  1. The T.O. for the gear bays is Alu or light grey, however green chromate is present on ours, with alu legs. Bear in mind ours has been repainted to represent a Thunderbird a/c. As for primers.... the vertical stab of our example is painted internally in 2 shades of ZC yellow, and 2 shades of Chromate green. 4 separate coats over time. I'm trying to find the photo.
  2. Cheaper than locking wire.
  3. I stand corrected. Mine is the Baku Toys issue. If I felt truly masochistic, I have a 1/16 Vauxhall Victor FB Estate from the Donetsk toy factory, and a Mk 1 Cortina which is being converted to a 2 door, from the same source. But I have other priorities.
  4. The Twin Mustang didn't make it to Novo. My example is entirely in Russian, and no decals or paint guide. Just a roughly stapled plastic bag.
  5. I have a Trumpy 1/32 MiG 15 in a FROG box, and I have seen other kits boxed as such.
  6. Also seen Trumpy stuff released under the FROG label.
  7. Use the tip of a scalpel, then pointed tweezers. Never had a problem.
  8. Perhaps the Bloodhound could be jammed by the Rotodyne's tip jet frequency.
  9. And the engineers no longer lead the programme, the bean counters do.
  10. IIRC the fuselage halves were of different thicknesses, the transparencies were not the best, and it was tooled by Harland & Wolff.
  11. There was some competition between manufacturers and retailers a few years back. Retailers started producing their own products, sometimes in direct conflict with similar items offered. I believe Rails of Sheffield also got in on the act. The biggest market a few years back for model railways was the Saudi peninsula. I don't know if that is still the case. Perhaps Hattons have seen the light with the amount of second hand collections being bought in, looked at the figures and decided that the future is not viable.
  12. My thoughts to re guns. Probably done for the cameras.
  13. Airworthiness Directive. Check it and fix it or else!
  14. Still have a 1/24 D model in the stash.
  15. The wings were attached with press in pins. All airframes were subject to an A.D. about 45 years ago. Owners expected corrosion problems, but they just pressed clean out. Testament to the quality Boeing used to be known for.
  16. I'm gonna need a bigger mouse.
  17. Don't know about the new release, but I built one from the last issue. I had no problem with the glazing, KV Models do a mask set.
  18. Nice maroon TR-3 on a transporter on thursday last.
  19. I have it on dubious authority Ipswich will be in attendance.
  20. 1/48 Stirling, or Hampden....or both.
