I started this Ducati in 23 and after 3 failed attempts I finally got the Marlboro logos onto the side fairings. I should now be able to finish in 25. What a pain in the arse. 🤬😁

A bit of a change of plan. The Tamiya kit is not the best but with great, new decals. The Hasegawa kit is better but with old and faded decals. So the old switcheroo is in place. 😁👍

3 large decals left but a lot have been done. Very good ones from Hasegawa, crisp, clear and laid well. I'll get the rest done tomorrow then leave them to dry fully. 👍👍

The full moon is covered in mist so here's some planes leaving their marks instead. 😁👍

The shell has been painted and I have discovered my camera phone hates blue. It keeps turning it to a dark Royal Blue.
Painted with the fabulous Mr Color Aqueous paints. And yes I got a rogue speck of dust right on the last pass...

While I wait for the shell of the Lancia to dry I thought I'd start something simple. The 40 year old Porsche should do it. A basic kit with brand new Cartograf decals. First time I've seen the clear parts already attached.

I have to get the shell painted and then try and get it paired with the body without scratching the paint work. 😲👍

I finished up my winter Tamiya Kubel. As mentioned to Tom I've been slapping weathering products on this and trying out a few things. The chipping worked, but uneccessary. The acrylic mud is good and using oil paints has been a fun experience.

Right, that is me done with the Airfix Shackleton. A very good kit, great decals and in the end a good looking plane. A few mistakes and a few things I will do differently next time but overall happy with how it's turned out.

Modelling friends. My boss found a couple of bottles of isopropryl rubbing alcohol in the covid leftovers. Is this the stuff that can be used to clean airbrushes etc? Cheers.
