One from me, completed over the last two to three days. Please don't laugh, it's very amateurish! :D
It's a Revell 1:72 GR1A, specially packaged up for sale in M&S.
So come on then, let's see your best efforts (which will undoubtedly be better than mine!)

I have just been looking at the Hannants web site and come across this.
As a result of the fall in the value of the £ nearly everything we stock that is imported is going to have to increase in price.
We know we are not going to be able to supply many of the Sold Out items at the price we are showing them at and we will be removing most prices from Sold Out as soon as we can.
We have also removed the prices from most Future Releases as most will increase.
Ill stick to Mr Models and Wonderland myself for kits.

One from me - a Tamiya 1/48th Spit mk 1 - sorry about the slightly overscale duck in the background! Composition not really a strong point of mine! First model completed after an absence from the hobby of around 20 years- pleased to be back!
Hope you like.
cheers
Rick

Thanks Goose
I do have some others but they are stuck on a crashed External HDD :evil:
I'm sending it off to see what can be salvaged. I'll see if I can get some more pix if the weather holds.
Thanks again
Rick

Tom (Takamota) has now completed the Pave Low and its now in my hands. He's done a fantastic job converting the Revell CH-53G/GS into one of the best Pave Low's I've ever seen. This particular Pave Low served with the 21st SOS 'Dust Devils' based at RAF Mildenhall.
I don't have a proper set up for taking good shots indoors, so the above photographs don't do justice to the model.
Give me the real thing though and I'm pretty decent...
Hope you like.
Neil.

SteveS you were robbed mate everyone else on here has used an airbrush 
I used to make models many years ago and an airbrush was a must to get a good finish on finished models : :bounce:
But yours was a good effort just the same mate.
As for the rest, absolutely fantastic work done, many hours I bet spent creating such high quality finishes, thank you very much for sharing.

Nicely finished Monty, what did you use for the white and is that a wash you've used in the panel lines?

Cheers Rick - for the white I used Citadel Colour Skull White (a habit left over from Warhammer days!) and then washed the panel lines. Also preshaded in black too to make it look a bit older.

I found this MASKOL is great for masking the canopies or anything that can't be taped and it is easy to apply easy to remove
