A very belated 'thank you' to Mike and V-P for your comments Well I've finally got round to making a start on the T34. Wheels assembled along with the lower hull. I must admit that I don't really like tidying up 'round things' as they usually end up being less round then when I started..... These weren't too bad, although one idler wheel is poorly moulded (thankfully effecting only the back face). As V-P mentioned, the lower hull needs some fettling to get a good fit with the top. The little notches that I cut out at the top of where the glacis sits, seem to do the trick (thanks also to Sgt Squarehead for this tip ). More to follow soon. Cliff

There's obviously something in the air. I started my long overdue T34 today! Yours is looking good so far Blitz. Cliff

Looking super sharp Mish. Cliff

'The Odd Couple' personified. Good luck with home straight Adrian Cliff

Looking good Giorgio, I can see why you are pleased with the exhaust Cliff

Looking good Cliff

Very nice indeed Cliff

Thanks K I'd prefer the thread to stay in the GB please. I'll post some final pics in RFI when it is finished. Cheers Cliff

It's looking fantastic Dave and I'm glad to hear that you are 'back in the groove'. Cliff

It certainly is something a little different Enzo. A great addition to the GB! Cheers Cliff

Another nice one Enzo. Congratulations! Cliff

The camo is looking pretty dramatic Steve (which is good)! Cliff

Oh dear , it's the end of the GB and my S-61L looks like this I can make all sorts of excuses regarding what has happened over the last couple of weeks to prevent me from completing (all of which would be true), but the root problem was my spur-of-the-moment decision to do an unplanned second build in the Lesser Built Air Forces GB back in Feb...... So my apologies for not bringing this one in on time and congratulations to all of you who did . I will finish the S-61 in due course though and post some piccies in RFI. Big thanks to hgbn and Kwaterous for hosting the GB, and to Mish for making it all happen - without it, the bits for this S-61 would still be languishing at the back of my stash somewhere. Special thanks also to all of you who helped and encouraged me with the build. I feel that my education is complete now that I know what's kept in a Sea King's broom cupboard! Cliff

Congratulations on a very tidy build. A great addition to the GB Cheers Cliff

What a striking looking model Bosse. Top job! Cliff

That's a great colour match with the red Col. Cliff

That cockpit looks particularly nice Cliff

Cheers chockhead, I will be following your progress too Cliff

Unfortunately I've been away for a week or so, so missed the final stages of this build. A nice treat to come back to though Cheers Cliff

What a nice addition to the GB chockhead. It ticks all the boxes for me! Hope you have a great holiday! Cliff

Wow, that looks fantastic Cliff

Quite a challenge, I can see. Looking very good so far though. Roll on the paint! Cliff

Looking good Phil, the fuselage certainly benefits from having all that heavyweight surface detail removed Cliff

Congratulations Paul - those Austrian markings suit the Vampire really well (let's be honest, they look great on most aircraft!) Cheers Cliff

Particularly nice work on those canopy details chockhead Cliff
