I have made a perfectly reasonable observation iirc there Have been comments by members of this forum who have expressed disapproval of the faux boxart. You are calling them killjoys. I don't agree with their opinion in this matter but surely they have the right to their opinion. At what point does one draw the line between black humour and bad taste? I was asking a legitimate question. How is that trolling?

Well you said you like black humour Mike. We all have a line that crosses over from humour to poor taste. Some poeple have less tolerance but don't deserve to be ridiculed or looked down upon for it. My tolerances are more in line with your own, but that doesn't give me the right to be dismissive of others.

How about a Lockerbie set?

Heard of his brother Sigmund.

That is the one Pat. Have that in a book and it says it is a MkII so should be okay without any mods.

It has the frame too Bill Just that I hadn't got any pics before closing up, so I guess the link was pointless, sorry Can't get a useful photo either. once the halves are closed even without a canopy on a lot of the gubbins is impossible to see

Hi Skye Can do a photocopy if you give me a day or two Send a PM with your addy please and will sort it out ASAP

Jonathan pipped me to it To be fair to Revell on all but the smaller boxes, you can generally tell from the side of the box. "Details on surface" differentiates from "Recessed panel lines" and newer kits.

Personally I would like to see Airfix concentrating on 1/72 and 1/48 There are plenty of 1/32 kits around and not all of us live in hangers

That is correct Bill The kit has a floor which the Hurri did not have. The only down side to the etch is obviously the 2D nature. Will try and take a piccy of my unfinished Hase Hurri MkI to show what it looks like in situ. Didn't get a shot before the GB ended and the project hit the back burner of doom. TBH Looking at it again after all this time, am a tad disappointed wit but that is as much to do with my poor paint job and lack of PE skills. http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=48965

Shove their LED where the sun don't shine Bill TBH even with the canopy open am not sure the differences are so glaringly obvious that any sane person would be so critical. The difference between the IIB and IIC is simply the wing type so afaik the controls are all the same. Someone with a better knowledge will doubtless prove that wrong. Any differences in switches, knobs and dials is going to be minimal and would mean messing about with the etch which is of itself not 100% accurate iirc It is good enough, please don't misunderstand. The pipes and wires could be added if you wish

I always prime white for a yellow finish Agree with John and used a Humbrol yellow spray last time I had to do a large area in yellow Tip for smaller areas/parts to be painted yellow Use a foundation paint of suitable colour before using the yellow I have some Citadel Foundation paints that are really helpful when using paints with tranparent pigments Have used Astronomican Grey over black then used white, for example Vallejo also do a range of Opaques. Not used them yet but they have similar properties of good coverage and providing a solid base.

Nicely built! Brings back memories Used to see Tridents and VC10s going in and out of Elmdon from our house. The VC10 was my favourite airliner. So gorgeous. Scratchbuilding replacement engines from bras is amazing Does the wife know?

Really sweet Oz am sure your friend will be very happy.

I think they may have been contemporaries in the Korean War Not sure if the Spad was used in SAR ops for downed aimen in that conflict though. Did wonder if that was the purpose of the damaged wing so you could play at being shot down and rescued. Removeable pilot gets picked up and taken to a MASH Maybe a Vietnam jet would have been better but that bumbs up the series of the set

Mike Have removed the quip just in case Was just a whimsical thought that would hopefully amuse but if there is a possible perception of ill intent I apologise Back on topic was just surprised at this development by Airfix and assume they must have made moulds for a damaged wing The removeable aspect suggests they have found a new use for old moulds?

Removable damaged wing? and Removable pilot comment removed in the interests of Love ond Peace

Before the lynch mob sets off to string Andy up on the lonesome tree on the prairie, please consider that he is a supporter of Aston Villa The poor chap's judgement is inherently out of kilter. Looks really good, like the scheme a lot which is well finished. Glad it ain't finished in claret and blue! Sure is an attractive aircraft

Thanks again Edgar Much appreciated.

Thank you Edgar Confirms she was a Vb Still can't find anything on the internet about her being the City of Lichfield wiull try seeing if

As usual my search radar is on the blink. Have just received a card reproducing a painting of: Spitfire BL812, of 416 Sqn RCAF, The City of Lichfield, piloted by John Gofton. The painting shows the code DND but looks like DNO Shot down over Calais on 3rd Feb 1941. Gofton was burned and treated as a POW, returning to Vancouver after the war. The only information on BL812 was that it was a Vb, but a later date and pilot was given suggesting something is wrong. Any information would be very welcomed please thank you

Can't help myself Kev Hopefully the pills and therapy will help. The restraining order just isn't enough on its own to stop it.

Good to hear you felt better Nobby. She makes me think of a butterfly trying to emerge from the cocoon.

Like to think that is how it was done on the real thing. Lines of workers rolling huge sausages of Blu-tac
