      Sheet of ply and two Stanley sawhorses. For my other hobby, electronic music!

    Thinking of starting my Airfix Harrier GR1.

      The recent 1/72nd one? A nice kit indeed, but be careful with the alignment of the undercarriage and airbrake inserts, the nosecone join (remove the pitot and put it back again at the end, you WILL knock it off otherwise), and the red warning lines over the engine section.

      I'll take note! Thanks.

    Browsing eBay for olde Airfix. Wondering why some people think they can sell yellowed decal sheets.

  8. Nomore Shelfspace

    eBay seems to be dysfunctional right now.

      We only get buzzed by helicopters or deafened by the RAF!

      Sometimes the army flies Blackhawks pretty low over my house, but that's it.

      For the last week we have had a pair of WAH-64 Apaches fly over my flat. Everyday at 16:00-ish taking the same flight path. Fun :)

  11. Nomore Shelfspace

    Went for a flight in a Cessna 152 today. Whoa.

  12. Nomore Shelfspace

      Wondering if Airfix will buy some of their stuff, given their association in the past.

      no, heard it on French radio this week, a buyer HAS been found, 15 jobs to go out of the 45 at the firm's site in Normandy (Trun). Reported in Le Figaro at this link if you can read French

    Just getting on with painting Xtrakit 1/72 Vampire. First kit for ages.

  14. Nomore Shelfspace

    Maybe ONE day I'll get round to some of these kits in the "mini stash" but to busy with other things and could be til after Xmas...

  15. Nomore Shelfspace

    Jealous of you lot at Telford? Ha ha not me, not... really... sigh.

      Well the air there was incredibly stale might I say :P I almost collapsed from the heat and lack of "air"- i bagged a nimrod though but my gosh was the parking an issue! :D

    2. Nomore Shelfspace

      Nomore Shelfspace

      Well, to me it's a heck of a long way to go as I live on the south coast. I'd have spent most of the day driving.

    3. FalkeEins

      FalkeEins

      you and me both ..too far unfortunately. Still I do try harder for Southern Expo

  16. Nomore Shelfspace

    Watching a Yak-52 (possibly G-BXJB) flying extremely low level aerobatics over a field near house this afternoon! Hope he knew those were power lines...

  17. Nomore Shelfspace

    Scale Aircraft Modelling October 1997 (yes), massive article on Miles trainers, 99p, God bless eBay!

  18. Nomore Shelfspace

    A moment a go there were probably more Spitfires flying over my house than on this day during the Battle of Britain.

  19. Nomore Shelfspace

    Working on new one, Fairey Battle target tug, from the old Airfix kit... sheesh.

      Wow, respect!

      Ah, the power of music! It was Ramstein with one 'm', and it was the Italian Air Force display team, the Frecce Tricolori, that lost three aircraft, one of them crashing into the crowd watching.

    3. dfqweofekwpeweiop4

      dfqweofekwpeweiop4

      I'm thinking of a different crash then. I just hope we'll still have airshows in the future!

      A Su-27 crashed and went into the crowd at Skynliv in the Ukraine in 2002. Is that what you were thinking of?

  21. Nomore Shelfspace

    Getting cameras etc. ready for RAFA Shoreham Air Show.

      Nomore Shelfspace

      Yes, just got back. I saw it come down. A bit sickened by it all.

  22. Nomore Shelfspace

    Just finished my Airfix 1/72 Spit 22. Photos when I can get round to it...

  23. Nomore Shelfspace

    Just watched BBC documentary Cold War Hot Jets (part 2) on BBC iPlayer. Awesome footage!

  24. Nomore Shelfspace

    Still cleaning the badly sprayed Humbrol 11 silver off my Airfix Spit 22. There is a knack to spraying silver and I didn't have it...

      I have an old can of Tamiya alu spray I might try, pref. by decanting it into a jar - don't like spraying small models with an aerosol!
