corsaircorp Posted November 21, 2022 Author Share Posted November 21, 2022 Hello, hello Ladies and Gentlemen... Yesterday, I had a bit of bench time.... But I must say that this model is more urgent.... My good old peanut is playing with my nerves.... On we are for a cylinder head gasket..... 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..... 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.

corsaircorp Posted November 25, 2022 Author Share Posted November 25, 2022 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.... Tail short shot is fixed.... But I must confess that this 1/1 model take a lot of my time and energy.... I also created a bracket to install the gunsight... But working on my Tempest I noticed this..... Another Airfix glitch that will be fixed by Eduard.... Have a great modelling time Gents !! And stay safe.... Sincerely.

As I told to @2996 Victor, Kalina has been caught red handed 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 !! 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..... 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..... @giemme will not believe it.... Sincerely. CC 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
