Quite a year you had, nice output and nice photos too. Compared to you I seem to be to easy to distract from the workbench. Cheers Rob

Our son visited us for Christmas on our tiny island and that meant surfing in a fat southeast swell the last two days. I'm broken as I'm not 23 anymore like him. You see Carl, it seemingly never stops with that (positive) stress with the children. But right now we bring him to the airport and that's not so easy too. Cheers Rob

Feliz Navidad, you are a great bunch of guys and I wish you all the best for you and your families and the plastic as well. Cheers Rob

With some thoughtful use of this https://ak-interactive.com/product/oil-and-grease-stain-mixture-75ml/ you will achieve masterful results. Cheers Rob

Popcorn time, I love your project Kent. Some month ago I thought about something similar but shied back because I questioned my ability and stored the idea in a very remote area of my brain. Cheers Rob

Thanks, looks good to my eye, I gonna place an order and be a member of the RBiveters . Cheers Rob

Nice save Ernie, are these the RB riveting results? Looks good to me. Cheers Rob

Nice Zim-job, can't wait to see the big Bär painted. Cheers Rob

Nice Ernie, but it would be good to show some of the results. I'd like to compare them to my cheap Trumpy riveter. Maybe you make me a believer too and it's the beginning of a new cult . Cheers Rob

Feliz Navidad Ivan, to complete the picture with my adopted Spanish heritage. Tons of luck for move to the other side of the world. Cheers Rob

Great result with that low silhouetted hunter. Nice paintjob and weathering. Have to build one of my IV derivates, but have the not so low variant in my stash. Cheers Rob

Epic, love the car door for better visibility of the working place. Nice and subtle weathered finish. Cheers Rob

Nice progress, can't wait to see how yours turns out in the end. I have the ZM one and after what I experienced with their TA-152, the 219 has to wait a bit more. Cheers Rob

Wow , a beauty Barry. The finish looks perfect. As you mention, it's definitely not for the beginners, at least not the front half , but you mastered that. Cheers Rob

Nice Danny, and these check flags lead the eye to the interesting points. Cheers Rob

I have made me one for the decal solvents, because it is so easy to topple these small bottles while moving the kit and will manufacture me one for my cement bottle as well after reading this. https://forum.largescalemodeller.com/topic/5494-fear-no-more-decaling-worst-nightmare-solved/ Cheers Rob

Two out of eighteen . That is my first attempt of wiring a n engine with lead wire. Decided against the flat PE and it seems to work. I drilled out the holes for the spark plugs with a 0,4 mm drill and inserted pre cutted pieces of PlusModel lead wire with 0,3 mm diameter. The wires will be fine-tuned with tweezers when all are applied. Cheers Rob

Nah, not my color, and with my 0,2 mm nozzle it's to demanding to repaint that tracked bar of chocolate Cheers Rob

Was it a long strike or is that the normal haul ? Cheers Rob

Oh dear, sorry to hear that. The quick build starts to slow a little caused by feline desasters. We own only a small dog and it's way easier to keep things out of his reach. One of my other hobbies is my huge collection of vinyls and three turntables, so definitly a no cat house. Cheers Rob

These two wheeled MINIatures can be challenging in times, but hey you're a master modeller, so I'm quite confident you will master that . Cheers Rob P.S. I know the feeling

Thanks Peter, and you are absolutely right, the Jug looks powerful, even brutish, without loosing the last bit of elegance. Cheers Rob

Hi John, found this by accident, hope it might help. Decals: I found two photographs of 887 Squadron Seafire IIIs, which showed that the airplanes used oversized large BPF insignia; this was likely done to insure that their erstwhile USN allies recognized the unfamiliar shape of the Seafire as “friendly.” I was able to source the BPF decals from the Dutch Decals sheet “Dutchies in de FAA”, which were originally meant for the 1/32 Hellcat. The “Royal Navy” and the serial NN212 came from leftover decals for the Fisher Sea Fury, while “S/112" was sourced out of other Fleet Air Arm decal sheets. Source is: https://modelingmadness.com/review/allies/cleaver/gb/tmcsf3.htm Cheers Rob

Nice Jeroen, great start for a review with the original photos to compare. For me the Lanc has too much wingspan, it wouldn't fit in my sparay booth or photobox, so I'm out on this one, but will follow your review out of sheer interest. Cheers Rob

Thanks Mike, a good kit with some good AM added makes live easy . Cheers Rob
