Nice one Chris, Looking spectacular. I hope you don't need to do some surgery. Not too far to go now. Cheers, Alistair

Thanks so much. That is extremely kind of you. You will probably learn what not to do as well. I've got form for that. Thanks very much JR. When I picked the kit up I was just going to do the box art version but when I saw the Netherlands version I was hooked. Many Thanks. Thanks very much Mark. It was a total blast. Working with such illustrious company helped, of course. Thanks very much Roger, Thanks to you for the idea and for letting me join in. It was fun. Thanks so much Chris, Both for your kind words and for all your support. Thanks so much WP, most kind. Thank you so much Alain. Many thanks Mark you are too kind. Thank you so much Keith. That is extremely kind of you. Cheers, Alistair

Indeed they will. Many thanks for these. Cheers, Alistair

Thanks Mark, It was a pleasure to join in. Many thanks Andre. Thanks so much Mark, Very kind of you.

Thanks very much. Too kind. Many thanks, It was a really fun build and it's all Roger's fault, of course. Thanks Roger, Thanks for letting me join in at the coo's tail too. Thanks very much Chris, Most kind. Cheers, Alistair

I'm intrigued and in. An airframe I'd never heard of in the hands of a master. Nice work on the framing and will look forward to further progress. Cheers, Alistair

And what a start. I'll be watching this with great interest, not only for the superb work on show, but to nick as many techniques as possible. Cheers, Alistair

It does indeed. Not only do they look good but the nose leg has both links to the door and the nose wheel is right. Thanks very much for the info. Cheers, Alistair

As always this is just incredible work. Thanks for explaining the stippling effect. I may just nick that for future builds. Cheers, Alistair

Thanks very much. Cheers, Alistair

Thanks very much. Many thanks that is extremely kind of you. Cheers, Alistair

These little works of art from @Ali62 arrived a couple of days ago. As I've finally pushed the Buffalo over the line I'll get on with this tomorrow. Thanks for looking, Cheers, Alistair

Final bits and bobs done. Well, sort of. Unmasking the clear parts was fun as i got a bit more paint lift and then spotted that I'd not put the gunsight in. Oh well, stuff happens and as far as i'm concerned it's done. Many thanks to Roger and Mark for letting me play in their sand pit for a while. I had a total blast doing this. RFI Here. Thanks to everyone for all the support through this one but mainly to Roger and Mark for letting me play. Cheers, Alistair

I built this one as part of a MGB with @Dunny and @mark.au and I had a lot of fun. My grateful thanks to them for letting me join in. For a kit that was originally released in 1974 it went together beautifully. Primed with Tamiya Neutral Grey. Painted with: Tamiya Flat Aluminium, Khaki, Olive Drab, Rubber Black, Nato Black, Clear Red and Clear Green. Hataka Golden Yellow Washed with Flory Dark Dirt, Various Windsor & Newton Oils thinned with lighter fluid. Oil dot filter with Windsor & Newton White, Green, Paynes Grey, Burnt Umber, Burnt Sienna and Abteilung Smoke. Clear Coated with Windsor & Newton Galeria Matt Varnish tinted with a couple of drops of Tamiya Deck Tan. All in all a nice kit. Thanks for looking, Cheers, Alistair

Thanks very much. Thanks Mark, Unmasking this morning and there was more paint lift. Bits have been touched up but I need to wait for it to dry properly and then get the toothpick clean up done. Thanks WP, I just fancied doing something a bit different. Cheers, Alistair

Thanks Chris, I'm thinking it shouldn't be too long now. Cheers, Alistair

Well, it's been rather a productive day. First of all a light wash. Followed by some oil work. The undercarriage got a oil wash then the Prop, wheels, pitot and aerial were fitted and it's time for a matt coat. I'll get some dust and dirt on her tomorrow along with a final tinted flat coat and then unmasking and aerial wires rigged. That should just about do it. Thanks for looking, Cheers, Alistair

Jings Chris this just keeping getting better and better. Not a tail sitter - Result. Cheers, Alistair

Sterling work so far Mr, Duff. Mine arrived yesterday and I will be following along with great interest. Looking forward to further progress. Cheers, Alistair

Thanks Chris. Mr. Mark Setter did the trick and they've all settled nicely. Thanks Mark and Roger, That is extremely kind of both of you. You both have encouraged and helped me to try to improve my stuff but it's the usual story, I'm my own worst critic and I know where the flaws are. Still keep pushing me though as it's so much fun doing this. Cheers, Alistair

Glad to see you back at these Chris. The Nimrod is looking great. Looking forward to some more. Cheers, Alistair

Thanks very much Kevin, Mark and Roger's build are crackers and I will trail happily in their shadows. Cheers, Alistair

An absolute belter Mark. To repeat what Roger said. Your good is something the rest of us can only aspire to. That leaves me trailing about 4 laps back but I'll try to get there soon. Cheers, Alistair

Now you're talking. What a result. That looks amazing. I do hope you've managed to get enough weight in the tanks to get het level. Cheers, Alistair

Thanks Roger. They settled down after one treatment. Thanks Mark, they did indeed. I'll go and have a look. Thanks so much that is most kind. Cheers, Alistair
