well real life comes first. Sorry to hear its not good. I just hope its as easy as it can be. If you dont get it finished in time I have still enjoyed watching this and will continue to watch it as you eventually finish it.

cheers Rob

Last night seen me finish the scribing but I'll start a new thread and link across before showing any further progress.

Quick update to prove this one is still on the workbench.

Was sure I'd have to scratchbuild the airfield arrestor hook that was a feature of RN T.8s until I spotted this while building a Zvezda 'Skipper Riley' kit for my daughter.

Needs to be lengthened but a very useful and welcome starting point. I'm now wondering how best to reproduce this a few times for another 2 or 3 RN Hunter projects...

Alas no Rodders. It sat on a corner of the workbench for a while before getting a pitot probe and wingtip lights added then going back to its corner with a few other stalled projects. Took a photo to show said additions but for some reason I can't load it here on this new laptop or quote posts :(

Here we go gang, proof of life, uploaded thanks to stealing works internet during break time ;)

Just watch out for monitoring software. I was using BM on my lunch break, and inadvertently left my browser on that page and minimized it to the task bar. The IT department thought I was using the site all afternoon, and was ready to black list it. Luckily, I talked them out of it!

Nice pitot by the way!

Cheers,

Bill

Ah where's the time gone Col 2013 and the GB we did was so much fun and it seems like last week ! Great fun back then i hope to do another GB when life settles down a bit.

Love the work your doing on this it will be good to see it finished. Got the same kit on the stash but I will be keeping it simple I think :)

Cheers Rob
