HI Guys

I have been absent for a little while . Anyway here is my latest which is the Airfix 1/48 scale Merlin built straight from the box. She will appear in and future edition of Mai. Hope you like her?

For this year's group build (we did Hellcats and Chevys in the past) the gang went for U-boats. The kit is the 1/144 Revell Type VII/C. In my case I also added the Griffon Models PE set. The model is of U-251 in an arctic paint scheme. The contest is a little over a week away and a flotilla of 8 boats will be showing up.





This is first submarine I've built in more than 30 years. Actually, it's the first naval vessel I've built in more than 30 years.

Thanks for looking and hope you like it.

Cheers

OK, this one has taken a while to complete as I have been so busy with work! Its been built totally out of the box, using Tamiya paints and left with pre-shading only for weathering. I found pictures of this aircraft still flying at airshows although she wears gloss paint. In all the pictures I could find she was immaculate, so decided to keep it minimal from a dirt point of view.. I couldn't bring myself to leave it gloss though! All camouflage done freehand and I am pretty pleased with it. I have to say, it is a fantastic model to build and everything fits so well.

Here are a few pictures.
