Thanks Mike

Nice Dauntless, pity that I'm on my little island and can't attend. The same kit could be my next build, but mine will show more exposure to the elements and maybe a crew. Have you done the wooden carrier deck by yourself? Cheers Rob

Double Post

Nice, I don't have the guts for this one, but thought about it more often than any other kit. I have the Fe2b in my stash with spider web rigging and feel that I'm not up to do another one, hard thinking again…………………………...…………………………………. Cheers Rob

I love your attention to detail. The interior is looking great and I love the bar equipment. The only missing thing seems to be an issue of the Prawda. Cheers Rob

Pictures you load up and don't insert into the thread are automatically placed on the lower part the thread. You have to delete them before you hit the 'Submit Reply' button. Anyway, the sprue shot is missing in the Universal Carrier section, so no harm done Fascinating how few parts Tamiya uses to represent a Universal Carrier. My Riich kit seems to have the parts count times three, not a comfortable thought on such a tiny vehicle. Cheers Rob

Every build has a flaw, at least to the builder, good if it's such a minor annoyance . Are you planning an in flight display? If that's the case it could be a case of bad defogging or a bit of frosted ice. As the window has a simple shade, maybe one of those among us who do vac parts are able to produce a new one. Cheers Rob

Ace stuff, I like your picket boat with all the different shades of wood and nice material approach. The large scale is an invitation to super detailing and that is what you do masterful. Cheers Rob

Great review of an unexpected plane. WNW has lots of aces up their sleeves and I really enjoy seeing more and more obscure subjects besides the Camels, etc. Am I the only one who doesn't like the manuals that much. Yes they are thoroughly researched, give a good idea about Colours and finished subassemblies, but the pure construction part, is where they lack sometimes. Rigging plans could be made a little more clear either. Beside that you can't go wrong with these kits and the Gotha is one to consider. The only thing hindering me is the wingspan. I don't build four engine planes from the WWII era for a reason. Cheers Rob

Maybe some Canadian Club in your breath, while celebrating the great big thing . I mostly Futurize clear plastic and have only issues if they stay masked for to long. Hopefully Future will cure your window. Cheers Rob

C'mon , it's such a small period between WIP and RIP with your builds, give us quality shots John. I like what you are doing with the Midnight Mickey. Cheers Rob

That's my first limerick since I was in fourth grade of primary school, starting to study English language with the printed help of Peter Pim and Billy Ball, but it is FUNNY Cheers Rob

Hola Folks, I received this strange beauty today for less than 30€ incl. shipping, a true bargain. The Archer is right down my alley, a weird design, only the British could have been made. Driving one way shooting the other way, I love it. I can see the engineers thoughts in front of me: ' How are we supposed to get that gun onto the Valentine chassis. Is the engine hindering, we need a walkaround. This is like designing with duct tape and a swiss army knife . A first look into the box is promising, sharp details and length and link tracks, phew. Since Bronco announced it's version, I considered getting one for me, but now for that price I had to do it. To provide the fitting personell is a nice touch by Tamiya especially with these crammed open top vehicles where no aftermarket figures are fitting in without lots of surgery. Cheers Rob

Ok, some other possibilities Gaz, 'Zu schnell für Dich' to fast for you 'Krieg mich doch' Try catch me 'Mensch ärgere Dich nicht' is the German name of the classic board game called Ludo in English. The meaning is: Man, don't get annoyed because you get kicked out often. 'Schneller als die Polizei erlaubt' Faster than is permitted by the police 'Viel Feind viel Ehr' ' The more enemy, the more honor 'Neid muss man sich verdienen' Envy you have to earn 'Schnell wie die Feuerwehr' Fast as the fire brigade Cheers Rob

I see, I have a picture in my head, the plane is bright orange and carries the phrase 'Meisterjäger' which is something like 'master hunter' or 'hunter of the masters' in these old German gothic letters of the Jägermeister brand logo. When I lived in Berlin I once saw a guy on a bright orange race bike, with that Meisterjäger logo in white letters on the side and he was every bit of it. I hardly could follow him with my razor blade like KTM this time. Picture for discussing purpose only Cheers Rob

Habe ich noch nie gehört, sorry haven't ever heard that in my 50+years. Might be used in Bavaria, but not in Prussia . Cheers Rob

I think I have to now more about your project.

Fokker DVII of Ernst Udet 'not you' or 'actually not you'

Maybe this Gaz, which translates more or less to 'Like a flea, but watch out' from the ME-163. Cheers Rob

Uhuuh, not so easy, 'Fang mich doch' or 'Krieg mich doch' would be possibilities as a short catchy phrase, but without the 'if you can'. Completely it would be like 'Fang mich wenn Du kannst' oder 'Krieg mich, wenn Du es schaffst' not very catchy anymore with a comma and quite longish. Mind the capital letters in German as I wrote it. It might be better to use only capitals to get a decent look. May others have better ideas. I will think a little further, but maybe someone knows some historical backed phrases. Cheers Rob

Me too, maybe after the GB

They had another one in their line up, but they are hard to find now. The one I lost is the same like Phils. https://www.eduard.com/index.php?stoken=4D0CF8ED&lang=1&currency=0&listtype=search&searchparam=lightning&cl=search&tpl=&fnc=executefilter&attrfilter[]=&attrfilter[15]=Limited+edition Cheers Rob Come on, do it Phil, I'd love to see yours build. Cheers Rob

Whoa, just catching up on your progress and some pages of thread . Your Lanc is a beauty and a true standout with the vivid painting. Cheers Rob

Good to see some progress here, Rick. The pit and wells look great with your wiring. Bummer with the Yahu IP, measuring and testing shouldn't be so hard prior to produce the stuff. Cheers Rob

Haha, not so bad at all, the Tamiya offering will be a P-38 F/G, my other one is a J ,so there speaks nothing against a second one https://www.themodellingnews.com/2019/07/tamiyas-148th-scale-lockheed-p-38-fg.html Cheers Rob
