Spitfires in the Antipodes Models: April 2011
http://spitfiresintheantipodesmodels.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Spitfires in the Antipodes Models. Tuesday, April 26, 2011. I got the bumps! More on the Dragon 'Galland' Bf 109E build. I've been making notes as I go of any errors I find in the kit and so far these have only been of a minor nature. The nose machine gun detail is very nice but unfortunately it gets int he way of the cowling fitting correctly over the nose. The solution is either don't put the cowling on or hack the ammunition chutes with a hobby knife so the cowling will fit. If Tamiya had made...While...

Spitfires in the Antipodes Models: March 2011
http://spitfiresintheantipodesmodels.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Spitfires in the Antipodes Models. Saturday, March 12, 2011. A few more comments on Bf 109 kit. As I build this kit I'm constantly reminded that it is not a Tamiya Spitfire. Building the kit really does illustrate just how good the Tamiya Spitfire kits are and leads one to ask the question, why is it that no other manufacturer can match them. Take a look at the photo of the tailwheel of the Dragon kit. It has nicely molded detail but look at all those molding tabs, all three of them! Is the kit 'bad'?

Spitfires in the Antipodes Models: New AI decal for Tamiya P-51 Mustang
http://spitfiresintheantipodesmodels.blogspot.com/2011/06/new-ai-decal-for-tamiya-p-51-mustang.html
Spitfires in the Antipodes Models. Wednesday, June 15, 2011. New AI decal for Tamiya P-51 Mustang. For many of us, the first P-51 Mustang model we built was Airfix's 1/72nd kit with markings for 'Fool's Paradise'. Although Airfix didn't get the markings right or give any detail on the aircraft, it has become something of a quintessential representation of the P-51. As the more interest, the more likely it is that I'll be able to reduce the price. Spitfires in the Antipodes Models. Blog and Website Links.

Spitfires in the Antipodes Models: July 2011
http://spitfiresintheantipodesmodels.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Spitfires in the Antipodes Models. Sunday, July 10, 2011. Slow progress on the Eduard Bf 109. Now that I'm well into building this kit I can see it is inferior to the Cyber-hobby kit I built recently. Again we have proof that 'in box' reviews are an absolute waste of time. The kit parts on the sprues look ok even though they do have some flash and when you cut the main parts off and 'dry fit' them together all seems to be ok. Spitfires in the Antipodes Models.

Spitfires in the Antipodes Models: October 2011
http://spitfiresintheantipodesmodels.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Spitfires in the Antipodes Models. Friday, October 7, 2011. Just a quick update on 1/32nd scale P-51 Mustang build and decals. The Tamiya kit build is basically on hold while I work on the RAAF Mustang decals commission. This is taking much longer than expected but it should be worth the effort in the end with some never seen before RAAF Mustangs. My advice is to look at the primary reference photos right here on this blog and put little weight on the other photos floating around the internet.

Spitfires in the Antipodes Models: June 2011
http://spitfiresintheantipodesmodels.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Spitfires in the Antipodes Models. Thursday, June 30, 2011. It's only a model! Recently I've seen some comments about 'fondling' and 'caressing' the Tamiya Mustang kit and 'plastic lust' upon opening the box lid. I find it difficult to relate to someone who makes these comments even if jest. It's just way too geeky, nerdish, socially disfunctional and simply odd. It's only a model! Which Monty Python film was it? Little bits of plastic that you glue together and paint. Spitfires in the Antipodes Models.

Spitfires in the Antipodes Models: February 2011
http://spitfiresintheantipodesmodels.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Spitfires in the Antipodes Models. Friday, February 4, 2011. Tamiya and Aero Imageworks together. Does it get any better than this? I don't think so. Spitfires in the Antipodes Models. New 1/32nd scale Bf 109E-4 kit. While searching around for a kit to depict Galland's Bf-109E in 1/48 scale I came across this new kit from Dragon Models in their 'Wing Tech' Series in 1/32nd scale. This looks to be an excellent kit but for some reason it hasn't received much publicity. Spitfires in the Antipodes Models.
