Tremendous sound for sure !!!

Modellers lesson #1

Stop gluing parts when SWMBO come to argue with you.....

Unless one can got this.....

No way to swear since she can think that it is for her......

I bought that boxing for exactly the same reason after I found out that the eduard LIMITED the Ultimate Tempest didn't have Firedog markings, such a shame to have two of these kits :rolleyes:

Hello Gentle peoples scratching bits of plastic....

Firedog #2 is on its way....

IMG_20221204_000656

Just a advice, Glue on the tiny bits in the cockpit before button it up.....

If you wait until the destructions gave you a go....

That will be pretty funny....

On the same way.....

Glue the stub fiduring the gun's muzzle while the parts are still on the sprue....

IMG_20221204_004519

The parts are so tiny, they oftenly get away while one manipulate the sprue.....

Guess how I know it....:facepalm::facepalm:

Have a great modelling sunday !!

Stay safe...

Oh Alain, there is no helping you. “The modelling gods made me do it.”  I need to see you at Telford I can only imagine what kits you might buy.😵💫😉😀

Im so sorry that I only just caught up with this thread. I didn’t notice you had asked about the decal, luckily you found one. 
I don’t know why but sometimes the “my activities” tab just misses some threads, either that or I’m just getting old. 🤣

Either way? Fantastic work and wise words about not glueing when SWMBO comes a questioning. 😆 The amount of times this has happened. 😆

I think I might still have some flashes that size, would you like them? If you do let me know but send a PM so I definitely get the message. Btw did you notice the BM snow on the logo? Ahhhh I love this time of year. 
 

Take care sir.

Thanks Johnny !!

Fin flash fixed, thanks for the offer !!

I think that I overthrow the activity tab :rofl2::rofl2:

When I log in to Britmodeller, The server cry " Oh No no, not him again....":wicked::wicked:

We also have snow here... First of the year....

IMG_20221205_114105

Already melting however....

Pretty glad to be at rest .... For us on the roadside, snow is a fierce foe.....

Especially when it is combined with stupids....:bandit:. Was'nt there, did'nt say that.....

Definitely beyond help CC🤪 nice to get another one and did Mrs CC argue as she had discovered this kit being snuck in ???

Looks a great kit, hmm maybe one day 🤔 

Good progress .

Chris

 

:rofl2::rofl2::rofl2:

Well tried Chris, well tried....

She's sure that I got this kit for months....

For Mrs CC arguing is something like breathing....

A bare necessity and I'm not the best guy around....

The time being is far from joyfull so there are so many occasion to blame me :facepalm::facepalm::facepalm:

Are you married or am I the only one to be blamed for all and nothing ???

:rofl2::rofl2:

These Eduard and SH kits are a treat for modellers.... Try one, You'll buy a second one

Mk V or Mk II equally delightfull !!

Sincerely.

IMG_20221221_224637

So, there will be 4 syringe gun muzzles :shrug::shrug:

Whatever ??

Have a great modelling time....

Sincerely.

Ah CC you've had a Tempestuous time of it there but carried through with your stoical humour as always - I agree with Giorgio about the wisdom of your decision. Sometimes a setback is just a detour to something better looking!

 

Happy a Christmas to you as well, hope you're off the road and getting a chance to put your feet up.

Sure it is my Dear Baron !!

Sometimes, I need this kind of sting to wake me up from an insidious lethargy....:shrug::shrug:

 

Well, I'm in in evening work day...

Saturday, I'll work until 2230 and Sunday back on the road at 0700.....

Only the old foxes can do this... The younger ones are too fragile.....:rofl2:

Tempest interior is about done now....

Now that’s an accomplished cockpit Alain.  And we do like an accomplished cockpit :D (sounds a bit dodgy that, on reflection :whistle:)

Thanks my friend !!

And amazingly, save for the oxygen hose, it is OOB....
