  1. I agree that Honda’s motto has always been that the engine was at the heart of any car - or motorcycle for that matter - and should deserve their core attention … A pity they have not invested as many efforts in the design of the outer body of their cars in the last 20 years : their designs have been pretty lame and uninteresting in this time period … Hubert
  2. I replied already on LSP, but that is a fantastic piece of news ! I’m in ! (and in NMF, of course ) Hubert
  3. 6 cylinders for 250 cc … They DO love designing engines at Honda 🥰 … Nice wok, Rob Hubert
  4. Well, when I thought my year was made with the Lukgraph J2F-5 and the release of the Draken by Jetmads, it seems there will be more to the attack on my wallet … Technikit have announced they will release a 3D-printed 1/32 Mirage IV ! https://www.tecnikit.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=page&id=31&language=en Hubert
  5. If this is what your religion calls « a couple » … Well, as long as Sue agrees …🥴 Hubert
  6. Assuming it’ s empty to begin with 🤔 … 5 minutes ? Hubert
  7. Now, who is going to model the Border 1/32 Lancaster with engine visible and the flowery apron to cover it ? Hubert
  8. Now, THAT looked like a verious serious emergency 😉 ! Hubert
  9. 😮 Hubert
  10. Your restraint is laudable, Carl …. but what a waste of boot volume ! Hubert
  11. Funny you went for more flexible resin for the slats. I went the opposite fir the slats of my Cutlass, with a rigid resin. The reason is that the ones I printed a few weeks ago warped badly and took a banana shape 🙁 … Hopefully my slats will stay straight, as I will be gluing them shortly. Looking forward to see the painting start. Hubert
  12. Do USPS know which version and application date of the tariffs are effective ? Hubert
  13. You did not recognise George Bush, Martin ? The likelihood is - well, almost - there nevertheless 😳 ! Hubert
  14. Lovely Thunderjet, Kevin. Makes me want to pull my 1/32 kit up the « stash-decrease » (who am I fooling 🙄 ?) list. Hubert
  15. If you’re into large scale iconic cars, I have seen that Italeri just released a 1/12 Bugatti 35 B. The only difficulty will to reproduce the corked aluminium look of the engine block, a staple feature of the Bugatti engines 😉 … Hubert
  16. That Norton is just amazing … What is your printer ? Hubert
  17. It’s amazing that this flies at all, without wings and engine 😲 ! As you say, technological progress is beyond the understanding of us, old men …😉 Hubert Hubert
  18. Too bad about the bonnet fit when hinged … But she is still a spectacular beauty, and your workmanship shows throughout … You should really be proud about it, Rob, despite this last fight she put up for you 👍 Hubert
  19. The answer to that is definitely "yes". I read ZM are working on a "true" -B version, based on period drawings, and designed by Radu Brinzan, which in itself is a sign of great accuracy - in as far as being acuurate is a relevant term for a paper aircraft -. The -B version will have a totally different "nose", with revised intakes, etc. Hubert.
  20. The forthcoming ZM « B », designed by Radu Brinzan … Hubert
  21. Great save, John ! Hubert
  22. Happy for you guys. As far as I am concerned, Lukgraph and the pending releaase of the Draken by Jetmads have made my year ... Hubert
  23. Looking fantastic ! Nothing like a plate of spaghettis after a hard day’s work 😋 ! Hubert
  24. You have a lot of different resins used for 3D-printing. Some are said to be « ABS-like », although they are most likely not ABS. CERTAINLY NOT polystyrene anyway. You must use CA or epoxy to assemble them. Hubert
