Re: Republic F-108A Thunderwarrior

Thanks. I used various AK's Extreme Metal paints and those worked pretty well. Their resistance to masking tape surprised me.

Republic F-108A Thunderwarrior

Here is the 1/144 Anigrand kit, modified to represent the later design, with a more conventional exhaust and re-worked nose. Not the easiest resin kit to put together, lots of milliput required to fill in trenches (engraved panels) and poorly-fitting parts. Also detailled cockpit, missile bay and ...

Re: Mikro Mir 1/144 Blackburn Beverley

Nice one! Certainly original. I've only built the Falcon 10 kit from MikroMir, and I long to build another one..

Falcon 10 Aéronavale

A kit I finished a little while ago, that has had plenty of exposure time at shows on the Continent, but that I have not, I believe, had the pleasure to show off in the UK. This MikroMir is certainly one of the best 1/144 kit I've had the pleasure to complete in a long while. Highly commended.

RetroWings E-2D Conversion kits

Maybe a first in any scale? I've just released the E-2D conversion kit. It is meant, like all other Hawkeye RetroWings sets released so far, for the Revell E-2C kit(s).

The conversion is available either as a 'full' conversion kit, that also includes the 8-bladed props and the CEC Data Link Antenna ...

DHC-2 Beaver UN Markings

Here's my last completed 1/144 aircraft. Miniwing kit, started by a friend who is more used to much larger scales and gave up. The build was almost completed, I merely had to paint it (and add a new thinner prop). This was built as part of a club-wide GB to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the UN ...
