As to that amorphous blob, however, I can't rightly say what that might be, although it does somewhat resemble the indigenous Globular Narthrax of the planet Posita. I'll have to see if I can capture one on my next patrol in that sector. So, Thank you Ranger... Keep me in touch... Chili was... They emptied the plates... It must be a sign...

You know now that I like the size comparisons... Did I hear @CedB's most famous "Fnaar, Fnaaar "?? I mean Scale Aircraft comparisons... The Skyknight was a huge beast... Look, Sje's almost as long as a Harrier !! The RFI is approaching now... Fingers crossed to avoid another And the beast is on her legs now Hoooray !! NOT A TAIL SITTER !!! The main gear bracing is... Well annoying... That's where I'm working now !! Well take care of yourselves !! When I listen the virus tally in UK and US... I'm sad and I pray for you !! Here we are in our 4th week of confinement and the amount of declared cases start to slow down. Of course, it did'nt mean we are out of these S... but, still a little light at the exit of the tunnel !! For me, it was business as usual.. But the stress of knowing or wondering if my customer is safe or not ??? Really though times, the half of my colleagues are at home, so much workload for the ones who stayed on the streets... Take care Gents !! Sincerely. CC 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggles87 Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 You and your family take care also CC, I don’t envy you being out and about at the moment. We are extremely lucky living here, we have about 4 hectares of fields so we don’t need to leave our own property, although we do walk the dogs in other areas ( within 1km ) because there are very few people around here and we keep our distance if we do see anyone. Stay well John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corsaircorp Posted April 27, 2020 Author Share Posted April 27, 2020 Hello Dears, I'm not very glad about the windshield, A lot of painting rectifications... Then, the transparencies were full of plastic bits and dust... So, I create a special tool to clean it up... Opening the hatch was finally a great idea.. Bend Q tip... Part of my shim is still visible, but I will live with that... To repair it, I must reopen all the transparencies... NO WAY !! It's a lesson learned and Basta !! Then, I add another detail... There was no Landing light... Now there's one... Thanks to the pics... Of course... the hinge are not the right shape, but luckily, it will no longer be visible when glued in place... Aaaand last bit of luck, I started to create a windshield wiper... But thanks again to the pics, the Leathernecks in Korea did'nt use it... I saw one on the #15 only... One more thing sorted !!! See you tomorrow !! Sincerely. CC 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corsaircorp Posted May 2, 2020 Author Share Posted May 2, 2020 Hello Dears ! The RFI is here ! But I missed the disaster from a hair... When I took the pic, I noticed that I forgot the position lights... Sooo, I took the F3D back to the bench, where it slipped from my hands... An U/C door, a fuel tank and the antenna... Add to this the spilling of my red paint jar... Well, everything is repaired, but my missus fled from the kitchen when I start swearing... This kit is cursed !! Have a great modelling sunday !!

LorenSharp Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 I think that is something that happens to all of us. All of a sudden the model has a mind of its own and says..... Fly away! Be Free! and Sir Issac strikes his revenge and NO! Splat!Cue Porky and... scene. At least in the end after the commercial break it all came back together. Great Save! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
