Hello Gents, Still, I must finish AT LEAST a Corsair this year.... You both knows the D... song by now.... Well, I'm on my way for it.... Sanding, engraving and sanding again.... Then the markings, since as usual, I choosed a scheme that is not presented..... I like to improve these old kits.... Sincerely. CC

Hello Gents ! If one of you wonder why I change the Hasegawa's engine ??? Here's the reason... A bit of a difference... Nonetheless, the ignition pazrts are quite good... FrankenPratt it is.... See, in Iceland, this is called strong beer.... 7 volts ?? Strong ?? Let me laugh out.... Have a great modelling day !! Sincerely. Alf

Nokya is going better... See... A walk in the woods with wifey and Nokya.... How I appreciate the place I'm living in.... And yes Viking beer... But now, I know why the viking didn't invade Belgium.... They call it Strong beer... 7 volts ?? Strong ?? Come on..... Well, Faded OD is sprayed on.... See you soon... Sincerely. CC

Aouch !! Cats business, Kalina is used to do these kind of things.... Today Kalina and Achilles have had an argument.... What a mess.... Whatever, Achilles didn(t want to stay home at night.... We'll see.... Sincerely. Alf

Thanks Chris, Seemingly, Moocher or not, Achilles is settling more and more in CC's castle.... And that pic say it all, is he or her preparing a dirt trick ?? More modelling to come soon as I'm working on the 2 next RFI's See you soon. Alf

Hello Gents... More of that crazy CC ??? The plan was to improve the old Monogram kit while building the Eduard and Hobby Boss ones..... I've got this old resin kit meant to be used with a Tamiya kit..... Soooo.... Putting the resin kit in the Tamiya and using the Tamiya internals in the Monogram one ?? Nope !! Improving the Tamiya parts in using the resin and Eduard parts is easier..... Then, improving the Monogram with the resin kit.... Look easier.... So, on in the attic and taking this.... Then.... Start cutting the Tamiya floor..... On the right of the pic, it is the Monogram internal.... A bulkhead and a pilot.... That's it.... Well, well..... Look interesting isn't it ??? Sincerely.... Alf

Hello Gents, I started to search for decals for Tom Blackburn's F4F...... And forgot that I already got it..... Old decals from the 90's I will protect it with a film before using it..... See you soon... Sincerely. Alf

Thanks Johnny, Nokya is going better... To make a long story short, she saw 5 vets, she received an irrelevant treatment and the real illness almost killed her.... And now it is a legal fight with the vet clinic.... Thanks Chris !! Nerve is healing slowly, electric schock it is but I know that it is fot the right caused.... Mail call today... And the Robert Scott's cabreceived some Neutral Grey.... Sincerely. Alf

Hello Gents... Ledt's say that, this Viking beer was tasty... A bit of a lemonade for me but at least tasty.... First coat of primer is done... It smells of Neutral Grey now... Enjoy the summer my friends.... Sincerely... CC

Hello Gents, Huh raspberry picking was the order for yesterday... Not too bad, a bit more than 2 lbs.... That will amuse both @Martian and @Pete in Lincs Then the internals are on their way.... See you soon Gents... Sincerely. Alf

You're right my friend... But... But, the firsts G-36 were also equiped with Darne machine guns... When the french order has been stopped and reversed to the Fleet Air Arm, All the french equipment hgas been reverted to U.S standards I read it in Grumman story... @IPMS19 if you have the Docavia "Les avions Grumman" Sincerely. Alf

Oh sure enough Sir !! The french bath has been used by RN, but only the presentation aircraft has been painted that way.... See the one used by the brits with Dupont colours.... Far more funny ii is ?? Sincerely. Alf

See, I can look like someone serious... A tomato juice as an aperitive ?? Bloody Mary it is.... Sincerely. Alf

Going on nicely Maestro !! Don't go to open the flaps, it is a nightmare.... Even when one is using the Eduard parts.... I still have to finish mine..... I don't remenber if a finished 2 or 3 of them... Sincerely. Alf

You're right Sir !! Expensive it is, Damien told me a biot about prices.... Hey look at that, useful gift !! Reusable paint masks.... Have a great modelling sunday Gents !! Sincerely. CC

Hello Gents, Being a modeller is a state of mind... We took an aperitive and wifey wanted these little cheese and when is saw the dispenser...... I think to myself that it will be great for oil paint blending... On the super bug front, I changed my mind about the payload... After looking at numerous pics, I elected for a more realistic armament.... See you soon Alf

Hello Gents, Adding the actuators... Always look better that way... Touch up on paint are done, decalling has started.... Drilling the exhaust stacks now... See you soon Gents !! Sincerely. Alf

Thanks Chris !! Super glad for Keira, cats are amazing !! The way they compensate is astonishing... When my cats have been killed years ago, the cat of my neighbour has been badly maimed by the same guy.. The cat has to be amputated from one leg, but he resumed his life almost normally, running, jumping on the walls and even catching rats.... Thanks for sharing Sir Scotty and Miss Vera are nice !! I see that your 2 bandits have some fun time with the kit's boxes.. Here, it is Kalina's job....To chew up the boxes, and the books that goes with it.... Excellent Firebrand by the way !! Achilles is still a maverick... He didn't want to stay home for the night, so @marvinneko is right, it is maybe a moocher.... But as my abilities to catch rats are really poor, he now start to bring dead rats just on the door mat.... I'm still working on the Wildcats internals.... I choosed the paint scheme for 2 cats.... Now, searching for a FM-1.... See, I told you so... Sincerely. Alf

Excellent Avenger DD !! I really likeYour interior painting !! Sincerely. CC

And as fast as that, the Spitfire is almost done.... Impressive !! Congrats Maestro !! Sincerely. Alf

Thanks GB and Colin !! As far as I know , all the Martlet involved were FM-1 (Martlet V) Thanks for the tip about U.S paint... Sincerely. Alf

Some n,ews from Achilles.... He come and go, beg for food, sometimes beg for petting.... He didn't fear the great Dane, he even show an attitude toward the dog.... A real cat.... But he didn't stay in the house at night.... Yet.... He's a damn good hunter... A bird yesterday... I explain that there are plenty of rodent all around but he didn't seem to care.... Sincerely. Alf

Oh yes, I know what you mean, been there, done that.... Twice... At the second try the decals were dissolved... I think, it will come soon... But the Sea Hurricane is coming soon too.... And then, The Tarpon.... Thank you all Chaps !! Sincerely. Alf

Thank you Maestro ! Given the consumption of PW 2800, nothing's lost.... The resin engine will quickly find a place to go... Alf

Hello Guys... And now CC... What about finishing some kits ??? Flory is now started.... And I tried this new varnish and it seem to work ace.... See you soon. Sincerely. CC
