14 November 2024 - Combrig 1/700 HMS Harpy
Well here's another interesting extra-little challenge. Combrig are new to me but the kit looks well made. The real challenge here is just how tiny all the parts are, some serious dexterity is going to be required!

Welsh Models 1/144 Avro Lincoln B Mk.30
My first go at a kit from Welsh Models who produce a nice range of slightly "off mainstream" subjects in fairly decently moulded resin and white metal. Can't say it was without challenge as any kit of this type tends to be, but pretty pleased with how it turned out. Made for a customer in Australia whose uncle flew them. I always like a personal connection!

Featured Build: Liberator for the RAF
Revell 1/48 B-24D (built as a Liberator II)
When I was asked if I could build a 1/48 RAF Liberator II my initial reaction was "no" because no such kit exists. However a little research revealed that if you start with a B-24D it is just about doable with a little courage with the scalpels, saws and putty.
The Revell 1/48 B-24D is a 1970s mould but still good and with a little care and attention still holds its own. Even after having been butchered into an RAF variant!
