VERY IMPRESSIVE, well done. Regards.

Hi Ian, All very useful stuff, I'm sure that some off the guys will find it very helpful. If you have the relevant drawing, it might be useful to point out the incorrect fuselgae window position on the Tamiya kits. Regards,

But it's a lot cheaper from Relish Models: Paragon Designs 1/48 100 Group Conversion Regards,

Hi Gang, I thought that I would show you these, they're not eligible as I completed them quite a few years ago: Fujimi 1/24 Ford GT40 Mk.II, Le Mans 1966. Graham Endeacott 1/1 Ford GT40 1966 Road Car - I should enter this one as it is in pieces at the moment! Regards,

Mask with Kristal Klear, spray, poke out painted Kristal Klear and re-glaze with Kristal Klear. Regards,

Hi, I stock some of the Modellers Datafiles, I'm happy to order in those that I don't have: Modellers Datafile at Relish Models. There is talk at SAM Publications of reprinting the Hurricane and Mosquito volumes. Regards,

Hi, As regards the fuselage windows, these were painted over on a large number of Lancasters and indeed, weren't fitted at all on later Lancs, you need to check your references. If you want to feature the windows, the only way to do it really is to drill them all out and glaze them with Microscale Kristal Kleer. The Dambuster Lancasters did have the windows unpainted. Regards,

Hi, Personally I wouldn't even try! I would imagine that Xtrcrylix over enamel will probably be OK but possibly not so the other way round. Test on some scrap before trying. Regards,

There is a fine tribute to Brian here: Tribute to Brian Brown Or follow the links from the Real Aero home page/Bugle: Real Aeroplane Company Regards,

The pilot has been named as Brian Brown who flew from Breighton which is very close to where I live. I assume that the Hurricane was G-HURR which flew from Breighton and was a regular sight overhead, both will be very sadly missed. Regards,

Hi Guys and Gals, Bad news, from what I can gather, a Hurricane has crashed today at the Shoreham Air Show, killing the pilot. No other details. VERY SAD. Regards,

Haven't tried the seamless suckers but the Aires cockpit is pretty difficult, thin everything down and then thin it some more! You'll also have to thin down the bottom of the cockpit and the top of the nosewheel bay. Just keep checking as you go. Regards,

Hi Gary, I don't have any info as yet, I will ask the question though. Regards,

CA 1/48 Fairey Gannet ASW now in stock at Relish Models. Slightly less than I first mentioned: £33.49 Regards,

Excellent work, if I didn't know that it was 1/72 I would have sworn that it was 1/48. Regards,

CA Gannet in stock next week at £33.95 You should know better! Regards,

Real good job, well done! Regards,

Off the top of my head, the RN version has the extended front oleo (you get extended and compressed) and also the catapult attachment points under each wing root. You get all the required bits in the Hasegawa RAF version, except the decals of course, but I don't think that the RN parts are in the Revell version. The RN decals are pretty easy to source as you've already found, I usually have the Aeromaster ones in stock. Regards,

Nice model! Regards,

Wow! Perhaps consider contacting the IWM and get them preserved for posterity. Regards,

This one: Breighton is just down the road from me so I get regular displays from the Hurricane, Mustang and Buchon! Regards,

I went out and bought one of these immediately after seeing "Le Mans". Made a pigs ear of the paint job but I was only a kid! Regards, Graham.

The Ian Allan "At War" book has one pic from underneath, of a Mossie in flight but it's too far away to see anything worthwhile. Everything else that I have just shows the "standard" 8 rocket installation on the Banff aircraft. Regards, Graham.

Superb! Went to Coningsby a couple of years ago, well worth a visit. And of course, East Kirkby is just down the road. Regards, Graham.

The guy who is selling it is a regular ebay seller and also a regular customer of mine. He is a genuine bloke, you should ask him about this Javelin. Regards, Graham.
