the detail looks crisp and fit not too bad but with any kits sometimes there is a bit of work on them

What was the price of that rig?

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/252032533650?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Been eyeing this one but unsure of the quality and such but l think it is a good starter piece but then again l am no machinist

everyone has different references hence different interpretations of the same thing. Curse of the hobby. will follow this with interest.

l got their C version looking at me begging to be build. speaking of spitfires l have a little story here. My son is 4 and in junior kindergarten and his teacher told me one day she asked questions about their parents. My son piped up and said "My dad like Spitfires and Corsairs" she asked him what they were and he said " They are WW2 fighters" That's my boy!

Hard to judge from one sprue shot but seeing that the wings are molded separate a Navy version could be in the works. As stated the VSTOL may not be possible which is a shame as it is the more interesting one , to me anyways

Yes you do Bill or at least that is rumours l start Anyways l have seen this thread but just got to it as l been busy with the kids home this week from school ( back to school for them tomorrow ) so l just got caught up here. Nicely done Bill, workmanship at it's finest! I was going to kit bash the other Airfix FA2 Sea Harrier with the newer GR 1/3 fuselage at some point but FRS1 was a hard one to figure what is the best. From what l can see here the Fujimi and the ESCI kits are the better way to go for me. Meanwhile l am taking notes as always.

you snooze you lose! l was going to order a bunch of stuff this year as l held off last year for financial reasons but l guess l waited too long! Such is life

got one book on pdf. it is the original one but been searching for the second edition

been following the progress on these on Facebook. l am keen at getting the 1/48 decals. My wife is Filipino and l said l would do some Philippine Air Force aircraft. l do have the Sabredog for this and l do have a Peashooter too

this is coming along nicely Bill. like the marking choice too. Personally l like the one with the green nacelles

the cutaway is good but l need something that l can use to make bulkheads and framing with

Yesterday the wife went out to the local dollar store to find some Christmas decorations to flush out the living room. She came back with a Lindberg 1/32 Gee Bee racer.It was only $4 dollars she said. Talk about the steal of the week! Now l mainly do miltary aircraft but always wanted to do this one. The kit is pretty basic so l will detail it up to bring it up to snuff. Here lies the problem l need interior and structural details. Is there or do any of you gents have info? With all the info l have and l do have tons not one on this particular plane

4 Wing Cold Lake CF-188 Hornet Crash Shortly after 11 a.m. today Mountain Standard Time, a single-seat CF-188 Hornet from 4 Wing Cold Lake crashed inside the Cold Lake Air Weapons Range in Saskatchewan, not far from the Primrose Lake Evaluation Range. Tragically, the pilot did not survive. The name of the pilot will not be released at this time, pending notification of next of kin. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of our fallen member. A flight safety investigation will be conducted to determine the cause of the incident.

GET YOUR BUTT CRACKING ON THIS MISTER!

Thanks guys. Much appreciated

why back when l was a young lad my father bought me what was then a new mold Monogram 1/48 F-86 Sabre. Of course being a young lad l rush to put it together ( what was as you may expect for a boy) then later found a photograph of a RCAF bird which l had to do which of course again the work of a young lad. l lost the plane over the years but then one day an acquaintance of mine found one somewhere in the same vintage box as my original and gave it to me. It was almost complete missing only the ejection seat and the decals had seen better days. l wanted to build this out of the box as much as l can like l did with the original but l had to get a ejection seat from Quick boost and decals from leading edge to get the RCAF plane l wanted. l also used Airscale instrument decals in the cockpit. Seeing it was not for show but just for myself l was not worried too much but l did build it to the same standards as l usually do The leading edge decals fought me all the way. Despite a gloss decaling finish l put down they would not behave properly even with a switch of decal setting solutions. But l am happy with it as it is only going to get put into some sort of case and mounted on the wall like a picture. hope you enjoy it

The landing gear will work on a Sea Fury too! Who is selling these babies?

Yet l have seen it built in the flesh and it seems to look like a Fortress but who am l to know ? I am just a guy who actually builds kits cough,cough........did l say that out loud

l got one sitting in the stash. looked at it and yep looks like a B-17G with stagger waist gunner positions......end of story and quit being picky

Too bad those kits of WW2 Italian fignters are no longer available. Watch this with interest
