Hi Dennis . I couldn't understand the shipping options as i could get shipping for Deepest Mongolia but not UK  . Jamie must have disabled UK option as a way of stopping orders  while on holiday . He may well be flooded with orders from Mongolia

I will place my order now .

Cheers Alistair

I am missing the "car door" off the sprue of my 1/32 Revell  1B Typhoon !  Does anyone have one in their spare parts or reclaim box ?

The Colourcoats RAF tropical paints have arrived . I must say Sovereign hobbies provide a very good service . Once again ,a thank you to Dennis for his recommendation .

Little did i realize how much work was still needed to the wings before i could feel them ready to attach to the fuselage , Landing lights were a poor fit as were the wing tip lights . I replaced these with some scrap plastic . 

 

Any way wings are now secured .

The fit was excellent so damage to raised rivet detail is minimal .

 

I also replaced the light for some clear plastic behind the cockpit . 20mm cannons replaced with some resin ones .

 

The only filler needed is tucked away where dead rivets will hide in shame

Just some final preparation before the external painting commences.

 

Thanks for looking

Cheers Alistair

I'm glad that Colourcoats came through for you, I've not had any problems with them, and the Typhoon is definately begining to look the part.

And Biggles7 I'm afraid that I don't have any scrap doors.

 

Cheers
