Classic book about life.

That's where the magic happens Edit: Just realized that we're totally drifting from Peter's build. Sorry.

Doodlebug for the win !

Nice, it has been sold out for a while now. EDIT: was referring to Carl's Curtis Seahawk

Holy smokin' Jozef, this kit just came up and you're almost done. looking good Ernie.

It would be beneficial to know in order to identify the root of the problem, in the case this will pop up again.

What was the solution?

Lovely as always, very dramatic weathering too. 👍 Cheers Martin

Most excellent news Tim, I will support your business by any means available.

Nice wheels Rob, I like the subtle differences in colours. Very natural

Finally arrived. Arcus paint from Ukraine. The orange label is synthetic, the green one is acrylic. We shall see.

You nailed it Kevin, really nice S-thingie. Beauty ! Cheers Martin

(Non-explosive reactive armor) enclosed in steel boxes, this composite armor named unofficially as "Haji". Every NERA layer consists of 3 sublayes: a 10mm thick aluminium plate, a 4mm thick natural rubber (as reactive element) then a 4.7mm thick high hardness steel plate

Thanks for the preview Fran, Topsy with her mixed marking is sort of a " must build" for me. Now we just need some Soviet livery to top it up.

My pleasure John, you are right. The structural damage caused by the heat sealed its fate. Ignition temperature of aluminium alloy is approximately 1000 degrees celsius, melting point is reached at around 700 C. Gasoline burns on max. flame temperature, slightly over 1000C degrees.

Magee Jr., USNR from Fighting Squadron 25 (VF-25) aboard the light aircraft carrier USS Cowpens (CVL-25) evacuates his burning Grumman F6F-3 Hellcat (BuNo 66101) after landing unaware that it was on fire, during the Gilberts Operation, 24 November 1943. Firefighters are rushing to the plane, and put out the flames in a minute and a half, with no casualties. The fire started as the Hellcat approached Cowpens for an emergency landing.
