  1. I use this quite regular, the only disadvantage is it stops every 10-15 mins for adverts.................however, you do get the odd film that plays all through
  2. From Harder and Steenbeeks site..........many, many helpful videos on ALL there products.
  3. https://www.thunder-and-lightnings.co.uk/hunter/survivor.php?id=338
  4. Yes your right, tis a plastic model, but at £50 plus and not quite right bit of a hard pill to swallow. Thats why I stated earlier, give it a miss and save your money, buy another plastic model
  5. Interesting read about Aeroclub Vulcan a lot of input from John Aero in it
  6. Quote from John Aero posted in 2013...................The tooling is buried in the rockery of his last house!!! Gold Member 3.1k Gender:Male Location:UK Posted September 16, 2013 I had the last few Vulcans sitting on the shelves for well over a year and there were only 200 produced. I wonder how many were actually built. It was actually done as a joke. We were talking about what to follow the very successful Lightnings with a subject the big companies wouldn't touch and we laughingly said lets do a Vulcan. When we'd stopped to think about it Brian Fawcett and I put our heads together and we decided to take a leap of faith. The result was the kit which seems to have become a bit of a legend. The original price (£99.99) was in fact achieved by both Hannants and myself both accepting a lower profit margin and it should have been about £20.00 more. Speculators note, all the original moulds still exist despite being interned in a garden rockery at my old house and they are now at my studio at home and will remain so. I have no real interest in producing any more, unless someone copies it... I really think people are nuts to pay any more than £70 for a second hand one. John
  7. Lot of money for a defective kit and a hell of a lot of time correcting(not perfectly)the faults with this kit, hang onto your money, I am sure Airfix may eventually bring one out and possibly cheaper
  8. What I do and no idea where I got the idea from, as I am drilling with pin vice and its taking a long time due to a blunt drill or threads clogging up, periodically I remove drill from hole and lick the tip with mt tongue......you dont taste much as by the time it reaches your tongue most crud has fallen out but the tip is wet and go back to its job!!! possibly put down to idleness and reluctance to fetch water Update: broke 3.5 drill and carpet monster tried to devour 3 x 5.5 drills ****************** How to deny the carpet monster ANY drills??? I have a circular magnet (from a loud speaker I think)....I do what search and Rescue do? I run a search pattern with the magnet along the carpet.....left to right, then up and down......usually come up with more drills attached to magnet than I expected, but Carpet monster is really wound up about my magnet) Most Model Railway enthusiasts have spare magnets - put them to good use............I do magnet checks often as always without my knowledge knocking loose drills off work surface ***********************
  9. 2 sets of figures for this kit, as soon as they come into stock they sell out!!!! https://modellingplanet.com/en/valkyrie-miniature/873-135-d9r-bulldozer-crew-idf-2000-era-3-figures.html https://www.super-hobby.com/products/D9R-Bulldozer-Crew-set.html
  10. Here we go Pete.............been out for years, mines been half built for about 5 years https://www.florymodels.org/meng-135-d9r-dozer 11 part video build by Phil @ Flory Models if you go to Youtube
  11. Whatever Revell and ACE puts in there kits is wot rots, with the Tamiya Chevy, its the road wheels/Tyres Chieftain, its there wheel hubs, with ACE its the tyres on the Salamander, also had to replace Revell 1/35 uni-mog Tyres
  12. Happened to me............as mentioned earlier, the LRDG Chevy, I bought 3..........and the tyres have all split apart, broken in half and fallen from vehicle....The chieftain tank has rubber grommet to hold the road wheels on, most of them perished, ACE 1/72 kits, I bought the 6X6 Salamander(12 months ago)- thats now a 3x6....3 of those fell off broken...........imagine anything rubber made by ACE will react the same.......ANY kit I buy now which has rubber tyres, I tend to replace asap
  13. Not interested in building the Hastings, but very kind of you to consider other modellers...........I know there are a fair few kits out there of the hastings and many of those modellers I am sure will appreciate your generosity
  14. does not the conversion start to become expensive? Cross kitting involves the cost of 2 kits just to make a perfect one and still sanding to get other parts right...........I am all for you doing it, because, once you have completed it - Airfix will have bought a true Vampire T11 out
  15. Volume 3 is the one your after......chapter 3 Formation signs...........I find it ideal for formation signs(and variations).........World war 2 is covered, but I use it for British army formation signs after 1953 as we still had them then in far and Middle east
