Just need your address and then i can post the mag . 

If you follow Ebay procedures, you have to send it back first but I find Ebay don't always make thing better for anyone

IIRC they provide you with a prepaid postage label at the sellers expense.

now that is worth knowing, how to organise that seems to be another matter, not easy to find your way around their 'complaints' pages. Thanks for the comments everyone..

I think the 'problem' is that its a 72nd scale build...

Ah yes someone has gone a bit OTT with the pre shading, on the nose especially.

..the 'Spanish' school I guess

Happy Anniversary

Happy Britmodeller day Neil

It never ends, like the Universe. Or something.

But was any of it worth reading?

mostly yes indeed! You never know until you've waded through though..

Need to go to Specsavers

a Grandad moment!

Serendipity

At least you found 'em

I know Hornby owns Airfix but I beleive the Airfix side of the business is in good health so if the worst was to happen it should be easy enough to sell that side to help the parent companys finances I would guess.

Got to be a good thing and well worth a look, thanks.

Sounds like my clubs 1st XI this year...

Not trying to be smug, but I regard each new kit like an IKEA flatpack - the first thing to do is check the parts.

It can't be beyond the wit of Airfix to replace a transparency sprue, surely? Transparencies were missing from a Spitfire 22 kit of mine a couple of years ago, and the spare arrived in Germany within a week.

yep, lesson learned...I'm even thinking that where I buy in a real shop, I'll try to view the contents first..

Have you sorted your canopy issues? Is it the Mk 1 or the Mk IV? I have a spare Mk 1 canopy (didn't turn up in time to replace a crushed one, but I was able to extemporise). May take awhile to come from Oz though. PM if interested.

Yay!

indeed! ..still waiting for the Airfix spares Dept to come through so that I can finish the first one.. thanks again for all your help!

Godspeed.

Part 2 - ...the wing halves together to get a nice strong joint. Assemble the engine cowlings before inserting the engines themselves - tolerances are tight.

The new Blenheim kits are lovely when they're done, don't despair and don't give up!

thanks Steve!..very helpful..

Three Blenheims in, and I'm still learning. Glad to have been of assistance.

How do people become aware of such information?

Flanker vs Typhoon perhaps?

Ah, I got my hands on that a couple weeks back, really great magazine-book type!

Hmm, was pondering that.

just caught Stix's Mk V thread..same thing there...drillled and pinned. Quite a tricky operation on such thin parts..

Just beat me to it. Yeah you'll need micro-drills and patience!

Good luck!

.all done..to be fair to Airfix they have tried to represent the pintle and the leg very accurately...a little too accurately

I try, but my mother-in-law won't let me pay for books I order from her store. I feel bad!

Oh, to have a bookstore in the family - you married well.

As long as it is his model and not someone elses!

This is taking Identity theft to a new level.

..cheers.. will have to get my bike pump out

If the paint is not broken then getting it warm with a hair dryer or similar will stop it cracking when you pop the dent out. If the metal is creased then a DIY repair is very hard but doable you should push out most of the dent then fill the rest in that case. Good luck. Oh and give the repair site a good clean with abrasive or solvent to make sure the filler sticks.

thanks!

I wonder whether IPA (Isopropanol, not the beer) would work. - It's going to be easier to source Maskol than isoprpyl alcohol I think though.

Find an art supply shop. Artists use similar stuff but it's thinner. It also goes off. I've just checked mine. not too expensive for a small jar

..cheers, thanks for replys!

you shouldn't even have to ask

actually it was a Sparmax TC 5000 ...and I did ..wow

Silent ones are the law. I've been using the same one for 13years and still going strong. And it's made in Italy. More reliable than a Fiat!

To me, the tail sweep & nose shape of the BBC silhouette don't match the Fencer.

Aren't scale modeling forums great?

Nonsense, mine has been the best drink coaster I've ever owned.

...have only just discovered how to by-pass itunes..but of course you need a lap-top to exploit 'copy-trans'. What I wouldn't give for a USB port right now ! (er..£229 ..the price of a new Acer Aspire...)

..Mike, the sale is yours if you can get it anywhere near that lower figure!

Bomber or Tanker version?

..bomber please
