The Arma Hobby Hurricane has little holes on the back of the wingtip navigation lights and with a spot of clear green and clear red they do look the part #histscalemodels

Despite being so tiny even at 2 years old, the density of Crécy Brandt is clearly the equivalent of a Black Hole Event Horizon where even light can’t escape from the gravitational pull …she is actually looking at the camera and even her eyes can’t be seen !

Having decided to leave the turret hatches open on the NVA T-54 it has been necessary to enhance the limited interior detail to make it a bit more busy although it won’t win awards for accuracy #histscalemodels

I’ve tried all sorts of washes to accentuate panel lines, acrylic, enamel and oil with varying degrees of success and mess. However, I’ve tried a clay based one today and it’s a game changer. Brilliant result, just paint on, let dry and wipe off with a piece of damp kitchen roll #histscalemodels

Well, I have a flat tyre and whilst this is frustrating and now needs unnecessary effort early tomorrow morning, I am very thankful I am home and it didn’t go on the A64 in the dark and with the weather as it is !

Night 21-22 Jan 1944: 1st Luftwaffe attack of Operation STEINBOCK, a renewed assault on London. 200 aircraft took off, but only 13 reached their target, with bombs widely scattered elsewhere; 16 bombers were shot down. It was an inauspicious beginning, though later raids proved more effective. 🧵1/5

I always wanted these two kits when I was a lot lot younger so nostalgia has resulted in me pre-ordering them. I’ve already sourced a suitable 3d print for the Vosper’s twin oerlikon

The Revell decals that came with the two German aircraft are old and poor so out with the magic box of spare decals for national insignia and, hopefully, some suitable stencils #histscalemodels #sparedecals

Upper surfaces done and now set aside to let fully cure. Next stage will be the decals on the two Luftwaffe “What If” followed by another gloss coat on these two before weathering starts on all four #histscalemodels
