Yeah I have been putting this one off for quite a well now, once I get back from being away on holidays (am right up the top of Australia, the right hand pointy bit) I’ll finish her off

Ok then add me to the list, so far have no GB commitments next year so need to get some VF-31 Tomcats built…….only need to build 7!

How do you describe a redhead with bad teeth? Gingervitus How do you tell whether you’ve satisfied a redhead? She unlocks the handcuffs. What is the proper way for a redhead to shave their pubic hair? Gingerly. What do you call a redhead who is sandwiched between two blondes? An interpreter. What do you get when you cross a Jamaican with a ginger? A gingerbreadmon. What do you call ginger with asthma? A Wheez-ly. What do you call fat ginger? Fed Sheeran! What makes a terrorist different from a redhead? You may negotiate with a terrorist. What’s the difference between a ginger and a vampire? One is a pale blood-sucking creature that avoids the sun the other is a vampire. A ginger man finds a magic lamp and when he rubs it the genie pops out. The genie says, “What do you want?” The ginger says, “I want a huge mansion with a hundred rooms and 20 floors all made of pure gold.” The genie looks and says,” Don’t be an idiot! Do you have any idea how much gold that would take? That’s impossible, pick something else.” So the ginger finally decides and says,“ I want everyone to stop making fun of my hair color.” The genie says,“ So this mansion you want suite bathrooms?” A stunning young redhead walks into the doctor’s office, complaining that her body hurt everywhere she touched it. The doctor exclaims, “Impossible!” “Prove it to me.” The redhead pressed her finger against her left breast and screamed, then pressed her elbow and screamed even louder. She cried when she pushed her knee and screamed as she pushed her ankle. She screamed everything she touched. “You’re not actually a redhead, are you?” remarked the doctor.” “Well, no,” she replied, “I’m a blonde.” “I assumed so,” the doctor replied. “Your finger has been broken.”

That'll never happen!!!! 🤣 How does a penguin build its house? Igloos it together. Which knight invented King Arthur's Round Table? Sir Cumference. What's the easiest way to make a glow worm happy?

A ham sandwich walks into a bar and orders a beer. The bartender says, “Sorry we don’t serve food here.” I saw this advert in a window that said: “Television for sale, £1, volume stuck on full.” I thought, “I can’t turn that down.” What’s the difference between a tennis ball and the prince of Wales? One is heir to the throne and the other is thrown into the air.

gosh this brings back memories!!!! You are perfectly right about the cockpit, it was beautifully done, all it needed was some careful painting. I had to dig up photos of my build after seeing this.....bugga.....now I have the urge to build the 2nd one!

welcome to the list. You certainly knew when one of these flow overhead, they were noisy buggers....unless they tried to sneak up on you at low level and just below the speed of sound and scare the out of you!!! A fav trick they did at airshows downunder!

A guy goes to the post office to apply for a job. The interviewer asks him, “Are you allergic to anything?” He replies, “Yes, caffeine. I can’t drink coffee.” “Have you ever served in the military?” “Yes.” he says. “I was in Iraq for two years.” The interviewer says, “That will give you five extra points towards employment.” Then he asks, “Are you disabled in any way?” The guy says, “Yes. A bomb exploded near me and I lost both of my testicles.” The interviewer grimaces and then says, “Okay. You are a disabled veteran; you’ve got enough points for me to hire you right now.” “Our normal hours are from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM. You can start tomorrow at 10:00 AM, plan on starting at 10:00 AM every day.” The guy is puzzled and asks, “If the work hours are from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, why don’t you want me here until 10:00 AM?” “This is a government job,” the interviewer says. “For the first two hours we just stand around drinking coffee and scratching our balls. No point in you coming in for that.” I wrote a joke about how crappy the post office is and mailed it to my dad. He didn't get it. I was at the Post Office.... When I saw a blonde woman shouting into an envelope. I asked, "what are you doing ??" The blonde replied, "Sending a voice mail".... ---------------------------------------------------- A blonde, a redhead, and a brunette were all lost in the desert. They found a lamp and rubbed it. A genie popped out and granted them each one wish. The redhead wished to be back home. Poof! She was back home. The brunette wished to be at home with her family. Poof! She was back home with her family. The blonde said, "Awwww, I wish my friends were here." Two blondes fell down a hole. One said, "It's dark in here isn't it?" The other replied, "I don't know; I can't see." There are 11 people hanging onto a rope that comes down from an airplane. 10 of them are blonde, and one is a brunette. They all decide that one person should get off because if they don't, the rope will break and everyone will die. No one can decide who should go, so finally the brunette delivers a very touching speech, ending with the words, "I'll get off." The blondes, all moved by the brunette's speech, start clapping. Problem solved.

SPAP!!

that's one thing I have never gotten the hang of, and that's doing those really fine lines with an airbrush! How exactly do you do it, the the setup up compressor and paint wise.......have my glasses on and notebook ready!!!

for big long joins I try to use Revell's Professional glue, stuff in the blue plastic bottle, the thin steel tube makes it a breeze to use.

ok, just a wee update.....through sheer insanity I have moved this build aside for a short time while I build a Kitty hawk MH-60R Seahawk......and yes I do need professional help!! But I should have this build completed very shortly, she's pretty well finished paint wise, just some tiny touchups and clear coats needed..........what an absolute pile of ...not helped at all by instruction done by a blind person! I may sneak a photo in later.......

.....i feel the need.......the need for lots of blood! ....and the countdown has begun.........

A queue of souls are in the next world, awaiting to be sorted. A man comes to an angel. The angel asks: Have you been married? Yes, I was. Very well, here is your pass to Heaven. The man right after him steps forward. The angel: Have you been married? Yes, twice. Here is your pass to Hell. What? But... That guy... Listen, pal, Heaven is for martyrs, not for idiots. Mr Darcy, Victor Frankenstein, and Gandalf where standing in a queue, waiting to get into a club, when ... ... an ampersand walks past them, nods to the bouncer, and is let in immediately. Mr Darcy scoffs and turns to his companions. "He must be some kind of special character." What do you call the queue to a boxing match? The punchline! I got in line to watch Oppenheimer around lunchtime, but I realized it was three hours long and I was starving. So I went to the Barbie queue instead. I was in the petrol station queue and there was a bloke in front of me his right arm was browner than the other... He saw me looking, so I nodded to his arm and asked if he was a taxi driver. He replied, "No. I'm a vet."

I haven't forgotten about this build, actually even did a bit on her yesterday. It's just I have another project that I need to complete before the end of this month.....and yes I am torturing myself with another Kitty Hawk model!!! This time it's their MH-60R Seahawk another abomination from them with some of the worse instructions I've even used!! Complete garbage they are. I'll try and update this thread tomorrow......off drinking Saké today!!

Welcome along with an interesting subject choice and our first 2 seater as well. Another of these really nice ICM model, though this would have to be the ugliest of the MiG-25's. Great choice for a scheme as well, having Mr Coopers great reference book will be very helpful for the build. Well good luck with it, even with the known issues with the fitting of intake sand fuselage sections it is still a great model to build.

Arrrrrr very clever! For me it's Tamiya's XF-19 thinned with Automotive Acrylic Clear Lacquer Thinners (that's a mouth full) does the trick. It'd be the same idea a slightly "hot" paint to bind to the plastic.

Did you hear the police found a misspelled message written in blood? Yeah, they suspect it was a type-o. I took my ailing Iguana to the vet recently, and she prescribed him Viagra. Apparently, it’s designed to treat a reptile dysfunction. I fired my masseuse today. He just rubbed me the wrong way Guy walks into the bar with jumper cables over his shoulder. Bartender says, “Don’t start anything!” Did you hear about the Norwegian robot that analyzed a bird? Yeah, it’s Scandinavian. ----------------------------------------- A local bartender was working late one friday night when a patron comes running through the door. Patron: "HELP! I need to know how tall a penguin is!" The bartender puts out his hand and says "probably this tall" The patron looks terribly concerned and he says "Oh no! I think I just ran over a nun!"

that looks great Enzo! Interesting you use clear lacquer as a primer! Is there any advantage in using that first?

yeah they are for the cameras, so they'd be black behind the lens......unless you want to hollow them out and make some cameras?? You've made some great progress.......I'm still amazed that this model looks to be a direct copy of my 1/48th beast (or the other way around)!! I wonder which waa released first or were they together?

gee they look good!!

they are all coming alone nicely I see. Yeah the intakes/forward fuselage assembly with the ICM kits........interesting!! No matter what you do getting everything to fit nicely is going to be a right pain. I don't think there is a correct way to get them all together. I recommended you do lots of trial fitting to see what works best for you. You will get gaps that will need work, but with a little bit of test fitting and juggling they'll be hidden on the underside. It is very annoying but I still don't think it takes it away from the model in general being a great one!

nice work with the instrument panel, punching out those dials was the perfect way to go......seeing that punch reminds me that I need to buy that set, I have the smaller punch set. I hate doing riveting, I always manage to stuff it up, either go off line or or they double up on themselves! ...decisions....will look awesome once done.....just very stressful to do!

That does look really good!!! Just looking at that scheme I can imagine it'd be a bit of a nightmare to do, even on a simple flat surface, let alone this one. Help up the good work, you're nearly there!

the really sad thing is I have more KUTA entrants for this years build than last year..........I think that might be telling me something!!!

I’m addicted to brake fluid, but it’s OK because I can stop at any time. What do you call an alligator in a vest? An investigator. What did one eye say to the other? Just between you and me, something smells. What do you say to a Llama that loves picnicking? Alpaca lunch. Never trust a statistician. They’re always plotting something. How does Moses make coffee? Hebrews it. Why does the Little Mermaid wear Sea Shells? Because D shells were too big! ------------------------------------------ A vacationing penguin is driving his through Arizona when he notices that the oil pressure light is on. He gets out to look and sees oil dripping out of the motor. He drives to the nearest town and stops at the first gas station. After dropping the car off, the penguin goes for a walk around town. He sees an ice-cream shop and, being a penguin in Arizona, decides that something cold would really hit the spot. He gets a big dish of ice cream and sits down to eat. Having no hands he makes a real mess trying to eat with his flippers. After finishing his ice cream, he goes back to the gas station. The mechanic looks up and says “Looks like you blew a seal.” “No no,” the penguin replies, “it’s just ice cream.”
