Personally, I would use the raised panel line as the guide and sand it away after. I use the Tamiya scriber and I find the secret to it is to push first before pulling to scribe. By pushing it lightly, it creates a slight furrow for the scriber for when you pull to scribe properly. Also, use VERY LIGHT PRESSURE. Many light passes is better that one heavy forced gouge.

British Airways 100th anniversary retro colours
hovis replied to Rb277170's topic in Modern - 1969 and onwards
Is there not a time limit on what can be termed as "retro"? The 747 in Landor is beautiful, but seriously, Landor "retro"? Is last season's football shirt retro? -
It's the replacement for Nimrod the RAF are getting.

This won't have any bearing on the Poseidon will it?

Hawker Siddeley Nimrod MR1 - 1/72 Airfix

Without wanting to add any more spanners to your marvellous work, Sir, but are you going to tackle the badly misshapen tailplanes the kit provides us with? Apparently they're too long and too rounded at the tips. -
This is amazing!

Airfix announcement at Telford 2018, F6F-5 Hellcat 1/24 scale
hovis replied to Robert's topic in The Rumourmonger
Does this indicate that the 1/24th scale has, and will for the foreseeable future, become the "WWII Fighter only" Scale? (old Harriers aside).- 918 replies

They've done the Harrier GR1 & 3, as well as the FRS1 Sea Harrier in 1/24, so why not one of the plastic wing versions? OR Why not bring out a helicopter in 1/24? I'm thinking a nice Scout or Wasp... OR 1/48 F-35B Lightning?? Eh? Eh? OR The Puma has been crying out to be released in 1/48. They've done most of the rest, well, Merlin and Lynx anyway.... In fact, they haven't done most of the rest... We'll end up with a Spitfire, wait and see.- 918 replies

True. Although I'd have played it safe for the first go and given it all the run up she needed, but then, I'm just the careful sort 😉

Did anyone notice when it was landing that it seemed to have the weapons door open? Could it be for airflow purposes when in the hover, or just showing off her bays? Also, on take off, why not have a longer run up? The roll seems very short, and the whole deck was available....
