What blasphemy is this CC? What have you done to that Westmalle glass? Or what have you done to that Kentish amber ale? Either way, something is wrong!! When I lived in Schilde we would ride our bikes across to Westmalle and purchase from the abbey door!

Cheers, Derek Sure enough Derek !! I just have 2 or 3 chalice in the kitchen... I taste my beer far better in a chalice than in a tumbler.... Westmalle is a fine one, I've had one Thursday in the right glass.... I should get my collection of glasses down from the attic.... But.... Did you see troubles with Missus coming ??? Have you tried the other Belgian Trappistes ?? If I drink an abbey beer it is the Westmalle glass, Trappistes get in my Chimay glass.... Sincerely.

Cheers, Derek Hello Derek, Here we are, See.... Heresy corrected.... Not necessary to call on these gentle guys.... Well, when I saw @AliGauld's build, I expected a super clean ICM Spitfire.... But.... Usual sink marks on the tail.... We'll see for the wings..... More to come soon Gents !! Sincerely. CC 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliGauld Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 I'm certain you will sort those sink marks out CC. My 1/48 was Special Hobby not ICM maybe that made the difference. Cheers, Alistair 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corsaircorp Posted December 1, 2022 Author Share Posted December 1, 2022 Hello Gents, Well, @bigbadbadge, Cyl head has been skimmed, cylinder block cleaned up.... Camshaft reinstalled, tomorrow timing belt... But with my right arm almost unusable, it's not that easy.... Especially tightening the cylinder head.... On the plastic front.... 4 Spitfires on the go.... But I think that the Ponies will make it first on the RFI See you soon.... Sincerely.

I'll look in my files for the wing of the Spitfires used by the french in Indochina Since the ICM one give the choice panels for noth the variants.... That will be a dirty worn Spitfire for sure.....

Graham Boak Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 My sources give examples of the Mk.IXc. Is this the only thread? I don't recognise the question that sent me scrambling up to check on my unfinished 1/72 Airfix Mk.IXc - currently a rather poor attempt at faded colours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello Graham, After a search in my books, there are mostly LF IX..... But there was IXc too.... Then at first they received 24 Mk VIII, used it a bit and turn it back when the IX arrived..... Look like another I think that I'll use a cropped E wing and a pointy rudder.... 9 hours ago, The Spadgent said: The Spitfire is back!!!! 🫶 Or should that be Spitfires are back? 🤔😉 Are back my dear Spad... There are still 4 on the bench.... I stalled my PR XI, hoping that Eduard will produce one but it don't look very likely.... More to come soon Gents.... Enjoy your modelling time !! Sincerely.
