  1. laying chordwise to sine For answering your own post, @RAF4EVER penguins of approbation, ten-hut! (Don't take it seriously, it's all in fun, just a thing we do.)
  2. where everyone's a winner
  3. It was the mount for same, yes. Ideally, there'd be a small horizontal aerial poking out rearwards from it. There's a few online walkarounds of museum Mk.XIVs and PR.XIXs that show it quite well.
  4. sung blue, everybody knows
  5. Odd about the fit of that intake - mine was OK for height and width, but was approx 1mm too short front to rear. Filled with a shim, so no worries, but I wonder where the difference lies.
  6. push BUTTONS, TURN knobs (At your age, you should know better...)
  7. , superchargers, tunnel ram manifolds
  8. Yeah it's tough to do, always takes me ages, what with the parcel tape getting wrapped around the legs and the horns making holes in the brown paper. And let's not even talk about the string...
  9. Tamiya TS-65 is a rattle can of Clear Pearl. Despite the expense, it might be worth considering given the special nature of the finish.
  10. Won't that be sort of overscale? Or have I, once again, got hold of the wrong end of the snake?
  11. by imminent social collapse
  12. who can't get enough (I had to look that up - who swallowed a thesaurus this morning, eh?)
  13. One way to gain extra information about a kits heritage is to have a look at the instruction sheets when they're available on Scalemates. Even though kits reissued by another party often have redrawn instructions, the basic parts design and assembly sequence doesn't change - in this case, Tamiya use thin pins fitted from outside for the wheels, whereas Revell use thick pins captured between the halves. The steering rod on Tamiya's kit uses their clip-on design at the tie rod ends, while Revell have a 'put pin in hole, use hot screwdriver to seal' set up. There's other differences too, but you get the idea. I'd be confident in saying that the 2 kits are unrelated.
  14. to winnow out Christians
