MikeW Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Go on PC - you'll be disappointing many people. They'll tune in expecting something awful, something with which they might threaten their children, but will hear very cultured tones. I have heard some really horrid Chicago area accents in my day, but that is not you. Flat twang indeed! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Procopius Posted February 17, 2016 Author Share Posted February 17, 2016 No photos, but more progress. I added the little intake, and all of the (very frustrating) PE vortex generators. Much easier earlier, but of course they're astride the fin flash, so one can't really add them until it's added. This was probably another bright idea from the sadist who spread the Hawker Hunter's underwing serials over about eight MLG doors. Anyway, this kit is almost done-zo. There are one or two more decals to add (what I believe to be radiotransparent covers for bomb-aiming radar on the underbelly...and then dullcoat. Very excited. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookenbacher Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 You ought to be proud of this one PC, raising a Winston and still experimenting with resin, Alclad, and tiny tiny PE vortex generators. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyverns4 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Tripple dare, (or more...) and as we are going all Greek; Αυτή θα μπορούσε να εξετάσει όλες τις μελλοντικές - ish και Dan Dare , αλλά το σύστημα προσγείωσης είναι σίγουρα πεζών .

Procopius Posted February 17, 2016 Author Share Posted February 17, 2016 I purchased Jaffa Cakes for my office -- they're a big hit! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beard Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 (edited) I purchased Jaffa Cakes for my office -- they're a big hit! I did a day trip to France today and purchased some Cherry Jaffa Cakes (well supermarket own-brand) that have white chocolate on the top. Much as it pains me to say it, French jaffa cakes are better than the original. Edited to correct spelling.

Beard Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 (edited) Beard! What would Lord Nelson say?He was partial to Génoises (as our French chums, and one time foe, call them), what do you think the Battle of the Nile was for?Edited to correct spelling. My phone used 'Nike' rather than 'Nile'. Edited February 17, 2016 by Beard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keefr22 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 He was partial to Génoises (as our French chums, and one time foe, call them), what do you think the Battle of the Nike was for? Trainers? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well surely the Génoise is a sort of Italian pastry, though, and if Lady Hamilton proves one thing, it's that he loved a bit of tart in Sardinia... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Procopius Posted February 18, 2016 Author Share Posted February 18, 2016 I should add, not Sardinia. For some reason I thought that instead of the Due Sicilie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beard Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 I should add, not Sardinia. For some reason I thought that instead of the Due Sicilie. I was going to say 'Kingdom of the Two Sicilies' but didn't want to show off, especially as I didn't notice my phone had changed 'Nile' to 'Nike'.

Biggles87 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 I have to agree with Beard that the French Jaffa cakes ( can't remember what they're called at the moment ) are better. A friend brought some Jaffa cakes over a couple of years ago and I have to say I was disappointed Nicely done on the Valiant PC, I have to say that I was surprised at the size comparison, I thought that the Valiant would be bigger.

Learstang Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 So I can finally set this build to song? How to say 'The Saga of the Airfix Valiant' in Old Norse? At any rate, splendid job PC! Regards, Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Procopius Posted February 19, 2016 Author Share Posted February 19, 2016 Also, it appears my workplace is undergoing a re-org, as some important muckety-mucks are leaving us. If, uh, you know anyone in the British Isles who wants to import an American social media manager, you let me know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
