Not done any models for a while, getting back into it, so just completed a Hurricane of 527 Radar Calibration Squadron. Supposed to have flown at @RAFHornchurch in 1943, eye catching to say the least !

Thanks for the replies everyone, I didnt realise the Oneshot was so badly rated. I haven't used it much and just thought it was an airbrush settings issue at first until I opened the lid. I tried to pull the skin out with tweezers but it just breaks up 😡

Struggling to paint plastic to look like wood stowage on my Sherman so I decide to make some out of wood. Grain is oversized obviously but happier with this than the plastic stuff.

Finally done on the WW1 tank, dont think I can make these rubber tracks look any more like metal with the materials I have, and added some oil/grease stains.

After a bit of advice if people dont mind, I want to research the men resting in the war graves in my charge as a CWGC volunteer. I have a mix from WW1 and WW2. Should I join Ancestry, WFA, Forces War Records or something else ? @OldFrontLinePod @WeHaveWaysPod Many Thanks all.

Well, In the end I went for just varnish in the areas where the decals went, rather than the whole model. Emhar decals went on ok, actually seemed quite thin compared to Tamiya. Then matt varnish over the whole model. Happy enough ( so far ) 👍

Building my first WW1 tank, always spoil models at this point when I overdo the gloss varnish prior to decals, so thought I'd take a final photo while it still looked ok 😂

Would anyone know what the TFM3 bit stands for in my great grandfathers paperwork. I believe the TF War bit is a territorial forces medal, am I right in thinking the roll is where its recorded somewhere ? (IWM, Records Office ?) Thanks in advance.

Would anyone be kind enough to give me an idea what a fair price is for a Great War Field Service Manual. I want one but have no idea how much is too much, not mint, just readable @OldFrontLinePod @footsteps_pod @SimonVerdegem @GreatWarForum @TrenchTrotter @battlefield1418 Thx

Money grabbing bastards, to renew a UK driving licence you need a UK passport, so in effect if I only holiday in the UK my car licence is gonna cost me £95.

Have come to conclusion that anyone who can fit Eduard Willys jeep pedals on properly should be burnt at the stake for witchcraft.

Sometimes i delete my own tweets months later, not because I'm embarrassed by it or think I've said something out of turn. I just cant be arsed to scroll through my own drivel and deleting them makes it faster when I'm looking for something. Im sure its saved somewhere anyway.
