  1. I promise...this is the last of the Tintin aircraft! In 'The Red Sea Sharks' we get to see the Mossie several times throughout the book. The first is in the found wallet of General Alcazar, ousted by his perennial rival General Tapioca. News clippings, a bit of nosing around... Then we see the Mossies at work in the desert, trying to get Tintin and Haddock and accidentally blowing up their own armoured cars instead. Nice graphics in those panels. The final sighting is when Tintin and Haddock are strafed while onboard the dhow and our boy reporter manages to shoot one of them down with what looks like a surplus MP44...enter Piotr Skut. Herge really had some nice art work in this book, beautifully drawn and coloured. I'll be using a venerable kit as well... A few panels, some backstory...I always liked the newspaper add advertising the sale...those initials happen to be my own, albeit in a different order! Nice colours...and decal placement... All at sea...are the guns in the right places? I thought they were all in a line...might have to fiddle with that. And we're off. In a bit. I want to finish up the Seagull for the other GB first. --JDCM
  2. It seems fitting that I should continue my new-found love of helicopters with this AModel kit of a Mil Mi-1M 'Hare', in the livery of the Republic of San Theodoros, while under the rule of General Tapiopca, General Alcazar's perennial rival. That's right. More Herge...more Tintin...😉 If you google 'San Theodoros', you'll find it somewhere in the northern part of South America, maybe south of the Guyanas or...who knows? It doesn't exist. It was a puppet state of Borduria, which also doesn't exist. I am sure I have lost most of you already. In any case, here's a wiki link...why this exists...I also don't know. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Theodoros And here are some of Herge's panels showing the colours and decal placement. Pretty simple stuff. I like the khaki buff. And here are the Blue Rider decals...just the flag, the red stripe and the call-sign, 'C04' And what's inside the box...an old-fashioned AModel kit with lots of flash, clunky moulding, etc...Lots to clean up here! Take a gander at those gates...pretty thick! --John
  3. I grew up reading Tintin. I have been wanting to build this 109 for a long, long, time....The kit I will be using is an old Airfix Heller kit (I think) that I bought in a job-lot sale. All the parts are there except for the instruction sheet, so I'll be winging it! I will be using the Blue Rider decal sheet from the second series of publications. Remember, the first printing had Tintin flying a Heinkel with the old-style Bordurian 'hourglass' design. I will not be attempting a remodelling of the pilot to resemble our intrepid boy-reporter and faithful pooch. Fun, fun, fun...the illustrations are from Blue Rider and Herge... This superb profile is by Claes Sundin. His website is here... https://luftwaffeinprofile.se/Bf 109 Tintin.html --John
