Three weeks ago I brought the exquisite Aeroclub Canberra from a trader for £39 including P&P, the Airfix RRP is £41, it's a no brainer for me. However you probably can find the Airfix one cheaper, but would take some digging about to get the Aeroclub one any cheaper I think. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started with something easy for saving the sooo thin corner of the wing... And Oooooh Look 'ma !! Ejector pins... In the flaps, I'll not take care of the ones in the wing... Now, the biggest problem... I don't know if I have to laugh, or take my head in my hands and start crying... Wish me good luck, I'll make something crazy... Who said "As usual" ??? I glued the 2 halves of the nose pod and glued it on the nose... Then !! start the chain saw... Note that the window is asymetric... Huh !! Where will be the fun ?? I will cut the pod in 3 parts, add the bits inside and we will see... Cunning or not, a plan is a plan... The bulge of the pod is also totally wrong... Still scratching my head... I was in bad need of inspiration... So @perdu's way was the best one... I look very concentrated indeed !! Now, Martin Baker ?? If I do not find the ones I need in my stock ??? Whatever... Covid or not, belgians keep some common sens More to come soon !! Sincerely. CC 3 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martian Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 I see you have adopted the Martian policy of ordering two pints at once to cut down on queing time: very sensible!

A bat up the nighty? Kinky stuff! Sounds more like the sort of thing General Melchett would be interested in. Don't listen to Chally CC. Remember the story of Dr Heinkel and the Bumble Bee. 🐝 According to Dr Heinkel, the laws of aerodynamics state that the bumble bee cannot fly. But, ignorant of this fact, the bumble bee does fly. So I say that it is sometimes better to be the bumble bee than Dr Heinkel. You, the bumble bee, will make a fine job of this kit regardless of the percieved wisdom that it is pants.

corsaircorp Posted August 21, 2020 Author Share Posted August 21, 2020 Hello Dears, Thank you @The Spadgent, see here !! Well on the 20th of August 2000, I met Mrs CC for the first time !! We so had a good reason for some rest and recreation !! 20 years that she had a lot of reasons to turn mad on my behalf... I asked her to book an hotel room for us, She did so but there has been a problem... She then book another one... We first paid a visit to a great museum of the life in the Ardennes... And she found her future car... Well, we then told the barman to be prepared for the visit of a @Martian ambassador, they say that they are ready to go.... A 200l pint will calm down any martian... We'll see !! Back to the hotel room story... Yes Dears Yes !! it is not a shark.... An hotel room located in between the runway and hangars.... It was a dream for me !! Now, I wonder why we have an australian registered light plane here, in the middle of the Belgian Ardennes... Surely for the beer methink !! There was this one too... Target Hooops sorry Martian, Glider towing... Well Gents !! It was great !! Ah !! A bit of modelling ?? Look James @71chally, I started to cook your bat.... I just hope that it will not be an undercooked one.... The Martian cockpiterry has been an incentive, so I look at my own interior !! Sitting on here is surely a pain in the A... But, such a huge space under the seats... Why for ???? Ballast was my first thought !! Here we go... If you have friends that sell tyres... Get some of these.... I'll stack some on here, Airfix ask for 100 Grs... That mean 10 of .38 special... I use a plan B... But I still stick to plan A !! I will not put all the ballast in just one place... This morning, It was breakfast (Continental one alas) in looking at a Cub towing some gliders!!! Mmmmh tomorrow, My missus has some things to do for me... Have a great modelling week end... For my part, I'll try to !! Sincerely. CC 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll better ask her, if she decide to came up with BS103 and me on SMW'21... AkA the Canberra's invasion... Or as we are now in film making mood, the return of the Canberras ??

Better than nothing !! I used the Patricia Lynn nose to engrave night hawk one... Look like a coded message...

Biggles87 Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Belated happy anniversary from me too. I see you use spent ammunition for nose weights also, one of the guys at our club has a very old french rifle which uses 11mm ammunition which is much longer than the usual rounds so quite heavy. I don’t find too many because he re-loads his ammunition, and digs them out of the sand when he’s finished. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And make that hobby a bit less expensive ! 11 mm, waow that surely shot a bit... Mine are unused .38 special, but I stopped shooting years ago, I saved a box for modelling purposes... I also have some .44 somewhere in workshop, but it is not so easy to use.. Sincerely. CC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
