Superb job on all of them, Martin!
Wonderful builds, Martin @iwantedwings
I do like that winter camouflage scheme a lot.
cheers guys was a lot of fun and sometimes a lot of hard work and lots of mistakes but I am very happy to be able to paint even this good up to month ago I had never used an airbrush dual action and only even used the cheep badger air can so you can image I'm delighted to get a result so good for my level on modelling skills
Cool builds Martin 👍
Cheers Guy thank you I must get down to Boxsted soon
AK have just released a very interesting book on Boxted. I will try to pick a copy up at Telford in November 👍
that's right Guy I know both authors and have been working from that book doing these models decals are super and they corrected others that have been mistaken over the years I would recommended it for modelling but I will say its not a group history
Nice paintwork! They look lovely.
cheers greg thank you
