Bonjour and good morning #histscalemodel gang!
Just a little reminder that on May 1st, the #BastilleBuild 🇫🇷 group build starts! It's never too early to order those aftermarket accessories ;)

Decal day 4. I was fearing the worst after trouble with fuel tank stencils but it is going well so far.

As an aside the rain has finally stopped after 22 days of the stuff. Mostly because it is colder so it is snow instead.

Yum, Mrs B did a Burns Supper. It was ace. As usual we discussed why we don't have it more often. Tomorrow we will forget this conversation for a year.

I don't have much brand loyalty as you have seen from #buildthestash stocktake. Saved the best to last. Eduard are my favourite kit manufacturer, but boy are they intense builds, so I only build a couple a year. One Zero has been built from Tora Tora Tora box.

The Tamiya section is the largest. If I am going to succeed in #buildthestash I probably have to put aside my view that armour is placed in a vignette/diorama

The Hasegawa section of #buildthestash . The seller of the T4 failed to mention the lack of decals which was the whole bloody point of the purchase.

This is a beautiful kit. Undercarriage tomorrow, it looks fiddly but I am hoping it will be as smooth as everything else.

The reviews are not wrong, the Airfix Jag is superb. Any fuck ups will be mine alone. Thanks to the rigour of #buildthestash I am looking forward to getting tucked into the Airfix section #histscalemodels

What next? If I am going to #buildthestash then getting tucked into the Airfix kits I buy but somehow ignore. 6 years since I last built an Airfix. Unlike most I am not going Desert Storm, local(ish) instead.

First for 26. Tamiya's 1/48 F-15J. 60th Anniversary of Chitose Airbase, as flown by 201 Squadron JASDF. Unsure if this variant is correct, but just look at those tails. Kept her clean. 2 tone grey may be too subtle.

Not only am I fed up with the weather (no snow so far today but a couple inches due tonight), max temp minus 5. I am tiring of decals, 75% done. Underside to go.

I have lived in Aberdeenshire for 11 years, the older folk tell me this is what it used to be like. However, speaking as a Guernseyman, this is not normal. 6 days of the stuff, 6 days shovelling the drive just in case. I have never seen this much snow.

Weird decals sessions today. Same sheet, same process, same weather conditions. Yesterday and Saturday, smooth as silk. Today the decals are lifting after about 30 mins. I don't understand why.
