I did some 1:520 biplanes, I found it kind of fun, but would not recommend rigging 🙂 I like your kingfisher a lot.

Thanks Ben. Yes its alright really. Very little detail in these but adding a little scratch build helps a lot. Painting is very tricky but just about possible. Been learning from the master Frank;

Love your stuff Frank.

Took awhile but quite pleased with her. Be warned though, every thing is covered in a deep layer of flash on this 'vintage' kit. You can get most of it off but it doubles the build time!

Nice job Mike, I have built many of the Airfix Trackside series locos and rolling stock from the early red stripe boxings where the sprues were flash free and parts sharp as a knife (and better plastic). I have this to build from the new VC range so am now prepared by your comments. I also have Victorious to build from a 1980s boxing so that should be Ok but also have just bough Fearless and Devonshire in the new VC range so fingers crossed they are OK. I have also gone the full hog and bought the PE detail sets for the last three, bonkers I know but there's a first time for everything! Thanks for the Frank Spahr AR link - that will be very useful Cheers

Not really a boat builder, but i do love aircraft carriers. This is my first go and at 1/600 i am not expecting too much. The Airfix vintage classics are not easy mainly due to the problem of flash spillage. Everything is just covered so a LOT of cleaning up is needed. If you want to see how good at can look then check out Frank Spahr's excellent build. Inspiring indeed.

Its also a good opportunity to check out my new phone which has a macro lens. These new phones are getting so good. Might ditch the SLR yet.
