    Superb job as usual Jörgen. The low angle walk around shows what a brutal and purposeful looking car it is. The in car video was interesting, you can clearly see that the driving style has to be adapted to suit the power delivery due to the CVT like throttle response! Malc.

    Looks great, wotchoo gonna do for decals? I just had a look through my spares box and only have 3 bladers! I am sure someone here could donate a Tiggie prop to you?! Malc.

    Oh - I just realised this is the maritime forum. Also +1 for Airfix to re release the SRN-1. Malc.

    Oh boy, am I so looking forward to this! Thanks Jörgen, the kit parts look great. (Edit - Although I have now read through your comments!) Helpful comment (not) No1 in a series.............. Because the engine and trans are so unique, I would be tempted to copy and display them alongside the completed car. M.

    Took out a 20 year endowment mortgage in 1991. Oh, wait.......... you mean modelling? Dropping wet painted parts seems to be a recurring theme. M.

    Hi Al, These panels you are creating look fantastic! There was a guy on a German model forum a few years ago who was making an Me163 panel using pretty much the same techniques. What do you mean when you say 'I used a .4mm novel' ? Does this refer to the font size? Malc.

    Its not the Howmet, but I'm in! Malc.

    Great to see another of yours being built. If you make the plan on your computer screen the correct size, then trace over it on tracing or thin white paper - I have done this a few times rather than print stuff out! Then offer up the cut out plastic part back to the screen to correct any errors that may have crept in. Malc.

    Hi Mike, This is a bit of an off the wall suggestion, but cheap bath side panels are high impact styrene sheet, the one I have is 1.5mm thick and is great for my modelling. The cheap ones can be found in UK DIY stores (E.G. Homebase/B&Q etc) and are around £25/£30 for a 1.7m x 0.5m panel. You may get lucky and get a damaged one at a rock bottom price! You can find flat panels but most have a slight curve or swage for stiffness, but you may be able to work round this? Malc.

    IMHO the Pegram book is one of the best Schneider books around. New research. New 3 view drawings of all aircraft correcting previous mistakes All Schneider aircraft included, even ones not raced. Thoroughly recommended. Malc.

    Excellent, looks really good, hope you are pleased with the result. I think this is the best looking version of the Mew Gull. Malc.

    The last post (which I seem to have missed until now!) sounds totaly plausible to me. Any updates? Malc.

    Fantastic! M.

    Looks great! Matra V12 racing engines of the same period mostly had yellow HT leads. M.

    Some nice delicate work there removing those vents. Looking forward to the next post! M.

    Perfect, thanks! M.

    That looks 100% better. Any chance you could post a close up pic of the 200 an 120 mesh together? Could you post a link to the mesh on Amazon? Cheers, Malc.

    Thats looking really good. Its one of those planes that looks like its going really fast even when its parked! Malc.

    That looks fantastic, what is it about small vans with signwriting that is so appealing? Do you know if the original was sign painted or used coloured vinyl stickers? Malc.
