AliGauld Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Hi there, After my previous WIP I wanted to go for something much smaller and simpler. So here we have... I'm using these transfers to model the aircraft of Capt. Reager of the Yoxford Boys. Of course that may change, but don't tell anyone. We don't want any litigation. More later. Cheers, Alistair 12 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Settle yourself in one of the comfy chairs but keep an eye out for The Spanish Inquisition. I don't know whether to expect them.

Marklo Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 It’s a nice kit should be a good mojo restorer. I just have to add ( even though a huge Monty Python fan) that apparently the Spanish Inquisition made appointments way ahead of time, years even . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billn53 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 I'll be getting started on my Airfix Mustang soon (for my Wisconsin ANG triple-build), so I hope you don't mind if I take a seat on the front row! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah but that was only if they had a decent supply of cushions. 😉 Cheers, Alistair 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2996 Victor Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Hi Alistair, I'll come along for the ride as well, if I may? I've brought my own chair..... I've got a few of these Mustangs in my stash - don't tell my better half - and I've just made a surreptitious start on one of them. So far so good, but I'm always looking for hints and tips so I'll watch your build progress. As for Amorous Len, that's hilarious! I couldn't believe it to begin with, but its even on Barracuda's own page as Amorous Len III - I love that the "GL" and "G" are bonuses. It's a bit like, "Yeah, you can use 'em if you want!" Looking forward to seeing your progress. Cheers, Mark 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked at the Transfers for this numerous times until I realised that the bonus ones were actually on the sheet. It was then I pulled the trigger and bought them.

I believe she has form for this, allegedly. Cheers, Alistair 2 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Alistair ha ha, I'd guess'd you knew and it did make me smile, I always though it odd that it was "Glamorous Glenn" and not "Glamorous Glennis"? surely painting "is" couldn't have been too much trouble although I'm sure the ground crew were quite busy. 😋 rgds John(shortCummins) 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnT Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 One is reminded of Jeremy Clarksons article in the Sunday Times earlier this year. As he said one should never meet ones heroes. He concluded the article by saying that there are two types of people in the world. Those who hero worship him and those who have met him. a sense of it here https://www.express.co.uk/celebrity-news/1371988/Jeremy-Clarkson-top-gear-Chuck-Yeager-death-the-right-stuff-conflicted-hero-news-latest If I recall correctly Eric Brown and Neil Armstrong were not in the fan club either but I could be wrong on that. Still he has some record to his name. And its with searching against a certain surname while adding vexatious litigant to it. More court cases than air to air kills there. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2996 Victor Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Sorry for the thread hijack, Alistair, I was just wondering if anyone can recommend some colour pics or drawings of the P-51D cockpit for reference for detail painting controls etc?
