I found the Tamiya brand to have some really fine detail and they fit together without a lot of gaps or flash to remove. And they were not too expensive, at least here in the States. All the models I have shown are Tamiya. 

Yep, same as myself  something about Tamiya kits  made you think you had a kit a great quality  - deffo the  best "go to"  kits.

Loving those pictures  - takes me right back   there have been some stunning 1/35  Armour  kits created over time, always fancied doing the Accurate Armour  resin kits  but so expensive  but the detail in them.

OC.

Look after yourself.

OC.

Lovely work with the close up details and shading    I know what you mean with the  camera showing up every detail  -  makes us all feel we need to detail at a more zoomed in level.

OC.

Great work Yves.

OC.

Looking great greg.

OC.

Lovely Jubbly  mate.

OC.

OC.

Already got one on the back side OC, too much detail on the front side that has to show on the finished model is the issue here....

 

Thank you for the suggestion...

No problem  always willing to help if I can.

Hey!   welcome aboard - looking forward to this  your in good company .

OC.

Had a few days off, as even  using Microset  the admiral  could smell it  said it got up her nose  like a vinegar smell, so  I thought best not at the moment  till I can get good ventilation  like every door and window open.

Cant wait to crack on with it though   driving me nuts just being on the laptop  hearing all the  news  so fed up with this virus already.

OC.

Why dont you put a thing strip of something along the whole length both side to cover it?  it could represent a  re enforcing point.

OC.

She is looking superb  perfection in every way.

OC.

Really nice work.

OC.

Very nice work mate  really is a great setting for the  plane.

OC.

Very nice work with the barrels   they so look the part.   with the setting for her  - why not  part of a dio  with a  harbour  wall  behind?

Thanks OC , they've got that at hobbycraft,  only about 15 minutes from me, I'll nip and grab some tomorrow. 

Yes it's good to get going as I did think it was going to sir collecting dust forever 😏

Its good stuff  and lasts as it only releases a small amount,   the tube can block  but if you put a thin needle down it with the end bent over  or  worse case  heat the end of the tube with a fine flame like a candle / lighter  it  releases the glue again.

OC.

Good to see you making a start  Revell do a very good plastic glue called Contacta  has a fine metal tube so its nice and tidy.

Pic off the net.

OC, family first. Take care of the Admiral, the hobby stuff will wait, mate.

Thanks Ken,   because I am worried  (more than I will admit)  I  have been  reassuring the admiral that all will be ok and  we will get through some how almost like magic,  and it will all return to normal,  but I went  very  down missing a family member to reassure me.

So i wanted to  try to shrug it all off  go on my build and just carry on  - but I couldn't.

Take care of you and the family my friend, this will have it's day, I'm sure....

Thank you for that, I did try  as Im trying to pretend if I close my eyes it will all just have been a dream.

OC.

No progress today  not really in the mood to be honest,  Its been one of those days  lots of worry  about getting the  supplies we need,  the admiral has been rough with a tight chest due to worry and stress  (she has a heart condition as it is).

Im sure I will do more on the mossie.

OC.

Microset and Sol  are little bueties arnt they  - so impressed with how they settle down a  decal.

you do need to be careful with some cements,  as they can turn the clear foggy.   do you think clear nail polish would help?  Testor's window maker would be a good choice too.

 

Thank you Denis,   I think I will be ok with Revell's  Contacta  cement  as it does not give of fumes when it dry's.
