Hi all I wish everyone good days. I have not posted for a while as have been plagued with NHS problems diagnosis and associated life daily struggles. Long story short I was diagnosed with cancer last Monday and had to make a massive decision to go for surgery and the plastic surgeon had a cancellation. This meant tests on Tuesday and surgery on Wednesday. I am pleased to say that the operation went well and despite a recovery of 6 weeks doing light duties (making models) I am recovering well. I will get my results on 23rd September as to whether the cancer is contained and am treating this as positive and it will be so I will be able to get some modelling done as can’t do much work outside or do too much that is classed as heavy work related. Great forum always helpful so no doubt I will be posting again soon.

Yes I requested the damaged parts 4 I think today I just wondered if it was something people were aware of an extra piece of strengthening to support on the sprue would avoid the issue perhaps

Hi all I just wanted to share some findings in my selection of Lancaster kits by Airfix not sure if this is the correct section so apologies. If it’s in the wrong section I have 4 kits of different livery and came across something. sprue C parts 3 to 6 bomb doors where there is a support spar. Out of 4 kits only one kit has all 4 parts intact. anybody seems like these parts need more protection. I tried to insert a picture but was unable to sorry

Hi David not so good I went through a similar thing with members of my family getting unwell and passing away and both my mother-in-law and father-in-law had dementia and eventually passed away. It can be a worrying time especially with your partner having a seizure hopefully the MRI will make some sense of why it happened and she can get some treatment. It sounds like you had a good time away in Denmark it’s good to get away sometimes. Take care and I hope it all works out.

Thanks for all the positive comments yes Fibro is one of those it takes ages to get diagnosed and you may not even have such a thing. May the hell cease and the modelling begin again.

Hi all I went to an open day last week for Fibromyalgia and associated help where I talked to a consultant about pain. She is the person in charge of all the pain clinics in my health region. I told her my story with pain sitting burning stinging going to the bathroom Urology had no clue. I was told I have nerve damage due to the operation on my prostate in 2013. A condition called Pudendal Neuralgia. I am now under this consultant who I have an appointment in March and further tests to help me with the pain PMP pain management program. This had a big impact on my mental health and wellbeing. I feel so much better knowing what is causing my pain and can now look forward to getting the help I need. I feel I can get down to doing some modelling again now my mood has lifted.

That’s great news sounds promising. I wish my GP was more help 🙂 things are pretty stretched here in our neck of the woods. Enjoy your holiday you deserve it

Thanks Mark

Hi Victor after seeing your images of your decals I decided to buy the same kit you mention so can use some of the left over decals in the kit. Thanks for pointing this out. I think I should be sorted. Thanks to all for the help mentioned.

No problem take your time

Yes please

Hi all asking the wealth of knowledge here as struggling to find what I am looking for “sorry if it in the wrong section” I damaged some decals for a 1/72 hawker hurricane mk1 so I thought why not just buy a selection of Battle of Britain 1/72 decals aftermarket. I found I could buy letters and roundels and make them up but was rather looking for a set with the components together. Being a newbie to this and bowing to the learned can someone explain how it works. I know you can buy lots of combinations. Can someone please help me out navigating the pros and cons. Thanks in advance.

Hi all thought I would tap in to the knowledge out there about a good primer that does not lift when airbrushing and is masked that does not lift top coat is primarily Vallejo Model air for airbrushing and Model Color if brushing.
