Needless to say I have now subbed to the new Phoenix magazine 👍

Just narrowly avoided auto renewing these magazines.. phew luckily I had an old card saved

Nice work so far - I'd say you nailed those manifold they look real ! Paul

Very very nice work I chickened out of an overall silver scheme - I have this kit on the bench as well I'm going to finish mine as an FB5 with camo - in fact I've enjoyed this kit that much I've just bought another and the F.1 conversion A tip I got off youtube was to use tungsten putty in the nose worked well Paul

good point I missed that ! they have changed the page 3 foreword mind you

I just got a notification from pocketmags of 2 new issues Paul

The one at thetford has 8 bolts 🤔 http://tank-photographs.s3-website-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/cromwell-tank-desert-rat-norfolk.html

Hi All I'm building this kit at the moment - wheels aside I cannot believe the fit - its fantastic absolute pleasure to build almost tamiya like https://imgbox.com/kUwf0hjA

I cant vouch for the seller (although they look ok) but this is something of a bargain https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Werther-Sil-Air-Low-Noise-Air-Compressor-ideal-for-paint-spray-car-bike-projects/123309054810?hash=item1cb5cadb5a:g:p~4AAOSwfrJbcZqN Paul

Great work I have this kit on the go as well - I didnt know about those decals v interesting options

Nice work ! .. I find myself gravitating more and more to the like of tamiya stuff over dragon etc .. life to short

wow these look great

Fantastic work - similar stage to mine (I'm building an italian version though) Paul

That cockpit looks fantastic Paul

Nice work Stathis - looks a really interesting subject - got me tempted now as I love greece

Bought ! .. these look cool

Went to the harrogate store yesterday - lots of airfix still and some academy not much tamiya/hasegawa (though loads of tam spit mk1?) loads of paints still .Picked up an airfix lancaster dambusters set for £22ish they had 1 1/48 merlin on the shelf still worked out cheap with voucher... Paul

Jason I had some similar issues with a VLS I bought off ebay years ago I bought repair parts got nowhere airbrush ended in bin and I moved to Iwata

Well... a box arrived today brimming with extra thin from LM . nice one will keep me going for a while and only took a few days to arrive!

I've ordered a box of six from LM lets see what happens..

I missed the hannants ones today.. pants.. anyway I ordered a box full (6) from LM about 6months or so ago arrived ok and very well packed each one had several layers of bubble wrap on and box was strong so I wouldnt be too worried Paul

beware on the quickboost stuff for this kit - huge dissapointment I ordered the early cowling and it was WAY too small - if fact total junk Paul

nice work on a great kit - got the same kit on my bench but stalled at about 75% done!

"Same for me and I really tried with it, thin coats weeks of waiting and still it was tacky. I binned it and went to their aqua based one in the end" Me too its just also reacted with mig thinners an sort of gone "gooey" when I brushed the filter - I did this a day after though Pretty sure mine came from little cars as well at the bolton show I think Paul
