sky's aka shane dicast and plastic collection

done some weathering on body. getting there slowly.

done a little more, started the wing painting put some markings on.

just about there, fixed up some weathering looking ok so far. the next one will be a vampire.

very nice detail work sky.
looking forward to the Vampire build.

well all done now,good build easy to put together, the weathering come out ok getting better at it.

well I'm on the next one a vampire mk.9 1/48 scale by trumpeter. i have started on the cockpit area.

started to put colour, just need to get some grey.

since im running low on grey i have stated the huey hog. its a revell 1/48 scale i have started the cockpit and engine area.

I have started making plastic kits, mainly because of the rubbish weather we have had this year and the lack of flying opportunities.

I decided to specialise in 1/35 WW2 German tanks and armoured cars, although I also do aircraft. As I am limited in the amount of spray painting I can do, I think that tanks are easier to finish properly because can be brush painted, as they mostly were in the real world, and any dodgy joints can be disguised with mud, grease etc. effects. Painting aircraft can be more demanding especially bright metal finish.

I have built the Me163 in the past, nice kit, am doing a 'Dambusters' Lancaster diorama at the moment, will add pictures when it is finished. (And when I find out how to!)
I built a 1/32 Airfix kit BAC TSR-2 recently, I was very disappointed with it, not very scale, poor details and misleading instructions.

hello harry
you wouldn't still have the instructions for the tsr2.
i have a plan for a nice rc model, but details of scale from the airfix instructions would be useful in the build.

sorry sky, your planes are looking great though.

Sorry, Tony, I built the model and was so fed up with it I didn't paint it. I kept it a few months and then put it on ebay. The instructions and decals went with it. There are plenty of places on the net with good details, the TSR-2 book by Tim McLelland is good too.

I do have a couple of photos of the original at RAF Cosford if you are interested.

thanks harry i was seeing if this post on building plastic kits was going to be good. if anyone wants to add to this post thats ok eg model tanks, cars,planes diecast or plastic or if any one wants help at looking for plans thats ok.

and thanks tony i do my best , am saving up for a spray set

i just like the startup of the uh-1h sound great and flyby

yes a nice sound and that thud,thud comming to you alot of people were glad to hear that noise.
