  1. A massive attack of gout, courtesy of my stuffed kidneys (don't ask) and a week at work in 40C + heat and attendant humidity. Thankfully responding to treatment, but it's going to be a sucky weekend, and a miserable beginning to next week at work. At least I don't have anyone to worry about, I can just sit and do nothing for the duration, and swear lustily when I have need to get up and walk.

  2. Good luck, it's not the best kit ever released... I'm OK with the one that I finally finished, but next time I'll use the Fujimi Mk. XIV as a base - at least they fit together. 

     

    The decals on the Airfix kit are pretty good though, sharp and in register as well as being pretty tough, so that's a bit of a bonus. As has been said, they don't want to settle into Airfix's panel trenches, I ended up cutting all of mine along the trench, and redoing the setting solution. Looks OK from 3 feet, which is my standard measure of excellence.

  3. Five (count 'em!) Red Roo Catalina engine wotsits to replace the dodgy undersized ones on Academy's 72th Catalina, and also their (Red Roo's, not Academy's) 48th Bristol Sycamore kit, to be done in the flying billboard version for Thorn Atlas TVs. It's... quite petite for a 48th scale kit. 

     

    Also arriving this week was a pair of Air Graphic's 1/72nd Vinten VICON recon pods, Canadian Starfighters for the arming of. Despite the recent negativity about them on this forum, they arrived from Air Graphic in less than 2 weeks, UK to Australia. And they look pretty good, too - certainly much better than I could scratch. 

     

    And some bits for my Impreza (not the Rex), but you guys aren't interested in them. 

     

    Chopped liver, obviously.

    Being that I only use cellular for all my online activity. I cant really right click anything. 

     

    Long press instead of right click works for Android, if you're a fruit user I have no idea what to do (but I would suspect the same thing).

  5. Two stubborn bidders, or one idiot and an unscrupulous seller with a fake second account... Don't scoff, I've seen it happen often enough that it's got to be a fact - quite often, the same seller will relist the item a week after the auction ends.
