  1. The spec mentions "DTV Recording (Via Extenal HDD,USB)" so you should be able to record to a USB device from the TV - try a memory stick to test it out or a USB SSD if you have one.

  4. There's this not very prominent message on the website. https://www.eduard.com/eduard-products-for-march-2022-1/?&force_sid=t1aqek23eu76t991h89ejthb3pb14uqe New March releases are available! Please note, Eduard webstore closure is planned till mid-March 2023. The following week we will begin moving our warehouse, which we will complete by mid-March. We will not be shipping orders during this time. We plan to restart operations on 10 March. We will do our best to achieve even bit earlier date. Thank you for your understanding and you support.

  5. The second ARAM HOBBY is now on it's way to paint. Cockpit went together reasonably well, started with bulkhead, then the PE and instrument panel. Again some filing of the instrument panel and chopping out some of the sidewall framing made up for the lack of positive location for the panel. I reinforced the seat mounts with some Mr Dissolved Putty and managed to get the seat level instead of the lopsided previous attempt. The 2nd set of wings were much more reluctant to close up compared to the 1st one. Added the wings in 2 stages, first did the 2 wing roots and left that to dry before moving onto the front and rear. Then the rear joint to the fuselage, making sure that the fuselage and wing were aligned. Finally closing up the front joint could be done without worrying about pushing anything out off alignment while closing the joint. Tailplane, again different fit to the other ARMA HOBBY, previous one was a snug fit, this one need the tab thinning. One thing to note is that care is needed when removing the nib at the front of the rudder as it quite easy to round the front of it, And another tailplane aerial to be fabricated The missing pipe was added using a short length of the inner from cat e5 cable, the tab for the pneumatic tank was removed and instead glued into recess in the undercarriage bay with the pipe running over the tank,
  6. After messing up the rudder when trying to fix the broken tailplane aerial and given that the Xtradecals are still hiding from me I'm just going to complete the other using the box scheme L1679 JX-C, After a hatchet job with the knife the keel was removed I was left with this. Keel fitted and filled and an attempt made to fix the damage caused by the glue, much better than it was, but the fabric ridges make it difficult to make a truly satisfactory job of it AftFitted the keel and
  7. Starter set is nearly finished after a few mishaps on the way. A common theme is my breaking of the tailplane aerial tube, I had some brass tube that I have grafted in together with a pole aerial on the fuselage. Tailwheel also broke, but the Hurristory has resin replacements so used one from there. Mr Hobby paints H72 - Dark Earth, H73 - Dark Green and H74 Sky thinned with MCLT. Decals went on really well just using water with a couple drops of dishwasher detergent.
  8. I opened up the radiator inlet as suggested by @Troy Smith . This composite shows the difference, the sequence is Airfix, ARMA and Airfix opened out. The opened out one ended a bit too square, I think rounding the outside before attacking the inside might produce a better result. This is how they should look - Deryck
  9. I finished the cockpit most of the problem were caused by the instrument panel due to it's poor fit with little in the the way to locate it. The other problem was trying to mount the seat securely to the bulkhead, The cement joint failed so I will need to reinforce the pins next time round, Fuselage went together quite well, Mr surfacer 500 on the nose and dog kennel. Wings were added, I didn't quite line up the wing joint, but that was due to me concentrating on getting the front of wing joint aligned and failing to notice the misalignment until I looked at the photo. The tailplane went on with a good push. Closed the wing to cowling when the wing joint was dry There is a small step between the rear fuselage and the wing, next time I'll glue this joint separately, a little pressure on the rear fuselage while the glue dries would get a smoother joint.
  10. I may be able to live with it as doubt it will be very visible under closed canopy - the next one will be open so I will try a bit of paint. I agree it is probably over kill - I'm mainly doing it to to see if I can improve my technique, most of the time I manage to CA the PE to myself rather than the kit - this time has been a lot better for some reason. I make sure I have a good read of the thread, the main issue is with the fiddly cockpit. The way I did has not worked brilliantly, I think next time I'll try adding the side wall framework first, followed by the rear bulkhead and seat - after that the sidewall PE should slot into place nicely and finally the instrument panel. The trouble with fitting the PE side walls first is that it is easy to for them to interfere with the rear bulkhead unless they are positioned correctly. I have the correct wheels for the boxing, but already fitted the wheels on the starter set - I've nearly finished that one over the weekend, but managed to delete the photos by mistake. I've completed it with the kit transfers as the Xtradecals have still not turned up.
  11. Once opened a tubes of caulk it has set solid the next time I have come to use, not that I really tried to keep it from setting as it's only a small % of the cost of decorating a room. I can keep PPP stored in a jar of water which so far has kept it workable.
  12. A result of messing with photo hosts, hopefully fixed now OK now Latest set back is a dollop of cement on the undersurface, while it is drying I started on of the Hurristory boxings, Annoyingly the side panels are blue/green rather than a grey/green and additionally the PE for document holder? on the is side panel is unpainted so would need paint matching. The instrument panel is a poor fit so I extended the fuselage cut out to accommodate it. I realise now I should have put the side panels on first as the starboard side one is a smidgen too far back.
  13. It is intriguing, but I doubt it is likely to be a chest rest as it is the wrong angle. The restored Blenheim Mk 1 has some sort of a mounting front left of the dicky seat, maybe a bomb sight was mounted there? Regards, Deryck
  14. Closed and open ARMA Hobby canopies look like this. I messed up the open canopy shot as it no longer fitted after I had filed the dog kennel to reduce its height and afterwards filled the canopy cut out. The open one is certainly a better fit as it is roughly .5 mm to short.
  15. Making a bit of a mess of the early one - maybe I should have started afresh, but will plough on regardless.
  16. The perils of having decided that it had to be a closed canopy, I didn't consider the open option - I'll just have to live with the scrappy cockpit that I was expecting to hide
  17. The open one is too wide, so is not a good fit. I will have another look, when I get a new battery for my micrometer I will check to see how they measure up.
  18. Well. I lost my modelling space and it all went into the garage - room now restored so I am back in business. Apart from the Hannants transfer sheet it seems to be all there, I have probably stashed it in a "safe" place - when it will turn up is anybody's guess. I thought I had misplaced the keelless Hurricane as well, but eventually remembered I had put it into the airing cupboard to dry out some filler on the nose! I managed to break one of the canopies, but I should be able to make an ARMA Hobby one fit after adjusting the dog kennel. I picked up Hurristory cheaply from Amazon so can raid a closed canopy from there.
  19. I don't suppose the OP is interested, but @Troy Smith said that the screenshot was from a movie available on youtube, while watching it I noticed that the unit code on the starboard side is further forward finishing under the cockpit (00:14-0019) instead of under the dog kennel which is where it is shown on ARMA's instructions.
  20. It's not mentioned on the cover, but it is in the July 2022 issue.
  21. Noticed they were using eng on the info so: https://www.eduard.com/out/media/distributors/leaflet/leaflet2022-11eng.pdf
  22. A quick google found this https://www.key.aero/forum/historic-aviation/123494-interesting-hurricane-photos "Form 1180 says No.289 Squadron. Accident happened on 2nd at 11:10 hrs on the ground at West Freugh. Aircraft on ground test jumped chocks and hit telegraph pole. Type given as Hurricane I. Accident Cat AC"
  23. Since it said IWM I had a search for the original. THE LAST OF THE FEW "Amateur film shot by Dick Labrum while serving with the Hong Kong Auxiliary Air Force (HKAAF) Film Unit, featuring the final flight of four Supermarine Spitfires of the HKAAF, including Spitfire F.24 VN485, now on display at the Imperial War Museum's Duxford site in Cambridgeshire."
  24. https://www.gov.uk/goods-sent-from-abroad/tax-and-duty No duty payable under £135 unless excise duty payable, which will not be the case for goods from Arma Hobby
  25. £135.00 is the point at which duty is charged, under this there is only the VAT to pay which can be done at checkout if the retailer chooses to process UK orders less that £135, Above £135 duty and VAT should be collected by the courier.
