    Why am I only just finding out about The Sandbaggers.

  2. Procopius

    Why every strut on a biplane kit has to be a separate part, I'll never $^#^ing know.

    1. jenko

      jenko

      Because biplanes like to strut their stuff.

      To make the rigging seem less complicated

      Even if they aren't, it isn't any easier :(

    Wife is out of town, and in my loneliness I contemplate starting a build thread.

      Yes another one of your build odysseys please. Any thoughts as to the subject matter?

      Well, I have this Beaufighter kit...

      Brad - Pizza is the perfect food and can be eaten for any meal. However, I'm trying to lose weight, which leaves me in a bit of a pickle.

      Tomoshenko

      Oh yes I would like to see that. Beer, pizza and a Beaufighter...I can't wait for the Airfix release.

    Will trade human baby for 1/72 Spitfire kit

      Five?! You do know what causes it, right? Buy a TV.

    Winston Thomas is eight pounds and two ounces, and looks like a garden gnome.

      Late as usual Hullo Winston T, congratulations Mel and PC!

  6. Procopius

    Working on an F-J(UK) and an FG.1. Worried these modeldecal decals may not be up to the job...

  7. Procopius

    Would anyone going to Telford like to grab an MB5 for me?

      ..someone's released an MB5 ?

    3. Procopius

      Procopius

      AZ Models are, in 1/72!

    4. FalkeEins

      FalkeEins

      ..an injected MB 5 ..wow!

  8. Procopius

    Wow, the AZ Model Fw 190D-11 and D-13 sold out fast.

      I thought it was resin but I can have a look later....

      Not surprising really. It was the most beautiful single seater in the ETO.

    4. Procopius

      Procopius

      That's crazy talk, Darbs. Not only is the Fw 190 as ugly as a dog's butthole, but the Fw 190D in particular looks like it was built out of spare car parts.

  9. Procopius

    Wow, there's not a lot out there for 1/72 Mosquito decals

    1. Pat C

      Pat C

      Almost nothing for B(IV), a little more for fighter variants I have found

    2. Procopius

      Procopius

      Yes, very frustrating, as I'm trying to find some for a B.IV. I suppose the expense/scarcity of the Tamiya kit is the reason.

      I've just been delivered xtradecals XO39-72 with markings for an FB VI: HR241 TH*M if you'd like them. I plan on using the kit versions for my trio.

  10. Procopius

    Wrestling with AZ's Spitfire 21, probably the best in scale aside from its overly thick wings.

      HB? Not following, I'm afraid, I was dropped a lot as a kid.

      Oops, sorry, Special Hobby, it's me age.....

    4. Procopius

      Procopius

      Yes, definitely.

  11. Procopius

    Yeesh, Australia, wish you'd warned me about Season 2 of Danger 5.

    1. caszerino

      caszerino

      LOL! Ain't seen it at all yet, but now it's definitely on the list.

  12. Procopius

    You guys really have a wonderful country, you know that? Anyone says different, you have my permission to go at 'em, eyes screwed shut, arms windmilling.

    1. Sgt.Squarehead

      Sgt.Squarehead

      Yes, yes we do!

      A sneaky hook or uppercut delivered behind a sharp jab is a rather more effective technique though.

      I drove from Lincolnshire back home to NE Scotland yesterday and have to say that I found myself commenting on all the beautiful countryside that I was driving through.

  13. Procopius

    You really do have the most beautiful flag, you know.

      Probably my second-favourite scene in the film. (The first is "Be on the lookout for a friendly wing on your starboard side.")

      Virtual cigar each for you two.
