James' aircraft workbench

Hi all,

A few photos of my recently completed 1:72 Mosquito Mk.XVIII from Airfix. Hope you enjoy

Very nice work. can i ask what colours did you use for the green & grey?

[UP6936]

Green is humbrol 30, and the grey is humbrol 64. Don't know what the name for each colour is, sorry! But the code should let you find them easy enough

Lovely. Next move now is to try the 24th scale version. An ANIMAL!

Hold on while I just build a hangar on the back of the house to keep it in Weshty! LOL

As it happens, I'm having something of an aviation modelling mood at the minute, and the next project is already on the bench, an Airfix MiG 21 in 1:72. It's quite an old kit so I'm not sure what it's like in terms of accuracy, but it's a fun build so far and is my first go at a natural metal finish. I'll stick photos of the finished article up on here when it's done

As promised, the MiG 21.

Thanks! I will try to keep it updated as well I can with any builds I do, and I'd really appreciate any advice people have on how I can improve and what not. Thanks again Garfield
