That’s a thing of beauty Roger. Really repays all the effort you’ve put into it! Craig.- 123 replies

Hi Alistair, Glad to see you're finally buckling down to some tricky stuff. It's a nice kit which I expect you'll have finished by the weekend. If you want to know how really not to do it, may I recommend my build of the same kit which may be found here. If you make one improvement to the kit, I'd recommend breaking out your belt sander and thinning down the trailing edges of the wing. Looking forward to seeing how this turns out. Craig.

I would like to put on record my strong disagreement with this statement. This just keeps getting better and better Mark and I'm sure a spot of simulated grime will serve to disguise the brick joint. Craig.

Welcome from another East Lothian resident! There must be something in the water… I suspect you may have found your spiritual home here. Enjoy! Craig.

it’s statements like this that make me very glad you don’t work on the ECML. Well Alistair, I finally got around to buying the Arma Wildcat at the Perth show in a no doubt vain attempt to emulate your fantastic build of that kit, and this thread will doubtless lead to me adding the Arma Mustang to my must-purchase list. I’m looking forward to seeing the fantastic job you do of this. The headmaster of my primary school (whose name I seem to have forgotten, well it was 50 years ago) was a former Lancaster pilot who had known Leonard Cheshire and on several occasions, he told us children of his great admiration for the man. Craig. (I’ve just remembered. Mr. Watkins!)

If I may, I'd like to join the rousing chorus welcoming you back Ced. I anticipate a sharp rise the in the Britmodeller double entendre index imminently. Craig. -
Crashed Heinkel Unpublished Photographs
Dandie Dinmont replied to fishplanebeer's topic in Aircraft WWII
Just read through this thread and one thing struck me, does the report specify where the yellow M was located? If not, is it possible that it came from the aircraft’s previous existence as G1+MT and perhaps was located somewhere (possibly on the lower wing?) where it was exposed by the crash or subsequent fire? Just a thought, great project anyway! Craig. -
For me, one of the best things about Britmodeller is the way threads can dart off in unexpected directions bringing previously unknown information to light (and I for one had never heard of the V1’s anti tipping sensor). When said information is actually relevant to the subject on hand, that’s a bonus! So I don’t think you need to apologise Mark, I think you should be commended for continuing a fine old tradition. Which I will also do by recalling reading somewhere that the Tempest cockpit featured some sort of vent which allowed hot air from a V1 explosion to enter the cockpit and scorch the pilot’s forearm, another good reason to go for the tipping option. Craig.

Glad to hear you’re finally getting Henry the Hernia sorted out Mark. Good luck, and I’m sure that once you’re sitting comfortably again, your progress will be even more spectacular! Looking forward to what comes next. Craig.
