Weekly update 25 May24

Welcome to this week's dit. There's no news this week so I talk about what's going on the channel, a reveal of the next project, plus a full debrief on the Trumpeter Fulmar which I finished yesterday.

[@SMAZVidoes]

The Fulmar is looking smart. Bulldog is a great choice for a build video.

[@thescalemodellingcafe]

Thanks mate

[@archer159]

Fulmar looks super-great Jamie. Looking forward to the Bulldog and Hurri!

[@thescalemodellingcafe]

Thanks mate

[@kitbuster]

Great job on the Fulmar, roll on the Bulldog, due out next week I heard, have it on pre order at my local hobby shop so hopefully yours will be sitting waiting on you when you get home

[@thescalemodellingcafe]

Thanks mate, I hope it arrives in time

[@markbelsom3174]

Falmer build looks really nice, I've just bought the Hobbyboss TBD-1 Devastator and Miniart P-47, both should be fun to build.

[@thescalemodellingcafe]

Both great kits Mark, thanks.

[@ronaldbyrne3320]

A lot of scratchbuilding and remedial work Jamie but you have a great looking Fulmar at the end. 👍🏻

[@thescalemodellingcafe]

Thanks Ronald, it was a lot of work but worth it.

[@FinsburyPhil]

The Fulmar looks fantastic Jamie. I'm very tempted to dip into the WWII FAA subject - the options for schemes and weathering is very appealing.

[@thescalemodellingcafe]

Do it mate, they are awesome subjects

[@Duececoupe]

Greetings and salutations fellow earthling, space traveller and styrene worshipper!
The Airfix Bristol Bulldog Mk II eh, goody....I can't wait for that one as I preordered two myself!
Thought that it'd be rather cheeky not buying one when I've been asking for a new tool for a wee while, right? 😉😆😂
Hopefully this one will sell hotcakes and make them release more 1/48 aircraft from the golden era....🤞🏻

[@thescalemodellingcafe]

It looks a fabulous kit

[@Duececoupe]

@thescalemodellingcafe
It definitely does look like she'll be an awesome kit....I love how they've done the engine, it gives you a resin wibe I must say with those cylinders! 😳😲😎

[@duncanling2127]

Brillant ❤

[@thescalemodellingcafe]

Thanks Duncan

[@billestew7535]

Those pictures of the Fulmar look very nice Jamie, is there going to be a video build as well? and a Bulldog in the future is going to be great.

[@thescalemodellingcafe]

Yes mate, I said write at the start that part 2 is out today.

[@billestew7535]

@@thescalemodellingcafe Oops, typing when I should have been listening, sorry

[@neiltaylor3074]

Hi Jamie. I need some more putty and that Mr Hobby one sounds just the ticket. However they seem to do various putties so would you mind clarifying which one it is. Thank you. The Fulmar is beautiful.

[@thescalemodellingcafe]

I use the purple one Neil

[@neiltaylor3074]

@@thescalemodellingcafe Thanks Jamie much appreciated. Gut wrenching news re the BBMF Spitfire yesterday. Everyone concerned must be absolutely devastated.

[@steveNCB7754]

As a 'lightning build' then, does that mean the Bulldog will be OOB and kit decals/markings?

[@thescalemodellingcafe]

Not quite OOB Steve, I've got some brass gun barrels and a seat harness to dress things up. And who uses decals these days.....? 😄

[@steveNCB7754]

@@thescalemodellingcafe Oh yeah - 'my bad' 👍
