    You build for pleasure. You've done a fine job and it looks good. I'd call that a win!
  2. Steve Coombs
    Looks like someone crossed the MDD/GD A-12 with the Arrow from the Wing Commander games.
  3. Steve Coombs
    Looks like someone got a variant of Clément Ader's Éole to fly. Without a steam engine!

    Do you mean to say you didn't sit on the pilot's lap, like Jean Wladon near the beginning of the Battle of Britain film? Lucky man, you! And some cracking photography to remember it all by.

    I did a Y-Wing a while back and sprayed it all black to start with, which made the pipework pop nicely when I put the lighter colour over it.

    There's a Red Pelicans shot here that may be useful: https://abpic.co.uk/pictures/view/1635587 Looks like fluorescent red to me, with silver tanks (with fluorescent flash), and the photo is dated as 1965. I note that the photo may not be used or published without permission. Presumably it's fine to look at.

    The Bandai/Revell B-Wing is 1/72nd scale.
  8. Steve Coombs
    Bandai all the way!

    More than one? Wouldn't that be Overkill?

    The 4mm pen for €4.53 is a sight cheaper than €23!
  11. Steve Coombs
    Blimey! I've just looked online and there's a stockist in Cologne (I live in Germany) selling the pens for €4.53 each. Even with postage, that's got to be a much better deal, surely?
  12. Steve Coombs
    If that truly is a 0.7mm pen, I need to investigate getting one of those for masking canopies. *Brief pause for research online* There's a 4mm version too, which would be tempting for outlining camouflage boundaries. Non-splay tip, too. Looking at the technical sheet, it appears to be ammonia-free (though it's rare to find ammonia in much these days) so won't ruin any acrylics underneath. I need to find a nearby stockist, or it's a visit to the great South American river soon...

    Geweldig!
  14. Steve Coombs
    Ah, but do you feel fine and happy? (Having a quick Holy Grail moment here)
  15. Steve Coombs
    I live halfway between the two! They're both well worth visiting, not just for the planes. I took my Dad around the museum in Speyer the other year and his eyes lit up when he saw the selection of cars there. The classic motorcycle meet in Sinsheim last year was a thing of beauty too.
