    Hendie, you could always do a nice RCAF Mk.II.

    If I have a chance, I'll look through my references today. We're in the midst of getting new flooring installed in the house and there's a bit of upheaval going on. Chris

    It's my boat and I'm the captain! Chris

    Wow! That's amazing. I don't know what's better, your build & painting skills or your photography. Chris

    Well done, Sir! I always like to see Canadian content. It's the law here. Chris

    Oh, I can get lots, just that now I have to buy it. No more " resource reallocation " from the plant. Chris

    I'm a big fan of Locktite as I used to be able to " acquire " it at work. However, since I retired over a year ago, my source and my last bottle have dried up. Chris

    Thanks, Scott. Chris

    A real beauty. I always like to see Canadian content. My only issue is that none of the RCAF Typhoon squadrons user RP's, only bombs. I may be wrong here and if I am, I'm sure someone who knows more will be along shortly. Chris

    Yes it did. Chris

    I'll be following this one. Not sure what " that big stick thingy " is, as I can't see anything in this picture. Chris

    I just did an on-line check and both our R-5 kits are the same. Yours is the original issuer, according to Scalemates. https://www.scalemates.com/kits/145695-encore-models-1016-polikarpov-r-5 Chris

    Nice one! Chris

    I have a Yak-6 and an R-5 kit that look like those. The Encore is a copy of some Eastern European kit and I don't know who made the Yak. Chris

    As I understand it, there wasn't any direct connection between the front and rear crew. That's why the RAF requested a wider fuselage, thereby giving us the Baltimore. Chris

    Would older vehicles have been re-painted or just left in the original colour? Chris

    Just because I can and in case someone else would like to see it, this is the Jiminy Cricket as it is the Warpaint No. 48 Westland Lysander. Chris

    A bit more searching: https://weaponsandwarfare.files.wordpress.com/2016/04/lysandersss.jpg Chris

    From IWM. Probably not of much use. http://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/object/205124087 Chris

    I've often wondered about the inside of the cowling of Bristol powered models. Should the interior colour ( grey-green ) be painted right up to the lip, or would the collector ring colour be visible? Chris

    Watching and waiting. Chris

    Looking good, Ced. If asked, I'd say that the collector needs to be bigger, i.e., further back along the cowl. It should take up more of the front of the cowling. I realize that it may be the shape of the kit parts that gives it that look. I don't have access to my Special Hobby kit at the moment, so I can't really comment on the shape. Chris
