. There didn’t look like much left to do but of course I […]
Finally Finished Something
You know how it is ? You need something quickly just to put on the table and I needed a plane. All the stuff I have in the stash looked like it would take a while to build so I wanted something quick and simple. After a quick trip to “John Dutfield’s” my local model […]
It’s Been Three Months
It’s been three months since I last posted a build update. What on earth have I been doing ? Well the Hobby Boss Vickers Mk1 I’ve been working on has taken forever to finish. I broke the headlights three times and the track countless times. Hobby Boss make 3 or four version of the Mk2 […]
Me Too
I mean I’ve received a couple of things in the last month but not much. Up first is the Airfix 1/72nd scale Bristol Beaufort that I must have ordered last July from Jadlam. I though that it would never turn up but finally ! Secondly a pack of four WW1 British soldiers to go with […]
Found In A Box
I have already mentioned that I’ve been trying to finish some of the abandoned projects hidden in boxes inside cupboards and in the garage. I’ve not done too badly so far having finished quite a few of the old Matchbox kits I’d started. This one however is a bit of an odd ball. This is […]
Ancient Airfix Messerschmitt Bf109F
This one started as a 1/48th scale Revell Jaguar some time this year at the beginning of lock down. Colin suggested that we all build a plane in a weekend. I suggested that it would take at least a week. Well after a week the Jaguar was nowhere near finished and was giving me great […]
Jagdpanther Sd.Kfz 173
I couldn’t think of a snappy title for this one so it is what it is literally. Another one that’s been in the cupboard for years, completely built but just sitting with a grey undercoat. This was one of the early Dragon 1/72nd scale armour kits where the whole of the body, upper and lower […]
