Hi Folks, Cop this lot, all 1/72 scale, all OOB, all assembled by moi with the new (no longer ex !) supervisor's bits proving quite a distraction at times ! (Kirsten's back, after we both realised the mistook we made ) Academy Me-109 G-6/R2, fell together nicely, as always Tamiya Focke-Wulf 190D-9 - A beautiful kit, with the usual Tamiya "No dramas, shake the box, add glue and its done" ease of assembly Fine Molds Ki-61 "Tony" a nice kit, with a few dramas inside the cockpit, easily solved by leaving the lil greeblies causing all the problems in the box (you won't see 'em with the canopy on anyway !) π€« Airfix Hawker Hurricane Mk1 - the 1979 reissue of the series 2 kit in Bob Stanford-Tuck's colours as one of the 4 he flew in September 1940 at the height of the Battle of Britain. A good old fashioned Airfix kit from the days where Airfix were Airfix and their kits always were trouble free to assemble CMK Resin Spitfire XII - the First of the Griffon Engined Spitfires is this Batch's Example of RJ Mitchell's finest, Resin means a little bit more care has to be taken with assembly, I couldn't be bothered with the Vacform Canopy, so raided an Eduard XVI for a substitute Otherwise no dramas encountered with construction or anything else either, come to that That's yer lot for now - more soon - promise ! π Regards a largely unsupervised (during the day at least) OB π

Cheers Folks
Mark, "I" before "R" in her name mate, its Kirsten, not Kristen, real life not "Days of Our" (or whatever silly thing you've been watching)
4 More lil flyers nearly dun now,, be up in a day or two, then there's some unfinished armour, screaming my name to finish them off too...not all of it in 72nd, plus there's a 700th ship or two that need finishing touches and photography, should keep me busy til the new year.
Regards OB of unsupervised by day π( cos she's gone back to work) ππ΅πΆπ

My apologies OB! I knew that; unfortunately, my fingers keep jumping ahead sometimes flipping letters.
Looking forward to seeing the new ones. I also have a ship I need to finish adding the P/E to as well as about nine armor models to shoot paint on. Your impressive work is keeping me motivated to get them done.
