Two weeks ago I see from my home window on the street gentleman in shorts and a T-shirt sipping beer and eating ice cream, the temperature was outside +8~+10C 😲....when I was little I ate ice cream when the street was frost -5 ~ -10C, it’s uncomfortable ... my lips can freeze to the ice cream, 😁😁so I was not surprised this gentleman with ice cream .... but drink it with beer ?????😲😲 B.R.

I do not claim authorship of this cocktail, but a mix of vodka or cognac + juice mango or pineapple or orange + ice cream was very popular with us in my student days. But important, ice-cream need milk, (milk butter cream) ...hardly translate...I don't know West analogue this type ice-cream. 1 hour ago, Enzo Matrix said: Dammit! Now I'm hungry again... 😉 B.R.

Aardvark Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Next chance get a ticket to Siberia! This ejection seat is not from a kit it is a white metal ejection seat from Maintrack with a photoetched. Now you know what ejection seat is installed in my interceptor! Most likely there will be no more tips! Well, does anyone finally guess the interceptor? B.R. Serge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, MB.Mk.2 or 3 was different, in addition, he didn’t do the Maintrack; they put MB Mk.4 in all their sets! Also MB.Mk.2 install* in my Swift: but this MB. Mk.4 not install in my "No name" interceptor! 😉 So what do you know? This is an interceptor, with a British engine, with a British ejection seat MB Mk.4, with side air intakes through which the engine is partially visible, with a strange control knob. Not enough data to analyze? B.R. Serge _____________ * - b.w. combination MB.Mk.2 from Quickboost & photoetched from Eduard very hard to install to cockpit Swift from Airfix! No separate all good! MB.Mk.2 from Quickboost good install in original cocpit from Airfix or original ejection seat MB.Mk.2 from Airfix improved with Eduard photoetched good install to original Airfix cockpit improved with Eduard photoetched, but when MB.Mk.2 from Quickboost install to cocpit from Airfix improved with Eduard photoetched it's horror!

trickyrich Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Yaaaaaaa!!!!! Col goes to Siberia on an all expense paid holiday!!! @Aardvark Serge can you please make sure he's back home buy yh 18th of January as he's Co-host for the Scandi GB. Though if you like you can leave him there if you want to Co-host with me?? Today the western part of Sydney was the hottest place on earth....49.5C (121F)!!! A couple of years ago I was working in NW Aust and at 11am it was 53C (127F), night time it dropped to a cool 38C (100F), we had that sort of temp for over a week! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klr Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Count me in. It could be anything from the Airfix Sopwith Camel to the Trumpeter Shenyang "Finback-B". Actually, my kit of the Camel is that boxing from the late 1980s of Lt. Stuart Culley, who shot down a Zeppelin. So that is definitely interceptor material. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
