Enzo the Magnificent

Then why not build them all? It seems like the logical solution.

I bought this one a couple of years ago as I had intended to do a comparison build of all the 1/72 Hellcats that have been released. The comparison build never happened so that means this one can be built in this GB. This is the original boxing from 1967. Interesting wing assembly... I love the instruction sheet! The decals don't look like they will work so I will replace them with modern ones. This will be a straight heritage build, making no attempt to rectify the kit's many issues. It's not inaccurate as such. It's just a sixty year od kit. No cockpit detail to speak of. No gear bay details. Dreadful engine and cowling. But it is what it is and I'm going to enjoy it for that. Scalemates tells me that this kit was reissued in 2007. If I had bought it in 2007 in its nice, shiny, modern box I would have been bitterly disappointed.

Fuselage ready to be closed up. Main assembly complete. As I suspected, nothing can be seen through the transparencies.

I love this one, probably because it is just so bizarre. The video is totally inspired by Star Trek. The setting is Taurus II (The Galileo Seven) with the dancers wearing Starfleet uniforms. Don't ask me about the animal heads though... Alcazar are wearing costumes that seem to be inspired by The Gamesters Of Triskelion. Or maybe Rollerball. And let's consider the source material.

I like to tell people that my favourite Kylie song on "Some Kind Of Bliss". I mean, it's Kylie with the Manic Street Preachers as her backing band. That's just so cool! But I'm afraid I'm lying. My favourite Kylie song is... But we still need to embrace the coolosity...

@CarLos I have to agree. There is a Britmodeller precedent that says that cutting and sanding of vacform parts is simply "preparation". It's no different to washing the sprues to remove mould release agent.

I think that maybe Britmodellers should'nt be left unsupervised...

Yep. Youtube defiitely has me pegged as an ageing hippy. It's next choices were: St Charles - Jefferson Starship Diamond Dogs - David Bowie Brandy (You're A Fine Girl) - Looking Glass Should I be concerned about how well Youtube knows me...?

Okay, I have to admit that I'm quite impressed with Youtube's algorithm. I decided to just let it run and see how close to my taste it got. Its far better than Amazon's algorithm, which keps recommending the book that I've just bought and am currently reading... Here are Youtube's next two recommendations... Both superb choices. Bowie covering Springsteen?!?! It can't possibly get any better than that!

nodnodnod. Everyone else does.

I picked up "Sweet Gene Vincent" on Youtube to copy and paste the URL. I left it running. 'cos... well... why wouldn't you? And then Youtube decided that I needed to listen to this pure geniosity. It's Irene, the submarine!

Inspired music! Some people liked him a lot.

Hi Lewis, to the madness that is Britmodeller groupbuilds. We're very glad that you, as a Britmodeller "newbie", have found us. Just be aware that once you open up your first build thread, then you are no longer a newbie. You are one of us. Whether that's a good thing or not is a whole other question.

At that rate, The Stash should keep me going until April 2035. Of course that's only if I don't buy any more kits. Yeh... like that's gonna happen...

EggZACKerly! And somewhere I have a photo of it embedded in my foot...
