I do want to build one of these in the B.o.B. GN*A Markings. https://i.imgur.com/MpkjLiy.jpg

I will get a start on this one soon, I have a couple of others on the bench that are more of a priority

I am slowly sorting out that wing root, it has been primed and reworked. The engines are primed as well now. There will be a bunch of masking when the wings and engines are painted because of the bare metal finish.

I retrieve my Airfix boxing of the PM Sea Fury from box "C" in the garage (thank goodness for spreadsheets!) and dry fitted some parts: It looks the part and matches the profile very well. I like the restrained panel lining, although I will sand back some of the more textured areas, and I will consign the crude undercarriage, stores and cowling/propeller to the spares bin. I have to construct a new cowling, propeller and radiators, and adjust the fin and rudder shape. I have just bought another PM kit and will make the Griffon engine version too, which will be a lot easier if Peter can find the engine he has so generously offered to me. Now I'm going to forget about the Fury until the "Project Cancelled GB" starting in June, and concentrate on my more immediate builds! Regards, Adrian

Not a film or tv, but I found this on Youtube, the 70th VJ Day commemoration. Recites the poem very well, doesn't he?

Just one thing: release this family in 1/72, I can wait.

Consolidated Mess apparently does have this information. Or some of it. @Graham Boak whose just refound his copy maybe able to confirm? True of many types.

Thanks.. I have a few decals from Aztec that I think can be adapted to fit.

Looking brilliant! With a bit of finesse as you’ve shown here, these Frog kits really build up into something that holds up to modern standards.

I dunno - if you stand far enough back and squint ...

Thanks so much Colin. I’ve messaged you my address.

and drifting into Cbs

“Land” might be a bit too optimistic a term for what will happen at the bottom of the slope! 😄 That said, I remember seeing a HUD video from an F-16 that managed to make a dead stick landing on an uncontrolled civilian airfield, dodging a Beechcraft Bonanza on final in the process. It took place in the mid-80s. Ben

Alistair, Lovely build and finish and a pleasure to follow along. I shall bank the use of yellow to lighten OD, and make no comment whatsoever on your use of Starship Filth, other than to say I may have seen that movie on VHS many years ago, Cheers, Roger

There are a lot of smashing albums on this thread! I'll be (re) visiting quite a few, I think. Although I wouldn't have said EDM/pop was necessarily my thing, Robyn, Body Talk and Honey are all pretty solid albums. And Art Pop certainly isn't my thing but Caroline Polachek's Desire is my album of the year. Other albums that refuse to get out of my regular playlist: Blood on the Tracks Hunky Dory The Black Parade Regards, Adrian

I've seen the monochrome originals and am usually quite disappointed with colorization. This version was quite moving.

I had a picture (I wish I could find it!) of 5 Union Pacific diesel locomotives fresh out of the paint shop wearing Armour Yellow and Harbor Mist Grey. No two of them had the exact same shade of yellow.

It sounds like you're having a real time of it lately Dave, I hope they get to the nub of it soon. More positively, your DH4 is a cracker & looks really good with the Dark Earth on it, a very convincing PC10. Steve.

Hello there, A quick update on the latest days: The decals were applied in two stages, first the silver stripes, then the sponsors. Although the decals are of exceptional quality, the complexity of the cars' shapes and my experience in this field meant that I had a few difficulties, but the result is still very satisfactory. The front wing The main body The whole will dry for 2 days (to allow the decals to evaporate completely) and then receive its coat of semi-gloss varnish, which should dry for 5 days. That's all for tonight Best regards Vincent

Indeed it does, thanks. Very useful. All the sanding and filing has taken its toll on the surface detail and panel lines. It's taking me a while to re-scribe those, but i hope to join the wing and fuse soon to have a go at the leading edge wing root shaping. Its partially done but can't really finish it until the 2 major parts are together. The guns are causing a bit of a headache but I think I've found a way. Will update soon. cheers Rob

Cuz if it starts with an "A" It will be the first name you see in the phone book( I know I just dated myself),unless of course you're named Aardvark For the children reading this, a phone book was what you used when you wanted to look up a telephone number A lot easier than ringing up the operator and asking for directory assistance. THINK manually operated Google. At you finger tips no less. What's that you say... What's an Operator and what's Directory assistance? What do I look like your Grandfather?(don't answer that) Giddottahere ya brats!

Opuss, another find build—everything is well done and variation/weathering of the underside is a unique stand out for me—best, Erwin

Thank you Chris, I'm verry pleased by your comment, because it's my first f1 kit ever Thanks mate, I hope my build will help or inspire you

Quite a few of them! If your $ stretch to a decal sheet FCM does a sheet for F-80s from Brazil and Uruguay and Aztec does one for F-86s from Argentina, Bolivia, Honduras, Peru, Venezuela and Puerto Rico

Looks fantastic with the decals applied and the great paintwork. Cracking job Chris
