    Come on Tom admit it you found it rattling around inside one of your more generously scaled models! šŸ˜€

    Hmm a check of wickedpedia indicates that 864 Hawker Sea Furies were producedā€¦ Now that would make a lot of people very happy if true. If I am right is there a šŸ† ?

    Tom, I donā€™t know how you manage to make the building of these big vacforms look so effortless. You make it seem that anyone could do it. Then I remember how difficult it was - 1/72 Contrail Fairy Hendon in my youth It has almost persuaded me to have another go as there is an 1/32 Albatros D5 on evil bay.

    I do wish the modeling wouldn't get in the way of the banter, It is quite distracting....anyone would think this a modelling site. However, I have learned a whole new definition to the word "stash" and one that was quite different to my uni days... patchouli oil anyone? I hope when he mentions dancing girls Steve isn't referring to Debs here.... Although I am sure she can cut a rug with the best of them especially after a couple of Port and Lemons!

    RMCS that is a beautiful rendition and nice to see Airfix getting plaudits.....I have this kit in my stash, and it is next on the list after a WNW 1/32 Sopwith Tripe. What did you use for the blue on the pipes and may I ask your resources for the additional wiring? If i can get mine half as good as this I will be over the moon.

    Thank you General, and before anyone else says it...I dont care what you think you can see in the coop behind me, my ledgers clearly state that I havent got a spare pigeon. Martian ate that one too. Debs you could always use the phone... but I understand the General has a lion up his end!

    Permission to come aboard your generalship, as a rubber desk johnny and former blanket stacker, with a love of Bombers, I am loving this thread. I manfully churned out the old frog kit afore I had my brain removed at the school for backward boys/Sleaford Tech as my late father and Halton brat used to refer to it. He had the priviledge of Serving on 106 Sqn under Guy Gibson and had some interesting tales to tell. I think the prize for the ugliest aircraft must go to Blackburn for some of the monstrosities they turned out for the FAA during the interwar years. Although the requirement for full size chart tables amongst other things probably didnt help.

    Those photos remind me of the C-130 cartoons that used to go the rounds, DEBs i am sure will remember them, that gave the C130 a rather cuddly expression. Also being near Beverley we regularly get Typhoons "tail chasing" an cloud hopping, and you are right they are noisey! Best thing recently was being out on my push bike up on the top of the Wolds and being buzzed by a Tonka out of Marham.

    I hope someone isn't keeping a "log" of all these bad puns, and doesn't pull the chain on the blog.

    My 18 year old daughter has just looked over my shoulder and her response: "Awww they are sooooo cute"! Not sure that is a good thing or not

    Ooh I built one of these when I was nobbut a lad... I was building a sequence of Bombers in honour of my Dad who was a halton brat and was ground crew in Bomber Command: 106 and 619 Sqns. So I will be watching with interest.

    I have this beauty in my stash along with the Mossie, every time i go in the loft where SWMBO has decreed that they sit I look at it and then put it back! Bit difficult to build something of that size in digs!

    I have a collection of WW1 models in the one true scale, made over many years (most of them dating from my school days) which was more years ago than I care to think and then on seeing this masterpiece realise how poor they are. Great modelling skills on display here though
