Terry1954 Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 I've just found this thread CC, and I am so very sorry to hear of loss of your mother and father like that. I hope my late condolences will suffice. My thoughts are with you and your family. But it is good that your hobby provides some distraction at a difficult time like this. And this gentleman has a point you know! On 8/29/2021 at 12:19 PM, Martian said: Don't forget to keep one of those Tempests back for a Target Tug version.

Martian Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Remember CC, what makes Britmodeller different from other modelling sites is that we are a community and look out for each other. I will give you a call over the next few days to see how you are doing. Concerned of Mars👽 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this gentleman has a point you know! Very best regards Terry Thanks terry, Modelling help me a lot, and all the kind words received from Bm'ers is a greater help indeed. Now, This Gentleman has been reassured, Tempest #4 will be a nice one with black stripes over yellow.... Or is this yellow stripes over black belly ??? That's quite an important point to talk about.... More to come soon !! CC 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corsaircorp Posted October 8, 2021 Author Share Posted October 8, 2021 Hello Dears, What's better to distract a CC from boringly stenciling a Phantom ??? Stencilling a Tempest.... I'm dreaming of stencils.... Here are some news from 2 days ago... Painting anti glare panel and walkways... Next time you stupid CC do the walkways BEFORE spraying the HSS Then the prop !! And I turned myself as Jar Jar bink preparing the Ka boom.... as we are Hawkerizing, see what I found on the web.... Lord, save me from myself, I ordered another Airfix Hurricane..... Stay safe Gents !! And happy modelling week end to you all !! CC 2 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even in pictures it makes me nervous. 😬 Take care dear boy. Johnny 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gift, exchange is okay but retail, I did it once to please SWMBO, a 1/72 B-36 gone for 20 €.... The Airfix EA-6A, five years to find a Kinetic one at a good price... @BS103 is selling kits from time to time, just to bought it again some months later.... I blame my friend Chris and Tony for the return of the Hairy stick Thanks for the support Gents... Flory time is coming. CC 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandy Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 I've only just caught up on this thread, so my (very late) condolences on losing your parents my friend. Sometimes people are just too close to carry on alone - my great grandmother called an ambulance when her husband passed, and when it arrived less than 30 minutes later she had passed too! Nice work on the Tempest though! Ian 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corsaircorp Posted October 9, 2021 Author Share Posted October 9, 2021 Hello Dears, Another stoopid comparison... Both 3 have been designed to clear the skies from ennemy... The size of both the Sparrow and the Sidewinder beside the tempest.... See, no problem with masking on Alclad... Now, let Alclad cure for at least 36 Hrs.... Oh Thank you Captain Obvious !!

corsaircorp Posted October 10, 2021 Author Share Posted October 10, 2021 Hello Dears, I have a good and a bad new.... Let's start with the bad one.... Dog hair alert !!!!! I tried a saving but did'nt look great... I will repaint the panel.... With all the decals around... I should have let it there, it was barely visible.... Now the good one, I paid a visit to my friend @BS103 He recently moved back from his home at the german border... And I receive this great gift... Well, it's tempting.... Is'nt it ?? I hope that you all enjoyed a sunny sunday afternoon... Stay safe !! CC 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbadbadge Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 What a shame about the dog hair CC, I am sure you will sort out. What a lovely gift from your friend, the Sea Vixen is a great kit. Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corsaircorp Posted October 13, 2021 Author Share Posted October 13, 2021 Hello Dears, Some news from the front... Decals are done for the Tempest !! And I fixed the dog hair incident in Chris and Tony's way... Hairy stick once again... It look quite right to me !! Now a thin coat of varnish and on with Flory... I now have a coat since it happen that Flory wash tend to get the tiny decals out... Have a great modelling time !! Sincerely. CC 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff G Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 That is one of my favourite comparisons - sidewinder next to a Tempest. If that had happened.....boy would that have ended the war early. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
