  1. Very interesting, so I too will tag along. Stuart
  2. Beyond bordering, fantastically bonkers. Stuart
  3. Thanks for that, just add a handle, thought that there would've been something like locking clips too? Thanks for the clarity. Stuart
  4. Been busy, busy, busy on 1:1 stuff. Decided to tackle the Isotta Fraschini engines. These were resin parts and were fitted with plastic carburettors and exhaust ports. Unfortunately, one twin port went walkabout so a scratch option was made. Some cleaning up is still required. Also built up the radiator and a tank. Stuart
  5. Hi guys. I've been rattling my head with a problem with a part that needed fitting on the top turret and I didn't know what it was. The instructions called for a part G18 and should look like a small round part but nothing like that existed at G18, just a 20mm long rod?! After trawling the net, I came across an image of the item and I believe that it's the gunners(?) vision port. So a scratch one. The turret is fully fitted out now except for the commanders hatch and MG. The kit called for folding and fitting 7 PE vision ports for the commanders cupola but lost 2, so scrapped the rest and scratch 7 others out of plastic. Question: I would like the commanders hatch open but I haven't found an image of the inner face of the hatch, any takers? Stuart
  6. Thanks for saying so Cliff. Loving the detail but not enjoying the cleaning of parts that I have to hold in tweezers! It does but it's hard work getting there though. Other GB builds have grabbed my attention at the moment, should have an update tomorrow Stuart
  7. I am. 3 hours in the cave this morning, and Dune Pt 2 this afternoon & I'll most probably have another bash in the cave when the Mrs goes to bed. Hard work this retirement melarky. Stuart
  8. Both. PE including railings can do a lot for 1/700 ships. Stuart
  9. Thought I'd take a look at your '84' fetish. Like your work so far, hope those AFV's are not getting in your way? Stuart
  10. Thought I'd do a trawl and see what others are up to. You're moving along nicely with this Martin, glad that you're not finding to much to correct and making the optimum decision, we both know that you don't like working to deadlines . Stuart
  11. Another interesting subject. She is so low in the water... Stuart
  12. As Jon says, nice and tidy. Can ask, what is base kit and the PE manufacturer? Stuart
  13. Nice work on Cornwall. Quite surprised that Trumpeter PE but not railings that help no end in my book. Well done. Stuart
  14. My second place marker is this Unlimited racer "Roto Finish" using the VERY limited run High Planes kit in 1/72. The box, no colour here. The plastic, some white metal and a vacform canopy. A quick inspection reveals some very rough plastic and I feel that I may be raiding a donor mustang for better options. Instructions . Stuart
  15. My first place marker is this -B version by AZ Model in 1/72. The box with the obvious direction of the subject being foreign and in this case, Swiss or Swedish or Chinese. I'm liking the pretty Swiss option. The plastic Instructions and decals. Stuart
  16. Another classic that I wished I owned. Stuart
  17. A bit late but I also use Formula 560 Canopy Glue for filling in small windows, port holes, landing lights, etc. Get a bottle as a reserve option. Stuart
  18. Looking rather smart in it's light & dark primer. Stuart
  19. @Terry1954 Terry, Terry, Terry, where have you been, have missed you dulcet tones ? I'm very surprised to the quality of this kit. My only gripe is the missing bolts to the shell ejector port, they're on the MG mantel. 1/35, been there, done that but as you know, display/storage is an issue, so you're stuck with 1/72-1/76. a 1/35 A Mk. VI would only be on the cards if it was another club GB. A tank museum modeller... in 1/72-1/76 For no particular reason, I've selected the A version copula but the schemes don't reflect any preference. Is it a date early/late thing? Stuart
  20. I have to agree with the previous posts. Excellent work and impossible 1/1200 railings made possible. Good work Tim. Stuart
