SleeperService Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 As soon as I open my mouth something comes along to stump me... I'm having 'issues' with the tail-planes on my 48th Frightening parts 68 and 69. I may be dense but I just can't get them to sit right. Any clues anybody?

Procopius Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Thinking of dipping my toe in the water, either with a breathtakingly original 74 Squadron Lightning, or...another thing, if someone is headed to the PRO in the near future and could do me a favour. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on in, the water's lovely Any squadron option is fine by us. Now, excuse my ignorance, what's the PRO? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Public Records Office, in Kew. Erm, I guess it's called the National Archives, but I always called it the PRO when I was researching the Indian Ocean Raid.

Hockeyboy76 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Flt Lt Ightning needs some of his 74Sqn buddies to join him in the gallery. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookenbacher Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Ah yes, the collective gravity of the group build grows, engulfing even the mighty Procopius! Really looking forward to your build PC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADMUSKY Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I asked this question elsewhere and got the answer that they were more or less steered using the left/right brakes on the main u/c : the nose wheel not being steerable as such (certainly not linked with the rudder) but there was an anti-shimmy lock on it used for take off, landing etc. anyway, it told me all I needed to know - don't have to pose the nose leg to match the ruddar are you sure, have a look at this picture http://www.abpic.co.uk/photo/1348854/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phartycr0c Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Here you go, my first build finished! Joking! Had my ears cleaned out by this beauty this afternoon at Bruntingthorpe. Thanks to all the folk at the lightning preservation group for laying on a fantastic spectacle. Well worth the visit! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Moff Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Any advice on the small panel with antennas which are brown colour half way down the spine? Looks as if I need to scratch build the Ae's - any advice on the Humbrol brown colour to use? All the references show this, but no call out - strange that the 2 ae are also absent?

Procopius Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 I think Humbrol 148 is indicated for radome tan, the usual colour of nudie dialectric panels. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Lime Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 May I join in....I promise I'll try to finish at least one this time! I look forward to seeing whatever Lightning you choose, it'll be a cracker I'm sure! Thinking of dipping my toe in the water, either with a breathtakingly original 74 Squadron Lightning, or...another thing, if someone is headed to the PRO in the near future and could do me a favour. Yes, you must build a Lightning if you want to further your Britishness, it just wouldn't be cricket if you didn't. Mark. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Procopius Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Yes, you must build a Lightning if you want to further your Britishness, it just wouldn't be cricket if you didn't. Well now there's no escaping it, is there? Very well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Lime Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Well now there's no escaping it, is there? Very well. No, there isn't! Did I also mention you can do a Shark Mouthed one too?

I actually have that sheet, but in my folly, I swapped the shark mouth decals with someone a while back. If I have courage equal to desire, I may try a Sword F.3 as a 74 Squadron bird.

nimrod54 Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Well now there's no escaping it, is there? Very well. No there isn't, so it is no use fighting it PC and as extra inducement we could help to you further your Britishness with some local dialect lessons. That way you could visit any UK region and know what the hell we were talking about. So to set you on your way, as we say up here in the north-west 'Gethisenin' or loosely translated 'Get yourself in'. I'm sure you will enjoy it and I am looking forward to seeing your build now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 So here we are a little over one third of the way into our GB. One finished project already displayed in the gallery and several more well on the way to keeping it company. We have kits in almost every scale possible being worked on and some cracking banter coming through the various threads. Keep up the good work gang 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockeyboy76 Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 I agree, some cracking builds developing, good banter, & some film & TV quotes too! I'm thinking if the build has a pilot then, they should be named. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookenbacher Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 This has been a really fun Group Build alright. I think that I'm going to schedule my 2015 builds in order to join as many GB's as possible as a result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabba Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 I would just like to say sorry for not commenting as yet on any of the projects of this GB as time and other things seems to have caught up with me. I have had a look at many of them, and have seen some very good work, which I may use if not on the kit that I am building at the moment but in future builds. Well done to all.
