A tank transporter for a Comet in 1/72.
Lightningboy2000 replied to Lightningboy2000's topic in AFV WWII
Thanks echen, that's my alternate plan now. I've abandoned the idea of buying the GMU 1/72 tank transporter as I can't justify spending getting on for £50 for it. So if & when I get round to it, I'll source the Revell kit and an Airfix Cromwell to sit on the back. -
Convair B-58 Hustler-Monogram-1/48

Excellent work with the alclad and your results look really nice. Good to see another Hustler completed on here. Martin -
I can finally get to say that I've seen Cabaret Voltaire live. Got tickets to see these legendary industrialists in February next year in Norwich. These gigs are likely to be their last as well. The very same Chris Watson (on electronics) who's famous for recording wildlife for the BBC & David Attenborough.

Currently sitting here going through totting up our clubs end of year competition results & just listened to Pete Townshend's interview with Stephen Colbert. What a better track than to listen to this with the rain coming down outside.

DASSAULT MIRAGE IV A - A&A MODELS - 1/72
Lightningboy2000 replied to Tjac's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
This is a brilliant rendition of a definitely awful kit! (Sorry A&A if you're reading this!) This is why I recently completed my Heller kit. Your build shows up what a beauty the Mirage IV was. I have been told by the SIG leader I must finish mine and not to bin it! Hope mine one day will look as good as yours! Martin -
Thank you! Good to meet up for the Britmodeller group photo! I completely forgot about even fitting that pitot tube! I might get round to it.

Many thanks cpoud117! I will get back to the A&A kit one day. I will need to revive my sprue goop plastic filler mixture to give it a good gap filling! 😆

Excellent kit! 1/72 F-15E from GWH
Lightningboy2000 replied to The Shearwater's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
Everything is absolutely spot on with this build. Superb work! It has definitely been known for paint crew to apply those stars n bars the wrong way round on aircraft. A friend has just showed me a photo of a F-16 aggressor with an error. If you do want to correct it, it is possible. Also depends on how many final coats of matt you have applied afterwards. I just gently keep softening the area with water then gently lift the decal with a small brush. You just have to be patient and persistent with loads of water concentrated on just that spot. It always works for me. Could be various reasons why I might need to do it. Martin- 10 replies

I've just been listening to this as I've just read that Gilson Lavis drummer with Squeeze passed away on 5th November. 😥 One of many fantastic tracks by them, but especially loved this one.
