  1. Yes interested in this one!
  2. So did the Lysander MkII have a different cowling to other variants? Grahame
  3. Like to join this group build. Built many a Heller kit in my younger days. Always felt that they were quite good for their time. Regards Grahame
  4. Likw wise, I wanted to order some resin tracks for my Tamiya M8 for the current GB but as you say unable to order anything. It must be quite galling that you say that are closing down then suddenly everyone wants your products. I wanted to do a decent order. Hopefully they will reopen after the initial mad rush. Must be a few like you and I, Bigfoot.
  5. Awesome work! Full of admiration and your patience with that camouflage!
  6. Originally I thought that this was going to be a BoB specific GB, then I read through to find there were far more options! so I have dug out the old Hobbycraft Bf-109D that I had started a few years ago that I purchased from a Canadian modeler before postage went silly. Plus I had Cutting Edge Decals Bf-109D part 2 sheet and was planning on building "White 2" only to find that is from August 39. I am planning on Yellow N+11 from Norway in 1940. in a RLM 02/71/65 scheme. I have assembled the wings and cockpit but no paint. The kit is cleanly moulded and should be an easy build. Some photos. Thanks for looking, Grahame
  7. My first kit was Airfix`s Spitfire IX in a series 1 blister pack. I also remember the P-40E Kittyhawk and P-38 Lightning. I remember my first 1/48 kit being Monogram P-51B Mustang.... Regards Grahame
  8. I`m in this with this GB. Got a few memories to reminisce over.
  9. Great build of this true workhorse of the modern world. Always fancied having a go at this or the earlier CL-215 but never have done. Incidentally what is the best colour primer for a yellow scheme? Excellent stuff Grahame
  10. Cleaned up the joint at the rear of the wing and added the Vokes tropical filter and tail planes. The kit in the grand scheme of things has gone together remarkably well. Filler will be needed around the nose and filter and wing joints. Otherwise pretty good. Actually looking at the images it does quite a bit of filler! Grahame
  11. The cockpit has been installed in the fuselage which took some time waiting for the superglue to set, I did try Tamiya cement but wasnt strong enough. Fuselage assembled which was very good considering its age and wing added. left a gap at the rear join which has been filled with a shim of plastic card, Snapped off the delicate tailwheel which was annoying! Whether I do a Tropical or European Vb depends on the fit of the underchin parts! Tropical is preferable! Some photos and thanks for looking.
  12. Added a Eduard fabric harness to the seat and was a bit awkward to fit, possibly due to the thickness of the seat sides. Assembled the wing, requiring some filing and scraping the inside of the wing for a better fit. And as advided by @Troy Smith sprayed the rear of lower wing in aluminium to match the fuselage sides. Followed by AK Starship filth wash! Some photos.... Fuselage assembly next! Thanks for looking. Grahame
