Learstang Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 At last! I knew they'd find them - I never gave up hope! Now I just need to dig up that alien UFO I know is buried in my backyard. Regards, Jason 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PLC1966 Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 No RAF Movers touched that crate, no bootmarks on top or holes in the side.... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bentwaters81tfw Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 They are a bit inaccurate. No screwheads visible, and the brace struts are in the wrong place. I'm pretty sure that's the wrong grain of wood as well for a Spitfire packing case. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe screwheads on late war packing cases were puttied over but don't recall when the order went into effect. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brown Posted October 3, 2014 Author Share Posted October 3, 2014 I was going to open the crate, but then it would loose its value! Rick the collector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brown Posted October 3, 2014 Author Share Posted October 3, 2014 Sigh. What you can do with an idle mind, toothpaste box and Costa coffee stirrers. Imagine what I could do with chewing gum as well! Rick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selwyn Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Sigh. What you can do with an idle mind, toothpaste box and Costa coffee stirrers. Imagine what I could do with chewing gum as well! Rick. Coffee stirrers eh! Sure it wasn't too much coffee as well?

Learstang Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Rick, you might remember the American TV show of the '90's called "MacGyver" (and it was nae aboot a Scotsman!). Let's see, with an empty toothpaste box, coffee stirrers, and some chewing gum I believe he could have made a working nuclear bomb.

venomvixen Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Have you been looking behind my couch? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brown Posted October 7, 2014 Author Share Posted October 7, 2014 Well, this was mainly an "In the box" build, but I did add seat belts from Tamiya tape. I never bother too much with the cockpit in this scale, as you can't really see much in there anyway. Panel lines are a little deep, but that's how modern kits are these days. I guess I could have filled them a little. Granted, the weathering is a bit too subtle, maybe a wash of earth needed? I had to make the decals as Xtradecals haven't been done for this type yet (?). I had to take a guess at the stencils, anyone know a good source for MOD stencils? Thanks for looking, Rick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
