  1. You were right CC - that does please me! Lovely build and such an attractive scheme, Cheers, Roger
  2. Michael, Thanks for this - most helpful! The Brengun kit does have the tropical filter and the 3 bladed prop. I cannot tell for certain from the photo whether DN323 has the fishplates (but I think yes), and I will check the tails between the two kits! Cheers, Roger
  3. Thanks very much Steve - good to be back in the saddle! Cheers, Roger
  4. Thanks Alistair - looking forward to getting some paint down! Cheers, Roger
  5. Most kind James - thanks very much!
  6. Thanks CC! I'm looking forward to throwing some camo at these two... Cheers, Roger
  7. Thanks Chris, I was struggling with lower back pain, so was unable to exercise which had a knock-on effect on mental well-being. Thankfully a rather clever chiropractor correctly diagnosed the issue, so all is now well! It's good to be back... Cheers, Roger
  8. Hi All, I've been a bit quiet on the modelling front of late as I had a fairly major mojo slump. I had pushed along with the Tiffie last weekend but did not have the inclination to post, so this is a bit of an omnibus edition now that Mr Mojo is back! In order to pose the car door open the Brengun canopy had to be butchered: I actually moved pretty quickly and missed out a few steps - here's some paint being applied to the rear turtledeck: You can see that I've opened up the fuselage for the door. Whilst I was doing that I also cut out the cannon hatch on the top of the starboard wing, allowing this loveliness to show through: So last weekend's work got us to here: You can also see that I've carved out the openings for the wingtip lights. So this weekend has been all about the Kittyhawk. Now although this boxing of the kit is actually called 'Four Gun', six guns are provided - confused, moi? In order to revert to a four gun configuration it is therefore necessary to sand down the reinforcement plates aft of the ejector ports: One then has to fill the outer ejector ports, and add new 3D printed reinforcement plates (in a rather fetching salmon pink): Detail on the kit is lovely - here's the instrument panel: And the cockpit side panels: Here they are in situ: The fit and engineering are a real step forward for SH who are to be commended, so very quickly we got to this point: I think we should see some paint going down next week - it's good to be back! Thanks for looking, Roger
  9. On this occasion I am not pleased to be proven correct, but you appear to have the situation under control! Cheers, Roger
  10. Chris, Great to see the Seafire finished - you are surely kicking the goals! Cheers, Roger
  11. Chris, Lovely finish on the Nomad - very glad you didn't give up! Cheers, Roger
  12. Murray, Lovely work on the trolley accumulator! I have built both Mossie and Blenheim, and they are both a joy to build. Will look forward to seeing what you make of them, Cheers, Roger

  18. Alistair, Looking good with the primer down - eagerly awaiting some TSS loveliness! Cheers, Roger
  19. Alistair, Nice work on your part, poor work on the apprentice tool designer's 🤣 Cheers, Roger
