  1. Sticking things is fine, painting the yellow, or in this case red and white prop bits, nah!!!! Big win for the U's today mate. Off to Notts County next week as it is only a few miles away.
  2. Painting all those propellers, you've got far more patience than I McDuff. I hate doing them at the best of time. Other than that great work.
  3. Nice. Was always one of my favourite Matchbox kits. Did a few of these.
  4. Thats crazy talk, B-58 looks fast just parked up.
  5. If you are opening the gates I would go for a Caravelle, but for aircraft that do Military things, Hunter by a mile, maybe a Draken, then a Spit MkVIII, maybe a Starfighter slips in there, Tigercat as above.....Gnat is lovely little thing......
  6. Hawker Hunter, easy peasy. Oddly enough two were on FR24 round Lincoln yesterday.
  7. I made a profit when I sold it LOL. I paid 3000DM, sold it for 3200DM and it needed a new exhaust at that point so I did alright.
  8. You should have seen me in my Nissan Sunny!!
  9. Got a farm in Hampshire or Surrey I think, so not short of a few bob.
  10. Thats a lovely bit of work, some really nice weathering going on there. You know what, this is screaming out for a simple resin water/sand beach diorama.
  11. In my experience it is the Military changing what they need every two or three years when the Officer in charge of identifying the requirement is posted out and the new incumbent in post wants to make a name for themselves.
  12. Quality document. As noted before, these were held on Microfische for years. In the Section DMC 22 & 23, Ground and Flying Clothing, lists of prices so people could be billed for losing kit. Up in the Oil, Paints, Fuels & Lubes, a good few products there that would be banned nowadays due to their contents, Trike is one I noted. Sure I read of a Safety Equipper taking the MoD to court because of Health complications.
  13. Cough.....26WX was the Domestic Management Code.........1680 was the section......99 was the Nation Code...........1234567 (from 3 to 7 figures) was the reference number..... .......much as we always called them the Section Ref. Thirty years a stacker, there must be a film in it.
  14. Also job as LAC scrote in the Section.
  15. That will be for the resin boys rather than Airfix I reckon. This kit looks quality.
  16. Gillingham - Kent - Say it like the J in Jarhead so Jillingham Gillingham - Dorset - Say it like G in Girl so Gillingham A couple of miles from me.... Leasingham pronounced Less-ingham Anwick pronounced Annick
  17. The cousins ahead of their time. I was in Incerlik for four months back in 2000, the local American Forces Network Radio station, called maybe Radio Freedom or Radio Liberty, was using the phrase constantly. It took me a few days and hangovers before I could work out what they meant.
  18. Did catch me out when hearing the Cousins talking about 'Turk eye yea' when referring to local Turkish customs. I also find the fact that everybody who appears on some rubbish reality TV show has undergone 'a journey'. Where on earth did this come from?
  19. Just remember sitting in Eng Ops and the Fat Controller repeatedly saying Rotortune after blade changes....
  20. That looks very nice. Airfix had to make a choice of whether to make the fuselage inner HC Mk1 or 2, I guess they went for the more interesting shaped Mk2 version. Realistically the average modeller will go with it. If it is a concern I suspect it would be no biggie to cover the pipework etc. However if the fuselage was made initially as a Mk1 and you wanted to recreate a Mk2, it would be far more of a job to sort.
  21. Not so sure on that, I think three Open Line points on both sides and a Hi-Pressure point front right Starboard side on both versions.
  22. The down draft from a Chinook is awesome, however oddly I found the Merlin even stronger, hell of a draft.
