BIG X

Oh wow - I remember the classic Airfix GB from a few years back - the most fun I've ever had without waking up in a police cell. Go for it boys & girls.

Great build - keep up the good work

I popped along here expecting to see many more posts - or did I miss another thread? Anyway I thought it was a wonderful day - all done by 3pm so far from overly long & brilliantly executed by all those who participated. It was a shame about the fly past - I watched as a host of aircraft gathered over Norfolk & the North Sea - tankers / freighters / trainers / fighters. But it is Britain & the weather won in the end. May God bless their Majesties & keep them safe. Happy weekend & bank holiday for tomorrow - Steve

I have to admit to being a big Thomas Dolby fan too - "The Golden Age of Wireless" is a classic. I also love both Japan & David Sylvian's work in equal measure. My favourite Sylvian albums are Brilliant Trees & the Secrets of The Beehive - a very talented man. I saw him live a few years back at the Bridgewater Hall in Manchester - a wonderful evening.

Ha Ha - I "knew" you would be a fan of Japan Good man!!!

Sadly - news of the death of Ryuichi Sakamoto is just breaking. He was well known for his work with Yellow Magic Orchestra & David Sylvian of Japan. His work in film was also well known - especially from the movie - Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence. Rest in piece sir.

Oh Steve - That is so sad, but you loved him like a son. I am sure the whole community will feel your loss & share your grief. Farewell Patch - Godspeed lad. Steve

Steve - I have said a little prayer for you & Patch - I'm not religious you understand - but feel invested in your journey. Good luck to you both - Steve

Well the news just popped up - the amazing Vivienne Westwood has slipped off this mortal coil. I am 100% sure she would raise an eyebrow & smile at some old blokes on a model making forum singing her praises - but Madame X has a wardrobe full of her stuff & guess who paid for most of it. Sleep well Viv - you were a very special star. Steve

Lovely Acquisition - lovely shop - Merry Christmas to you Steve

Patch's story warms my heart with each unfolding episode - Steve - you are a lovely guy & this is a lovely story. Steve

Well done sir - I can respect a proper business speculation project

...with bacon, black pudding, mushrooms & tinned plum tomatoes... ...it's "almost" a meal in itself

Sausages - what's not to like Steve

Sad news indeed - he joined the forum on 16th September 2009 - 13 years and 1 day before he left us - God bless you & rest in peace

...About half an hour ago - a certain RAF Globemaster ZZ177 - carrying a very special lady... I was watching on Flightradar24 & she was heading due south when just north of Manchester she altered course to fly more or less directly over "town". From up here on the hills to the east of Manchester Madame X & I got a really good view as the cloud cover was very high. God Bless you Ma'am & God Save The King Big X

Thanks for the heads up Steve, It's sad news for modellers - but great news for cats Cheers - Steve

What on earth are you talking about? I posted that box top shot 13 months ago... I'm sorry but I cannot understand - We'll have to see what's what with this there wouldn't have been any late but does have the sand runners katy should have but the small late spare wheel cover! are you okay???

@TIGER HOBBIESLIMITED - glad you changed the thread title ...here is the offending piece of plastic... ...in all it's wavy & dull glory ... ...basically it is a PERFECT RENDITION of what it is trying to portray - a canvas door covering with acetate "windows". I hope someone points this out to the poor feckwit youtube star Steve

OMG!!! I am assuming the said youtube superstar is talking about this window section... ...having 20k followers is no guarantee that you know what your talking about I suppose BTW - I would change the name of your thread title - it doesn't do you any favours to the "casual browser" Steve

Hmmm

The Accurate Armour decals have a pair of black bulls & some very useful white on black "90"s for the 18th Light Field Ambulance. I would however question the code number stencil styles... ...also note the top one of the two 1st armoured rhino badges - his back end is missing!!!

I'll bet STAR DECALS are "badger"ing away as we speak on NW Europe schemes. Did you see what I did there Ben 😉 Steve

I'm liking the rotating roof vents on the early war version... http://www.missing-lynx.com/images/35gm0068previewbg_2.jpg I wonder if they are hidden amongst the 450 parts in the version I've got ???

Worth repeating this link to another thread here... I just read this thread & I am lost for words - take a look - it's shocking what has occurred behind the scenes... Steve
