Hello Gents,

Some news from the world....

The lunacy is not about to stop on here....

But, my plea is not guilty Sir !! That's for the good of an old kit....:evil_laugh:

IMG_20220316_212139

Esci Airscrew is quite good both in shape and dimensions....

But the engine cowling.....:wall::wall:

Diameter is almost right aaaaand that's all...

IMG_20220316_212200 IMG_20220316_222219

So who go you call ??

IMG_20220316_211152

I still will try to resist.... :rofl2:

So, I'll find a way...

And some other decals for Sandy....

More to come soon !!

Sincerely.

All I wanna do, is have some fun....

But it did'nt work the way I wanted....

I waited to glue the engine cowling in order to save the overpainting on the exhaust stubs... BUT....

If you remember, I rectified the undersized engine cowling......:evil_laugh::evil_laugh::evil_laugh:

And here's the result of the whole mess....

IMG_20220318_223209

Once again, AA brain is on....

The best option to hide these gaps...

Is to extend the cooling flaps... Just like the real thing.... You stupid CC...

You should have think about it sooner.....

Well, more to come soon....

I also have to repair an U/C leg that I found broken in the box....

Aaaaah the fun of these old kit.... Stashed for years....

Have a great modelling week end !!

Sincerely.

IMG_20220320_232926 IMG_20220320_232915

Look Gents,

I really love the old Monogram kits, really...

Having a lot of it is a kid's dream that turned true !!

But, modelling has changed... and it mean a lot...

Then old boxes of kit present also a lot of surprises....

Here's a bad one....

IMG_20220323_232125

The peg that must receive the wheel is missing.....

Look like a short shot but, whatever, it's another setback for the AD-4NA....

Trying to fix it now... Since it will bear the model's weight, I cannot use a bit of sprue....

Calling for a friend....

Albion alloy maybe ???

IMG_20220323_232745

I found the right diameter....

Now, drilling the U/C leg with great care...

I'm still under the Monogram brittle plastic trauma....

IMG_20220323_233340

I'll try to finis it this evening, we'll see...

Now on a more funny note...

I'm glad that my friend @The Spadgent has sourced some blue Chimay in U.K

So, here's the place to visit if you'll spend some days on here...

 

IMG_20220324_132745

 

IMG_20220324_132758

We can say that the monks knew how to choose the nice and right place for having an abbey.....

I was badly in need of calm and serenity.... (However serenity for me is a bit exxagerated)

IMG_20220324_133008 IMG_20220324_133308

Here's the birthplace of the Chimay beers...

Nowadays, only the 500 grande reserve is brewed here.... 

They have a bigger production line outside the abbey, at a mere 8kms apart...

As it is still a abbey and all the production of both beer and cheese is still carefully overwatched by the monks,

There are no bar or restaurant for the public intra muros...

But.... After a short walk through the forest....

There is the "Espace Chimay"

So my Dear Spad !!

Cheers from Mrs CC and me !!

IMG_20220324_142815

These cheese are really tasty.... Not the way french cheese are.... The old fashioned one taste a bit like an old Cheddar....

And my beloved wife taste a Chimay for the first time of her life....

The Golden one but a Chimay nonetheless !!

More to come soon !!

Sincerely.

Of course you can !!

As I used to say, if a BMer is coming down here, I'll be glad to spice up his stay in foo... Belgium !!

From museum to monuments and delicate beverage tasting sessions.... 😇😇

And that can be labelled prayers....

The way we can pretend to be perfect god's lamb.....:whistle::whistle:

Hello Gents ii

Let's call the Leg saved !!

IMG_20220325_213827

Not necessary of showing a pic of a leg shaved or unshaved....

So, AD has legs now... Not standing on it yet, I let it cure a bit... Who Know !!

Every parts are now glued in...

Weathering time now !!!:yahoo::yahoo:

I fell back in my Mustangery.... It's Giorgio's fault....

As if I need an incentive to go from a kit to another one....😇

Oil dotting in a near future !!

Oh !! about dotting, see that !!

IMG_20220325_151323

White and yellow dotting with flowers... Walking the dog on here is a pleasure for the eyes...

Sincerely.

Thanks my Dear Spad...

Just a tip if you store some blue Chimay... Always let it up, do not laid the bottle on its lenght....

Because of the moulds... You can keep a blue for 3 to 5 years... But shhht !! 

 

Well, time now for oil dotting !!!

IMG_20220330_212708

I'm always a bit scary when I do that.... 

Even if I know that there are no risks....

Inner part of the wing done

IMG_20220330_213135

The difference is subtle but it give a deeper hue !!

 

Have fun in modelling !!

Exhaust stains will come soon !!

Well, my son told me that I showed  pics before and after... And then ??

Sound advice from a would be modeller...

So here's a pic in between...

IMG_20220331_212017

When I blended al the plaint with a flat brush, I let it dry a bit, around 30 min...

And then, I clean a bit with a paper towel, always in the direction of the relative wind for an aircraft...

from prow to stern as we stay in Naval World !!

One scan it and got the full choice on his Cell phone....

Next step, if one is in a hurry, he should order from the cell and pay for in an eye blink...

Mad world huh ??

So, no need for humans anymore huh? We have become disposables.

 

I guess from a wife's perspective this could be something convenable - no longer the husband starring at the beautiful waitress "twins"!!!

Great save on the undercarriage leg CC and what a lovely little pussy cat too.  

Hope Mrs CC enjoyed her Chimay and cheeses and you too of course.

 

Now why would you want to keep beer for 5 years CC, it needs to be drunk !!!

 

Will pop over to RFI now.

Most monastic beers get a better taste after 3 years. For example, St. Arnoldus, Vondel, Corsendok, etc. In fact, some of them for this purpose have a layer yeast.

 

But, yes, I agree, when you have good company and some delicious "hors d'oeuvres" why wait?

A Blue Chimay can stay 5 years in a cellar, especially the 75cl ones...

If you need a good cleaning of your internal piping, drink the yeast....

No sickness, Guess how I know it....

No wonder why our dear @Martian call it Rocket fuel....:beer:

  • corsaircorp changed the title to Able Dogs's Nest, AD-4 and A-1 H, then A-1J and two AD-4W....

Here we are....

I must push forward on the Esci Kits....

Because, if I work on the Tamiya first.... The Esci's will become bench queens.....

Finally, I will use my old trick on the engine cowlings....

IMG_20230407_231324

One of the kits has surely been badly stocked... the plastic break like gless....

See the cowling...and every part is likewise....

IMG_20230407_230850

General shap is quite good...

The canary one will need 2 side blisters.... 

Mmmmmh, I think that one of my Avengers will become an organs donor

More to come soon.....
