  1. I think the Less than a Tenner GB hold the record followed by Lesser built AF? I may be wrong I don't actually record the results
  2. Are you hosting and do want or have a co host? I didn't see anything the the thread.
  3. Once again, thanks folks Well we're booked in for five shows, does that answer your question? I never doubted it Mike, you stirrer
  4. Thanks guys, it has been fun and I mean that. I don't think so I think the annual KUTA GB will be my swan song, All though I didn't think of the idea that belonging to my predecessor I thought it was a great GB to end each year with. I do hope it makes it onto the 2017 and onwards calender.
  5. As announced my Mike today in the Announcements section HERE I'm stepping down from moderating the Group Builds. Here, paraphrased is Mike's announcement I'll be around till Enzo has picked up all the skills of herding cats and I might even find time to build for a few GBs I would like to publicly thank all you GB'ers for your support, kindness and help over the past six, nearly seven years. I have made lots of friends, seen some great builds and enjoyed just about every minute of the job I have one request of Enzo, it's been a sort of tradition that I host the KUTA GB every year. I would love to continue to do so. Happy modelling all and thank you.
  6. Small/thin spoked wheels with plain tyres so yes the smaller bulged upper inner wing panels. You need to check every aircraft, even the kit options are wrong for the supplied larger bulges
  7. Thanks guys Rick, I think you meant mottling? If so carefully No seriously I will use my airbrush on a very low pressure and get in fairly close with sort 'bursts' of paint.
  8. Go for it Rick, it's a lovely kit, not as nice as the Spitfire but still a good kit. Yes the oil cooler is a replacement part for the Revell kit as the kit part is slightly the wrong size and shape. So today's progress, quite a lot done today the cockpit was cemented into one of the fuselage halves and the mating halve cemented together. I then added the Barracuda resin carburettor intake and corrected oil cooler. Both fitted very well. Next up was to add the upper inner wing parts. As the plane I'm building has the narrower/smaller wheels it doesn't need the large upper wing wheel bulges supplied with the kit.For this I purchased the Ally Cat replacement, but as can be seen from a previous post it would be very hard if not impossible to make them fit. So my only other option was to 'steal' the inner wing parts from my G-6 kit. Lower wings were fitted next, closely followed by the upper outer wing parts. Some clamping and filling with Mr Dissolved Putty was required on the wing joins, but the fit is not too bad.
  9. What do you folks think? These are some after-market parts for my 1:32 Revell Bf109G-10 The small wheel bulge insert compared against the part for the G-6 boxing (kit part to the front) As you can see the resin part is way out and if sanded to shape there will be no leading edge just a hole! The wheels (kit part to the right) I actually prefer the kit part. The oil cooler is a bit improvement over the kit part (kit part to front)
  10. Very nice work Shaun, love than all
