Col.

Hmm, did have a couple of sheets laid past but it's a few years ago now since I got them so don't know if there were many Jags covered. Let me have a look when I get home and I'll let you know

If we keep this thread going I won't need to Do you have a shelf strong enough to take the weight of a 48th scale XF-10F-1 shaped chunk of resin!?! Possibly something to do with the shrinkage of larger resin components? Neil, keep me right here please. Looks as if you're our first confirmed participant Daz. With any luck Airfix will release a new pressing of their 48th kit by then. Dunno how available they are just now?

Cheers Martin, guess the brain still works. To a certain extent.

Given the 'soapy frog' discussion going on in another thread this could be a rather loaded question Rowan Ahem, sorry. Nice work there Jon, very colourful.

Other than being an incredibly ugly chunk of a thing (as most US stuff is in my opinion) I think it also served as a research vehicle for the variable geometry wing concept. Have a vague feeling there was a short-run kit of it on the go some years ago but don't know who produced it. If anyone. Maybe my memory is playing tricks again.

That answer your question mate?

At last, a sensible suggestion. I was down to moderate a Fleet Air Arm GB on ARC in October but now I feel a bit of mixed emotions.

Well Jake, I said it on ARC and I'll repeat it here. Your work is stunning and inspirational. Glad to see you've decided to bring it across with you.

Is that the standard kit items from the Tamiya 32nd scale Zero Zeke? Nice work wherever they came from.

Given that Revell could punt out a 32nd Hunter for less than half that I fail to understand why so much stuff is made in China to cut costs

Given this kit has been due for quite some time I think there should be a few sheets imminent. Shame about the spelling mistake, seems to be becoming a bit of a habit with them.

Aye come on Mike, keep up man

Hey Phil, go post some photos of a crap model so we can see you're actually human! I'm getting exhausted looking at all the stunning work you do

Ooooh, that's nice! Looks very realistic with the restrained weathering.

Mate, even in 32nd a Me-163 is still f*(£ing tiny! As for the other three, I can only aplaud your impecable taste in aircraft

Glad to hear this one hasn't died. Good luck with the repairs.

Keep up the good work mate, she's looking stunning there so far

Nice work so far Mike. Hey, now you've got a bigger cutting mat you had add some large-scale projects to the stash

Only three on the go!?! Are you slowing down or something mate

The guys, oops, and girl Jen, have said it all already but I just want to add to the chorus. Damn fine work Neil.

Let me give you a more accurate depiction of the potential conversation: Me: "Hello lass, how's yo..." Fiona: "What the F*@£ is that!" Me: "Err, it's only a little..." Fiona: "You've been spending more f*@£ing money on f*@£ing model kits!" Me: But Mike said it would be..." Fiona: Oh, well that makes it OK then does it!?" Me: "Ouch!" Fiona: "Well, does it!?" Me: "Oww! But listen..Ouch! Don't..agh! Oww!" Can you see where this is going? Tell you mate, it's a tall tree in our garden

Damn that looks nice! Always liked the Molins-equiped Mossie and this isn't helping me resist buying the kit and conversion.

From what you describe I think the cooler air temperature is the root of your problems Uggywuggy. If you are spraying in a low enough temperature condensation can form in the paint and spoil the finish, although this is my experience from using spray-guns in open workshops I would think the same principle would hold true for a smaller airbrush. Is there any way you can bring a small heater into your celler to pre-warm the room before you start?

That's some construction work in there John! The louvres may have tested your patience but look well worth the effort.

Bloody hell man, where do you find the time!?! Guess the Mossie is a Paragon conversion? Looking forward to seeing her progress.
