birthday gift from my daughter... Offered 3 days before....

Bought with her first income... I'm very touched !!

This week end is the Made in Asia convention... So, she told me that it will be easier to take some better pictures from her ....

But I wonder... The yellow haired moron say that the chinese secret service is present in each of these phones... :giggle:

When I rubbed the Flory, Murphy strike once more and I get this !!

Hello Dears,

I think that the things are cooling down regarding the Computer...

The squabblings are now replaced by the cold war...

Soooo, I was really glad, contempling the fact that the .24 would have been in RFI this week.

There we were on Thursday !

IMG_20191213_225951

But yesterday... :poo::poo::poo:

I think that there was just to pose the hood, and she will be called done.....

:wall:😤:swear:

Airfix, What's that S....  ?? 🤬

IMG_20191215_222832

That ridiculous hood is far too little....

I checked and checked again, but NO !! I can let it that way...

I was searching for a solution...

And :pray:, I then remember that I bought it years ago...

IMG_20191215_223329

I did some kiwi incantations and so on....

Aaaand !!:phew:

IMG_20191215_224919

That's far better that way !!

May all the kiwis collectively be blessed for years !!

Hey, on the Plus side, I received this from my father for the corporation day !!

IMG_20191214_155909

It will fix my Airfix's hood related anger !!

Have a great modelling time Chaps !!

Sincerely.

Hello Dears,

I think that I will start a brand new Spitfire thread...

Look what has jumped in my service car ....

I was about to buy some primers and Dang !!!

The box cried on a shelf... Then 29th is nearing...

I cannot stay deaf at these arguments, So I opened my car door and hop in it did....

IMG_20200921_184901

So, I'll let this thread for the Spit up to Mk VII

And open a new one for the earlies...

Choice is done for this box...

IMG_20200922_113238

Aaaand, it was obvious.... This one...

IMG_20200922_113300

A guy nicknamed "Sailor"... 

What should I do ??

Then I still have 2 Airfix Mk I....:dinosaur:

Be carefull !!

More lunacy ahead...

Sincerely.

Hello Dears,

Modelling CC is awake 24/7...

Last week, I get to the slaughterhouse, buying the dog's meat...

I remarked some big sturdy boxes beside the bin...

The penny dropped at once...

So, as I am a well mannered guy, I asked if I can take some of these boxes...

Sure enough the guy agreed... 

Aaaand, here we are...

Now I can store my kits in a more safer way, and by theme !!

Here's the ETO #1

IMG_20210315_155648

Easier and safer than the individual shoebox...

Waiting for a cabinet whenI'll do my mancave...in the attic... Logical is'nt it ???

 

Now the funny part in the game is....

Having British aircraft secured in a box that came from Argentina is indeed pretty funny...

Have a great modelling time Gents !!

Sincerely.

Hello Gents !!

Huh, I've to finish this thread too...

Probably just to start another Spitfire thread, but dedicated to the earlies....

I'm in my evening work week and Lord, I must admit that I'm no longer the speedy rabbit I used to be 20 years ago...

More to come soon in ellipitical wings world !!

Sincerely.

Hello Gents,

My friend @BS103 is looking to make a Mk IX...

This sparked the envy to finish these 2...

The problem is, I still have two more Mk IX in the stash....

decision... Decision...

Then I fell for this beauty....

 

IMG_20221107_180517

Hello Dears !!

Look @mark.au what you have done....

Then I got friends here that also catch the Spitfire virus.....

IMG_20221109_190535

One can think, "Oh CC is adding a Mk IX to his thread...."

But Gents... Seriously ???

It's a box from CC stash.... Soooooo ???

IMG_20221109_190551

Kerplunk.... Ignition fail....

There are two Mk IX.....

And on we go....

IMG_20221109_223315

Really basic build of the engine....

Not even painted, He is in as an exhaust stacks holder. Period....

And no one of these 2 with stripes....:bounce:

More to come soon...

The Thunderjet received his last coat of varnish....

We will have a RFI this week....

Have a great modelling day !!

Sincerely.
