Its a real fundamental part of the kit too, the biggest issue for me is they are all wrongly orientated, so the screws are all vertical and the joints they represent should be horizontal. The metal parts are also commendably thin which makes them tricky to drill without a jig,
I would say tha meng have the wishbone orientation correct as the Mclaren in the photo above appears to have spherical joints at the ends and on the wheel uprights.
There was very little movement at the piviot point.

Now then, not strictly a bona fide spot of the day except "Spot on fbook", but this came up on my pages and I'm wondering what.....?!
Erm, late 50s perhaps?
I immediately thought Velocette LE but that doesn't seem to be the case. The front forks look Ariel. Did they do a scootery type commuting thing?
What is the BM verdict?
It is an Ariel Leader, an attempt at an commuter motorcycle for the user to wear the miniumin of motorcycle clothing. They came out in 1958/59 and the engine was a 250cc two stroke twin running on petrol/oil mix. They also could be fitted with panniers that enclosed the rear wheel on both sides. There was also the Ariel Arrow which had all the fairing legshields etc removed.

I was told I can buy what I need from their eBay shop.
Yes, £52.61 for one engine plus 12.75 shipping plus approx £15/16 import duty. 2 of these and you could buy a 2nd kit. 24 been sold on ebay and must admit it it looks good in the pics, but price?

I doubt anyone on here would know that without them contacting KFS, why not drop them an e-mail?
KFS would seem to be going on as the address has changed to a Brum address and they talking are about new products with the assistance of the orginial owner.

8:00 am: I made a snowman.
8:10 - A feminist passed by and asked me why I didn't make a snow woman.
8:15 - So, I made a snow woman.
8:17 - My feminist neighbour complained about the snow woman's voluptuous chest saying it objectified snow women everywhere.
8:20 - The gay couple living nearby threw a hissy fit and moaned it could have been two snow men instead.
8:22 - The transgender man..women...person asked why I didn't just make one snow person with detachable parts.
8:25 - The vegans at the end of the lane complained about the carrot nose, as veggies are food and not to decorate snow figures with.
8:28 - I was being called a racist because the snow couple is white.
8:31 - The Muslim gent across the road demanded the snow woman wear a burqa.
8:40 - The Police arrived saying someone had been offended
8:42 - The feminist neighbor complained again that the broomstick of the snow woman needed to be removed because it depicted women in a domestic role.
8:43 - The council equality officer arrived and threatened me with eviction.
8:45 - TV news crew from ABC showed up. I was asked if I know the difference between snowmen and snow-women? I replied "Snowballs" and am now called a sexist.
9:00 - I was on the News as a suspected terrorist, racist, homophobe sensibility offender, bent on stirring up trouble during difficult weather.
9:10 - I was asked if I have any accomplices. My children were taken by social services.
9:29 - Far left protesters offended by everything marched down the street demanding for me to be beheaded
Moral:
There is no moral to this story. It's where we are
It is very much where we are sadly but where the hell will we all finish up.

I lodged in Barnstable (Newport) when I was at North Devon Tech 60/61. The Southern Region branch line ran from Barnstable through Braunton, Mortehoe, Woolacombe and on to Ilfracombe. The Barnstable to Lynton I think had a station near main one but it went from there North eastwards across the town through Pilton and then out roughly NE to Lynton twisting it's way across the countyside. Southern closed in it 1935 and it was auctioned off shortly after. The gauge was 1' 11 and a 1/2" (just under 600mm) so was very narrow gauge. There was yard/maintenance/ sidings in the Pilton area of Barnstable. The viaduct at Chelfhan is worth a good look at as it is a magnificent structure.

I can recommend to anyone not to bother signing up with Together Energy. In fact, run very fast in the other direction. Complete and utter bunch of incompetents. Worst decision we ever made to go with them.
I would agree 100% with you, just totally useless and incapable. I still cant get a refund from them.

Thanks for the reply, the ocd part I hadn’t considered. I’m not sure how by having a smart meter I’m contributing to the companies profit seeing as it was installed free, and I’m actually using less of their product. 😂
It was not installed free, you and everybody else pays for the cost in their bills as with the cost of going green with wind turbines etc. The companies no longer employ an army of meter readers etc which must be a big saving but, I have not seen any savings passed on to the customer. Also from what I understand alot of these meters for various reasons do not work as required and some have shut the supply off or even caught fire.

The Tamiya Phantoms are not perfect by any means, but I suspect that most people who buy the Revell Phantom will not be aware or care of it short comings and will build it as it comes out of the box and enjoy it. That list of corrections has been around for sometime and is nothing new and some of it really picky. As a matter of interest I have several of both makes as well as the old 1/32 Revell Phantom made in to late 60's which some people back then made into reasonable example which is what modelling is all about? There are several on ebay at the moment and are priced at more than some of the Tamiya ones.

Pity they did not take more care with decal sheet as the navigators christian name is Nigel not Angel! Its correct on the box.

Magnifier is an offshoot of Trumpeter I think, the kit has no reference to Ford or GT40 to avoid paying royalities to Ford.
-
Creative Models have these in stock for £59.99 at the moment.
-
Is anyone working on or anyone have available any corrections for the first kit?
-
What you need to look at is the sold prices, as they may be asking these prices but these things just go round and round usually and are never sold. I have seen some kits up for sale for 4-5 yrs and not selling at the stupid prices asked, but sometimes someone may pay it.

The HB hawk is oversize over the wing span approx 10mm and gives the appearane of being generally biggger than 1/48, and the Sea Vixen has a lot of silly problems, and the Tornado has a number of faults. Stick with Airfix or Italeri for the Hawk and Revell for the Tornado, not an easy build.
