  1. https://archive.org/details/BritishExplosiveOrdnance/page/n11/mode/2up Page 45 Chris
  2. Like this? Photo courtesy of Carl Vincent ( @Carl V ) Also, I think these bombs could have been painted Dark Green. Chris
  3. I've had this kicking around the stash for some years now: Chris
  4. My two largest collections are: Savoy Brown - 22 albums Bob Dylan - 41 albums Chris
  5. Nothing will happen. If you are hand-brushing, it will help in avoiding brush streaks. If air-brushing, it will give you some time for masking removal. It's not necessary to use it. Chris
  6. If using Tamiya, I recommend getting this, to slow down drying time, especially if airbrushing. Chris
  7. Now that's a good lookin' tank! Where in the great, large country are you? Yesterday, it was 8 degrees, light rain with just a bit of snow. Chris
  8. Looking good! Too bad you lowered both ailerons. It should be one up, one down. Chris
  9. Get a bottle of acetone-based nail polish remover. That stuff undoes super glue, for those time when you accidently glue your fingers together or glue something to somewhere you don't want it. Chris
  10. My collection of Allison-powered Mustangs: Not sure of accuracy on any of these. Chris
  11. According to Wikipedia, the Caproni was powered by by Piaggio Stella P.VII, which was based on a Gnome et Rhône 7K, design, that was based on the Bristol Titan 7-cylinder engine. Chris
  12. Like this shot of VR-A, taken at CFB Greenwood, in the early 90's. Chris
  13. My saw collection: I have two different Xacto saw blades. The other one has slightly larger teeth. The Xacto handle with the wooden bit at the end is fitted with a bit of a broken CMK blade. It's great for cutting through thick sprue gates. Chris
  14. But why only on the Pegasus-powered Wellington? And why not on all of those Wellingtons? The Bristol Pegasus was a larger version of the Mercury, to deliver more power. Why didn't Mercurys have that fairing? Chris
  15. The PZL 37 did not have that holed fairing/plate fitted over the central gear casing, nor did any other Bristol Pegasus powered aircraft I have ever seen. If you have photos of such fittings, I'd like to see them. Chris
  16. Like this one, in my stash; Chris
  17. Just a reminder: While Airfix would have you paint the upper fuselage section that is under the canopy #33 Black, in reality, it should be painted Dark Green, the same as the upper camouflage colour. Chris
  18. I just found these on my 'puter. Chris
  19. The German 30 mm. cannon could supposedly take down a B-17 with as few as 3 hits, especially if the wings were hit. Chris
  20. I bought these a few years ago, but haven't used them yet: Chris
  21. On mine, after the final shaping with a file, I went over the clear bits using these. When done, the lights were coated with Future, giving them a nice, clear look. Chris
