  1. Oh dear, that means if there was a Stingray 15 it had a pen with the same number...
  2. If you are really brave, there is the Revell/MPM
  3. Very nice. I am working on a 1/35 kit and it is tiny, this must have been a real challenge.
  4. Nice build. Looks like 1946 German Design.
  5. Here's one. I don't particularly like the Jaguar and can't understand why it is so popular or why there was such an obsessive demand for a new 1/48 kit. And the F16 and F18 don't do anything for me either and there seem to be far too many kits of them.
  6. Nicely done. I tried a Revell rebox of this a few years back and it flew in to the bin, I just got frustrated by the soft mouldings and endless filler. Nostalgia aint what it used to be.
  7. Lovely build. If you hadn't mentioned the microsol reacting with the varnish I wouldn't have noticed, sometimes it is the "accidental" weathering that looks the most realistic.
  8. Stunning build of a beautiful aircraft.
  9. Possibly depends which version you originally saw. In 1991, the film had 23 minutes edited from the original added back in.
  10. Great progress. Are you going to go for the quartet and add a Beaufighter?
  11. I do like his early stuff - Day of the Jackal, Dogs of War, The Odessa File. His later stuff not so much.
  12. Very nice build of a beautiful aircraft.
  13. Or when SWMBO sees the bank statement and throws you out...
  14. They used to fly over the primary school with the Winchman sitting in the doorway. If you waved he would wave back.
  15. Very nice. Airfix have been very helpful in providing both the rebarrelled 7.62mm Bren (straight magazine) and the original .303 (curved magazine).
  16. now you're being obtuse
  17. Six times before breakfast
  18. Nice work there, and another unusual subject.
  19. Very nice. I remember building some of those Hasegawa kits when they came out. In all fairness produced from photos and without access to actual airframes they were pretty good.
  20. That is a very pretty SE5. Any plans to go back and rig it?
  21. Stunning build. Those "wooden" props are a work of art.
  22. Very nice, the days when the working man wore a flat cap and a tie. I will stir things up by asking if anyone can confirm the use of the three hole brick prior to 1941?
  23. I remember building a few car kits back in the day with chromed parts. Apart from the Tamia Lotus 7 that had obviously had some thought put in to it, you always got sprue attachments that required removal of a visible chunk of chrome. And because the plastic was being chromed, the sprue would be moulded with whatever spare plastic they had to hand, often bright primary colours with Monogram kits... And, canopies with separate frames (P51D Mustangs seem to be prime offenders) that leave you with a visible joint. And... badly defined wheel hubs where you cant tell where the tyre starts. And sorry, but I have never had a "working" suspension on a tank kit that worked and didn't need gluing so the wheels weren't wonky. And the colours used by Matchbox. 10 year old me is still traumatised by the number of brush painted coats of white it took to cover the red and dark grey on the HS125...
  24. Very nice indeed. Love the way you have replicated the powdery looking black paint.
  25. Nice engine. I built the Fujimi 1/48 kit and it came with a plastic cylinder with a tree trunk texture...
