Looks like they've dropped a Canadian marking option. Still a reasonable choice though.

Unusual subjects, and very nicely done. Unfortunately, I'm not seeing the WIP pics in post 5, just a "no entry" sign.

That's very well done. I've never used craft acrylics, but I rather like Vallejo metallic acrylics; a reasonable finish with none of the smell of Alclad, andf you can use Tamiya gloss black as a primer.

For CDL I've recently discovered Gunze Mr Hobby Aqueous H318 "Radome". It can be mixed with white to vary the shade as required, but here it is, with a lightened mix on the ribs and the "straight" colour on than main part of the wing. That's a WNW RE.8 btw.

Talking of UV light and sun-fading, here's a challenge for those who like weathering. http://pembrokeshire-pictures.co.uk/raf/image_page.php?p=aden_hawker_hunter_t7_xf321

How did I miss this one? Looks very good. If it's not too late, and if you weren't already aware of it, this book tells the story of R-Robert and the crews who flew it. I did a review recently which should probably be in the next SAMI.

Nicely done.

The incident is also related by Flt Lt Pollock in Hunter Boys - it's a while since I read this, but it's the article word-for-word or expanded a bit. [Edit] Just reread the book chapter, and my memory's obviously getting "older:" it's not a verbatim copy. Both article and book chapter are complementary. My apologies if I've misled anyone.

Nicely done. I'm doing one at the moment, it's certainly one of Airfix's better efforts, even with a short-shot headbox on one of the seats on my example. Did you have any issues fitting the wings? I had a bit of trouble with the leading edge root of the staboard wing, but it may have been me.

Very colourful, and nicely done.

Nice. Gotta love a Liberator.

Silver undersides on a FAA aircraft of that period?? White serials on silver undersides on any British military aircraft of that (or any) period??? Callsign Whisky Tango Foxtrot I think.

Now showing in Hannants "Future Releases" at £62.99 https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/TU05808 I'll pass.

Ooh, yes, think what could be done based on a a Hart. There's potential for plenty of kits right there: Demon, Audax, Hind, etc. Also can we add a Siskin to the above? True, but one doesn't want to be too greedy.

Avro 504 in three boxings: a J/K, a post-war N and a fighter variant. Ah well, one can dream ...
