    I think the Airfix driver is on the petite size compared with my limited collection of 48ers. Ebay O scale might be the only way......wait ..... why not model your owm!!!!! Wire armature with modelling clay padding, sized to fit the pit. As you can't see much of the IP then once the helmsman's in ..even less, and if it is to be a dangler then it will only be an impression so a bit of deft work with the slap and Bob's your auntie's husband Box on Strickers

    If this is anything to do with 'degrees of separation' then I am standing and whoohooing anyone who had anything to do in changing attitudes. Nice stickers, by the way. Box on Strickers

    After viewing and earwigging the instructional Super8 film on gardening and household chores, the above could have be written by dear old Spike and would fit in perfectly at about 1 min 33 seconds. Oooo Matron Strickers

    Go for the innards of telephone wire, that's if you still have telephones that plug into your house over there. What with all the the talk of the demon drink and Welsh Baptists, making me feel all warm and fuzzy! Box On Strickers

    The effortless ease (and speed) that this has evolved is a source of envy....mutter...mutter Uberlike! Box On Strickers

    Yo ho Bill, I know little about Buccie bits, but it looks to me that if the intakes could shaved/cut/butchered at the point where they touch the wing leading edge the profile of the resin part would better match the kit. Any resultant gap would then might be filled on the fuselage side of things. Only a thought Feeling your pain Strickers the empath

    So much of that went so far over my head it had a con trail! Sometimes I am glad that I am living up to my 4th form Geog Masters' yearly report 'He sets himself low targets that he consistently fails to achieve' I find it helps with the modelling Box On Strickers

    That is the best birthday challenge I ever read. need to look up 'Weekend at Bernie's' though as over here that would be a lock in at a 70's Italian steak restaurant. Happy birthing anniversary old chap, Box On Strickers

    I suppose the clue was in the Moniker, not that I'm jealous or anything, sat here waiting to send out the gritters. Texas then the Gulf, I must have shot a robin! All the best Box On Strickers

    Welsh Translations....don't get me started, I'm all for preserving a language and heritage and stuff but try and get the residents of Varteg (for those interested check google earth [other mapping systems are available]) to use the proper spelling on their road signs as there is no V in Welsh only F. I'm a little worried that I am enjoying the reports from the colony of familial discord, its a bit like watching early episodes of the A Team, logic tells you should not like it but it is strangely hypnotic.

    Just picked up on this, the Cat has a place in my life as it was the model I was building when I heard I'd passed my eleven plus in 1971. As I recall mine was somewhat more of an impression of the model rather than a representation. Top work, as always. Box On Strickers

    This is one of the many I've started and have put back in it's box to be completed when work/weather/life becomes less demanding, I had lot of flash, warps and short shots in the mouldings, which slowed progress to a stand-still. I found that the upper wing joint was acceptable if the upper wing halves are attached to the fuse before fixing the one piece lower part. Also I bought the falcon canopy and there seems to be a discrepancy in the width of the fuselage, but that could be me, and the fact that the falcon item was designed for a different model. This kit is like a coracle, it's a challenge. The man scribbling notes frowning and muttering with a flat half of shandy by the fire exit will be me, therefore, watching with envy and interest.

    I am finding that my mojo/attention span/motivation is a bit like the Radio Luxembourg reception. Must be the weather

    Received mine today, and there are LUSH, the detailing on the ramps are to my eye better than the Fujimi offerings and the top and bottom vents are very fine and a huge improvement on the stock Airfix part. Still cheap at twice the price
