    Hi folk's kit arrived showing it's age but parts bagged and suprisingly fresh looking decal sheet,nice recessed panel lines and raised detailing especially in the cockpit should make for a nice build o this oldie.

    I can't believe they're still hawking that old Mig-27D ???!! When their old RA-5C Vigilante is a much better candidate! And that 302SQ F-4EJ Kai Phantom......not too bad but someone should slip a copy of "Defenders of Nippon: F-4 Phantom II" into the hands of Hasegawa; so MANY interesting schemes to choose from. Agree that the Marineflieger Tornado is welcome. Missed it the first time round. The 1/72 Raiden and the F-16s can still hold their own against newer releases. Cheap and good if you want to practice your airbrush/weathering skills and basically a mojo-restorer. They look good sitting on your shelf and do give you a sense of accomplishment. Still, Hasegawa would make a killing if only they'd make a new tool 1/72 F-5E/F series. Never understood how they can make the best 1/72 F-20 Tigershark and X-29 but never seem to show any interest in a gold mine like the F-5E/F.

    For the floor, how about a checkerboard pattern in black and white marble with large polished squares?

    G'day, after being made redundant back in 2002 from a job after 25 years I did a forklift course, as an iron in the fire of future employment. I was given a booklet with all the rules and a-question-and-answer sheet to do. Six hours worth. One of the questions was (from memory) "Can you increase the vertical reach of a forklift by using ladders etc on the platform being lifted by the forklift's tines?" or words to that effect. The question, one of about thirty, was marked with an indicator that meant I had to find the question in the book and write the answer verbatim - "You cannot increase the vertical reach of a forklift by placing ladders and such on the platform being lifted by the forklift's tines" (or such). Why couldn't I have simply answered "NO" ? I guess it was to make the point stick in my mind. Which it obviously did. 🙂 BTW, a few months later I got a job as a school cleaner, which I held until retirement 19 years later. I never used my forklift licence. 😒 Oh well . . . Regards, Jeff.

    Kind offer but as you say postage will be getting on for what I can get the kit from amazon so thanks anyway, I'm a mind to cut my loses with the brigade and save the nose for a future AZ joypack kitbash and just build the airfix clipped vc, at least that will be fun and simple, binned a sword XIV within a hour of starting it sunday so that's killed a desire to buy the xtrakit as I assume its a infuriating a kit to assemble

    I'm no expert in PLA, but is this K/RKL-700A Electronic Pod? If yes, FABscale is making them in 1/48

    Oooh, you're getting very warm 🙂

    Your headlight bulbs are very nice @HK-500, but I think you should consider repainting them with translucent yellow, for example Clear Yellow from Tamiya. The effect, especially on top of the aluminium if you polish it first, would be much better...... Well, it's true, I'm quibbling....🙄

    Whilst the mods might put up with a bit of speculation (ok, fantasy) on future versions of the Liberator we might see from Airfix, they have been known to take a dim view of threads descending into general wishlisting, I think we've got away with it so far, but let's not push it any further?

    Thanks a lot Paul. Much appreciated. John.

    The next three subjects are all Tar wagons. The first built from a Slaters kit with additional detailing on the brake gear. I had the works plates custom etched by Narrow Planet, now know as Light Railway Stores. I didn't notice at the time but they spelled Gunness wrong and had in fact put Guinness. I had posted photos on a model railway forum where the gent that had done them for me noticed the error and kindly send me another set with the correct spelling.

    I sooooooooooo want Great Wall Hobby to develop a J-15D and J-16D. Is there any after market company who is offering those giant electronic pods in 1/48?

    Blitz, a ballroom blitz! Sorry, I couldn't help myself ...
  20. Rob Pulham
    Thanks, as realistic as I can make them is my aim. I only build locos and rolling stock I don't have a layout or plan to build one so I can put all my efforts into indiviual projects.

    No worries I'm quite enjoying it, tbh!
  23. wellsprop
    Excellent comparison @keithjs build here, the first I've seen on BM!
  24. Zagor
    Agree But I find witch tail art interesting. Didn't see that one before. Could this be "what if"?
  25. wellsprop
    No, the Russian Spitfire IX UTI is a standard Spitfire Mk.IX with a second cockpit added aft of the normal cockpit. The Tr.9 front cockpit is moved forward by 13.5 inches to make space for the second cockpit. This is very noticeable in Spitfire Tr.9 TE308, which had it's rear cockpit covered over, making it look slightly like a Trumpeter model of a Spitfire.

    No wonder I'm loosing track already 🤪. Thanks for doing this though.

    if you're thinking of getting a different seat, maybe it's also worth considering getting a different spinner: it's the only part of that old Hasegawa kit that looks off to me
