This I know from nothing. My dad was a heating engineer and Mrs F seems to assume that such knowledge and skill is therefore part of my genetic inheritance. Somewhat in the face of 30+ years of evidence to the contrary she still therefore expects me to diagnose and fix any and all problems with our central heating. She seems oblivious to the perpetual disappointment this dooms her to. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, she has a stuffed bat and, get ready, octopus on her wall. She has a 12 foot tall skeleton as a Halloween decoration for the front yard. I could on, but you get the idea.

The kit part was blobby and didn't fit the wheel so some drilling required: Looking like we're nearing the end. 20 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If were playing Dad Was mine, bless him, was a hairdresser with abilities and diplomas in hair for both genders at his fingertips. I am dangerous even with my own safety razor, human hair is definitely not a substance which can safely be left in my charge...

CedB Posted January 5 Author Share Posted January 5 Thanks John, Adrian, Ian, Simon, Keith and Phil. Transfers. Took me some time to work out why I had some things on the bench but soon back into the rhythm… Stencils, hate 'em, so let's do this first: The camera zoom comes in handy for my poor old eyes. Spot the deliberate mistake: …which, thanks to a zoom after applying it, I was able to correct before it settled. Port fuselage complete: The fin transfer is in one piece; easier to align I guess but harder to apply. I had planned to do the top of the wings as well but then I noticed the walkway stripes and decided to have a bit of a lie down… 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
