  1. Thank you guys for the (purely allegorical) video that now worked (sorry for the failed/security risk link). I apologise to the folks of Blackburn, Lancashire. It was just a day in the life... Hey, I love loud explosions in space πŸ˜„. A few years ago a certain humorous TV show showed a police chase where the characters used pedal boats in a lagoon. In the end, the bandits died when their pedal boat exploded in flames when it hit a floating tree trunk. I just remembered that now... πŸ™„
  2. U.S. TV programs (and movies) have improved by 0.01%. At least cars don't explode anymore when they have the slightest accident. https://www.youtube.com.watch?v=d5-zbLLeb2k Oh dear, it's just a small pothole in the street... ...or four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire?
  3. Nice model! Interesting, isn't there the under belly transparent window?
  4. Very well done. Invasion stripes are always interesting, as well as the "tree" launchers for the rockets.
  5. Very nice model. I like the old Airfix Phantom, it has the former nose cannon fairing (more rounded), correct for the first F-4Es.
  6. Very good! A scenery with plenty of life, I liked it a lot!
  7. Very cool model. I have the Heller F-86 with the same decals. Congrats!
  8. Amazing. I agree, the wavy-edged black paint is cool. I liked also the fuselage windows. All in all, a spectacular assembly and painting job.
  9. It would just need a new fuselage, wings, engine nacelles and props, tail surfaces, etc … Is the main cockpit greenhouse the same? Might be able to reuse that … πŸ˜‰ Exactly. I, who am not even a kit manufacturer, did it. Imagine what a professional, established manufacturer like Revell or Airfix could do.
  10. A very good group of (10) astronauts. Only the goalkeeper was missing in this space soccer team πŸ™‚ I particularly liked the SR.71 Blackbird pilots.
  11. It doesn't seem very difficult to modify existing Lancaster tooling to make an Avro 694. Airfix or Revell could do it. Even a klunkz like me managed to adapt Revell's old Lancaster (1963 tooling) to become a Lincoln (without any aftermarket parts, just pieces of plastic).
  12. Very nice. I liked the green landing gear\nose wheels.
  13. What an amazing model, congratulations. Thanks for using a mirror to show the underside of the kit. It's what I like to see!
  14. Great model, congratulations! It is much more beautiful than mine... 😁
