    Same, though I'm also Aspergers and I tend to remember useless facts about aeroplanes or such then forget my own name. Three, two spend most of their time with the phone welded to their ears talking to their idiot mates about how men are to blame for everything The other is a 15yo teenage boy who spends his time playing video games and dodging soap.

    Wondering if the interior green might be a bit on the pale side? 36 at the FAA museum

    Hawker Yellow was used in the gear wells and all internal surfaces except the cockpit. Gear legs and doors are the underside colour, usually Sky. The Canadians did their gear bays in the underside colour, everybody else seemed to be Hawker yellow Humbrol 74 is a perfect match for Hawker yellow. Simon Owen from Airfix and I came up with it after much discussion.

    There's a very expensive 1/32 resin kit . The manufacturers name escapes me at the moment. Lot of resin and etch,looks lovely in the box. Fit not so much I assembled the fuselage of mine then gave up after trying to get the tail feathers to fit.

    I confused as to why you'd want to break a poor duck 😕

    Upper port wing surface on ours. Looks exactly like what Airfix did.

    My mistake, I thought they had the troop seat fitted after the sonar came out.

    The ASW seating that John's refering to is the bench seat over the auto hover stab boxes at the front left hand side of the cabin.

    No but the local moth community is living in terror.

    This followed me home from the animal shelter week before last. Miss Ella Artemis Long, 12 weeks old and full of mischief ` Any stories of me completely smitten with the little beast is a complete lie.

    Gallery's H-34/S58 has the correct seats, it has pretty much all the options. I used these in my glacier like build.

    Asides from my inevitable Sea Venom comments I would really like to see a Wessex 1/3/31 done to the same standard as the Sea Kings. The Italeri ones could have been so much better.

    I feel very old

    Yep. One of the Wessex I remember coming back from overhaul all shiney and new is now in the museum along with a Scooter and a Macchi that I played with. What really annoys me is the Seahawk that was supposed to be the dogs danglies just before I left now has the temerity to be in the museum as well! On the subject of computers games: Whilst I may be 61 and somewhat creaky I still manage to get a couple of hours of Fallout 4 or Fallout 76 in each day. Knight Errant in the Appalachian Brotherhood of Steel thank you very much

    Big hearse innit.

    Before anybody gets too excited to do any of the earlier versions you need a new fuselage for the E/F/G/H/K and another for the B/C/L & variants

    Secret Scooter handshakes then.

    Maybe but what its showing is something the aeroplane don't do Unless theres a green man in the office and the J-52 is burnin n turnin.

    Offset control surface, nope not unless the flight control disconnect handle has been pulled. Control surfaces will migrate back to the neutral position, the power packs like to centre themselves. As per most A-4 kits the horizontal stab isn't in the full nose up position, poor maintainer has to go put power on and motor it down so he can check the elevator power pack disconnect. Canopy is sitting so high its very likely shagged the shear pins, nobody every puts the strap on the canopy hook. An M without a hump? What madness is this? Wonder why the knuckle head pickled off his centre line tank, this is why pilots aren't allowed to touch stuff.

    Who let 817 in here!!! Nice build so far, I got used as ballast a couple of time in 907 at ASU back when they were still sub botherers. Looking forward to stealing idea for my build.

    I've a few from a 31B if you get stuck.

    I wonder if, in some obscure Japanese army manual there's a reference for "Paint, brown weird- for the use of" 😎
  24. NAVY870
    Superb
  25. NAVY870
    A 48 scale Firebox 5 would be the dogs danglies. The SH one is irritating for all the stupid mistakes.
