I’ve also recently ‘restarted’ the hobby and whilst I’m no expert I’ll offer my 2p’s worth!

I’ve always found paints vary, metallics are especially hard to work with. It’s best not to use the paints as they are out of the tin, I find they take some stirring (sometimes up to twenty minutes work!) and often some thinning with either white spirit or the paint thinners produced specifically for the purpose. To get the best results it’s sometime worth thinning the paint right down and applying two or more coats.

I notice acryllic paints are more popular these days, I have no real experience with those but I guess they would be thinned with water?

I believe the awards will be announced/presented on the 22nd of October. I ‘won’ tickets to the ceremony as a result of a drawer I entered when I voted (for Stow Maries, of course) but unfortunately can’t attend.

I made my first trip to Shuttleworth in far too long and took my wife to her first ever airshow.

The chance to see the RE8 and Albatross motivated me to make the effort and we both thoroughly enjoyed the day,
