Nice shots, the only problem I foresee, is that it could get expensive if you chose to buy bigger, to get those Hubble clear images

I'm liking that, excellent job

What they all said

Nice work on the gauges Blue but to my eyes, it seems visually odd that the instruments are placed behind the panel, as I'd always thought that the bezels were on the front face of the panel! Going back to my query regarding the positioning of the instruments, the link in Brian's (pen pusher) post ...

Bet you never thought you would get 9 posts about a piece of wood!!

Who wood've thought!







Sorry....

Just to repeat that which has already been said above, a nice looking model and hope that you have somewhere secure for it.

Not sure why, maybe its just down to the fact that I've grown used to seeing panels with the instrument beze...

I haven't read anything about this, is there any particular reason that the LWH is being demolished and what are the plans, is any, for the space created?

Ant, I'd guess that the bombs haven't been painted yet as the kit has been moulded in black but as I say, it only a guess! Derek, I also am enjoying your build but if it is of interest, I've read that the Cookie bomb is seriously undersized although I was never that concerned, as although I built mi...

TonyC, I have man cave envy! Ditto. That's not so much a stash as an old-fashioned model shop! TonyC, I have man cave envy! Although I like having it all around me, it can be a distraction at times, as my concentration can wander leading to more daydreaming than modelling! ...I can draw inanimate o...

TonyC, get those pencils back out mate. I have an arty side too that I don't put to use often enough, but it really is something we should be doing. When I've finished a painting or a sketch, I'm always glad that I made the effort. Maybe one day but at the moment I've got a little too much in front...

Ahh, Rotring pens, I remember many a time, having to clean them out and having to replace the needle nibs, which I had to do repeated, due to having bent them! I think your finished drawing is excellent and very much in the style that I used to do myself in the late 70's, very early 80's, albeit wit...

I replied in the BM post, which I pasted below but guess its more about the collection as a whole, rather than disposals... In an 'ideal world', I'd shut Hendon, sell the land and move the entire collection to Cosford and use the money from the sale, for purchases, maintenance . I'd then make the po...

Aaaahhh, thanks Andy!

It just seemed that MiG had dropped off the radar, so to speak!

As an aside to the post, is there any reason why Sukhoi seem to have overtaken MiG, as Russia's prime military aircraft manufacturer?

Just to add my appreciation and thanks for your updates in what has been a taxing year for everyone! It great that your interest and desire for '788 remains undiminished, where maybe, given the events of this year, it would be understandable if this had waned! Therefore. many thanks, more power to y...

Hi Tony no not at all, Thank you that will really help.

Hi Andy,
Send me your address and I'll get them in the post for you!
Cheers

Hi Andy,
If its not too late, I have the remains of a decal sheet from the Trumpeter 1:72 Sea Fury FB.11 kit (01631) which includes black & white stripes for upper/lower wings and the fuselage!

Happy to send them to you, if they will help?

Tony

I'd be surprised if the locals will be happy, I seem to remember that they managed to delay the building of the concrete runway for quite a few years and isn't there also a limit, to the number of movements allowed each day/week?

Clever, very clever....

GRO and MAG are leaving Haas after 2020 season. It was easy to deduct, now time for some fresh blood :) Magnussen I thought showed promise early on in his career but hasn't really progressed, not much to say about Grosjean other than I'll be glad to see the back of him. Grosjean has got talent to d...

Ahhh, bless, bet butter wouldn't melt him his mouth but just out of interest, how do you intend to test this particular fox, for paternity?

Great update as usual

OK, I'm going to show my ignorance here, what's air BnB?

Tony, we are in the business of restoring rather than scrapping aircraft, so of course it's worth it! The rest of the aircraft is in very good order... Hi Graham, As I said, I'm no fettler and do not advocate scrapping anything, just for the sake of it so I appreciate the further explanation. It's ...

Another great update but don't spread yourself too thinly matey! TT Sometimes, a change is good and '788 wll benefit, in the long run but I wonder, a lot of that corrision on the JP looks terminal or at the least, very time consuming, is it (I hate to use the phrase) worth it? Of course I'm no fett...
