Re: Mike W's workbench thread
A brilliant pair of builds Mike. The wing camo on the '110 is unusual, I don't think I've seen that type of pattern before.
Doing - Tamiya 1/35th Universal Carrier.

Super work! Cutlass turned out really sharp.

Re: Mike W's workbench thread
Great looking builds Mike.
I have a feeling I've seen that Kitty Hawk Banshee before - Have you ever posted it on facebook?
Edit (just looked again): I have seen it before lol - I've heard it's a Kittyhawk kit and therefore unbuildable - so you did a great job!

Yep, its been on my Facebook page and doubtless been shared by fellow modellers on there too.Sir T wrote:Great looking builds Mike.

It is not entirely accurate , shape wise around the intake and wing to fuselage join, but its head and shoulders above the very old and basic Hawk kit from way back when.
It was also published in last months issue of Model Airplane International magazine, so you may have seen it there?

Re: Mike W's workbench thread
It's a great looking build Mike - No I've seen it on the Friends of KH group page. I was a member of the SMCG for a while but I left as it was one of the most negative modelling communities I've ever encountered - That and I didn't like the pandering to certain peoples egos.Mikeew wrote:Yep, its been on my Facebook page and doubtless been shared by fellow modellers on there too.Sir T wrote:Great looking builds Mike.

Looking good Mike. Do you know if that Daco Products decal solution is quite a bit stronger than the Microscale "red" bottle solution that I normally use to persuade decals to conform with awkward surfaces?

Re: Mike W's workbench thread
Thanks chaps.
ShaunW, yes it's VERY strong. Probably twice as strong as microsol

Re: Mike W's workbench thread
Very nice work on the Tornado. The decals look great. I can see how they could make one nervous though. Do you start from one end and work your way to the other to keep the spaced properly? I have never build an aircraft with such extensive coverage with decals.
