The builds have gone on a bit of a slow down as swine flu has hit the household isolating me from the LMS to get some more paints.

Onwards with the builds

Basic colours applied


A bit of mottleling




The start of the decals


I've sent for another decal sheet as the Airfix decal curse has struck again, with the remainder of the decals falling apart either in the water or on the plane.
Bar Hu32, Hu33 and Revell 90 the plane has been painted with the tiny pots of paint which came with the giftset.

The FW190A/F8 in assembly.

Nice build with the D-9.  

The swastikas finish off the F-8 nicely.
