I build scale models of aircraft and other vehicles - some as commissions for customers and some for my own pleasure.
Bugatti Movie
This is a beautiful kit from Italeri - one of the best I've seen. It goes together really well and the fit is absolutely perfect. It was great fun to weather it and create a well worn racer at the end of its life. I worked from this amazing build video and I can't praise it highly enough if you want this look: th-cam.com/video/LshCf5XdyCM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=colt0X2SMYgE33de
The only note I would say if you are building this is where it tells you to screw the front axle together - make sure you glue it as well. There was a LOT of swearing when mine collapsed at the last minute.
Massively recommended though - well worth the high kit price.

Thunderbirds 'Fireflash'
มุมมอง 3308 หลายเดือนก่อน
One of the all-time classic Thunderbirds episodes - Series 1 Episode 5 - 'Trapped in the Sky'. The new supersonic airliner 'Fireflash' has a bomb hidden in its landing gear so they can't land conventionally. Thunderbird 2 is dispatched for the first time with a cargo of 4 elevator cars so the plane can touch down on them instead. A magic episode that I remember fondly from my childhood (I was j...
Range Rovers
มุมมอง 1099 หลายเดือนก่อน
Two 1/24 scale kits built to show a couple of classic Range Rovers. The first in blue is a 1971 two-door example - built from the Revell kit. Builds quite nicely but lacks the detail and finish of later kits. The second in Grey is a 1994 four-door version built from the Aoshima kit - a much newer kit with fantastic detail and fit.
Tiger I Mid Production

This is an older Tamiya kit - so while it has the quality it doesn't go together as well as their later kits. This is weathered to be a fairly battered example late in the war.
Helenic Rafale
มุมมอง 5619 หลายเดือนก่อน
I built this kit for a customer who collects Hellenic Airforce models - and it's actually a really good scheme. It's from the Revell 1/48 kit which was a bit of a surprise. Builds really well and is very well thought out.
Sea Vixen
มุมมอง 1529 หลายเดือนก่อน
Airfix 1/48th kit is the usual high standard of recent Airfix - buils really well. This model was built for Jonathon Whaley who flew the Sea Vixen featured in the Royal Navy in the 1960s. Beautiful plane - and it was fascinating to hear Jonathon talk about how it compared with the Phantom he flew later, and his 'Miss Demeanor' Hunter. I think it might be a Thunderbirds thing - but I have a real...
Zombie Van
มุมมอง 1209 หลายเดือนก่อน
Built from a truly horrible snap-together Revell kit from the 70s - this van was originally a Charlie's Angels tie in. Instead it became a post-apocalyptic zombie van, with metallic paint and dep-pile shag replaced with heavily rusted exterior and scratch built seats in the back and a big zombie bar on the front. Great fun to do - and not a Farrah Fawcett blonde flick in sight!
Mustang P-51D Lou IV
มุมมอง 5369 หลายเดือนก่อน
I built this and another Mustang from the Tamiya 1/32 Tamiya kits. If you haven't built one of these - give it a go, they are just so impressive and beautifully thought out. As you build, it is really obvious the person who designed it builds models - unlike a lot of other kits where they really don't have a clue!
Fireblade Movie
มุมมอง 1639 หลายเดือนก่อน
This is the Tamiya 1/12 scale Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade 30th Anniversary painted and custom graphics for the Marvel HCL Motorsport team competing in the British Superbike Superstock Championship in 2023. Beautiful kit went together really well - but all those graphic were 'challenging' (euphamism alert). Great fun though!

A beautiful kit of the flying wing produced by the Nazis at the end of WW2
Monogram 1/8 E Type

A huge kit of possibly the most beautiful car in the world. Built to match the customers own car and about two feet in length!
XB 70 Valkyrie
มุมมอง 3052 ปีที่แล้ว
This is the Italeri version of the old Ertl kit - I think it dates from the 1970s but I'm not sure. It's a huge kit - about a metre long (3 feet in old money) and the fit of the parts is 'challenging'. It's such a beautiful aircraft though that the build is well worth the extra effort.
Bristol Beaufighter 1/48 Scale
มุมมอง 1.8K2 ปีที่แล้ว
This is a build to commemorate Wing Commander George Stainforth. He was an amazing man who was part of the team that won the 1931 Schneider Trophy, and was also the first man to fly at more than 400mph. There's a whole lot more about his complex life as well - and his relative Gordon Stainforth has written about it here if you are interested: www.gordonstainforth.co.uk/ Gordon is an interesting...
P61 Black Widow 1/48 Scale
มุมมอง 1.5K2 ปีที่แล้ว
This is the HobbyBoss kit of the Black Widow - it build well but feels like a 1/72 kit scaled up to 1/48. Beautiful aircraft though - the twin boom is great, and I love a night fighter colour scheme!

Hey ! It's a super bird you made... Thanks a lot to share the build on your website.
Pure Beauty.
Beautiful work! Your weathering is spot on. Well done. Subd.
I have the same kit, I bought it back in the 1990's, I haven't decided whether to go for the gusto and build it or just keep it in the box. I read somewhere they are considering re releasing it. I also have the 1/8th scale '23 T- bucket that I built back in the 1990's sitting on a shelf.
素晴らしい技術！ 素晴らしい造り込み！
Horten !!!
Back in 1982, I went on a field trip to Bolling AFB in MD. I saw a Ho229, (no wings attached and a lot of pieces at the time.) , the Avro Air Car and a forward section of a B29. Always thought it would have been bigger before actually seeing one.
ジブリ感あるなぁ～笑
and just like the 23 t -bucket.i would build for nephew.he owned one years. ago.real car.
I hope I'll have the money.to get that some day.long as I'm still here.only my future will ever know.and as long as I could still build models.
Is there a reason for the right main gear being "collapsed?
Can also see Mr Upton PE. I was there from 79 so this is definitely earlier. Fond memories.
Excellent job with the tonal variations!
@scalemodelmakeruk881 ...How did you manage to cut out the wing panels and what did you use? The plastic is so fragile so it would be really good to know exactly how you did this. Can you advise please?
So sorry for slow reply - glad you liked it. I cut the panels with a sharp scalpel (lots of gentle slow cuts along panel lines) until I could bend along the line and break the last portion. Gentle sanding after that and you lose the minimum of actual panel.
How did you manage to cut the upper surface wing panels and what did you use?? That clear plastic is really fragile.
Sorry for slow reply - it’s not that bad if you are careful. I cut with a scalpel until I can bend along the scored line and break the rest. That way you lose minimum actual panel (whereas you would with a saw)
Beautiful!! I love the fact that the panels are removed to see the gorgeous structure, engines and fuel tanks. Stunning
Recently acquired this beast through ebay. Looking forward to getting it and then taking about, oh, 36 years to make. :) Over 500 pieces? Yikes! Exurberantly rubbing hands in anticipation.
absolutely fantastic I have never seen anything like it and think it is absolutely fantastic and an incredible feat of craftsmanship
I liked the ending hug.

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY
Had that kit about 1967. First box came with some missing parts (minimal importance) so I contacted Airfix who sent me a replacement box immediately and ended up with two kits (I'd expected just to get the missing parts)
Lovely finish 👍
Thanks Basil!
Very excellent work dear friend. I once did a B-17 G in scale 1/72. I did a version with Yugoslav markings. I even have these decals as well. You can see them on my channel if you are interested as well.
Date wise I'd go with 75 as normally my sister and I would go on these walks. I left in 75 and the guys I can name are the ones that went on to form the ill fated 6th form.
@ 2.57 that is Mr Elmer the music teacher.. One of the Cars in the video is a fiat 850 which were manufactured from 1964 to 1973 and another is a G registration which is manufactured in 1968. This footage could be late 60,s early 70,s

@@mushroom_coloured_stepthro Pulling a Munson. Munson now. That takes me back!
Mr Elmer was a memorable teacher - I liked him a lot. It's definitely the 70s and mid 70s seems nearer looking at my brother Richard. I think people just kept cars longer and bought older ones in those days!
Very excellent work dear friend. I love it.
Thanks - glad you enjoyed it.
@@scalemodelmakeruk Yes I have. You're welcome. P.S. I like your channel.
@@Harikejn Thanks - early days!
@@scalemodelmakeruk OK. I also did assemble some of my model kits as well. You can see them on my channel if you are interested as well.
Amazing! What year was this taken?
Hard to say - no dates I can find but I would say early-mid 70s?
@@scalemodelmakeruk I left in 1974 and cannot remember anything like this. Could be 1975 as I recongnise one of the lads who would have been in the year below me.
@@vickireek That's a couple of people suggested '75 - so that's looking favourite!
Interesting; I did rather think the little lad with the mop of hair and glasses was Paul. 🙂
The Higtons are all there - except for my Dad (John) who is behind the camera. Times we first appear are: Colin - 0:13 Richard - 0:25 Paul - 0:37 Mum (Brenda) - 0:48
@@scalemodelmakeruk Hi, yes...just re-watched and saw Richard painting something. Was in his year at western mere. And I was in Aladdin which I believe your mother was in... happy days...
