Re: AirFix & Tamiya Kits

I used to make lots of them - have made those three in your pictures. My favourite aircraft is the Tiger Moth - so made a few of those in different liveries.

Re: AirFix & Tamiya Kits

I used to love making them when I was a youngster, they weren't as big as the one's shown but they gave me hours of enjoyment all the same.

Credit to him, he sure makes a top job by the looks of it, I always used to fail on the paint job, never had enough patience towards the end I guess.

Re: AirFix & Tamiya Kits

Oh memories. I had so many,they were my pride and joy and every penny went on finding a kit apart from airfix for that Japanese plane

Then we moved and the evil one threw them away.

I`m sure I have been here before

Re: AirFix & Tamiya Kits

Eliza they look great. A good hobby for your oh to have.

Re: AirFix & Tamiya Kits

Ive passed on all your comments to OH ,he says thank you he hopes to do the Vulcan after the B17,,

OlderGit Did you mean the Japanese ZERO ? ,
You could start again on the planes you once had ,that would be a challenge for you .

Re: AirFix & Tamiya Kits

Hi Eliza

The Zero was easy to find some others were harder as not done by airfix.

Start again?? you are joking-my eye sight is not 20/20 and my hands shake a little.


AND -they no longer cost between two shillings and seven and six

Re: AirFix & Tamiya Kits

The He 111 is a bit of a challenge-all that nose to do without a glue smear.
