perdu Posted April 19, 2018 Author Share Posted April 19, 2018 (edited) Thank you Johnny, nothing much to report except the best bit Postimg.cc is working again on all my postimage sets all over When we got clobbered I asked em to sort it at their end but they don't hold the key to access at this or other forums so they suggested a fix that our admin ( TAKE A BOW MIKE) could try on our site Mike got on it and has heroically fixed the whole blooming thing So it looks like calm can settle over our little community again... I have been casting more pieces Extra Gannet and S1 and S2 wheels, Palouste bits and camera packs I have a problem with camera packs, it is almost impossible to cast around corners and remove bubbles in the resin so I'm going to remould a decent one with changed bits to stop air trapment Today I am filling holes in Frog model jet intakes, which you have all been too polite to mention, ta! Also attempting to spray Appliance White on a couple of Paloustes And popping to the post office, got to cash a postal order from the folks for the midnight tuck feast tomomrrow Ooh yarrooo you beasts leggo... No seriously There's no feast, no blimmin postal order either, that was a brutalised, gentler world back then 😲😱😟😔😖😭 Edited April 19, 2018 by perdu 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perdu Posted April 26, 2018 Author Share Posted April 26, 2018 Postimging again Some of the superglue has been reshaped and so has some of the filler bits in the jet intakes, lots more to do there but I had the camera out for a Sea Vixen in another thread, so... Missing vgs added, fold line reinstated The camera pack has afiller strip on the edge on the real thing Mine didnt, then but now The underwing fold line needs adding when the rest of the superglue has been sanded flat I have to find decent photos of the weapons pylons, there are practice bomb carriers and a Palouste to hang under the white one so I need to make new ones and I am a bit dubious about cutting down the Frog pylons which are perfect for a Martel fit on the next one, an S2 The Palouste ready to fly The moveable panel that covers the air compressor outlet has had its rounded cap added, a small carefully calculated drop of cockpit glue does the trick Further panel lines will be added after consulting the orrible orackle... 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
71chally Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Superb work Bill, coming along very nicely. I was going to mention that little raised disc on the air outlet cover, purely as devilment, but you have actually noticed it and added it - well done! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What to do... 208 were Martel equipped, however I think it might have only been in the wraparound scheme from the early 1980s, as they were Nuke strikers in their earlier period. 100% agree with Barons para!

perdu Posted May 9, 2018 Author Share Posted May 9, 2018 In other news The wing sections sit undisturbed whilst awaiting a new batch of casting rubber (couldnt order more last weekend, the supplier was on holidays but it is ordered now and en-route) I will spray the whole surface with silicone lubricating spray which is normally used to ensure PVC waste pipes slip into each other when assembling pipe runs and after it dries add another layer of rubber to make the pouring mounds Waiting for that meant I had time to remember needing to open out the intake holes on the Froglet Buccy which is going to have intake blanks (when I can work out which blanks were service gear in place of some museum ones I see which dont look worth making for a carrier deck) So slightly open here but needing yet more filling at the fuselage edge Double hole mini intakes OK? Also been making the homing doohickeys leading edge antennae for the Matchbox ones which are entirely devoid of, well? Anything...
