  13. No one told me you had to be an actual coach builder to do Airfix,s Old Bill bus!

    1. Darby

      Darby

      Are you going to do old fashioned coachwork painting on it?

    2. stevej60

      stevej60

      Only green i,m afraid

    3. Darby

      Darby

      I'm sure United buses used to have some in green livery many years ago

  14. Northern show tomorrow and the wanted list is ready.OK dont laugh but Trumpeter's Attacker is number one on the list!

    1. dfqweofekwpeweiop4

      dfqweofekwpeweiop4

      I spotted one on the big second hand store that was setting up, along with mega cheap wyverns

  15. OK who at Airfix came up with that idiotic u/c assembly on the new Spitfire?

      jenko

      Not ideal for the younger modeller.

      Hope they change it on the next Spit.

    3. PlaStix

      PlaStix

      They are a dreadful design that appeared on their Vb first but they must have seen the negative feedback but didn't change it for the Mk.Is. Perhaps they were already to far into production. Hope they change them for future releases.

    4. FalkeEins

      FalkeEins

      ..makes you wonder what the builder of the first test shots fed back as he sat there holding the parts together for ten minutes waiting for the superglue to take hold..

  16. OK,I think all things considered the Airfix

  17. Only been gone five days and we've left Europe twice!!!!

    1. Darby

      Darby

      You haven't missed much. Local furore in the SW over plans to move a school to Ottery but that's about it really. A few minor Euro stories but not headline making though.

  18. Only in our hobby could the statement"your swastikas have arrived" not be a cause for concern!

    1. Loft-full

      Loft-full

      Unless perhaps you were helping this lot with their flag day?

      Can,t believe it mate the hudson went in the bin a couple of years ago it was that bad!might even consider the Boston next.

    3. Darby

      Darby

      I threw the Boston. Bad nose glazing fit and the fuselage halves were both sunken inwards on top. Maybe just a one off. Oh and the little bits that go on the cowlings were individual units.

    4. stevej60

      stevej60

      Hmmm I noticed that in a review not a good idea.

      I'm getting that way as well. 5b tings on the go and sometimes just can't be bothered. Is that another Durham thing?

      Fine Wolwe, only lost a small amount on mine new car Monday!

      dfqweofekwpeweiop4

      Has the new car got parking sensors?

    4. MikeW

      MikeW

      I find an increasing number of bollards being carelessly left strewn around the edges of roadways these days - it's amazing more people don't hit them. A distinct hazard.

  24. The old work table is dead,long live the new one!

    1. TheBaron

      TheBaron

      All hail the table. Is it a nice one?

    2. PlaStix

      Hello,Steve -.What happened with the glue?

    3. stevej60

      Spilled all over Paul I was struggling with the mojo so it has'nt helped!

      Don't let yourself down, Steve. You've done excellent builds (your series of P-47s come to mind) so you'll certainly do great builds again. I almost had a big accident myself recently, while shaking a bottle of Alclad Grey Primer... it spilled all over the place but fortunately didn't hit any of my on-going builds.
