Re: Vintage Classic Airfix SRN-4

Thanks for the nice comments. it's nice to see that our models can stir sights and sounds and bring back memories for people. I took the completed model back to the local craft shop where I had bought it a couple of weeks ago to let the shop owner see what I had done with it so now it is on display ...

Re: Vintage Classic Airfix SRN-4

Part 2.

I had decided to finish it as “Princess Ann” as it's on display at the” Hovercraft Museum at Le-on-Solent". However, after some research found that what Airfix supplies is basically a Mk1/2/3 whereas the preserved one is a stretched Mk.4 so that was out, but if I do a good job with this ...

Re: NeOmega Fairmile "B" Sub-hunter

Part.2

Decided to convert my boat to a Resque launch by fitting a survivor's house structure between the deck/bridge house & the stern 20mm gun. This also meant adding extra deck details and a .5 Mk.V gun turret (“NeOmega,s” Vickers twin gun accessory set) to the bows in place of the kit supplied ...

NeOmega Fairmile “B” Sub-hunter

Hi all, I bought this when it was first released but have only now had time to build it due to other projects getting in the way. As I'm building it now, I,v seen some other build reviews by other modellers so know some of the challengers ahead.

So, the first job ...

Re: HMS Alliance

Mike. You've got me blushing. I class myself as an average modeler the only thing I'm an expert at is being able to cover up the cock-up's I make in my builds.

Re: HMS Jervis

HMS Jervis joins the fleet.

The final chapter.

Phew. I'm calling it finished. HMS Jervis has completed her sea trials and joined the fleet. Was it worth it? Emm? Yes, for the fact it's a “British Destroyer”. (J Class) But would I build another one? NO. (Not all 3D printed!!) 3D printing ...
