Looking good mate!

Yeah that makes a lovely looking convertible.

If it is the same as the Lanc then presumably black? Kind Regards Pat.

Ooooooo nice, great job Alistair, looking good. Chris

More great work Loren!

Yes. By the look of the sprue diagram on the PDF of the distructions, the doors are there, just crossed out. Remove the pressurisation intake on the nose. It just depends on the glazing, as the XVI had revised framing due to the pressurisation. The glazing of the B.IX is identical to that of the B.IV. I have no doubt that they'll release a B.IX at some point.

Thank you; indeed, the position of the swastika is truly strange (and obsolete).

Absolutely superb CC, great work and really great to see some brush painting too. Looks wonderful . Chris

I'll think of something soon. It's fine if Mr Tempestfan thinks of one in the meantime though... 🙂

That’s a fantastic restoration, Keith! I think it’s exactly the sort of update that would be done to a 1:1 example in the same 60s condition. Your paint colour and finish look superb and I love the interior and underside details you’ve added. An all round triumph, I’d say! Martin

Huge improvement Gary, neat work! Keith

Hmmm... Would Planet Models produce DB 605 nacelles for VL Vihuri? Cheers, AaCee

Having checked with the relevant Form 78, it was with the Overseas Ferry Unit at the time the photo was taken (Nov. 1950), being taken on by them on 23/9/50. Didn't realise that they even had a badge. Could it be the Transport Command badge?

I just remember my dad and I building this back in the 80's At the time he was working at Bandiana army camp in Northern Victoria Australia. So one afternoon after we finished the kit, he took me to the base Museum (Still there a must see for anyone in or visiting Australia). and with contacts he and one of his mates took me out in a running Daimler SC. Absolutely brilliant experience for a kid in high school then Later after he retired after 40 years in the RAA (1954 to 1994) he took up a position as a curator in that very museum Did mean I got to go a LOT more often 🤣 Vale Pararigger 20 WO1 Gordon J Andrews RAA Ordnance Corps 1st Australian Logistics Support Coy Neil

Hi! Nail files, uv-hardening nail polish and need to experiment more with nail acrylics and powders. Cheers, AaCee

Thanks James! I went for the new H&S Evolution CR plus. Speaking of paint, I managed a good session at the bench today. The joy of working with the MRP range is that they dry so quickly which allowed me to not only spray the airframe, but I was able to mask off and spray various vents, the leading edge of the wings along with the lights and fuel dump vent. [/url]DSCF5542 I did however run out of Light Gull Grey so I'll have to wait until a new bottle arrives before I can paint the fuel tanks and pylons 😶. Hoping to get a couple of coats of gloss on around work over the next few days with the aim of getting the decals done on Friday. Might make the deadline . Dave

Great build of a beautiful ship. Very scale looking, thanks for sharing. Rod

Lots of parts painted and ready to assemble Here are the first three car bodies;

Has anyone heard from Pat Martin in Canada, author, photographer and modeller? Have not seen any posts from him for some time and one report said he has had a stroke?

That's rather lovely John, cracking litlle Min Nice job! Keith

@Datsun 280: Ich once saw this conversion into a convertible. Gracious lines.

Not much to show Most of the time has been wasted looking for just the right parts to use I'll make a start on Ned's body armour next

Welcome on board Mate!

My second pistol As the paint and glue dries on the other I thought I'd do this one Its been a little started And there's a couple of pieces missing, which ain't too hard to make up

I think you are correct re power struggle. I think that one of the things that has saved Toto is having shares in his team. I think that RB has had to go so far to compete with Mclaren that even Max struggles. I am very interested to see how Mclaren is doing it. I've even seen comments about phase change materials or water cooling in the wheels. Heck, you can get phase change material for you pc cooling. Look up Honeywell PTM 7950. A phase changing coolingpad/paste that turn liquid above 45C If Max goes, I think that George is gone. Max seems to like helping the new younger drivers and Max and George have had a few moments.
