Couple more of the new Zeros on the way from Airfix.com, taking advantage of the recent 10% off plus free shipping offer to stock up on kits that I would have bought anyway). Meantime, to commemoerate the immenent 60th anniversary of the sinking of Force Z, here's an Airfix Repulse that I built a couple of years ago. Excellent basic kit, but replaced some of the detail items with scratchbuilt ones, or with WEM resin and white metal items - mostly AAA mounts and boats. . Used the WEM etched set, slightly tricky to use, but superb detail. Painted with WEM paints, rigged with Lycra rigging thread. Enjoy! Cheers, Chris.

HyperScale's Group Build Guidelines

The objective of this Group Build is to encourage as many modellers as possible to build their kits and share their progress via words and photos on this Forum.

You are welcome to post general construction tips or relevant reference information and photos to this Forum too.

This Group Build will feature Airfix, Frog and Matchbox kits.

Build as many kits as you like

Conversions, aftermarket and scratchbuilding are all permitted.

Any markings are acceptable.

Document your progress and do a write-up on your build - where did you have trouble, what improvements did you make, what markings did you choose and why? It would be GREAT if everyone would do a writeup and submit it to HyperScale as a Feature Article.
