I'm liking the look of the Hornet and I think, I need one in my collection but do I go for 48th my current preferred scale or do a jump back to 72nd scale?

Then, which kit and which unit? Too many questions! Just hopping over to the Hannant's site to see what is available...

No beer my friend !! Weiss Wein !! 

 

Me too, And that's the reason why I changed the paint scheme...

I was bound to use the original Hasegawa paint scheme,

but it is the press show paint scheme, pristine brand new super Bug..... How boring.....

The one I'll use is more operational and the ragged Jolly Roger is far more attractive....

See you later !!

Sincerely.

IMG_20241028_002159

Then, some paint....

And a bit more painting....

IMG_20241108_214525

This will almost be the only bright spot of the whole plane....

Yup, I'll pay a tribute to the low viz "colours"

Amazing Huh ??

I wish a great SMW for all the ones attending.....

Sad week end for me since I can't attend this year...:raincloud::raincloud:

Sincerely.

-Guiness, Sauerkraut and Trippel, it is a real treat, only pink elephant are missing, even if some strange figure appear in the guinness, enough to forget this poor Maverick, but when I see what you are doing on his beloved Hornet I'm not worried about it

-After covid, brexit and the age coming , my days in Telford SMW are sadly over as well 😪, I attended the event since the last Donnington show and the first one in Telford.....

-But I have this excellent Islay peated beverage to help my memory.....
