Poco a poco, I still have to figure, how to get a magnetic tumble polisher to my island. Not so easy unfortunately, but this helps a lot with cleaning and refining the metal parts. Cheers Rob

I´ve seen the the FW16 on the MFH site. I could be tempted, but never liked the Williams too much. There is also a standing Senna figure included into the set. I have until the seventh of may to decide. Cheers Rob

Nice work on the seats and cockpit, Chris. The stenciling seems to be pure madness, I still have nightmares from my 1/48 Kai Phantom build. Hopefully the quality of the stencil decals is good and you have no silvering problems. Thorough prep work, like Peter mentioned is the key. Cheers Rob

Isn´t that called the Angel Share? Make it a double to counter evaporation. Cheers Rob

I got a melody in my head, whistled, taa, taa, ta, ta, taaa,.... Cheers Rob

Good to see you back on the Mossie, Bill. Cockpit and engines look beautiful. Seems to be a demanding kit with all these detailed sub assemblies. Someday, I will start mine. Cheers Rob

No probs with the intakes, Carl ? Cheers Rob

The Sparviero came out beautiful, you nailed the delicate camouflage, Kriss. I recently bought the `new´ Eduard boxing, which I hopefully start soon. Cheers Rob

Thank you for your sympathy, Hubert, mine will be a Sazerac or a Remember the Maine, just love the combination of rye whiskey and absinth. Cheers (literally) Rob

Today my third Model Factory Hiro kit arrived, a 1968 Ferrari 312. I decided against the same car with wings, because I like the undisturbed view at the beautiful 12 cylinder engine. Before I received the kit, I thought about riveting the whole body with tiny resin rivets, but after inspecting the resin part, decided against, as there are so many so close to each other, I would fear for the stability of the body. I think, this will be my first MFH building venture, to get a grip for the materials, specially white metal. I try to get a magnetic tumbler polisher to my place at the world, but until now without success. Also my Proxxon drill stand arrived, which will be a nice ´third´ hand for metal polishing and of course drilling with my trusted old Proxxon drilling machine. Cheers Rob

Got the center section rigging done. @HubertB, all the rigging threads are taut, sweet dreams . It was not easy to fiddle everything in place with different tweezers, using magnifiers, backlight and a lot of care not to break anything. Now I have to stretch my back and help myself to a nice stiff cocktail. After testing the stability of the center section, I decided, I could take a peek with the outer wings inserted. She´s a big bat. Somehow the wings disturb the view onto the more interesting middle section, but I will build her with complete wings anyway. Cut away outer wings is scheduled for my Felixstowe maintenance build. Cheers Rob

Good news it seems keep a good eye at Diana and care for her, Peter. Cheers Rob

Thank you Jeff, a mostly enjoyable build for me too, but the areas in need for touch up add, as well as parts getting knocked off during mounting and rigging. It wasn´t supposed to be the easiest of builds, but still enjoyable. Somehow these WNW builds are always demanding and a pleasure to build at the same time. Cheers Rob

There are huge tabs, connecting the inner to the outer wings, like you can see on this pic, where they are masked, Carl. This will secure a good fit and hopefully no sag. Cheers Rob

Patience Hubert, it´s not finished yet Cheers Rob
