The next project will be this old tool Italeri Horsa glider. My first glider, so here's hoping it will be a good experience. 🙂

Robert Podkoński
Taking a seat here!

Nicolas
I'm going to build this one too. Im watching with great interest.

J35J

Guy Rump
Made a start today. First thing to do was decide if a MK.1 or Mk.2 was to be built. I've decided on the Mk.1 so I had to cut out the parts as shown in the photo. 🙂

Welcome along Robert, Nicolas & J35J, nice to have you with me. 👍

Many thanks mates for your interest and likes Robert P, Neil, Chris & J35J. 👍

Many thanks mate for your interest and like Andrew B. 👍

Wings now together. I intend painting the wings before attaching to the fuselage. Hurricane added to show the size of the glider. 🙂

Neil Patrick
I built this about 20 years ago Guy as a gift for a WW2 Horsa pilot who was a friend of my wife's family. He'd flown Horsas into Normandy and Arnhem. He loved the model and it sat in his living room for the rest of his days. It's a nice kit as I recall.

Guy Rump
Invasion stripes are now on the wings. Next is to start painting the invasion stripes on the fuselage. 🙂

@ Neil, it is quite a nice kit considering its age. The fact that you gifted a Horsa model to an actual Horsa pilot veteran is something that must have been hugely gratifying. 👍

Many thanks mates for your interest and likes Villiers DV, Sebastien C, Neil P & 2 other mates. 👍

Guy Rump
Fuselage painted Dark Earth, BS Dark Green and black including invasion stripes. Gap is for where the wings are added. 🙂

Another UK Trainer jet aircraft to add to my collection. 🙂

Nicolas
I saw the Red Arrows last year in Duxford. Great show. I'll have a look over your shoulder.

Guy Rump
I've made a start on the Hawk trainer. I've put weight in the nose so hopefully it won't be a tail sitter! Cockpit put together and inserted into aircraft. So far, so good. 🙂

Welcome Nicolas, pull up a chair! 👍

Hi Guy 👋😃👍
Taking good shape now, has it all gone together ok so far..?? Tamiya are usually good?
I've only do one armour model....the Airfix Sherman 1/72 ....was a gift.
Best of luck with next steps 👍👍

Guy Rump
Primer is now on! Next is the undercoat colour. 👍

Many thanks Mr D for your kind comment. It's fitted together really well as you'd expect. I'm experimenting with this one with a bit of weathering and chipping, hopefully it will turn out ok. 👍

Many thanks mates for your interest and likes Jan P, RolfRolf & Lukas M. 👍

Undercoat painted on (Vallejo model air black). Next will be the main colour. 🙂

Looking great so far.

George Williams
Looking great so far.

George Williams
The decals look really good.

MS K
Thanks George. As expected, the quality of Cartograf decals is top notch 🙂

Robin (WhiteGlint)
This looks great! Decals look like painted on.
I really should start sanding down the gloss coat/decals like you did. In your comment you've written that no polishing is necessary. Will you just apply snew gloss coat over top after cleaning it a bit more?

MS K
Thanks Robin.
Llivery of this car is matt 😉 the reason for sanding is that removing the step in the decal, even on a matte surface, creates a smoother curved surface.

Martin Oostrom
Lovin' it
