  1. And about that « pot-de-vin » to extend the deadline by 18 months, so that I can finish my Cutlass in time 😂 ? Hubert
  2. An old vacform kit of the Nieuport Sesquiplan, that was the firts aircarft to fly above 200 mph, piloted by French pilot Sadi Lecointe. Sadi Lecointe was one of the most well-known aviators of his time and considered a true hero in France. Hence the title of the small vignette "The hero and his steed". Hubert
  3. Well done ! And congrats for the dash to the finish line 👍 ! Hubert
  4. Ben (Starfighter on LSP) said it was 62 hours printing time for the wings only. And printing the fuselage takes 120 hours … And, before you ask, AFAIK, he has no intention of selling it to anyone … Still, it’s a fantastic piece of design 👍 ! Hubert
  5. Too bad. Somehow, seeing the raised rivets on the headrest, I thought that Trumpeter got the raised rivets on the rest of the airframe … These were a characteristic feature of the TBD, but, I agree with you, are often too prominent on many kits. It’s one of my gripes with the IBG PZL P-11C : the raised rivets are accurate for this airframe, but a bit too high for my liking … Anyway, we’ ve got Archer or Quinta for sets of raised rivets. Just need a few dozen sheets costing the GNP of Zimbabwe 😂 ! Hubert
  6. I can offer you a number of « pots-de-vin », but my Cutlass will need more than a week to be finished … Hubert
  7. Are the rivers divots or dimples ? The TBD was festooned with raised rivets ( as was his stablemate the Dauntless, but Trumpeter showed them as divots, and it took Archer to issue a full set of raised rivets for the SBD) Hubert
  8. Got more pics for us ? Hubert
  9. Now that’s embodying the fabled saying « Turning a sow’s ear in a silk purse » Hubert
