MODELLER OF THE MONTH

October 2026

This month we're handing the spotlight over to Peter, who's shared his fantastic 1:72 scale HC.2 Search and Rescue build with us.

WHY I BUILD...

"I build models because I always have and always will. My space, my time, love it."

THE BUILD 🔍

Peter's put plenty of care into his HC.2 Search and Rescue model, adding Quickboost seats and exhausts and elastic thread for the HF aerial.

For the finishing touches, he used Xtracolor RAF Rescue Yellow, lightly weathered with Flory brown wash, and a combination of markings.

PETER'S TOP TIP 💡

"Just take care and dry fit before committing to glue."

Simple advice. Very good advice. Especially if you've ever glued something in place a little too enthusiastically.

YOUR BUILD COULD BE NEXT!

Got a build you're proud of? We'd love to see it.

Whether you've been modelling for decades or you've just finished your first kit, we want to hear what makes you pick up the glue and paintbrush.

For your chance to feature as our next Modeller of the Month, send your photos, a little about your build and tell us why you love the hobby.

Your model. Your story.
