  1. Great result, you really got the exhaust pipe colour. I suspect I just painted mine black, back in the day
  2. ‘fighter jet’? Gloster were clearly ahead of the game 😀
  3. What a fantastic thread. I think my first kit was an Eagle Spitfire from a fishing tackle shop in the highlands where we used to live. Moved to Dunfermline in the 60s where Woolies did Airfix with the big board with the Sunderland on it, and most of my pocket money went on series 1 bags. @albergman might remember the names. Souness had the Frog kits and the Canberra and P1 made their way home. There was one shop by the Glen gates, that had the Revell fighters, the Coop toy shop had the Frog box scale kits and exotic stuff like Lindbergh with the see through boxes. The Model & Hobby shop had the newer Frog kits and Triang railways as well as fishing tackle. Later, I used to get a big Airfix kit at Christmas, but never the Lancaster, despite my dad being ground crew on them. My gran, in Coatbridge, bought me the Merit Swordfish floatplane in that odd tinny plastic which I started at hers and managed to get back home to finish. All shops and models gone now, apart from some bits in the spares box. Don
  4. I was amazed, not only by the whole Zeppelin display, but also how amazingly small and intricate the models are. I don’t think I truly appreciated how tiny the gondolas, propellors and rigging wires are from the photos on the thread. A great piece of work. Don
  5. Hope your surgery goes ok, I had anchors put in my right rotator cuff and had to spend 6 weeks in a sling. I managed to train my left hand to raise glasses, etc after a while. Physio afterwards was worse 😀
  6. Thanks, I can see the ones on this page now, but not the older ones. Probably an IPad issue. Nice set up you have there. Don
  7. I was taught to drive on a Series II ragtop, only had the brakes fail on me once, luckily there was a wall to stop me.
  8. I think this is version 2, I built both, back in the sixties. Looking forward to see how you get on. Don
  9. Grob Tutor, as some days on Flight Radar it’s the most numerous RAF aircraft flying… Only slightly tongue in cheek, it would be nice to have modern kits of the current Air Force, as well as the recently out of service.
  10. Very nice, hope your planned diorama will be kitten/cat proof! Don
  11. Excellent modelling of little known subjects that deserve a bit more prominence.
  12. To return this thread to its title, well, nearly, I arrived in the south of Bavaria to be greeted by - https://das-festspielhaus.de/en/programm/zeppelin-das-musical/ Has the writer been making notes on this thread? Don
