Thanks Malcolm

Ukraine colours only by chance....The only signal flag I could find that matched the two-colour pennant visible in a B&W photo I found is apparently the one for (number) 5 - which happens to be blue and yellow (pennant number? - boat has no other markings)

My best guess!

Spurred on by Malcolm's lovely ships I finally finished the KriegsfischKutter - built it full hull but finished up with it 'in' the water. Lots of research as ICM simply didn't model anything they had (presumably) no info about - but it goes together well enough............seems the Yacht club is ex...

Malcolm that looks like it's coming on a treat - I just received my parcel from L'Arsenal and I have to say their stuff is astonishingly well detailed (the jeeps are going in my D Day landing craft)

Keep us posted on progress

Hi all casting around for a 'recessed' base for a ship model I came across these at Hobbycraft. (online too if you don't have a nearby branch) They are sold as a three-pack described as 'trays' for somewhat under a tenner (I think I paid around £8.50). They are made of wood so quite rigid but light ...

Do keep the pictures coming - that's a cracking job taking shape there. The Pit Road kits are always amongst the very best in our scale - I may have to get mine out of the stash now !!

Currently still wrestling with the K'fisch Kutter but making slow progress !!

First show of the year under our belt ! Bolton show held at the still-signposted-as Macron stadium is a massive event and like SMW had a huge turn-out that bodes well for the hobby - having scoped out the correct places to park for unloading last year we braved the wind and rain to find ourselves on...

fully agree - there's an earlier thread about scale colour if you scroll down the 'open questions' section

Looking Good - I have a couple of Revell Connies in the stash - lovely aircraft. Minicraft are a bit curate's egg - I agree with you - they are attractive subjects - best ones in the range are the Catalina, B-47 and B-58 - to be fair a lot of Roden's output has similar problems but in all cases ther...

Point of order m'lud 'materials that grew rather than manufactured' A great deal of the plastic we use is oil-based which means that 50 million years ago it was trees I would submit a greener use than burning the stuff........
