What WW1 airplane kits/bits followed you home today?
Nocoolname replied to Ted's topic in Aircraft WWI
Nothing today but a few weeks back I took delivery of a 1/48 F2B with "Brisfish" decals. -
Perfectly viable and in far smaller numbers than might be assumed. The wing based weapons and pylons on my 1/48 Tornado F.2 Prototype are attached using 1mm x 1mm neodymium magnets - 1 in the wing, 1 in the pylon. Though for the future I will look to increase the number of magnet pairs to 2 for extra strength. Trying to recall where I got mine from but they were a box of 100 for around £10 or thereabouts.

Tornado F.2 F.3 Early Decal sheet. Who wants one?
Nocoolname replied to At Sea's topic in Aircraft Cold War
Any news on this? Anyone know who actually owns the Xtradecal brand? They're printing some amazing sets in 1/72 but I'm baffled why they're not offering upscaled versions also. Not just the Tornado stuff but the sets they are producing for the Airfix Phantom would go great on the Hasegawa kits. -
How about another 1/48 F-14? After all, there’s only the Revell, Italeri, Fujimi, Hasegawa, Academy, Hobbyboss and Tamiya kits available with just one other in the offing from AMK. Surely there’s scope for GWH to join the fray and add another couple of pipes and rivets? 😛

What makes me happy: The sun, family and friends, days without pain 😊

LOL! Ain't that just the case!
-
Gutted that they are starting with the 1/72 kit rather than the 1/48
-
Thanks. I don't think it perforated as much as disintegrated. Apparently it was a bit of a mess in there and my scar looks like I've been in a shark attack.

Wowzer! Things must have changed since the days when I had my appendix out. That involved 3 hours of emergency surgery, 1 hour of recovery 2 hours of swearing, 3 days of Pethediene and ‘then’ I was able to use my hands! 😜

Think: It's 1/144 Hope: It's 1/72 Would be ecstatic if: It's 1/48

The Last Jedi Star Wars new model kits from Bandai
Nocoolname replied to Mike's topic in Science Fiction Discussion
Shame they couldn't drop the scale down a digit. A 55-59 cm Death Star would be awesome. -
Ah, if only proper decals had been available when I did my prototype. I had to fight long and hard with my own custom versions just to get to this:

Oh dear. Oh dear oh dear. I'm really going to have to buy this aren't I. Perhaps I could live in it and use my 1/48 U-Boat as an extension.

I’ll be following this. I’m looking to date mine back to the operational F.2 - 229OCU - to compliment my F.2 prototype build. It has the same tail scheme as that above but the ‘arrow’ beneath the cockpit is a yellow/orange horizontal split.

New Tamiya 1/48 Grumman F-14 (A, Late A, D) Tomcat
Nocoolname replied to Robert's topic in The Rumourmonger
Looks like I’ll be relegating my Hobbyboss kits to the B List. -
Hi folks! Does anyone know if anyone produces decals for the anechoic tiles on modern submarines? Something similar to the decals produced to simulate the HR tiles on the Space Shuttle? cheers

Stunning! And an inspirational link for when I want to build mine! -
Tornado F.2 F.3 Early Decal sheet. Who wants one?
Nocoolname replied to At Sea's topic in Aircraft Cold War
Definitely! Been crying out for these for ages. I’ll take 3 sets at least! -
I’ll second and third that! I’ve had great service from Warren including a number of bespoke kits. All top quality and easy to use. Highly recommended!

So I’ll need another shed then?
