PhantomBigStu Posted January 1 Author Share Posted January 1 (edited) Guess who watched topgun last night, so rather than the spitfire conversion this was originally, it’ll be another from the paused pile Edited January 1 by PhantomBigStu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adm Lord De Univers Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Oh no! But would a diorama like this fix it? https://airandspace.si.edu/multimedia-gallery/nasm-9a00430-sjpg David Ps. By 'fix', I mean 'hide'... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomBigStu Posted January 30 Author Share Posted January 30 F-14 is awaiting the dustman tommorow, unfortuantly the replacement leading edge I'd scratched broke off when sanding and I noticed there was also a a big bit of the fin missing not in the draw it was living so my temper took over, got nothing that hasn't got a thread already aside from Hasegawa mustang I cracked back on with after seeing Jean's kuta mustang and I started an airfix one saturdays so they can take this thread forward. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jean Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Hi Stu, well done and I m glad my Mustang made you start your own. Can you believe that it is the very first Mustang I have ever built?
