Welcome back to the hobby :thumb:

The airfix nimrod is a very nice kit, I dont do 72nd much any more but when I bought one to see what the fuss was about when it first came out I felt I had to build it. I liked it so much I bought another one to convert into the aew3 with some waddo decals from model alliance for both of them.

As Mark has said, he is our local hawk dude so he would be the best to ask about those :thumb:

Other than that, I hope you enjoy the hobby again. We are all here to help if we can and please feel free to post your builds/finished kits as there is none of the nastyness you may find on other forums (I see to that :lol: ).

Enjoy :thumbs:

OK, due to a modelling fatality involving my IL-76 build over on CA I am back to military.

I have decided to finally build the hasegawa F-14 tomcat in 48th scale in memory of a very good friend of mine who died two years ago. Before anyone asks no he wasnt a pilot, this was just his favourite aircraft. I will be doing it in his choice of scheme which was the jolly rogers. He had a jacket which was covered in tomcat patches, but the jollies were his favourite.

I wont be posting it as a build as this one will mean a lot to me so I really want to do it right, I will however post it in the gallery as a tribute to him.

And what a fitting tribute you can't get better than the mighty cat :)

Looking forwards to seeing it in the Gallery mate.

And what's on my bench? Erm......................................nothing (yet)

Super sabre - needs drop tanks and weathering
Kyfo - needs cockpit frame painting and possibly a diorama
YB-49 - needs (lots of) paint
B-17 - still in box but not for long

I only have an F-14 on the bench at the moment (nothing special).

But running out of stuff to build as most of my stash has been allocated for GB's on another forum.

And here is my paltry stash:
