perdu Posted February 9, 2018 Author Share Posted February 9, 2018 (edited) Brilliant shots of 100 and 103 showing the screen in place there James thanks Looks as if 106's screen got moved forward and up during the belly landing or its subsequent crew recovery I see there is a picture of 'mine - 109' in there too but not from an angle to help especially Landing on, from the deck, there wouldn't be would there Very sobering as you say that ejection series, presumably that shredded lump of metalwork is part of the recovered aircraft Again thanks for your help Edited February 9, 2018 by perdu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teuchter Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 (edited) I like the pics of the belly landed Bucc in 71Chally's link, really makes it look like a beached dolphin! Thanks for sharing Don Edited February 9, 2018 by Teuchter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing that shot of it flying above Eagle without its crew! https://get.google.com/albumarchive/105650755591531455869/album/AF1QipOIEJYXNSbII72CwjQdHkf27MBGjmEyfOK8q9SA/AF1QipPB83tIlFXKjCRH9Oe-bxyNRd0_epVhNtI_95Eq Edited February 9, 2018 by 71chally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perdu Posted February 10, 2018 Author Share Posted February 10, 2018 I need a tin of dark earth (for a different airyplane of course) enamel Would one of you remind me later to hunt the stalls at Huddy to see if a tin can be discovered in a place that wants to sell it * Sadly James will not be able to be there with his Sovereign models outfit, but there is no way on this planet I shall be buying any Humbrol enamels until they exhume their old school paint mixing guy and get him back on the job Which good news means that James will have a guaranteed sales base for the 'foreseeable' future I do not need a shipping order or Sovereign would have the order already Aha * 3mm chisel too, it appears mine are 1 and 2 mm wide and I can use a decent wider one 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomoshenko Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 I do have some Humbrol dark earth Bill, but unfortunately I think it's the new recipe, and sadly not the old fashioned lead addled toxic stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perdu Posted February 10, 2018 Author Share Posted February 10, 2018 No problem Tom, you know me If its not dangerous I wont try it I do still have a tin of Authentics but I want a proper fresh tin in case the contents have jellied, as occasionally happens and I cant get it in the airbrush oh arr, reminds me, your jacket is still in the Midget so remind me to bring it along next week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Humbrol 104 (Oxford blue) the equivalent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perdu Posted February 10, 2018 Author Share Posted February 10, 2018 I don't think it is, I think Oxford Blue is a bit bright even for 'tween wars markings Maybe we should see if Gareth, Steve and Dave need any enamels and get together an order Mimimum six in an order I think Re: the Oxford Blue maybe someone in the discussion on eras could help... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perdu Posted February 10, 2018 Author Share Posted February 10, 2018 Tell you what, if anyone is selling the Extracolor range I will see if there is a tin of roundel blue there, OK? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomoshenko Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Cheers Bill (I know I should be asking this on my thread, but as they say, "in for a penny in for a pound") Try and pick up some roundel red too - I know I'm a cheeky so and so 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perdu Posted February 11, 2018 Author Share Posted February 11, 2018 Well that's it No enamels but a ship load of watery, spirittery paints which were not what I wanted So I didn't get them I did get A Win in class3 with the Wasp Nice so thanks to all at Huddersfield But sadly Tomo, no paints None that I saw had RAF type paint colours. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perdu Posted February 11, 2018 Author Share Posted February 11, 2018 (edited) Thank you guys, I am very happy with how the Wasp turned out She won me the 4+ Trophy at SMW, then the beermat challenge of which more anon Then she won me the Hudson Trophy at 'club', then the Branch Championship too and now she has won the Class 3 competition at Huddersfield I built it because it seemed Colin was not going to get the Freightdog Wasp on line soon and I had that 'itch' to scratch, ironically I owe it to Freightdog And ironically heard from the man that the SM models one should be on the go come the Cosford show Oh yes, the Beermat Challenge.It came with a voucher to claim some goods from Parabellum and as Nigel has the new Airfix Phantom in stock I am redeeming some of the voucher Into my hands Sunday next And edit to mention Got the 3mm chisel, lovely jubbly Edited February 12, 2018 by perdu 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perdu Posted February 12, 2018 Author Share Posted February 12, 2018 That landing on photo, just had to have that with all that visible detailing Searching now, not for Spock this time but the wing mounted receivers as they have a slightly odd upper cone shape if my memory still serves me Not apparently in any set that Big H stocks or I would have ordered them this evening to travel with the master pitot and fuelling probe front which should be here by the weekend Ah yes, need to make four weapons pylons too 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBaron Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Belated congrats on the Wasp win Bill. Richly earned. Have been stalking Airfix Scouts of late on Geltbay: all starting reasonably at £5 then rocketing to £20 or so in a handful of bids. How hard could it be to vacform a... No. The descent into madness has been occasioned by lesser undertakings. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perdu Posted February 12, 2018 Author Share Posted February 12, 2018 Did you ever see the angle of attack probes in the Jaguar set? Or the pitot for the Hawk? Immen no, miniscule things and must be fabulous machinery producing them Oh Tony It is possible that fairly close to where my Midget is parked is a full body mould for an Airfix Scout fuselage available to one who wants to play... And I have it on good authority from Mel at S&M that the Wasp and Scout models will be ready for the Cosford shows just saying... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
