Nice job Hendie. For some reason, Daleks never scared me, even as a child, possibly because of the whole stairs thing. And also possibly because my Mum worked at the Beeb in the 60s and used to tell us stories of seeing Daleks in the corridors.... Cybermen were always much more threatening. And some of the one-off aliens were quite disturbing. But Daleks, no.
Still a great build from an ordinary kit.-

Looks good mate.
The other great Phantom kits are the 72nd ESCI ones, very nice indeed. I have several in the stash, and one day, I will finish the 2 I have started. One fine day...
-
Marvellous effort, that! Top job, old chap.
All jesting and silly voices aside, this gives me hope that one day I will find the time and skill to make a start on my big Bentley. -
Oh goodie, a mini review on the new Gladiator. I'm happy that it's good, I can now buy a couple and get on with my Latvian AF builds...
Nice work, too. -
Hi Hendie, I knew that I had a pic of an Islander somewhere but did not realize it was on a tea towel.
Accurate references, that's what we need.

Page 9. You can thank me later (although good luck matching model paints to Pantone...)

I think he had the higher ranked person in the comfy seats and the erk in the nose.
Most likely. But the erk got the much better view, I imagine.

And Cat 4 people are like, "Eh? Who cares?"

Ha, I know! I'll wait for a while, then enter a Lightning in the KUTA 8 GB, with decals for Mauretania, hence fulfilling the criteria for 4 GBs - Lightning, KUTA, seldom built AFs and What-if.
YES! -
Is an ex I-16 pilot or ground crewman likely to wander by and critique your build? If not, buy the one that looks like it goes together with the least effort.

I was sorting my decal collection last night, adding the missed bits to the database, when I came across a previously forgotten Esci Roundels of the World (for want of a better title) pack. There's some interesting stuff on there. If time allows, I may be forced to use some of them on a 3rd build for this GB. Although, given that I haven't even started my Lightning build yet (which started a month ago), that may be pie in the sky wishful thinking...

Having spent a bit of time on multi-propped boats over the years (not MTBs, mind you), I can confirm that the rooster tail does indeed appear like that - I think it's due to the time it takes the disturbed water from each prop to expand far enough to reach halfway across the wake and to the surface. Single props have a very different appearance.

Those Fujimi Spit XIVs are nice little kits, with the exception of that execrable cockpit 'floor'.
I await your completion, the previous one looked very nice indeed. -
Lovely. Thanks for sharing.
-
Ah ok. my mistake... I'll blame my confusion on it being tomorrow here...
-
-
Mish, please excuse my confusion... we get 6 votes, and can vote twice for non-aviation GBs if we so desire? If I've got it wrong, please explain.
Thanks. -
At least they announced that they were 'fighter jets'. Because you know, if they hadn't said, the plebes might have mistaken them for 'army tanks'.
Bloody idiot journos... -
Looking good Hendie. Who says you need the newest and bestest uber-kit from Nippon to make good models, eh?

12 bar boogie, you can't beat it.
And top marks for the 119, as well. -
Build Lightnings! Simples
Ah, but WHICH ONE! Because there is only time for one.
-
What to do, what to do... so many choices in the stash. Airfix in 48th and 72th, Matchbox in 72th, Hasegawa, Trumpeter in 72th and 32th (although I AM waiting for Ian's update set for that one), and, and... sigh. Although at my rate of building, I should probably restart one of my half-done old Matchbox ones (from 30+ years ago) - I may actually get it finished before the next Lightning GB starts.

Eh, so the fighter pukes had to borrow an intake cover when they were on detachment... don't stress about it Mr O.

For future reference, and to save the madness associated with shaping small, fragile bits of styrene, I present this for your delectation.
Good stuff.
Still watching this build, I have a hangar-full of Twin Otters that are crying out for attention...-

A big 'Double Ugly'. Noice! Inspiration for me to use that Yellowhammer 74 Sqn Tiger sheet I have in 48th on... something...
