Might have been deleted by me a while back to save photos on my Flickr account. If you’re still interested, send me a PM with your email address and I’ll see what I can do a little later. Cheers.. Dave

Really lovely work and so nice to see a Shack modelled in typical flying attitude. Beautifully built, presented and photographed. Very well done. Cheers.. Dave

I did the same thing, however I’m sure that if either of our names (and more importantly) addresses got pulled out, they would just throw them out and do a redraw. Mind you, I only had to put in an email address, but the dot com dot au. ending might be an easy give-away.. Lets see what happens, but don’t hold your breath! Cheer#.. Dave.

I’ve got you covered William. Give me a few minutes and I’ll photograph and email them on. Cheers.. Dave

Appreciate the link Peter, I see that have the Blue, Natural Metal and Pink schemes listed (if still trading?). I wonder what their quality is like? Have you ever used them yourself? Cheers.. Dave

Good luck with this one Stu, I’ve got a Novo boxing stashed, just need a decent set of decals to give me the inspiration to build it. Nice win, Cheers.. Dave

That’s come up wonderfully well SD, it really does look proportionally all right, Thanks for posting and very well modelled. Cheer.. Dave

I’ve never posted within these ‘latest acquisition’ threads before, however thought this latest purchase was something to show. There’s a really lovely local chap who has an amazing collection of rare and OOP books and is slowly selling them off ‘warehouse style’. I’ve purchased quite a number of books in the past from him and this was last Saturday’s happy choices. I’ll be going back for more when the opportunity arises. Cheers.. Dave

Nice start Sam and I echo your thoughts about thick trailing edges on quite a few recent kits. The issue that I see with trimming them on the inside, is that you may have more issues later on when you attach the wings to the fuselage. I’m sure you can recover any misalignment that occurs, however the other way could be to assemble the parts as they come, then try to sand the trailing edges lightly to retain a good finish. Some rescribing may be in order, however not too much I would think. Either way I look forward to seeing your progress. I’ve not got one of these kits (as yet), as I have many other manufacturers Tempests still stashed. Cheers.. Dave

That graph is very impressive, nice and clear - I do like that. Good luck with your projected builds, we all have big ambitions but planning in advance always helps. Cheers.. Dave

Nice work @Kallisti, you’ve done a great job there. I won’t comment on the kits details per say, however having built the Airfix kit and studied many photographs in the process, there does seem to be a few odd bits as others have raised. You may have also forgotten to remove one paint mask front the front left corner of the canopy, so best remove that one. Cheers and well modelled.. Dave

Probably one of my favourite Anson schemes, that has just come out beautifully, very well done. I’m now interested in know more about your ‘larger aileron’ comments as I’m hoping to make an early RAAF Anson whenI finally get hold of one down here. Cheers.. Dave

Appreciate the nice comments Rob and good to see you back after such a long time away. Cheers.. Dave

Are we talking Bristol ‘Fighter’ or Bristol ‘Freighter’ there @Dave Fleming?

Excellent stuff Chris, this Sea Venom is looking so good and I’m glad that a couple of lads from the far flung Antipodes have been of some help along the way. Not long now till she’s all done and ready for a glass cabinet arrival. Cheers.. Dave
