Stressy

I built the AZ AZ Hampden about a year ago. Scratch built an interior ... don't bother you can't see it. The lack of locating pins wasn't a problem. The AZ canopies are far from trouble free - I hate to think what the Valom ones were like, but it all turned out nicely in the end.

Thanks Bill, yes it was your one and a thorough read through has been a great help. Re the wall, I had come to the same conclusion in placing it but it was good to see it done. Haven't tried splitter plates yet but I have put some spreaders in the fuselage half and shimed the front lower joint. The arrestor hook well was a complete mess - so all AZ standard features for this kit! Andy

I've got off to a bad start with my AZ Attacker! The cockpit area has a piece to glue in that provides part of the cockpit wall and stops a 'see through' look down the intake. The resin cockpit tub then glues in. I can't seem to get the position of the plastic wall piece. Has anyone gone through this and worked it out ... I'm sure I saw a build covering the point a few years ago and have searched for it with no success. Any help appreciated! Andy

Thanks for your help

Are there any aftermarket replacement tracks to suit the 1/35 Italeri Crusader available?

Airfix it is then. Thank you all.

What's the best Griffin engine Spitfire: late variant, bubble canopy, in terms of accuracy to go for in 1/72?

Thanks

Thanks. I'll mull over your spreadsheet... all I want really is an all white Vulcan with blue steel. You know how frustrating it is to find out you errors too late!

I'm a bit surprised by Airfix's calling out of Humbrol Gunmetal as the general colour of internal surfaces of the newish F8 Meteor, these include the inside of the fuselage, air intakes, wing spars and wheel wells. I would have expected Aluminium for all these areas ... am I wrong?

Adam, I am correct in thinking the full white finish with anti-flash painted marking aircraft also carried the blue steel aren't I? Is the configuration you give for XM603 correct for aircraft of this fit or must it be a top half camo for blue steel. I also have the kits world sheet ... so that's disappointing! But I also have a very old set of decals from the original Airfix release of the Vulcan (30 years ago?), if they are still useable would the be any good?

I'm having a deal of trouble getting the rear axles , suspension and prop shaft to line up and assemble on my 232 ... is there an issue with this kit as I can't fathom what I'm doing wrong?

Thought I'd try again!

Can anyone who couldn't see the images earlier see this one?

Argg! ... said I struggled! Can anyone see them?
