  1. Yeah, but surely there's some willy-waving between the various proposals?!
  2. @Enzo the Magnificent, can you add us to the hall of shame, please?!
  3. Thanks lads - I'll add you to the list! Boom! Bun fight here we jolly well come!
  4. I've been polishing the sow's breakfast, or some-such, and progress is being made. I don't think this lot was ever going to fit that well, but if I'd put the wings on first and then the intake parts maybe it would have all lined up a little better. Anyway, there'll be some sanding and filling going on in my near future, however I'd done it. Some big gaps in the wing roots necessitated yet more filler (AK's water-based stuff instead of the PPP that is working its magic on the intakes). Here you can see just how great the fit was! All in all it's taking some fettling but I'm enjoying it so far. It's not a kit that'll trouble a Tamiya or Eduard offering, but I do quite like it. The next job is to get the filling/sanding marathon out of the way and then battle the seam line saga. Wish me luck! Cheers, JRK EDIT: I've just remembered that I've also made up the seemingly dozens of external tanks that the CF-5A needed; Canada's a big place, after all!
  5. Yay, progress! This is A Good Thing, because the end of the GB is rapidly approaching. I've sorted the paint overspray, dummy-fitted the canopy, painted the radome, test-fitted the undercarriage etc etc. The next step is to mask and spray the canopy, then gloss coat the airframe. Slowly slowly catchee monkey. Cheers, JRK
  6. I'm sure we're open to the usual bribery, corruption, intimidation and downright unfair practices.
  7. I've not built a 1/32 kit yet; this may be the first! Well done Kotare, this looks like a great model.
