  1. Fresh baguette, butter and smoked back bacon. Heaven. And leave the condiments in the cupboard.

    Soooo.......

    Our wedding day was one week before my late wife's birthday. It made March a very expensive month, always with two presents to buy.
  3. To quote the late Frank Carson, every morning when I wake up I stretch my arms. If they don't hit the side of a coffin, it's going to be a good day.
  4. This conversion was for an HP Halifax C.VIII, very similar but not identical to an HP Halton, but probably an easier conversion (uses bomber clear nose and no fuselage windows to be added).
  5. I think you'll have to start building the stash, as will we all.
  6. Only if re-engined with a jet engine.πŸ˜€ Only if re-engined with a jet engine.πŸ˜€ Only if re-engined with a jet engine.πŸ˜€
  7. Time to visit a medium and try to contact Edgar? I miss his Spitfire knowledge.
  8. The issue of Scale Aircraft Modelling was Volume 5, Issue 9 (June 1983).
  9. That was my intention, but as long as people have fun with the topic, all's good.
  10. I seem to recall the fuselage is the wrong length on this kit, and is pretty well unfixable.
  11. I was just thinking about how long aircraft serve for these days. F-14. First flight 21 December 1970. Still in service with IRIAF. 53 years. F-15. First flight 27 July 1972. Still in service with various air forces and still in production. 51 years. F-16. First flight 20 January 1974. Still in service with various air forces and still in production. 50 years. I can think of others but will leave it to my fellow Britmodellers to supply the facts. Have fun. (I bet the DC-3/C-47 holds the overall record for any type, prop or jet).
  12. I think that equates to 18" in old money.
  13. Hello Keith. Like Mark I have looked in both books & magazines, also on the internet, and it looks like you can have the canopy open or the fan lift doors open but not both. Nigel
  14. In 1/72. Orange Hobby made (or make) a kit of the F-35C. I bought one a couple of years ago but had to buy it from BNA Models on Australia as it was a choice of buying it from there or China.
  15. Moulds don't normally get shipped around as they are big heavy blocks of metal. What normally happens is that a company will order so many thousand sets of mouldings which are moulded by the company who own the moulds. These are bagged and shipped to the customer who adds instructions and decals then boxes them as their own product.
