Klear worked for me when I put the armoured glass on to a Trumpy 1/24 Spitfire windscreen.I gave it a week to sort itself out properly,it was quite happy when masking was removed and still is now.

Which one of you was on strike?

I made a mess of the paint job but the decals weren't a problem.I had no snags with them folding up or crumpling into an unuseable ball,to be fair I've never had difficulties with Hobbyboss decals but maybe it's because I'm always careful in handling and don't try to do it all in one go. I'm tempted to build this kit again in the GB so you might have two for the price of one.

I did,here.I have to say I do like the look of yours. .

G'day Chums,it's been a bit on the quiet side at this end.The first off the line was the 1/48th Airfix Spitfire XVI built in the Prototypes,Racers and Special Schemes GB,build thread here . While that was on the go I managed to finish a 1/48th Tamiya Meteor III in the Meteor STGB,build thread here . There wasn't an RFI thread for this 1/76 Matchbox M9 trailer from their Diamond T kit that came my way instead of going in the bin,I didn't think it was worth it. In April I stepped out of my comfort zone by starting a 1/600th Airfix HMS Belfast which,without the encouragement and understanding of some splendid chums,would likely not have been finished at the end of July,build thread here . While that was on the go for a bit of light relief yet another 1/72nd Hobbyboss Wildcat crossed the bench,RFI thread here . I fell off the Halftracks GB,there's just too much to do to the 1/35th Tamiya SdKfz 251 to make it properly convincing,the build thread is here . Since then a couple of 1/72nd aircraft have taken their places on the bench but work and real life have conspired to not let me turn a thing since mid August which is very frustrating.Next years GB schedule looks very alluring,it'll be difficult not to overcommit. My thanks once again go to all who chipped in and encouraged and to Mike and the mod team without whom we wouldn't have anywhere to play. Cheers all,have a good'un.

You're probably ahead of me but if you are closing the flaps the two sticky outy bits above them on the wing upper should be removed They are the covers for the flap linkages which open when the flaps are lowered. She's looking very tidy so far old fruit.

This appears to be airframe specific,these two photos seem to show two different sorts of wheelbay and cannon fairings. She's looking good so far Simon,keep up the good work.

Thanks @pigsty . @BillF67,your turn in the barrel.

OOOH! Giampiero has got it spot on but I'd like to let Bill have a run at it for being so close with a rough translation. @pigsty adjudication?

Thanks Matthew,I read it in Aeroplane Magazine many moons ago. Here goes,what does SEPECAT stand for?

Imperial Airways,who used ploughed tracks across various bits of desert to aid navigation between destinations for the HP 42 routes.

Have no qualms about waving that one off old fruit it's a tricky beastie,I've built a 46 too https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234946717-airfix-seafire-fr46-in-148th-scalefinished/ .

I rebuilt one of these in the Korean War GB a while back,https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234959624-airfix-seafire-fr47-in-148th-scalefinished/ . Good luck with your build,it's a lovely boxful.

What word begins with the letter N,ends with the letter N,has the middle letter N and is the expression of constipation? NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

I built one of these back in the early '90's,I seem to remember it going together really easily.

If it doesn't go ahead I s'pose we could all build one of these Photo from here http://www.jotus.com/

Oddly enough I've been told this one as well.Given that 6 were in Palestine in 1938 and went from there to Egypt in 1940 I doubt the veracity of that rumour.

Decide what floats your boat...

There you go @trickyrich all that bloodshed isn't Enzos fault

More's to the point have you voted and if so how did you vote for them all?

Sorry you missed it old fruit,just for you .

All yours Giampiero

That I'd never have known. The Thruxton Jackaroo was based on which prewar aircraft?

I'm going to say Vickers Valiant but I don't understand the soup bit.
