Bill with 'tension ta detail think of the greeblies and whatsits you can get stuck into on these big monsters. 48 better for the eyes 🤪 Trouble is, its like drinking, once you start its the top of a very slippery slope. Anyhoo can't think of a better recipient. Box on Strickers

Just a heads up, if you didn't already know, the wing to fuselage struts need about an extra 5mm added to give the wings the correct angle of dangle. Also Part (from Poland) do a very nice pe set for this one Box on Strickers

Really enjoying your attention to detail, the riveting will make a great difference to the final look of the model. Strickers

I thought the level of detail in the Arma kits was up there, but your work so far, takes it to a whole new level. I will be following with great interest. Strickers

Always a pleasure to see hoghedge posting, I can only add my hope that things turn corners for you. Had to look up RSV as I wasn't sure if this was a modelling acronym that I'd not come across. For any sneezy, cold, fluey type symptom, my father swore by a used sock tied around the neck and worn overnight, (had to be your sock tho). Sounds rank but it seems to work. Anyhoo you only have to hit a few bricks out to make a wall fall down Box on Strickers

Sad that this build/instruction manual has ended, but looking forward to the Jags and possibly the diorama of the bang seat on a hill i (has to be included in the category of 'things I've flown') As to the builds: '.............................................................'* *speechless Here's to more dits and thread drfts and the advent of commercial quantun molecular reduction technology Box on Strickers

Fell asleep at the wheel of my dad's Allegro coming back from a Yes concert at Bingley Hall at 2 in the morning on the M50 in 1977, hit a kerb bent the front disk and blew a hole in the sidewall of the tyre. Never changed a wheel so fast in my life, Dad was not amused as he had to take my Moggie Thou van into work and had the p**s taken all day. Simpler times Box on Strickers

I think I would not be able to reconcile a paying job with a hobby, when they were one and the same. A #10 blade can penerate a fair distance into a stud wall. Headwear duly doffed. Torp and trolly eagerly awaited Box on Strickers

does this mean bogies bogies bogies? 😂

After reading intro etc, and having an Airfix Ligtning in Stash #1, I thought that a metal nose ring and shock cone would be a good addition to the bits n pieces, so I pinged a request off to Mini World. I didn't realise that they are based in Kviv, and are probably freezing their B******ks off due to the situation over there. I have been humbled by the fact that they are able to find a small bit of humour as they included a Mr Packy flier in with the order, this describes standard working practices for Ukrianian farmers and the best way to see off unwelcome ships in the Black Sea. For those that haven't used this company before I would strongly recommend reaching out to them. They are producing niche consumer items under challenging circumstances and on first inspection the parts look well made, so as the TESCO Supermarket advert says...Every little helps I note that there was fighting over the recent models, I hope that you have recovered and are not too badly roughed up Anyhoo Box on Strickers

No sticky-out-at-the-front-thingies yet, that's got to be at least a page worth, plus the foldie-over-glass-lookie-lockie contraptions need to be added. Seroiious procrastination required methinks. Anyroad, and however, these two do stand up to micro macro scrutiny, its scary that they can fit in an open hand.....so real, so real. Box on Strickers

Bought a Cricut for the SWMBO's, birthday 6 months ago, she's not used it yet, but I knew she would/might find it useful so I might have to set it up for her. The IPMS mag has just dropped through the door, nice german models, giving me inspiration to start some He's and Ju's This one's bobbing along nicely too Box On Strickers

Another pleasant catch-up over crimbo, lightning looking crisp and shiney like a Chaza pound coin. May the road rise to meet you in 23 Box On Strickers

I get Bald moments, but I've used it to my benefit Standard response to Postie within earshot of SWMBO 'I can't remember ordering this/these' followed by an exagerated Gallic shrug Once the thought is there it can't be un-thought Anyroadup praps you could offer one of the 5? little gems to various to clubs stands at next years Tellers and start a sort of a BM treasure hunt? I am confident you would be sans hands in no time. I know your skills involved in getting these to where they are have been improved and expanded, but looking back at the Chippie and the 'low tech'(but gobsmacking) techniques used on that little beauty, I am encouraged that non-cads like myself can still aspire to attaining the bar (see what I did there?) set by your good self.

Because the missing sprue is still a factor I intend making undercarriage doors etc. for this airframe, copying the Matchbox ones probably. If its an Ardtafix Unta then I have one spare for the price of an pint 👍 Anything to spread the mojo as far as it will go fella Box on Strickers
