It’s probably me, but I am struggling to keep the blade in position with this cutter. It always tends to fall off … Hubert

Looking good. The Stirling was the most impressive of the 3 heavies IMHO, and you have captured its stance very well. A pity that the Air Ministry requirement (literally) clipped its wings and potential … Hubert

Thanks Kevin. The cockpit is actually not as finished as I thought (and wrote) it to be: 1) It was missing the oxygen hose that had come loose, 2) I need to repaint the floor, pedals, control column pedestal and back bulkhead in interior green (re-checking the colors infos has brought this up) 3) whilst laboring on the ejection seat, I found out that Fisher has molded a part of the seat frame with the rear bulkhead, making the assembly awkward and fragile. So I removed all traces of the seat frame on the bulkhead, and rescratched a new one, that will go with the seat, thus making the lot sturdier and easier to paint. Pics soon Hubert

Coming along nicely, Neil 👍 Hubert

Great news ! I wish you and Christie all the best in this new endeavour, and look forward to see your future releases. Hubert

Wow ! Talk about some oldie ! I bow to your fortitude in tackling this one ! Hubert

Good-looking Spit 👍 ! (Dare I say that the infamous crow-bar was pained red only after the war ?) Hubert

Nice work. I would not even dare trying anything in 1/700, so kudos to you 👍 ! Your 1/700 Walruses seem to have grown a Pinocchio nose, however … Keep it coming Hubert

Like you, I find the windows a bit odd myself. I’d probably do one door with the window fully up. It would then clearly show that the other one is down, by modeller’s choice, and not mistake (as if you could do one ) Hubert

I’m with Rob and Mike. This is looking extremely good. It may have been difficult at times, but the finished product definitely looks like - to my 109-layman’s eyes - the the best 109-G in this scale, and you’ve done it it justice. Hubert

Your wish is my command, dear sir. A 1/16 kit uses 10.4675293 times more volume (and 4.78515625 times more shelf area) than the 1/35 equivalent 😉 HTH Hubert

… But then you don’t need a car 😇 ! Hubert

And to think it could be 1/3 bigger 🥺 Hubert

I ordered ( and just received) 3 of those, from Armory. Whilst not as fine and detailed as the one I designed, they are very good, and much better than any IM R-985 … Hubert

What Carl said that Martin said ! Hubert

IIRC, from other build threads I read, it’s the cockpit structure that interferes with the wing-to-fuselage joint. I may be wrong, but « forewarned is forearmed » … Hubert

Are these metal or resin ? Keep going. It’s a very interesting build Hubert

Interestîg approach, and looking forward to see the results. Hubert

« Blown away » looks like a most appropriate description …😉 Hubert

Nice progress, Ernie. Yes, the photo-etched IP looks crisper than the plastic one, but just adding Airscale decals would already have produced a convincing result. It just shows that Infinity are on the (normal) learning curve of a new kit manufacturer, with each new one better than the previous one. Roden, ICM, and even Special Hobby - or Tamiya for that matter - did not do any differently. Keep it coming, as Peter would say Hubert

This is where I realise that, as a Frenchman, my command of English is not that good … I never imagined that « roughing » a kit meant what I saw in the above pics …. 🧐 Hubert

What they said … Hubert

« Rushing » is not part of my modelling vocabulary, Martin. « Procrastinating » on the other hand …😜 Hubert

WOT ? I thought it was 75, but then realised it was only 45 … Now if you shorten it further, I am sure I will (again) prove I am bad at Group builds 😂 … Hubert

I think it’s going a bit of time still before DBMK’s releases (there is also a Sea Fury) are available… Hubert
