So after lurking on several other blogs, I thought I'd give one a go in an effort to get my backside into gear and actually crack on with some modelling! Little intro, I came back to modelling about 10 years or so ago and it's one of a few main hobbies that I seem to rotate through on a fairly regular basis. One of my problems is I'm my own worse critic and although I can produce things I'm happy with, not getting frustrated with how things go can be difficult.

So, what's currently on the table? At the moment, the following:

1/72 Smer D.520 which is/will be sporting an RAF Med type scheme.
1/72 ICM Su-2 which also will be sporting a similar scheme
1/72 Airfix Tempest which will be part of Royal Marine Air Corps
1/72 KP P-51B which will be a member of the Hanovarian Luftwaffe
1/72 Matchbox Gloster Schnitter also for the Hanovarian Luftwaffe

Of the five, four have got stuck at the painting stage so I think you can tell where I need the rocket. That said, I do finish some things...

Sorry for lack of movement on this front guys. I suffer from the attentions of the black dog and sadly he's been hanging around rather a lot lately. That coupled with the heat has really given the old mojo a beating, but hopefully I'll be able to make a baby step or two on one of the above that needs some stickers put on. A nice easy task to help build up the confidence again.
