It is indeed an Airfix, I can't find a date on it thought.

Looking nice! I have one built and one stashed. Got a couple more builds polished off at the weekend.

And a BF110

Not bad for knackered ebay wins! The Heron needed tail control surfaces, cabin door and paint, the 110 needed props, gear and painting.

I've not built a '110 in ages. Might need to do one soon!

Just caught up with all your splendid builds, Blue - you have been busy!:applause: The Dove and Heron were a very pretty de Havilland pair weren't they? I must look out for a kit of each.

Glad you like Charlie! The Heron is Airfix and way out of production, but can be found on thiefbay. There is a Dove/Devon kit too, but it's quite scarce. Shame, I'd love one because I think our Devon's a pretty little thing.

That's what I call a restoration!;) Modelling tip please - the best way to securely attach props, which have broken off, to spinners.

The smallest amount of glue you can get away with, and very steady hands Charlie! I dot the broken end of the blade onto the bubble which forms in the nozzle of the glue if you just squeeze it a tiny bit. If the prop has lost all it's blades re-fit one and let it dry thoroughly. You can then use that one as a master to get the right angles for fitting the rest :)

Another done and dusted, the old Revell 1/32 Beaufighter. It's come out nicely, but bewarned if you're looking to build this. Firstly, there's no cockpit detailing (I've had to scratch build my own!), and secondly, once built it's massive!

Nice! I've seen that Beaufighter before - are you on the Airfix builders group on Facebook, perchance??

The Beaufighter is a fine build!! Nothing to give us a sense of scale, though, since you make the point about its size. And thanks for the earlier tip - I missed it. I have some blades to attach at the weekend, so will put your advice to good use.:)

Guilty!

Charlie, good luck, let me know how you get on. I'll take a pic of the Beau with something to give an idea of scale. Should've thought of that...!

Nice! I'm doing one of those myself.

I hope you're doing it the easy way, not the way that involves the remains of 3 different kits!

No, the three of them are all OOB jobs!
