perdu

Thanks for that Jeff As usual Hannants pulled out all the stops and my BSI 381 356 Rescue/Golden Yellow arrived in the post today with a set of decals for when I do my RN version in the future. Now I have to get back in the saddle, mine will be a while yet, interior to complete first. Bill

Do they make frisket film in A4 I wonder? I must Google it...

Wonderful aircraft the Nimmy I'm missing them already and haven't seen one for over twenty years in the "tin" This model is brilliant want want want This goes high on my YOUGOTTADOTHIS!!! list and yours is bound to top mine, outstanding! b

Jeff given that the basic model has... "issues" your modelling doesn't The finish is exemplary, I am hoping I get my HAR2 somewhere near as good as yours. Did you use Xtracolour or simply use Yellow from a basic manufacturers colour set/ I have just ordered Xtracolour but to be honest "I have ma doots" whether I should have waited... I am glad you carried on with it, every Wessex model made is, another fine helicopter thanks for sharing it with us, I enjoyed the WIP too

There is no finer colour scheme for "Fings Wot Fly" than Raspberry Ripple and the Tonka in Ripple looks just fabulous, well doen

Oi you! nofair I think we need to know (most of us are paying for the beastie after all ) please dear chap, enlighten us imagine the horrors if one were to "google it" The weapons, by the way? Simply sublime. W O W

I like the lamps Nobby, very nice When I did mine I moulded the lamp covers on the front of the leading edge, just to the outside of the actual lamp so the thickness of the acetate made up for moving it inboard to its position Guess what? Your one looks better, nice one mate I think I am enjoying this one more than the Shagbat, I haven't got round to doing that one yet

Dedication! It does you credit Dave, this looks better and bettererer Those doodahs above the engines, blimmin' intriguing aren't they, I wonder if they are some kind of yaw indicators? Anyway I am enjoying seeing you handle these resin pieces, I havent used any yet and I can see the need for such in my crystal ball... I'm keeping up with this all the way cheers

I'm sorry that happened, but sadly not surprised Since it buggered up my paint job on the Typhoon I built I have (mentally at least) relegated the stuff to small easily demarcated areas. I used it on the windows of my Wessex because I was scared (yup really) that Tamiya tape would pull them out of the fuselage when removed. I don't think I was wrong there either I had to brush paint the edges between the colours too and think I got away with it But on the brighter side, the undersides picture shows me a well painted model that mirrors the hard skillful work you have done on it I like what you have been achieving here, 558 is going to be a stunning model

looks good I hope the maskol lets the paint film separate cleanly when you take it off I hate using it because it usually flakes at the colour edges Tha last time I used it it took ages to sort the edges back to your model Isn't Vulcan just the most marvellous aircraft, I get excited just looking at those mighty delta wings. Your looks great.

I think I will borrow everyone else's WOW and AMAZING brilliant job of turning a "dream" into a beautiful model well done

yes that's me guys on PH first drew me to come in here and be amazed Like now, love this stuff to pieces

strewth it's looking good Love the wheels and u/c, they look great as do the visible crew members nice work

ohhhh golly! marvellous work

I love this and you won't (really won't) believe how blimmin' jealous I am It looks the bee''s kneeses thanks for sharing this one a huge W O W

dr_gn, you know this one is orance (Jeff)'s dont you? ): mine is still WIP on the interior waterproofing and seating Jeff really has a lovely finish on it, I am looking forwards to seeing her finished I'm just tracking down BSI 381 356 Golden Yellow for mine, 'spect Hannants do it

It's beautifully made but that RAF scheme looks so wrong on a HAS 3 but It looks beautiful nice well done we said it would be worth finishing didn't we edited to add That cockpit glazing looks the bizzz, nicely done

Oh boy that is lovely magnifico maestro

I'm no great believer in massive rivets I took them all off mine, so I am no one to judge. I just engraved some of the panel lines and surface features. I thought it was more realistic but a faint shadow of the rivets would help it live up to the "50 thousand rivets flying in close formation" I remember people saying about the magnificent Shack and would certainly not go amiss. Tell devilfish the decals weren't hard to make up when I did mine in '83 I wish I'd had that kit to help with the wings and u/c. If you want to see the one I did I'll pop a pic somewhere, it's in Cosford museum at the moment.

That'squite funny Nobby When I built my Tiffie I painted it with ancient Humbrol Authentics I rescued from the depths of a drawer in my study, I was coming back to the game after a twentyfiveyear "rest" And I had to fight off the countless spiders who'd become used to them sitting around I'm learning lots in here about using acrylics, 'cos I'm unused to them and I always prefer a good enamel coat on a model 'cos it seems to "paint" better than the posh new stuff. Old fashioned me? Er yup Like I said Nobby I am enjoying learning from you

Still on course Nobby, going to be another classic. Lovely doors too.

Rod you may not be sure if you like :) I can already see that I do. That looks beautiful, your work and your photography guarantee lots of people enjoying it with me too. F A B

I can only stand in awe, looking at your fantastic Hind and your brilliant modelling and photographic skills wow it is beautiful thanks for sharing it with us

I seem to remember Ed Macy saying they grabbed their personal weapons when dashing to their machines and I doubt the SA80 would be left in the cockpit when they were not aboard. I will be following you down this route too, for such an ugly beast they are truly charismatic for we idle observers aren't they? Yours is bookmarked in my head, good luck with it. Bill

This is beginning to look magnificent instead of merely epic all coming together well, I'm getting Vulcan urges again after so long since my last one nice doesn't quite describe it
