And finally an update on the Boomerang! After weeks of avoiding it, I finally got around to separating the windscreen from the sliding section of the vac canopy. Sadly, that's all I can report for now. #scalemodels #histscalemodels

Just did a quick update of "Building the Revell P-51D-5NA Mustang in 1/32 Scale" to v2.4, with the addition of some EagleCals that I missed (thanks to Mark Proulx for the tip-off). Still on sale for just 10 Australian dollars!

Thanks, appreciate the comment! But truthfully, the landing gear is out of alignment, the prop isnโ€™t centred, and the canopy is slightly askew. I still like it, though, and Iโ€™m glad you do too!

And it's finished! MPM's 1/48 Fw 190S-5, which ultimately took 7 years to complete. This build absolutely doesn't stand up to close scrutiny, but I think it looks OK, and I'm really pleased to have it done. Thanks for following along! Now to return to its 1/32 brother. #histscalemodels #scalemodels

With no small amount of embarrassment and frustration, I have to report that the newly-restored credit and debit card payment option does in fact not work. My sincere apologies for the inconvenience! Iโ€™ve disabled it once again until I can find a satisfactory solution.

Credit/Debit Card Payment Options Now Availableย Again I recently became aware that the credit and debit card payment options had disappeared from the checkout page, which was a bit disconcerting, to say the least! After some investigative work and the tweaking of a few settings, I'm pleased to report that these options have now been restored. Phew! If you experience any issues paying by credit/debit card (or any issues with purchasing at all), please contact me with the details, and I'll do my best to assist.

One of the things I hate the most in modelling is installing the landing gear on an Fw 190. Nearly home...

The MPM 1/48 Fw 190S is finally approaching the finish line now. Tail wheel is installed, first flat coat done, canopy unmasked, pitot tube scratch-built, installed and painted, and some minor chipping added around the wing roots. #histscalemodels #scalemodels #fw190 #fw190s #fockewulf #mpmmodels

It's amazing how a simple, grungy panel line wash can really bring a model to life.

I'm pleased to announce that Building the Revell He 219A-7 in 1/32 Scale has just been updated to v3.0, with 35 new pages of photos from the collections of Mark Proulx and Tim Hortman that cover the early restoration of the NASM aircraft, along with a selection of historical images. For the rest of this week, I've reduced the price to just 12 Australian dollars, but it will increase from $15 to $16 thereafter (the first time I've increased prices since the inception of the business).

Making some headway with the decals on the Fw 190S. Main markings are from the kit decals, which aren't great, and I had to replace the upper wing crosses with some from a Tamiya kit. The swastikas and most of the stencils have come from a pair of Superscale sheets. #scalemodels #histscalemodels

Blasting through the rest of the paint work on the MPM Fw 190S, returning again to SMS paints for the 74/74 combo. I did all this freehand with an airbrush that badly needed a clean, so I'll be the first to concede that it's a little rough in places. #scalemodels #histscalemodels #fw190 #fw190s
