I did spend a few weeks in Brussels over two different trips back in 1998 (well, make it a couple of months in total), but it was for work and I couldn't get around much (except the occasional visit to Waterloo). And, I didn't use to drink beer back then, so it was a pretty sad stay... luckily, I did like chocolate (I still do), so staying in a hotel near La Grande Place was a good chance to visit the small chocolate shops...

corsaircorp Posted June 10, 2021 Author Share Posted June 10, 2021 Well, That's it If you feel eager to correct this one day, call on me.... I'll introduce you to some of my friends I think to Flavio....Funny guy... Now, if our @Martian is with us at the same time, don't worry about beer.... You will not, by no means be dehydrated... Did you visit the Musée des armées in Bruxelles ?? CC 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corsaircorp Posted June 10, 2021 Author Share Posted June 10, 2021 Well Gents, Here we are, this one for @Shalako I just thin the trailing edge, then insert it in between the flaps. Sincerely. CC 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corsaircorp Posted June 10, 2021 Author Share Posted June 10, 2021 Heavy pain in the back but at least.... I get it... Such a pain in the ... Barely seen so much stupidity in conception..... My van is full of van's parts.... Now, cleaning all up, replace the clutch and replace all the stuff... Whithout forgetting a nut or a clips.... I'm already sweating when I think about replacing the gearbox.... And @perdu did you tried to inject WD40 in the bearing ?? It's just like me, we mechanics know how far we can get too far.... But one day.... I'm on such a day.... And I hate it too.... Add to this a thousand bucks for healing the great dane that got a serious spinal chord problem... My mother who is creating a mess in the retirement house.... And my father who can no longer face his bills.... No wonder that my clock and lungs are winding down and downer.... Okay, chin up, Bench time soon.... Dear @The Spadgent absolutely sorry for the thread drift... I did'nt realise that I was on your thread... I'm a bit confused these days.... Sorry again my friend...

Sincerely. CC I will attempt to replicate your work during the upcoming weekend, because a long time ago I made the mistake and tried to place the flaps in the down position, as when the aircraft is parked. I just have to check the "box of doom" as I would like to call that contains all my previous builds/ half-builds (talking about going back a few decades!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His ability to lift such heavy machinery as is a car's engine without the right tools, only his hands. And he never had back problems, go figure!

I think about welcoming tourists.... The pyramid of empty bottles is something that must be seen at least once in a life.... I did this spoiler because the one from Tamiya is a bit tiny... Then the flap spanner is too thick.... Ah, modellers are hard to satisfy.... 5 hours ago, The Spadgent said: You’re not. It’s your one. No worries if it were, you let it out kid.

I organize my box of doom in tiny bag, that way it's easier to find parts... The Mercedes engine is really heavy.... I'm glad for your dad, that's quite a luck...

I have a wooden prop from an ULM, but I don't think that Mrs CC will tolerate it on the wall.... Errr.... I fact I think that there is someone somewhere who take pleasure in beating a voodoo puppet of me or my Great Dane.... She started to grow better.... Wifey use some kind of pasty to lure her in taking her pills.... But the canister fell on the soil and Nokya swallowed it.... Just to let you appreciate the size of the canister.... I was about to rest a bit and modelling.... But NO !! Back to the Vet at 2130.... Surgery again.... But the vet caught the culprit... And DANG !!! 800 bucks gone..... We are bored, exhausted and stranded now.... That's why I did'nt get to BM these days... I resumed working but evening work days.... On the plus side, I found a EA-6B for a very nice price... The Kinetic one of course... Tomorrow a bit of bench time unless something wrong happen.... Once again.... Sooooo, fingers crossed, believe me I also cross my toes... Who knows....

bigbadbadge Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Oh CC I am sorry to hear this, hope you dog is okay. Goodness me you are going through it a bit at the moment, fingers crossed things get better very soon. Re the Prop, I will see where I am allowed it, it was SWMBO'S Grandad's Prop and she said yes to me having it before I knew it was coming my way so hopefully this will help in the displaying of it!!!

corsaircorp Posted June 15, 2021 Author Share Posted June 15, 2021 Hello Dears, I thank you all for the support and healing wishes @giemme, @Dunny, @Corsairfoxfouruncleand @bigbadbadge Wifey thank you too, Nokya is improving slowly... A bit groggy with all these drugs but... That's incredible, she's 6 and a half years old and she never saw a vet... And now in a mere 20 days, she has surgery, scanner and almost 10 differents vets.... That also delayed the fixing of my van, more to come soon on this front... And I received this from the mailman !! I used to have the old Airfix one, but a modeller friend was wearching for one.... I tell them to buy a Kinetic one but he wanted the Airfix one for sentimental reasons.... But then, I missed some opportunities to buy the Kinetic one for my collection... Until last week... Then I got this one for a bargain price.... It will look great beside the FA-18F that I will restart in 2022.... Stay safe Gents !! Sincerely.
