StephenCJ Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 It is good to see some modelling, Bruice. It is coming along very nicely. It is an odd looking aeroplane. Stephen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JOCKNEY Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Hi Bruce Great work on the BV, bit worried the thread is in danger of returning to being about model aircraft, but I'm sure we can rely on someone to put a stop to that ! Cheers Pat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Pat Ha ha! Just been to props jets and rotors at the SA aviation museam and put some kits in for fun with my lad!!! Too many top players for me to compete with but gee it's great stuff.

Winenut Posted August 17, 2014 Author Share Posted August 17, 2014 The guys at the "props jets and rotors" show were really generous and gave a junior award to my lad for his Fairey Battle that we worked on together. They didn't have to do that at all but gee it made my lads day and he looks forward to making a Mk1 fabric wing Hurricane that he now has in "his" stash. Top stuff and many thanks to the organisers.

GordonD Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Here's how the contemporary British magazine The Aeroplane viewed this aircraft: "Your nose is here, your engine's there Your tail's just stuck on anywhere You symbolise the grotesque Hun Begone, distorted one four one!" Not fans, it would seem! And for those who still think it couldn't fly... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SV96hXwWN7c 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 I reckon it was designed with more of an eye to 'What would appeal to a psychotic megalomaniac?' than any other considerations! Which is worrying 'cos I really rather like it, as I've already said! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen So does mine Stephen....so does mine. But I do try and encourage him a little with the kits and building stuff.. Mainly I think to foster an interest in Aircraft and flight etc which I love. All good fun Cheers BRuce 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephenCJ Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 (edited) Alex, my son, nearly 19, might not be interested in modelling ( too slow for him, I think) has the reflexes and decision making skills of a fighter pilot and the wit of Billy Connolly, knows what is going on in the world, doesn't watch the news. Tuesday I took him to the doctors, his mother sent me a text wanting to know where we were his reply "Next door making meth with Douglas" the mother's reply was "Don't blow the house up". Douglas is better known as Druggy Douggie. Alex is not interested in drinking tea, coffee or any alcohol and certainly not interested in drugs. My lad is 6 Pat. His stash consists of gifts, stuff that I get him when I buy stuff and he happens to be there too, and kits kindly given to him like from the guys at the prop jets and rotors show Already has...Italeri Night Harrier, Academy F100 Super Sabre, Airfix Eurofighter Typhoon, Minicraft F/A18 Hornet, Hobby Boss F16 Fighting Falcon, Hobby Boss F5E Tiger II, Airfix Matador Vehicle with 5.5 inch Artillery and now a Mk1 Rag Wing Hurricane!!!!. Oh my lord......what have I done!!???? You giving him skills to be free of losers like druggy douggie and a hobby that can last a lifetime. You had better get him building, at 6 that stash is too big. Stephen Edited August 21, 2014 by StephenCJ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmouredSprue Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 g'day Bruce! Just discovered this post and your battle against this hun plane. It is really looking good, but you should wait for the canopy to arrive, it's almost certain you'll need to sand and adjust to make it fit properly to the fuselage. BTW! I have some Future to spare with you if you're interested. Please let me know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh my lord......what have I done!!???? Great stuff Bruce gives us dads a chance to relive our childhood, but now with extra spending power ! I hope you are carrying on the tradition of putting them on his bedroom ceiling with fishing line and drawing pins. I am planning recreate what was on my bedroom ceiling as a lad (no not a mirror ball Stephen !) a B17 with Jerry's attacking one side and japs the other.

You actually seriously spooked me and made the hair on my head stand on end then. I DID pin all my my builds to the ceiling of my room...with bloody drawing pins(I painted them white to blend them into the ceiling), I did use a clear line, I did set them up in the RAF V Luftwaffe, USAAF v Japan dogfight scenarios....oh dear...oh dear!!!!! Wow!! Are we still allowed to do that today!!! LOL 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have some Future to spare with you if you're interested. Please let me know. Thanks Paulo....from what I can gather that Future stuff is liquid gold in Oz so you keep it safe....should be used on your builds...mine aren't worthy! My B&V is an experiment in everything. There are already things I've done I won't do again but that's learning and I love it. I desperately want some stuff to arrive next week otherwise I have to start another project and I dont want to do that until I finish this and the Dora!

JOCKNEY Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Now Pat. You actually seriously spooked me and made the hair on my head stand on end then.

Wow!! Are we still allowed to do that today!!! LOL Absolutely, after all it never did us any harm..............er well then again...! Think of it as a part of growing up before the pop posters, and centrefolds eras begin Cheers Pat 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
