After watching that wonder "James Mays Toy Stories" on the Beeb last night it got me wondering. How many of you aircraft buffs make/made em?
if so what and have you got and pics?

In my yoof I was know to attach parts of a model aeroplane to myself with various solvents, moving into later years I went more into tabletop wargames (it gave painting the toy soldiers some purpose) but I still bash out the occasional 'real life' model (got a 1:25 scale Sherman I keep meaning to get round to doing).

Its compulsory isnt it?
youve never made a scale model until one vital piece is missing only to be found stuck to some part of your anatomy a few days later.

I make 'em.
No pics tho, I have a wip right now but I need to buy a decent airbrush compressor in order to finish it. Then I'll take the pics

My favs are Fine Moulds and Hasegawa (pretty good to begin with), but I'm going to try an Eduard kit soon

I'm definitely not good!! You'll see it from my pics

Same as King Jareth I have more experience with toy soldiers, but I prefer RL planes.

And the brand choice is made mainly because I love kits with tons of parts (which make me swear a lot actually!)...

Yeah i know what you mean especially when stuff starts melting with the glue and you get all that stringy mess.
