  1. - Back on the modelling scene after a week spent together with our 3 cats on the french side of the Spanish border, no Patrouille de France Alpha Jets, just two Rafales overflying low the beach line, could be in the hope to see in blink some beauties sunburning their charms ?.........Noooo ! of course

    It’s worked fine JM, though I’m hoping to get a coat of primer on later today to better judge what else needs further attention including the fix.

     

    - A possibility coud be inserting some C.A glue drops through the channel of the dorsal spine as it's clear part is not installed yet or drilling tiny holes on both side fore and aft of the putty and a sringe, the holes being easy to fix.... Or  simply a length of plastic rod inserted  through this channel will prevent it to move

    I knew this area was going to be a problem from the moment that I fitted the spine because the plastic was, literally, wafer thin.

    And of course it’s now an ugly hole when cleaning up with a sanding stick. Need to decide on the best way to fix this, probably filling the whole inside with ApoxieSculpt then sanding flat afterwards.

     

     

     

     


     

    -It stinks - Your idea is the best no doubt it will work

    - To prevent too much air to be sucked an exhaust is needed to expell the surplus hence the permanently open rectangular slots- In the contrary when much air is needed notably at low speed when more air is needed by the engine during somme flight configuration, when the airflow is not optimum for the engine special spring loaded intakes are required, the best exemple are  the numerous auxillary intakes on the Harrier

  5. - Blood test....!!! AAAAAARGH 😬  - That remind me I have to pay visit to the vampire club within two weeks, then visit to the Doc, is not the worst, a former military doc, it wil be the opportunity to share a  glass of its excellent whisky -(a CAOL ILA)- but I have two squadron  warrant officers at home which are not so amendable.........

    - I hope you enjoy your flamed bananas......😇

  7. - No later as yesterday evenning I read that a Fench WWI ace, Albert DULLIN, had installed such  camera of British origin behind his seat on his Nieuport fighter. The photo published in th magazine is the same general view that the one you sent on your post.

    -According to the photo of the time you published, it seem evident that this device was to be hand opérated, so I wonder how this guy managed to reach it in flight strapped on his seat, his fighter being a single seater..

  8. I didn't knew crickett was so dangerous.-white rhum glass with a few brown cane syrup and a drucked green lemon slice inside can cure everythings  but just in case, let me wish you this mishap didn't prevent you modelling- The worse is that will not scratch your left ear for some time  - And its is not an excuse to resume the fags...😇 😂

    Bon courage mon ami it will not be long to recover a working pinky

    Sadly though it’s increasingly hard to find! My diminishing stock is very carefully used….and in the inevitable failures, re-used! 

    - You still can find some around the bottle neck of red wine , either Bordeaux or Burgondy , or eventuallly white Elsass wine

  10. -I'm afraid you'll be obliged to use the vacformed part as the fuselage cannot be widened. A surgery on the AM part will ruin it. In front of this problem I will try to use the ugly vacform as a template for a beer can skinl shape and drill the holes for the dials - AIRSCALE give a range of dials in different scales which could do the job
