I uploaded photos yesterday to a thread I began in 2021. I'm doing RAF E3 and a Joint Rivet. Oddly the thread seems to of erm gone. My additions are coming from flight path, combat conversions and Brengunn

I want one half as good as that.....

Have you had a look on Mig AMMO they have some useful free conversion charts?

Brassmasters?

CV22 Here - Newish to the area still looking for those "local" modelshop gems. Northampton Model shop is my favorite.

I won an auction for a KC135 from a site in the USA, As soon as I won the fee to be paid increased in excess of the advertised international costs as with the postage. Sent payment for two sales direct from my bank, this one after an hour said it was "pending" the money left my account. A few cranky messages to fro the seller all blaming me! After two weeks of being asked to pay for the item by the vendor and messages to ebay who could see the item was paid for the vendor cancelled the sale saying I requested the sale cancelled! oddly I messaged the vendor saying I did want the item but had a very earthy reply which suggested I could go away.

I bought a cordless one from the USA on a holiday and found it very useful for cutting metals 90% of the time I use cutting discs in it

https://www.irwellpress.com/ also have a few nice publications on the subject

https://www.billhudsontransportbooks.co.uk/bhtb/bh11660/a-detailed-history-of-the-stanier-class-five-4-6-0s/ another worth a look

Has anyone used this UV glue yet? I came across it in a blog and thought ....that looks useful? Has anyone found a specific use for it in their modelling?

Thats Convinced me.....next order to Hannants this book is on it

In last few weeks I thought as a retunree OHHHH a Heller Boeing 707 in my new local model shop...bargain Thinking I could buy bits or make them to do a E3....hours later an E3 was found cheaper than the 707.. Flighpath also had some of my money too for their E3 etches, great looking details Then Combat models excellent conversion sets, thinking details for the E3 and could use the 707 for a joint rivet!!!! well I am new ish here. Next up and arriving yesterday a NKC-135 laser lab to enable a RAF joint rivet to form an ordered queue. Oh and throw in some MIG AMMO solution boxes and associated sets... Oh and some very fine Brengun 707 etches! Probably a few other bits missed too but not trying to show off, the dangers of buying a big box!

hahttps://wildswanbooks.co.uk/Books/Mixed-Traffic-Black5-Profile5-Sup.htm Have a look at these! great books and very well researched I think the class has three volumes overall.

I had ordered the flighpath etch fro the RAF variants and it contains some nice touches, I would add a pic but I am struggling to upload any here.. The etch has new doors aerials new finer details.... I am happy with it, just waiting on the Brengun ones now and to see what is worth adding!

Might be able to help with chinook images. I was abke to attend Shawbury family day a few years ago and had a chance to go in that years display machine
