And a very happy new year to you, too, CC ... and to all BM'ers too.

 

CC - at the beginning of December SWMBO and I visited Liege for a couple of days to go to the Christmas Market there, and slipped over to Monschau and to Maastricht to visit the Markets there, too.  I was able to track down one of my favourite meals (Rognon) in Liege, first sampled I forget how many years ago in Brussels.  A lovely start to the month and lead-in to Christmas! 

 

Take care, keep up the good work on the Walrus and the Spitfires ... !

Monschau is really scenic, I get up there oftenly. And Shhhht there is a hobby shop and sometimes the prices are really attractive.

I get my Revell 1/48 AC-47 for 28,00€

In Liege, you must try the "Boulet saucés sauce lapin" (Don't try Google trad on it) With potato chips and a good dark beer !!

You should have got in Bastogne, the "Musée des armées" tank collection is moved up there !

If you came back in Belgium, let me know what you want to see, I can give you adresses of interesting things like  a Tiger II or panthers !

Have a very happy newyear and thank for the kind words

Sincerely.

With her appearance, I would say Zvezda !! Seem to match but I'm sure that @TheBaron will surely help us to find the review...

Another interesting thing will be the scale and the price for having the fun to have your fingers on this kit :P:P

HNY2U2. Thanks for posting " The Butterfly Ball " a real feelgood tune which I'd almost forgotten. Nice model, the engine looks good too.

Hello Dears,

Engine story, I worked on my 57's Chevy engine and on this one

25695001008_265bc25623_b.jpg

Rear side now

25695000968_a6df21b026_b.jpg

No, not this one

25695001038_925cbd5148_b.jpg

And I think that @keefr22 can sleep quietly !

I did'nt let the code beside the radio and the morse key

25695001028_2a0053cb0d_b.jpg

nor did I let any map on the Navigator table...

Now the lights but I must find the right model !!

Have a nice modelling time...

And take care !

Sincerely.

:idea:...you could always take a leaf out of the Sci-Fi book as I believe that a number of spacecraft have fibre optics in them...that means you can have working nav-lights as well :wink:

 

Stuart

Hello Stuart,

Here it is ...

The Navigator has its working light, I searched for the model used in the RAF

There was some with a scissor like arm:fool::fool:

I know my own insanity but I did'nt try this

But there was another model easily copied

Here it is

25802527388_8862178dd5_b.jpg

The spot of light is from a sprue...

I should may be add another one for the radio now ??

Dear @Martian Hale What do you think about ??

What will be the risk of a mutiny for a lamp case !!

Knowing that she will be an Australian Shagbat adorned with a Pin up !!

 25802527428_371ed2ea39_b.jpg

Hey look ! now, I will think of @Christer A each time I'll use my cutting plier !!

Ok Dears, Have a nice modelling Sunday !!

And take care !!

Sincerely.

Very nice lighting Cc!

Now do an ashtray and a half-eaten sandwich to go with the buffet ambience you're creating...:bangin: 

That crew will be thoroughly spoiled with comforts by the time you've finished.:D

Lovely work.

I wasn't expecting you to go and make a light!

That is excellent work CC but not wanting to be picky, you said it is 'working' and I see no evidence of such...:wink:

Ha ! Hum, working light a light that help you to make your work !!

Never say that the light will actually lighting !:rofl::D

But now the raedio has its own light No jealousy !!
