A very interesting choice. Are you going for the colourful scheme?

Great choices Paul 👍
I'm sorry, but every time I see the title of your thread it takes me back to when I left school (half a century ago).
My best mate had moved away to start work in 'Feltham' and we found the name hilarious (it was the time of Benny Hill etc.), particularly as it was next door to 'Staines'. The fact that you're building a 'pair' is just perfect too!
Cheers

An aircraft that I'd never heard of before John, but it ticks all the right boxes

Any idea what's good to stick plaster to things, and things to plaster?.. Pva maybe ?
I've never done it, but would agree that PVA would be worth a try - it certainly works well on porous paper.

This is fantastic Jeroen and, as you say, 'something different'

A nice choice David. I've built this kit from its Classic Plane boxing and it turned out OK (albeit a little 'clumsy', as you say). I'm sure that your Franco-Polish markings will add some extra pizzaz though

It's nice to see this one under way Peter (and I'm glad to hear that you found the decal sheet ).

Where would we be without filler?
Good luck with sorting out the issues.

C-47 Dakota
Well, you wait months for a C-47 to turn up and then two come along together (and they're both called 'Kwicherbichen').
Mine is the 1/200 scale Hasegawa offering made OOB (although I painted the stripes on, rather than the using the creamy white decals).
Here's a link to my build thread.

Finished at last and photographed alongside the mandatory Humbrol tinlet for scale
This 233 Squadron aircraft was christened 'Kwicherbichen' by it's crew - I spent ages looking for the translation
Thanks again to James and V-P for hosting this mega event and to all of you who've supported this build.
Cheers

Uh-oh... I better not count them, then
7 hours ago, reini said:The kit don't have any interior - but it still has clear parts.
Would you...
a) ... paint all the clear parts black from the inside
b) ... paint all of the interior black
... or something else?
I've never tried a), but b) seems to work OK for me.

So final check, Vulcan XH558 was built in 1960 as the first B2, was converted to a SR2 in 1973 then a K2 in 1982 and then back to a B2 in 1985. I want to do its as it flew again as a B2 in 2007, Can I?
Hi Stu. Yes that would be fine (now I know what you're talking about ).

A fantastic choice . I built one many years ago - hassle free IIRC, although I seem to recall there being an issue with the cockpit glazing (too few panes?).
Enjoy!

This is looking really nice John. Are the speedo and rev counter aftermarket decals?
