    I use Gators Grip. It's PVA with extra, er, grip. Marvellous stuff.

    Tremendous work.

    Invariably wheels down, especially now that so many are available as white metal and therefore stronger.

    Some of us haven't seen the first one yet!
  5. avro683
    Correct. Nightmare!

    As did the Stirling, Lancaster, B17 and others of that size and vintage. Just love those old instructions "Locate and cement pilot, part 1, to seat, part 2, after first painting if desired"!

    I was wondering the same thing.

    Indeed Dave but as is mentioned above the wing tips and ailerons (together) are separate parts. I just think it is a shame that the fin root hasn't been moulded separately too as then virtually all marks could be modelled.

    That link has a virus attached to it.

    I got that on my Airfix MR.2. The upside of that I suppose is the shrinkage should be easier to fill as there are no "rivets".
  11. avro683
    Pictures in the 2017 calendar given with the recent Airfix Modellers World would certainly suggest that.

    Really good work. I used those markings on the Classic Airframes B2.

    At the set tour in Slough I went to on 12 March. I was a backer for the Thunderbirds 1965 project; there was an invitation for people to visit the set before the complete industrial estate is raised to the ground for redevelopment. Shades of Terror in New York City!

    I saw one of those in the flesh. It's magnificent.

    The original shade of green used on Thunderbird 2 was a bespoke mix. When they ran out, it couldn't be replicated exactly, hence the different shades.

    That's very similar Julien.

    One of the close-up pictures I have of a Meteor seat has a label "pull red handle". I must admit to never having seen that before.
  18. avro683
    It is good but I'm not sure that the colour of the ejection seat cord is correct. I thought the early ones were red.

    Nice work Jonners!
  20. avro683
    And considerable on mine.

    Hannants obviously expect the kit to sell very well. Three brand new Xtradecal sheets are advised as future releases.
  22. avro683
    I noticed that there are two types of canopy too. Potential for earlier marks?

    Wings of the Luftwaffe is a very useful book for German Aircraft flown by Eric Brown. Lots of photos and cockpit detail drawings are included.

    Slightly off subject although not for this post, there was a very interesting programme on BBC2 recently detailing the work of Jim Marshall. I thought it was fascinating.
  25. avro683
    Indeed you do, and there's even more of them.
