Great result, Rob. She is looking very sharp indeed.
If my stash was not already overloaded, your build threads would push me to look closer at MFH's offers ...
But we modellers are just reasonable types when it comes to modelling, aren't we ?

Remember seeing this film when I was younger, fitter and thinner than now …
I never noticed the Tigers were M-47 … I’ll go to bed less stupid tonight ….
And nice job, btw 👍 !

Pity, and good they replied so quickly. If you wanted to go AM on the P.11c, there is this very nice Bristol Mercury

Very effective method for the casting relief, Ralph. Tip duly noted (thinking of the effect on some 1930s’ instrument panels)

Nice work 👍!
No judge in a contest would probably know what’s right anyway, not taking into account that accuracy is NOT a criterion in judging in model contests.
But no judging can beat the « I know it’s accurate » feeling
, and this is the one you are striving to satisfy .

It’s a great kit ! (I still have to finish mine, though)
it can be a bit fiddly in some areas, especially the assembly between the seat pan and seat back, with the intervention of PE braces … Ask me how I know … Well, forewarned is forearmed …Hubert

Great review! Thanks!
+1 ! And good to see something else than RAF schemes.
That Swedish one is striking (although I am well placed to understand the attraction of the Portuguese version
)

Got mine yesterday
!
Now to finish the Cutlass to clear the bench for this one…
Leaving on Sunday for a 12-days trip to France, so it’s probably another 3 weeks before I can get started. And to reopen my books to see what is needed to convert this one to a -4, with yellow wings.

The effect is subtle but still makes a huge difference, Mike 👍 !
You must probably account for 50% of Aviattic’s decals turnover 😊, with your kit output

+1 in preferring Porto over Lisbon ! And the Porto wine producing area, from Peso da Regua upstream, is absolutely gorgeous !
And, you may have not noticed it, but the North of Portugal has a lot richer gastronomy culture than the Center or the South. As a Frenchman living in Portugal, food is, of course, a key topic 😎

Repeating what I said in another post: as the 3D-printing process entails a washing phase to get rid of residual resin sticking to the parts coming out of the printer, and as the wash is usually with IPA ( the alcohol, not the beer), no need to wash them again.
Some new 3D- Printing resins are water-washable, but, anyway, the printing process does not use any mold release agent.

3D-printed is no different than « normal » resin. So, yes, CA, or epoxy glue.
The only plus is that, having been cleaned of unwanted resin left over from the printing process with IPA, you can skip the degreasing step !
Hopefully mine will be there when I come back from my trip to Bali (catching my flight later today).
Looking forward to see your build

Possibly a karaoke bar similar to one we were recommended in Manchester when we were at a conference. There were only 2 problems with it - firstly, the karaoke was in Mandarin and secondly, it looked like if you weren't in the Triads you weren't getting a shot anyway!
One of those places where every head turns and stares at you when you open the door, so needless to say we beat a hasty retreat and went to the Irish bar down the street.
Maybe you should have insisted, Gus 🤣😂🤣 …

Maybe you’ve still time: I understand (but did not check) that the website would close this week-end only.

How is that I love Kit Duck?
Coming from China, it’s got to be Beijing style roast duck … yummy !

Just like on the original, you need to increase the take-off incidence by lengthening the nose gear leg, à la Cutlass or UK Phantom FG-2 …
just my two cents

So, another boost to my stash’s value.
With 11/12 Fisher kits, about 9/10 HPH, and the same amount of Marsh Models/Aerotech (also gone) kits contributing to the attic insulation, I reckon I should verify my insurance cover 🤣😂🤣

Good to see you back, Ernie …

What kind of heresy is this!?!
The ancestor of the A-12 … and great-grand-father of the X-47B.
If in service before 1955, it should GSB, or NMF (imagine these wings in NMF, to push the heresy to its end …)

As usual, this was a great build to follow, with an outstanding result

Kit is looking promising, Carl. I´m eying the two seater, as I have only the ZM kit. Are you sure, there should be a tub. After looking at some pics, I think there is only the tubing.
Cheers RobWell, the soon-to-be-released ZM kit has some for the twin-seater (but not for the single-seat V3 you can do with the same box)
