Hello, hello Ladies and Gentlemen... :bye:

Yesterday, I had a bit of bench time....

But I must say that this model is more urgent....

IMG_20221120_164430

My good old peanut is playing with my nerves....

On we are for a cylinder head gasket.....:raincloud:

On the other front, I'm including the Flightpath kit in the Hobbycraft Sea Fury....

And I'll search a bit more for the paint scheme.....

IMG_20221120_230804

The plan is to build the hobbycraft and Trumpy ones in between the Airfix ones....

That's a way to avoid being bored ....

At least, trying to.....

See you later Gents for more Furies.....

Sincerely.

hello Dears....

Another setback... I was looking for the right paint scheme

Since I want to do an aircraft from the first war cruise of HMS Glory....

Airfix boxing gave one but it does'nt look right to me....:unsure::wall:

 

Tail short shot is fixed....

IMG_20221123_212832

But I must confess that this 1/1 model take a lot of my time and energy....:hanging:

IMG_20221124_155341

I also created a bracket to install the gunsight...

But working on my Tempest I noticed this.....

IMG_20221125_223301

Another Airfix glitch that will be fixed by Eduard.... :rofl2::rofl2:

Have a great modelling time Gents !!

And stay safe....

Sincerely.

Nice work on the Sea Furies CC, looking good. Hope you are now feeling better and get the motor sorted out okay.

 

Chris

Thanks Chris,

Cylinder head must go on rectification....

So tomorrow, it will be cleaning up....

IMG_20221126_234548

Ready for primer...

And stripes....:unamused::unamused:

I'll adress the gunsight problem later...

It let me a bit of time to find a valid pic of the first HMS Glory Korean war cruise.....

Then, I still have 4 more Sea Furiesto build....

No worries mate, I'll not be bored.....

Sincerely.

I feel your pain CC ... very different motor though! Low compression on #3. Cylinder bore and new rings I think. Been faithful for 5 years though!

Hello Gents !!

I know, I spend a lot of time on ponies....

But this Lady received some attentions too....

IMG_20221220_220057

There will be a RFI soon with a Mustang....

The second (5th in fact) is on the paint booth too, but I think that the Korean Sea fury will find her way in between !!:wicked::wicked:

I always need to get back to sailor's aircrafts :wicked::wicked:

Have a great Christmas time !!

And enjoy modelling !!

Sincerely.

Gents Ooooh Gents !!!

As I told to @2996 Victor, Kalina has been caught red handed :rofl2::rofl2:

 

IMG_20221221_192108

See @Martian, kitty is keeping watch on my FA-18....

But, Hey listen...

The last adventure of CC....

Today, I got to the hospital with my son, post surgery control.....

Everything went fine and I was chatting with the nurses....

At a moment, they talk about the Scyalitic lamp, asking if the new one arrived ??

I start kidding, telling them, "Hey, don't throw that one away, I'm a modeller and this will really be helpfull"

Aaaaaand....

Here we are !!

 

IMG_20221221_144821

I asked twice if they are serious ???

Then what about the guard at the gate ??

She said don't you worry about that, I'll ring them.....

So... imagine a CC carrying this heavy piece of medical material...

And getting out with it....

I just have to fix the light on the pole.....

:pray::pray: And now, that's a magnifier....

now @bigbadbadge and @The Spadgent.....

That's a gift... I'll bring her a box of chocolates next time.....

:nodding::nodding: @giemme will not believe it....

Sincerely.

Scyalitic lamp

Also it’s a good time of year to get one. The scary thing is, when you first turn one on you think “this is waaay too bright”, and later you realise you’ve been modelling in semi-darkness for months!

 

Nice Fury action!

Just noticed the Special Hobby Boomerang and Wirraway in the background. Snap! I have them in my stash, too, and looking forward to them reaching the top :) 

 

Cheers,
