  1. Cheers Alistair, I to have something bigger to do next? Simon.
  2. A Quickie build, extremely quick for me, not the best I have done by a long way but it has given me the confidence to tackle P.E. in the future. She is not a bad kit to build, just remember Eduard`s locating pins are small or non existent. Paints: Mr Hobby/Tamiya. Varnish: W&N Galeria. Filler: Nowt really. Thank you for looking. Simon.
  3. Nor have I Beard, I will have to look in the garage t see what I have in the stash. This one is not too bad, very basic really, take away the P.E. Thanks @Dr. Quack, @cobraleader, @Hamden, @psdavidson, @GREG DESTEC and @CH-53D. Well she is done now, and in record time for me. Here is a pic of her here, the rest are going to be in RFI. A big thank you for all those who followed/liked and passed comments. Simon.
  4. Nice and steady going Roger. She is starting to take shape. Simon.
  5. I am in Alistair, you said big!!! Yep. Looks fun, especially with that camouflage... As it`s an Italian plane maybe Garibaldi biscuits? Simon.
  6. Thanks Giorgio, she is nearly done, then something a bit bigger? Simon.
  7. I have got to tidy up around the "mouth" a bit but hope to have her done by the weekend. Simon.
  8. Thanks @Hamden, @psdavidson and @CH-53D. After tea I went back out to finish a few bits off for evening. P.E. grill I forgot about. And while that set I painted the gun barrels and exhausts. Added the walkway decals. And put a smile on her face. That`s it for now, hopefully stencils tomorrow afternoon. Simon.
  9. Thanks @Hamden, @GREG DESTEC, @cobraleader, @AliGauld, @psdavidson, @CH-53D and @giemme. After a morning up in the city I managed to get some decals on, the main ones that is. Sorry about the pics now, the sun was steaming in through the window, nice though. She is nearly smiling, I have to add some paintwork . Oh and the left hand decal folded on me. Tea coming up soon, I might get some stencils on this evening. Simon.
  10. Cheers lads, she is an easy build without a doubt. Thanks @ruudster and @GREG DESTEC. A Gloss coat of varnish laid down. That is it for today, I`ve got the Dr`s later and busy tomorrow morning. I may get some decals on once I get back. Simon.
  11. Two Irishmen, Patrick and Michael, were adrift in a lifeboat following a dramatic escape from a burning freighter. While rummaging through the boat's provisions, Patrick stumbled across an old lamp. Secretly hoping a genie might appear, he rubbed the lamp vigorously. To his amazement a genie came forth. This particular genie, however, would grant only one wish, not three. Without giving much thought to the matter, Patrick blurted out, "Make the entire ocean into Guinness Beer." The genie clapped his hands with a deafening crash, and immediately the entire sea turned into the finest brew ever sampled by mortals. Simultaneously the genie vanished. Only the gentle lapping of Guinness on the hull broke the stillness as the two men considered the circumstances. Michael looked disgustedly at Patrick whose wish had been granted. After a long tension-filled moment he spoke: "Nice going Patrick! Now we'll have to pee in the boat!" Simon.
  12. A group of Boeing employees are sitting on a plane getting ready for takeoff. The pilot comes on over the intercom and says "Folks, we're pleased to have you flying with us on our brand new 737, fresh from our good friends at Boeing!" Immediately, the Boeing employees all scramble to get out of their seats and off the plane as quickly as possible. It's utter pandemonium in the aisles as everyone starts to panic. Everyone, that is, except for one old man, who remains sitting in his seat, quiet and unbothered. A junior executive looks at the old man and says "Didn't you hear the announcement? If we don't get off now, this plane might fall apart mid-air!" The old man says "Sir, I've been an engineer at Boeing for over 30 years. I've been there through all of the ups and downs, the cost-cutting and outsourcing, the bad times and the good. And if I know how this company operates today, I can say with absolute certainty there's no chance this plane will even leave the ground!" Simon.
  13. Thanks @psdavidson. Well she is on her legs and all lit up now. Leave that to dry and Varnish up tomorrow. Simon.
  14. Thank you George, she does look like a tub of lard but she was quite practical to. Thanks Chris, she was a hoot to build. Simon.
  15. U/C done. And fitted. Time for tea said Zebedee (Spag Bol) Simon.
  16. You will enjoy her. Here is a link to a build on You Tube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSU7VYDQ0q4&t=1007s&pp=ygULbWFjaCBtb2RlbHM%3D Simon.
  17. Cheers sir, it was fiddly at this scale but I am pleased with it. Is it the "Profipack" version Giorgio? I did the "weekender" one in F.A.A colours a few years ago. Simon.
  18. Cheers Alistair, apart from buttoning her up she has been a quiet ride. As above Beard, very basic build once the office was out the way. Masking off, and I am quite happy apart from a couple of slip ups. First error, numb nuts forgot to mask. Second error, now rectified. She is smiling, almost, a bit of straightening out. Simon.
