Thanks for every ones input, jimmaas came through with picture of exactly what I needed. Many thanks Mark

Hi, as the title suggests Im looking for any photos of the underside windows of a Brewster Buffalo. Does anyone have anything in their collections? Cheers Mark

Thanks for that ill have another look when I get home. Maybe I missed it in the instructions. Cheers

Has anybody identified parts L4,5,6&7 from the clear sprue? Dont think they are used in this kit, but for future releases. Just trying to work out where the would go. Or have I missed it in the instructions?

Wonderland Models are showing 28th Nov.

Now gone from Pre-order to Order on the Airfix website, Think that means its here guys!

Excellent result. If you hadn't have said it was brush painted I would never have known, would have thought it was airbrushed. Very smooth finish.

White Waltham airfield Photo used https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:White_Waltham_Airfield_(1).jpg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Waltham_Airfield Extract from the Wikipedia page:- "After the war, the airfield was also used by Fairey Aviation and later Westland Helicopters, which assembled and tested aircraft built at their Hayes factory. These included the Fairey FB-1 Gyrodyne (1947), Fairey Jet Gyrodyne (1954), Fairey Ultralight (1955), Fairey Rotodyne (1957) & Westland Scout (1960) & Westland Wasp (1962). The prototype Fairey Gannet was first flown from Aldermaston but production aircraft were completed and first flown at White Waltham too and an example is currently stored at the airfield."

It seems to be the wing of PA28 Cherokee, Taper wing version!

Excellent work on the canopy

I have a Molotow masking pen, very convenient and easy to use https://www.scalemodelshop.co.uk/2mm-masking-liquid-pen-molotow-728001-p16465/

I hope that box is gold plated! $330

Canopies are the best I've ever seen, Very nicely done RAF just called, they asked can you make one 72 times bigger? apparently they need one at Chester, oh and could you paint it red.

Cos I'm cheapskate I have the 395nm one but seems to be only good for highlighting & retrieving parts stolen by the carpet moster but won't cure Elegoo std gray, never tried it with any other resin. The cheap LED from my UV glue pen works well though.

My thoughts entirely, we are on a whole new level now

This is the DH84 entries on Scalemates https://www.scalemates.com/topics/topic.php?id=15105 Rugrats resin kit in 1:72 seems to be only available kit. Oxford also do a dicast https://www.oxforddiecast.co.uk/collections/dehaviland/products/dehavilland-dh84-dragon-g-ecan-railway-air-services-72dg001

Hot off the printer this afternoon for you Dennis, just need to let them dry, snip the supports off and then cure them. I'll PM you the relevant stuff in a day or so. Mark

After a search through my own ref material I've come across some more stuff From the Warpaint Buccaneer book I've found this on the scale drawings, dragged the scale onto the drawing before uploading Click here for super high res 1200 dpi scan Also a couple more pictures from that photo sortie with XX191 from this extract publication from Air International. Hope these are of some use CT

Ill get them printed probebly this week I think. Just to check, do I have the 1mm & 2mm ports the right way round?

Dont worry about printing costs (unless of course youre building a fleet😀) Just postage costs, Think your in Illinois? everything sent together should fit in the "large letter" category and if I can keep it below 100g total weight then it would be just £4 or £5.85 upto to 250g 1:48 is just a simple enlargement of 1.5x

Ok I've put those dimension on and this is what I've got, how does this look? Also there seems to be 2 different configurations of the ports, is this the one you want? or the one with a central port, which also seems to be higher too. Mark

Not sure if this is of any use Cobham CBLS 2000 datasheet https://www.cobhammissionsystems.com/weapons-carriage-and-release/air-to-ground-weapons-carriage-and-release-systems/air-to-ground-bomb-racks/cbls-2000-datasheet/ https://www.saairforce.co.za/gallery-and-media/123/cbls-2000

Ah the good old revolve tool. CAD work coming on leaps n bounds, windscreens, pylons, CBLs, wonder what goodies the other 4 drawing of the 7 you have are?

Thanks, I did have that in the stash for a while but non of the figures seemed really suitable, I'm thinking maybe 'MakeHuman' for Blender might be the way to go but its going to be a steep learning curve for me.
