Folding wings ? Brave man ! Best of luck D.

Many thanks ,Gents .Couldn't have wished for a more comprehensive answer ! Good Modelling Dave

Could you give me a guide as to the 'seat' red ? TIA Dave

Many thanks for the feedback Gents .Brilliant model , Brad , hope mine turns out to that standard . The red interior Ive always assumed is similar to the dark red patches over gun ports .Any thoughts & recommendations? Dave

Thats how my luck goes ! but thanks Chuck Dave

Hi All, I I've been lucky enough to have been gifted this kit . but it's a little out of my comfort zone .Can anyone recommend the direction of any "how to"s & refererence sources. TIA Dave.

That I'm sure is the case Giorgio ! Just forgive a senior moment of tongue-in-cheek sarcasm born out of wishful thinking ! Kind regards Dave

Have you ever wondered if any of the mainstream manufacturers follow these e-bay follies and then gain inspiration as to which direction their next releases should lead ? Dave.

Many thanks for posting ,JB, thoroughly enjoyed it ! Dave

Thanks for the input guys .Couldn't find much on the interweb so will use some artistic licence .I will one day try some of that kevlar decal but on this project have passed the point of no return ! Cheers Dave

Hi All I'm finishing a project started (many!!) years ago namely a Tamiya Newman-Haas Lola T93 but am unsure of the colour inside/underneath the engine covers . No colour is called out but I suspect the should be s/g black and not left white .Any opinions most welcome. TIA Dave

Many thanks for the info. Glad I'm not the only one a bit confused ! I remember a reference to Dockerblaze Orange in a Modeldecal sheet years ago but is there a model paint match available today ? TIA Dave

Hi All, Many thanks Don, for raising the subject of the GA11.This is one on my "to do " list and was intending to finish the model as one of the Rough Diamonds aero team. Problem is the dayglo is described orange or red ,depending on the research source .Any opinions will be most welcome. TIA Dave

Those were the days......... Cheers D

Many thanks for your thoughts and I thought this may be the case .It's like you've been doing something the same way for years then ask 'How do I know this is right ? ' Wonderful hobby this...... D

Hi All, Could anyone please refresh my memory (Not that I ever really knew before , you understand !) what yellow was applied to leading edges ,particularly the Tempest. My prefererence is for the Xtracolour range . TIA Dave

Any chance of this in 48th. ? With TFC's P-47G joining the airshow circuit this season intrest in the 'Jug' should be on the way up! D

Thanks for the heads-up and the link ,Troy Many thanks D.

Just maybe some films are better off not being remade .I suspect the Dambusters will be one Leave it alone ,these movies are part of history as the event itself

Thanks Guys.......SFTB it is ! Regards D

Hi All Just a word of advice please .Can you recommend the decals from the kit , or is it best to source them elsewhere. I usually use Xtracolour range of paints. T.I.A

Always loved the Hudson , and quite fancied the CA example, but having followed your posts I reckon I've saved myself £50 !!!Now I can chase down my long wanted Tamiya Lotus 49 ! D.

Hi All. I have an Airfix Lightning in the stash which I'm contemplating a NM finish using the Alclad system (which ,to be honest , I've never used before ). Can anyone point me to an idiots guide of which/how colours to use ? Many Thanks Dave

Thanks again Giorgio .Maybe one of the decal companies could produce a sheet "Odd Ball Eighteens " .A generally neglected mark , but as we have seen there are many one-off variations .Wishful thinking I know, but could be very intresting , Regards Dave
