I am actually delighted with this attempt at pre shading; I’ve used Vallejo primer & it has gone down so smoothly! It’s really picked out the detail already. Don’t want to overdo it so I’ll leave it at that and see how it looks tomorrow but I can’t wait to get the base colour on!

Glossed and decals applied, had a nightmare with one of the ‘421’ numbers, it disintegrated! So there won’t be an id number on the rear of the turret sadly. Just glossed it again to seal everything in before painting little bits and a little panel wash.

Gloss dried well and I’ve just added a little dirty wash to it. Now I’ll give it a matt coat before sone weathering which I’m excited for!

What’s the best Heinkel 111 model out the at the moment? Not built one in years, got the Matchbox one in my collection but would rather build one a bit more detailed although the Matchbox one gives great nostalgia. 1:72 or 1:48 scale max. Or just build the Matchbox one? 🧐

Telling everyone you’re a modeller can have unexpected benefits - a work colleague bought this in for me as he’d had it for years and never finished it - partially started but seems all there, another super kind gesture in a week!

Wow, just found book full of my old drawings from the late 80’s to the late 90’s. I thought these sketches were lost! I used to copy kit boxes and pics out of books, looking back I’m quite proud of these! Maybe it’s time for some new aviation art, years later.

It’s unbelievable that everyone on here now asks Grok, nay begs Grok to back up stories that aren’t true on all sorts of engagement bait posts. In the next decade we truly will be the thickest species on the planet, because people aren’t even trying to work things out anymore.

Wonderful to see traditional art still being used for Tamiya’s box art, long may it continue! instagram.com/reel/DJyEWReSg…
