Yep, you're almost right !!

It was not Fireflies but fulmars over malta !

Being "almost right"... the story of my life!

With regard to undercarriage doors, I have no doubt your model will soon have a lovely set. In case of any confusion, I was referring to the photo of the real aeroplane, where the door seems to be missing?

Cheers,

Nick.

Hello Dears

Adjusting the u/c doors !

WP_20190725_21_29_07_Pro

I filled with the Rat tail file, see wher the files are,

And there too

WP_20190725_22_50_22_Pro

Then the main door has to be filed down to reduce its height !

If not, one will have some Schürzen to protect the whole wheel !!

It can also be used for ice skating However !!

WP_20190725_22_29_49_Pro

Here's the resulting result obtained...

WP_20190725_22_30_03_Pro

By file Mc Result of course !!

More to come soon.

One more fun fact with old SH kits !!

WP_20190726_23_21_19_Pro

There is just one !!

It has not been moulded in ...

Both 2 kits are same way !

So on for doing this !! Luckily it's just a bit of straight plastic !!

More roccities soon !!

Sincerely.

Hello Dears,

Sincerely !! I hate this stuff !!

Very thin parts on thick sprue !! I broke it at 2 places !! :wall:

WP_20190807_22_57_05_Pro

Now we had to stay gentlemen...

Here's one of the first promoted RAF figures...

Promoted to a FAA sailor of course !!

WP_20190807_22_57_23_Pro

Not easy to compose a guy that get out of the turret...

Here are parts fron 3 differents figures...

I will maybe buy another box... Meaning another Spitfire Mk IX .... :whistle:

More to come soon...

Sincerely.

Hello Dears,

In my searches for some figures, I bring this back from the LHS

WP_20190808_21_04_38_Pro

Here are the sprues...

WP_20190808_21_05_31_Pro

Look @CedB there is Molly on the sprues...

 

WP_20190808_21_05_37_Pro

Now, I will make 2 remark, you both know that I'm a great fan of the british humor..

I'm almost sure that some Airfix designer helped themselves on the box cover... Look

.

WP_20190808_23_04_24_Pro

The faces on the box cover are far apart from the actual figures,

Imagine a kid looking at the box and sayin' "Look Mama, daddy is on the box..." :rofl2:

My second remark is about this...

WP_20190808_23_02_58_Pro

could someone explain the poor lad that putting Avgas in the gun bay is a very bad idea !!

And now his mate is about to do the same stupid thing...

And maybe telling the third guy that the electrical connector did'nt go to the wheel and neither on the prop ! :rofl2:

 

That said...

My Dear @Martian Hale look what's waiting for you on the corner...

Adjusting the landing light... :evil_laugh:

WP_20190808_22_06_38_Pro

One can almost make the two light with just one ...

Of course My Dear Alien, 

You're not concerned by this...

The turret "Fell" in the fuselage

WP_20190808_21_49_36_Pro

Of course, with the transparencies... It no longer get in.... :evil_laugh::evil_laugh:

WP_20190808_21_51_45_Pro

But whatever... Closing the turret is funny in itself...

WP_20190808_23_16_32_Pro

More delicate sanding ahead !!

Now, The Jackstand is almost right, The roc is levelled up !!

WP_20190808_21_52_38_Pro

I think that it will look right...

More to come soon !!

Take care and have a great modelling time !!

Hello Dears !

Not a great deal done this evening, I worked on these 3 ladies !

WP_20190810_22_15_37_Pro

Lots of tiny things done !! But not worth a thousand pics !

WP_20190810_23_06_21_Pro WP_20190810_23_06_31_Pro

On for 4 evening work days !!

The job is pretty hard this year !! Then, new colleagues have been hired but I have more evening days of work !!

These young chicken are afraid to work at night !!

We're going right into the wall at this rate !!

Have a great modelling time !!

Sincerely.

Hello Dears,

I started my days of yesterday... 13 days at home , I already starte to cry...

At first, it seemed to get on good !!

SWMBO's friend has made some bakkery for us to try

WP_20190815_12_29_46_Pro

This chocolate cream with the orange behind was delicious !

The color were Martian and it has been done purpotedly... Well !! :whistle:

Then I have prepared the meals for the dogs !!

Cutting and scaling around 50 Kg of meat and organs...

It took some times... And it was the time were :poo:

A strong argument erupted with SWMBO and we're back in the trench war...

Once again... Like every time I get some rest... 

Well enough of whinning !!

I played  @Martian Hale's game with white plasic !!

 

WP_20190815_20_14_12_Pro

Making the missing Wheel well's cover and creating a support for the fire extinguisher

WP_20190815_20_39_35_Pro

Even the originals covers are far too long... So were my copies...

WP_20190815_20_38_22_Pro

So back at the ruler to fix it, there should have been a sort of mechanism on here but let's bet that the cover is stored into the wing when the U/C is lowered !!

WP_20190815_23_50_08_Pro

Here we are !!

More to come soon !!

Sincerely.

WP_20190823_00_27_44_Pro

Adjusting the turret glazing...

WP_20190822_22_29_15_Pro

It look good now, But, I'll have to create a ring to djust the turret in the roc:wicked:

WP_20190822_22_30_29_Pro

Hello Dears !!

Let's carry on withe the fun !!

What I suppose Hope is a fire extinguisher is glued in place !

WP_20190901_22_29_01_Pro

Following step, the cecking is glued and lowered !!

WP_20190901_22_36_09_Pro

I find myself pretty lucky that I'll let the canopy open !! 

Since... Well !! a pic tell thousands words !

WP_20190901_22_37_14_Pro

My dear @Martian Hale Will may be try to close it on his floatplane...

But my second Roc will be open too :tease:

Then I added the telegraph pole antenna mast ...

WP_20190901_22_50_58_Pro

I think that the engineers have had a great time in designing the poor Roc !!

It was a contest on the best bad ideas to slow the aircraft by any means !!

SWMBO has gone to the french coast...

And bring back some pics !!

Look Dover is visible !!

IMG_7652

Well, Hope that I can have some bench time tomorrow...

Thank for popping in !!

Take care of yourselves !! A bit better than I did for myself !!

Sincerely.

Special Hobs specialities...

WP_20190906_21_00_39_Pro

Nice sink mark on the exhaust stack !

Since the turret has some difficulties to find its place in the fuselage, I started to scrap plastic on here...

WP_20190906_21_27_22_Pro

And here but it is a bit more scary !!

WP_20190906_22_54_46_Pro

And almost as dicey... Here too 😓

WP_20190906_22_55_01_Pro

Here's where I'm heading for... Almost ...

WP_20190906_22_57_16_Pro

The plane on a stand and the crew exiting her as she was "constantly manned"

WP_20190906_22_57_27_Pro

It will be the time of the watch change !!...

WP_20190906_22_59_31_Pro

Now, Hoooops, I'm late to go to work...

Have a great modelling time !!

Sincerely.
