  1. I've wondered for a few years now, Eduard PE instructions, melting the bit of sprue and pushing it into the leaf shape on the PE, what for??

      I think the idea is to use transparent sprue and make as many position lights as you need in this manner. The ones that are actually cast on the sprue have a horrible tendency to ping off into oblivion or fall to the Carpet Monster, so this is a good way to make spares.

      I might try a variation of this with normal sprue to create the bumps on Typhoon wingtip pods, which are also prone to this fate.

      Mmmm, I can see the logic in that. You'd think they'd maybe give a bit more away in the explanation rather than a pic of a candle and bit of sprue!

  2. I do like arriving home from work and finding a parcel from MJW Models!

      It is actually bulging out the box! Thanks for quick delivery.

      No worries! That might be my fault for adding some cushioning inside the box, I like to try to make sure the kit's survive the postal system!

  3. Hummed and hawed about buying The Su-24 Famous Russian Aircraft book at a show a few weeks ago for £45, purchased today online for £21.60, that was close!

  4. Good Sea King documentary on BBC now, seen it before but good viewing...

  5. What a joy to build a kit that goes together well, GWH Mig-29, loving it!
