RayB24 51 Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Wow, Snoopy is really coming along. Neat work. I find that opening all the windows and doors in the house gets the stink out after a few hours. Trick is to get the cross breeze effect. Of course living in the great white north... AKA Canada this can be a problem in the middle of winter and summer. Average 30+ degrees and very humid in summer, Winter -10-30 depending on the day. Swmbo gets ticked off either way with all the windows open. A few years ago, sprayed a big hull in the kitchen since I couldn't fit it in my spray booth. Similar smells.. My wife came home and tore a strip off my then teenage daughter. The exact words were "how many times have I told you not to do your nails in the kitchen"... I just stayed quiet and slunk off to watch hockey...... Ray 5 Link to post Share on other sites

Simon Cornes 499 Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 I hope you have some decent props for it. I renovated an original Airfix K a few years back and got hold of, allegedly, the last set of Aeroclub props and what a thing of beauty they are - the amount of twist is amazing and very fine. John A told me the moulds were now dead which is a huge pity because they were so good - IMHO of course!! Simon 1 Link to post Share on other sites

The Airfix are nothing like the Hamilton-Standard props fitted to the Alison T56-A-!5! It would be really nice if John could be persuaded to make a new mould. IMHO all other Herk props are pale imitations and very disappointing when you see what they could/should look like. Maybe Quckboost can do a set in resin if The Master can't be re-motivated?!!

I like Newfies - they rather sound like where I come from. Not sure I'm that impressed with Gander though (albeit it is far better than the 'hole that is Goose Bay - and don't even get me started on Happy Valley!), however the French Onion Soup in the Pizza Delight there was to die for. I do rather like St Johns though. I might tell a dit about St Johns... 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Rob G 3,410 Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Going by previous form, Quickboost would only recast the first props they could find and call them 'New and Improved'. Looking good there Debs. Link to post Share on other sites
