Spookytooth Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 OK, after the fun (sic) of that Typhoon, I needed something to pick me up. So a look through my stash and this popped out. A chance buy at The Works on day and for a tenner I said yes. Well here is the obligatory box top pic. And the decals (not so many, and bigger too) She is big. And tooled in the States. But why do they do this to it? All answers on a post card LOL. Well I suppose I better start cutting some plastic now. So catch up later.

Spookytooth Posted April 28, 2018 Author Share Posted April 28, 2018 OK, thanks Giorgio, Corsairfoxfouruncle and Amblypigid. The colour scheme is the box top one but with a gloss blue prop nipple, (my skills are not sufficient to paint the spiral) Well cut some plastic and she looks big. Next the office bits (nearly all of them) Including Bruce the pilot. The engine next. Yep. its big alright (there 1 cm squares) Time for coffee now. All comments welcome.

giemme Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 She actually looks huge! How's the fit compared to the last Jug you did? (Academy, IIRC?) Ciao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ciao The fit is not bad Giorgio, a lot better than the Academy one. The main U/C bays are built up with the U/C legs attached which is a pain but there is no annoying join line by the looks of it but!!! we wait and see.

Spookytooth Posted April 28, 2018 Author Share Posted April 28, 2018 OK folks, final post for today. Remember this? Well it`s gone now. Last job of the night was to open up the holes for the underwing stores. Not pretty (the "D" holes) but job done. Whether anything gets done tomorrow I am not sure as we have Mother over for lunch (Roast Sirloin). All comments welcome. Simon. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corsaircorp Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Roast Sirloin ! Congrats ! that will be good, any saus ? A good red wine and mushroom saus will be top ! Pretty good Jug, seem to be the ex Monogram one ! I did the Academy months ago, lots of things to fix up ! The internals are already good ! Ruth is a good choice but be carefull about the blue color, there was Yellowsqdn sometimes Exemple Gery was depicted in blue bt the real thing was yellow ! Good choice in the two issues , sirloin Mmmmmh ! sincerely. Corsaircorp 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsaircorp Thanks CC, The Sirloin was great but no sauce added just seasoned with salt and pepper ( the good lady is very plain tastes when it comes to roasts sadly). I am going with the "Red Ruth" markings, with "Gloss Blue" tips and cowling band just to keep my sanity. LOL You were right about the Academy "D" version, a pita...

Cheers Johnny, a nice little Mojo restorer indeed but it has a few niggles as you will see.

How were the "Spare Ribs" dear chap, lovely and juicy I hope? OK folks, back to the bench. Pilot Bruce has already been awarded a Purple Heart by the looks of things. And further examination of parts I saw these as well on the cowling intake. Duly filled. Let those dry and on with some other niggles. The Rockets to be precise. The fin to body joint. The pic is a bit blurry but shall I say "A stick in a bucket fit" So remedial work beforehand I think. Fill holes with bits of 1.5 mm rod and allow to set (Only nine more to cut and glue) using TET. Once set , I will file/sand level before drilling a 0.5 mm hole in the centre. The Rockets will have the pins cut off and drilled similar then some 0.5 mm rod inserted. That is it for now. All comments welcome. Simon. (Now off to fix the washing machine.) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ciao Sounds tasty Giorgio, I like to braise ribs in a soy/garlic/ginger/chilli and sugar plus water mix slowly, allow to cool then remove ribs. Then add tomato puree/hoisin sauce to remaining stock and reduce. Put the ribs in the reduce sauce and allow to marinade. Then blast the in a hot oven/grill basting as they go until nice and caramelized. 3 hours ago, corsaircorp said: Hello Giorgio, Cooking sous vide, I'm curious, can you explain a lot ?

CC Thanks CC, amazing what a plaster can do LOL. OK, the washing machine is dead, so spent this afternoon getting another one ordered (should be here on Wednesday morning). Back on the bench this evening and got this done. First a pic of the rocket end (in focus this time) Cut nine more bits of rod and glued them in place with TET. As for Bruce , well scraped excess filler out for now. Will clean him up tomorrow. That is about all for now. All comments welcome.

CC Thanks CC, the washing machine was second hand and lasted 18 months. Still to clean up Bruce though. Drop tanks next. Glued in two stages (they were slightly warped) Then added the brackets. And what is this I see before me a harpoon? I can see that will have to be replaced.. Well a short update but life gets in the way. All comments welcome.

Spookytooth Posted May 2, 2018 Author Share Posted May 2, 2018 Nice video Giorgio, shame we don`t have the space for that equipment. Getting a foodie thread as well I see. Right, back to plastic. The U/C bays, hmmmm. As you can see, the one on the left is fine when I dry fitted the bits they went OK. The right one, well, some one has moved the locating ribs, oh fun. Looks like a removal and making of new ones there. The other U/C bits. So so, a bit of a clean up but, whats this I spotted. Yep, a lovely sink hole. Back to the rockets. Filled and trimmed level. Well that is it for tonight. I have Mother visiting tomorrow, as well our Son and DiL and Gdot. So catch up on Friday, Hopefully. All comments welcome.

And with some Alcad Black Primer/Filler. Leave for a while before slapping some paint on. Happy Bank Holiday Weekend folks.
