An awsome film,great footage,i do wonder however, how many of those young men would survive the next 3 or 4 years 🙁.

Thanks 😊

Love your work,it's so inspiring,may I ask what brand the red filler is that you use. Thanks

It has its ups and downs,I don't mind the tank work,in fact stripping and building up the Auxiliary tanks are my favourite task,flap rigging is fine but God I hate undercarriage rigging with a vengeance lol.

That must have been a nightmare,bad enough cleaning off cured sealant for ndt inspections sod doing the whole tank.Esf,explosive suppressant foam,the tanks are full of it,we have to remove it all for leaks and inspections,it comes in blocks that each have their particular position in the tank,you deffinatly get a work out removing and installing it.

Did you have esf in your time working on them?

Acknowledging the awful human suffering and the fact that it's a bit of a selfish thought,but With the current situation in the world (no politics please)with regards to oil/fuel supplies,will this affect production of plastics and therefore kit production,am thinking more of the new releases from the likes of Airfix.Do companies hold a stock of plastic or is everything delivered "just in time" ?

Hiya,does anyone know which of the wings on the Xtrakit Hunter is in the wrong position,does the left need moving forward,or is it the right hand one that needs moving aft. Thanks Neil

It's being gifted apparently, I find it utterly disturbing.

Both the tamiya landrover Ambulance and pink panther have a seated driver figure along with the stretcher party in the ambulance.

I like that 👌, I was lucky enough to get to see the Vengence at the Camden museum in Australia 25 years ago,The highlight of my stay 😊

The special hobby kit includes those pylons.Someone may have an unused set you could use.

With reference to your picture concerning the over wing fuel points,the oval hatch behind the engine is in fact a dry bay access point.inside the dry bay you have the various fuel and hydraulic pipes and valves associated with fuel management.It also gives you access to the actual fuel tank via a hatch with many bolts. On the k model,the drybays on 1 and 4 engines were large oblong panels,and on 2 and 3 they are like the one shown in your picture.There is also a center dry bay that is situated right in the center of the wing over the fuselage,this has a small aerial on it.The over wing fuel points are small round covers that are painted red(not sure if they were painted red in the scheme yours is painted in).About 5 inches across.One for each tank across the top of the wing,so 4 in total.

Possibly the old Matchbox Paras set could be used. Plastic Soldier Review - Matchbox NATO Paratroopers https://share.google/iQLlcsiWMuNYQ1i5s If you can find a set of course.

Thanks Geoff,interesting,I think I need to do some more research.I was watching a youtube video where one of the pilots was talking about flying them.He was saying they stripped out all non essential equipment and seating (including the toilet 😬) due to range issues.He also said the the wing was from a fighter and so incorporated hard points to allow the fitment of pylons! Is that correct ?or were they modified especially for the customer. He also said the operated all over Europe which i didn't know,I thought it was just a UK thing but it makes sense. Neil
