Another great build Russ, Just a quick question did you use Hasegawa's decals, only asking as I've had a problem with their decals on a 1/48 Aichi Val I'm doing, never had a problem before using their decals, but the kits been in the stash a few years so that may have been the reason

Edit: always use the hot water method and they just would not comply even with decal solutions

[Jadlam]

Don't know if Jadlam have got their pre-order price wrong with the Thunder Model 35306 LRDG CMP F30 Truck W/37mm MK.I Bofors Gun 1:35 Model Kit at £27.95 with delivery, but thought I'd take a punt at it

[Curtiss P-40N Warhawk, `Keystone Kathlene/Empty Saddle`, 49th FG, New Guinea, 1944]

Nice one Russ, always loved the look of the later P-40's 

[Tamiya TS and AS paints - decanted mixing?]

I'm pretty sure they will be, AS is the old style Tamiya paints TS is the newer type. Both are Synthetic Lacquers, bit like Tamiya XF/X paints and their newer LP paints 

Although I think the LP have finer metal flakes compared to the X metallics. Both types in the jars can be thinned with MLT or Tamiya's own lacquer thinner.

   

[1/20 MFH Ferrari 248F1 Chinese GP]

Superb 

[Hasegawa Mini 1275]

I have the above kit and would like to paint in Volcano Orange, anyone know if Tamiya/Gunze do a matching or close colour. 

I see the kit instructions say a mix of GX109 70% and I take it H9 30% wanted to avoid mixing my own 

Thanks

Colin

[1/35 - Supermarine Spitfire Mk.Vb by Border Model - released]

I've said this before but 95% of people who look at my kits have no idea what it is let alone what's no right with it, some might recognise one like the Spitfire but still wouldn't know if it something was amiss 😉🙂 

[Belkits Ford Escort RS1600 Roger Clark]

 You shouldn't have those fit problems, especially for what they charge for their kits

[Revell 1:225 scale HMS Victory]

Simply superb, well done  

[Bugatti 35B - Italeri 1/12]

Lovely build and finish in all respects Steve, got one in the stash and the Blue paint, no so sure about the blue now 🤔

Can't waste it so may need to buy another kit then 😀

Usual way is to asset strip not buy & sell shares quickly.

 

With a share holding of around 10% they're probably not where they need to be in terms of taking control but they're there to have a look at the finances and to have a chance of pouncing if/when the oportunity arises.

 

Watch for further share acquisitions or disposal.

Musk has done this for a while, buys a load of shares in companies and makes it public, people rush and follow, the share price jumps up,  then he dumps his holding. Speculate to accumulate 

[Hornby Group (airfix's owners) half-yearly results]

Don't think for one minute those people are there to save Hornby, their there to make a quick profit and out.

Their speculators, they've just increased the share price by buying, now wait for the quick sell and taking their profit with them and watching Hornby share price come tumbling down.

Very eye catching vignette, brilliant painting of the A/C, figures and base

Beautiful build and finish, certainly takes me back to my late teenage years, always wanted one and in yellow 😀

'Manuals' (whatever) and laminated card checklists are not the same thing. A QRH weighs a lot more than a one-card checklist, as does an iPad. Paper QRH is stowed in a side pocket on the centre pedestal. iPad usually is on a bracket outboard of the pilot seats. Normal checklist is usually slid into a document holder on the glareshield or slid down the outboard side of the glareshield. So when the door went pop, so did the checklists.

How did to checklists in the cockpit get sucked out of a door/window in the cabin, or was the cockpit door opened during this emergency

[Vallejo clear gloss 28.517]

I have a large bottle of their satin and find it seems to take ages to loose it's tacky feel, although it doesn't mark when touched it feels tacky.

Mind you I have some Winsor and Newton Galeria and that seems to do the same thing

Have Dragons Scharnhorst 1941 and for the age when it first came out it set another standard for 1/350 moulding wise, looks like they might do it again with this kit hopefully
