Thanks Clifford. The day's I've had off I'm either teaching (making sure my son does his school work) at home or my wife wants something else done around the house! So far I've removed a wall, built a fake oak beam and fitted it, stripped the tile from the kitchen, put up new tile in said kitchen, clean the garage, cleared and decorated the basement and cleared it again new light fittings in the basement and kitchen......
It's all making this "quick build" go on for months.

Thanks again all. My son pointed out I hadn't put a picture up with the engine panels open so here they are.

You took an old kit and made it shine with modern techniques. Unless one plans on doing quite a bit of serious correction work, you have probably done all that can be done with this beast. Bravo!

So having grown up with Airfix I wasn't expecting too much from this build other than some fun on a "quick build", but it had some nice detail and the decals were great. I'm really happy with it and the blurred tree top base made for some nice pictures I think.

Gareth. The same applied to me too mate. The information and support one can obtain being part of SM is awesome.
I know, like you, all my modelling has become more worth while as it is out in the world stage now, and that has got to make us a tad more attentive to what we see, and, Do. hehehehe
Thank you too for your comment mate.

Couldn't agree more Kerry and Gareth. You see/learn something new pretty much every day. And then you can get the nitty gritty as well from the masters themselves!! Most places charge for that sort of access.

I have managed to drop this model as well as all the other models in the large box I had put them in for the big house move last week. All seems repairable thankfully. On a bright note I watched a great model making video on YouTube about taking photos. I down loaded Snapseed and quite happy with what you can do just on your smart phone.

I think I'll get it this time. Mould made with bluestuff and two halves of a kit in my stash. Using filler I made with glue and sprue that can get right into the mould. Fingers crossed.

Good luck. I am trying to figure out how to make a mould, to cast a belly pan/nose wheel well for a 1/72 Hobby Craft F-89 that is missing it. I have 2 other 1/72 F-89"s but can't figure out how to do it.

So Gareth, you used glue thinned filler for this? From the picture I thought you used sprue goo. Isn't that filler brittle then?

Gareth, what did you use for mold material. I have to find something to use as mold material, to try and mold in flight refueling probes for my ESCI Mirage 2000's and F-1's.

Gareth, what colors did you use. Is the darker gray the new F-15 Gray or Dark Ghost gray?

Nice collection. You mentioned service in the Navy and I detect a certain bias toward naval aviation.
Nice tip of the hat to the Canadian Armed Forces with the Hawk you have finished.

Thanks Alan. Yes, I have quite the collection of Fleet Air Arm models waiting for my attention. I'm 23 years in the Royal Navy and still going. As for the Canadian connection, the wife is from Toronto.

OK. I live in Courtice, just east of Toronto, next to Oshawa. I worked for a time in Scarborough as well. I grew up in Windsor, Ontario and after a few other places have settled here with my family.
I am collecting some kits to mark as Canadian vehicles, especially for the Ontario Regiment, which is based in Oshawa. I volunteer at the Regiment museum and wanted to finish some kits for their time in Italy in WWII.

What a pleasant surprise to find when logging back in after a few days away.
An awesome collection of aircraft Gareth.
Especially the Swordfish. !
But where did you get that launch controller from. ???
