Ok, firstly I build what ever takes my fancy however I mainly build 1/350 WWII era ships mainly cruisers and any aircraft. However my favourite aircraft being the mighty Beaufighter, Sepecat Jaguar, Hawker Hunter, Fw-190 and the Su-27 family. I also like wheeled armour like the Stryker and Centauro ...

I owe everyone an apology. I forgot to click the important little button that makes these features go "live" so it was sitting in the Admin directory and not letting anyone read it. It should work now.

These are just great. Thank you Jessie for the link and thank you to Luciano for taking the pictures. I am just about to start the wheel wells on the Special Hobbies kit so this is very timely. Of course it means removing the detail from the kit parts and starting from scratch . . . I see a lot of tiny bits in my future . . . Warwick
