1/48 Italeri Hs 123. In an exclusive poll consisting of all the modellers in my house called Gorby, this was voted 'kit most deserving of a punch in the face'.
1/48 Italeri Ju 87G. Featuring - 'Messerschmitt maintenance made easy', "Aaarrrh, that's where the sticky-out things go". When they were told they were being sent a pointer, they hoped for something with a waggy tail.
I had to glue three of those toasting forks back on before it was ready for it's time in the limelight, and I'll look forward to many years of gluing the bloody things back on.
Tamiya Me 262 & Kettenkrad My first 'returnee' build which is why it's hiding in the shed. Quick! Push it back in or those damn Britishers will laugh at it. What fool put that stripy thing on the drinks trolley?
Trumpy Me 509. We need to give the ground crew a round of applause for their dedication spending the entire war pretending to work. It reminds me of my own career.
As I had my hanger dio out for a recent photo shoot, I had a go at using it for it's original purpose – as a photo prop rather than a dio. In a pitiful attempt to try and replicate old photos I've done them in glorious monocolour (don't even think of telling me they're in the wrong shade of grey!). Through the medium of Gimp (Photoshop for those people to tight to buy Photoshop) I've bullied several thousand pixels into pretending to be a background, as it gives the game away slightly if there is an enormous Revell Contacta on the horizon. It's the first time I've tried this so if you laugh enough to cause yourself an injury, I really don't need to know. The observant (pedantic) amongst you may note that the background isn't entirely consistent with the background in some of the other photos. This is because this is a top secret revolving aerodrome which the nazis would almost certainly been developing (but probably only if they were drinking the same stuff as I am).
