  1. Now THAT is one nice looking Lanc! And also to you Heather, been lurking in the background following along. Grabbing idea's, and appreciating the quality of the models being built. Regards, Pete in RI
  2. Patrik, that's what I still do with my failures! I have no "shelf of doom". Only these days I have upgraded to Estes rocket engines. Far more effective.
  3. The solution is easy. Get one of those penny balsa rubber band flyers and attatch the rubber band through the fuselage and fit the bright red propeller to the nose!
  4. That's quite a list, many one offs. Have the Gordon, Seal, and Atlas as 1/72 Vacs.
  5. Looking good so far Tony ( not that I know ANYTHING about 3D printing mind you 🙃), and I too have the old Contrail vac Gordon in the stash. Will have to check what other aircraft used the Panther. Regards, Pete
  6. Great work going on here Steve, will have to print this out and keep in the kit box for future referance. Regards, Pete in RI
  7. Hey! I built this this kit! Around the 1860's mind you, when I was a young nipper. Your's came out, I believe, despite the aft looking rose coloured glasses, a LOT better than mine did lololol.
  8. Cool! Thanks for the heads up Jon
  9. well, hang on! Only one wing and NO rigging??? Are those real aeroplanes?
  10. Looking great Tony, well done. That missing PM is inbound. (oops, my bad)
  11. oh, and don't forget the Aussie versions also........ and then the Sunbeam Arab motors, the USA modified versions, ...........😱
  12. Nice, well done. So, you will need to do a wartime one with the original tail and PC10 / CDL, a Palestine one in PC12, a post war small tail in Silver with all the Arabian and NW Frontier paraphanalia hanging off them, a Mk 4 large tail in silver with wing slats. You had better buy some more kits.
  13. Thanks Max, I am really useless at that linking stuff.
  14. Thanks Houston, yes, he has the full crowd, kids, grandkids, etc. Hope they will have a great day out. Regards, Pete
  15. AWESOME! I just sent the link to my brother who lives in Leeds
  16. Yes, Pip, Medium Sea Grey will work fine. Regards, Pete ps, Bob, I am really crap at posting pictures also. It seems like it takes me hours to do. Just a computer retard I guess. 🤣
  17. Wellllll........going by this black and white photo.......lolol. Google the Shuttleworth Collection and the RAF Museum. Their websites have colour photo's of Brisfits as they are today.
  18. Thank you all for the additional info. Will try using Jadars site again, bought from them many times and always excellent service. And I will check out the above links. Regards, Pete
  19. Ok, now to the model. Engine: Gnome monosoupape 100hp. check out Taurus Models. Kit: No Contest. Wingnut Wings, 1/32 Details: Taurus Models for the Pulsator valve, HGW Models for seat belts and Photo Etch details Eduard .com for photo etch details Aviattic.com for CDL decals Propeller: Properplane.com They make a VERY nice real wood 4 blade prop. References: Albatros Publications monograph on the DH2. Very worthwhile to get for the detailed photo coverage. Cross and Cockade . com detailed book on the DH2 development and service operation. Not too much on the aircraft details. I think it really should have been better in this area. AND.....If you REALLY want to get silly, then check out Aerodrome Aeroplanes kit built DH2. The ULTIMATE DH2 kit! lolol.
