Started the aircraft and flight deck equipment I'll post some pictures when I'm a bit further on with them I think I'll do the flight deck as if they are about to do a big aircraft assault so fighters at the front ready to take off torpedo bombers at the rear being redied


Got to airbrush some Vallejo Matt clear onto the hull at some point soon mainly to cover the gloss varnish I put down before the decals went on all the best guys for now

Did a bit of weathering on the flight deck and started assembling said aircraft these are very well moulded in clear styrene so you have to mask the canopies before airbrushing spose I could hairy stick paint them not sure yet


Comments always welcome

Aircraft are coming on the most difficult part was getting the props off the sprue and deburing them so damn fragile painting was a mix of hairy stick and airbrush all comments welcome

Fighters are almost done bombers still need wheels and canopies then Matt coat the lot


I painted the tow bars yellow not sure if this is correct but it gives a bit of colour to the flight deck just noticed the jeeps steering wheel is on the passenger seat lol so that will have to be fixed I also made some trollies for the torpedoes from various bits of photo etch it's nearly done now woo hoo please leave comments

Great work Roger, those 1/350 Aircraft must be a nightmare to do. Derek
