Lovely job! I bought this kit today as I saw it on offer. When I get around to it, I’ll be happy if I can get somewhere close to doing as good a job as you have. Tony

Most impressive!

Great result from such an old kit and I really like the weathered effect you’ve achieved. I also believe the ailerons should be either both level or in opposite positions to each other. What else is in hiding? Tony

That’s amazing!

Is it kit number 8002 from 1996? The instructions downloaded from Scalemates show it fitted on page 6. Tony

My deepest condolences. ‘Grief is the price we pay for love’.

I’d be happy with any of these: 1/72 Handley Page Halifax Handley Page Hampden Republic P-47D Thunderbolt Avro Lancaster Tallboy or Grand Slam Avro Manchester Jaguar GR.1 Hawker Hunter F6 Hawker Hunter T.7 Puma HC1 Tornado GR.4 Westland Wessex Westland HC.2 Westland Whirlwind Fighter Javelin Canberra PR.9 DeHavilland Sea Vixen 1/48 Jaguar GR1 Tornado GR4 DeHavilland Mosquito Spey Phantom I smile to myself when I think of people from Airfix reading thoughthis thread….. and what their reactions are… Tony

Good luck in your new venture. I’ve created my account, now I just need to determine which paints to order following a house move. My modelling stuff is somewhere…. Regards Tony

Mine’s just arrived. I’d check the windscreen for moulding flaws - like mine has…. I’m struggling to insert an image of mine from my iPad. Tony

That looks great! I especially like the way you have represented the burnt area. I wish I could do that so well. Very impressed. Tony

Fantastic result your Generalship, Sir! Did you have any problem with the thickness of the Blackbird and Airfix wings? Tony

Given your location and relative proximity to the Ulster Aviation Society, can we read anything into that? Friday isn’t too far away is it. Regards Tony

Nicely done. PS. I can see your pictures no problem. Tony

You’ve done that very well.

I’ll be taking the B-24 and 1/24th P-51D Tony
