started work on kit#1 today, Revell's A-6E Intruder. I started re-scribing the fuselage halves and I laid down the base colors on the Verlinden cockpit update for it :-)

Reporting for duty!, SH-60B upgraded to an "F" in 72nd scale. Started on the cockpit yesterday, using Eduard's extensive update PE set for the Hasegawa kit. Have also an F-7F-3N Tigercat in the hangar deck. Waiting for some goodies before I get started on that project. This is AMT/ERTL's kit in 1/48th. :-)

:-) Didn't realise it was time to start, must get the Barbarossa and AoA campaigns finished first. Looks like I will be doing an A-7, got a verlinden update set for it. Had it years, about time it got built :-)

Well for myself I have a HobbyCrap....I mean Craft 1/72 S-2F Tracker....will be in Canadian markins to be a little unique...they did fly off of a carrier till the late 60s early 70s, HMCS Bonaventure, an ex-British carrier, Canada used it as an ASW carrier, and flew the trackers as well as Sea Kings off of it. Not sure what squadren markings I have, as it was bought years ago, going to have to dig it out and see!!

Will see how time permits as to whether I will get a second aircraft built or not....this kit may give me fits as them hobbycraft kits leave something to be desired!!!!

Hi all

Classic Airframes 1/48 scale de Havilland Sea Hornet here :-)

I've started cleaning up some the plastic parts, but the first big job will be removing all the resin pour-stubs before I can tell if the parts will fit... :-)

Touch wood, it all looks like it should be fairly straightforward... that's tempted fate :-)

All the best

Rowan
