  1. Can’t agree more. Welcome in the club … Hubert
  2. I have it as well, and I was impressed by the book. Hubert
  3. Definitely so … But that carrier just went through a major dust storm. The yellow jackets will have some washing to do Hubert
  4. Love it 👍! Hubert
  5. « Putty » is probably the most relevant word for this build … Looking at the moldings, it almost looks as if they upscaled the venerable Revell 1/426 kit . Anyway, if someone can tame this beast, it’s gotta be you, Rob … For me, and large ships, it’s 1/200 or nothing … Hubert
  6. He looks more British than Canadian , but great job on the figure painting. Hubert
  7. Just saw this one. What the other said 👍 ! Hubert
  8. Very nice Gladiator. It's an airframe that is growing on me, thanks to the great ICM kit. Of course, no camo for me, but one of the garish 1930s silver wings schemes Hubert
  9. Yes, absolutely needed. The attachment of the main float is very weak otherwise, whereas it’s a key part of the airframe. Nice progress, Bill. Hubert
  10. Or paint a lagoon on the wall, with coconut trees, sand beach, coral reef, etc… and hang the Cat on the wall Hubert
  11. Getting there, Peter, even if it takes longer than expected … I know I’d have cut off the X-bracing to have a clear space for seams’ cleaning, and re-glued them at the end … Hubert
  12. I was about to comment like Carl when I read his advice. So, I will just say « +1 ! » Hubert
  13. The one shown is the A-4, Ernie … Hubert
  14. And cheaper for European items shipped to Europe than the European sellers … Hubert
  15. Yes, Yahu has one set, and the usual outstanding quality … http://www.yahumodels.com/index.php/produkt/yma3210-mosquito-nf-ii-fb-vi-tamiya/ IIRC, CMK had a detail ser for the Mosquito, but it seems OOP. Hubert
  16. I know mine (a Mk IV with the glass nose - the most beautiful Mosquito IMHO) will be finished as Don Mc Vicar’s CF-ZFG, a racing Mossie for the Bendix Trophy, all yellow with a green trim. A pity HK Models f#&!-up the wing root profile … I’ll let you guys go looking for the said Mossie. You may be tempted to read the book by Don Mc Vicar, really enjoyable and fun Hubert
  17. As the name indicates, I think Adriatic Models is run by an Italian guy, Ernie, not Oliver … Hubert
  18. So you were in a COMMUNIST paradise, Martin ? Tssssk …. Tssssssk ….. Tsssssk 🫣 Hubert
  19. +1 ! These Planet Models resin kits aren’t too bad, actually. Not Fisher, Silver Wings or Lukgraph levels, but you can get good results with them and a little TLC. Hubert
  20. Nice work, Neil. it’s good to see a quality Revell release, all the more so of an iconic aircraft. Well done 👍! Hubert
  21. The only issue of the Waldron set is that they rust, by simple contact with body moisture … But somehow, probably linked to the cristalline structure of stainless steel, which includes chromium crystals, you cannot get as sharp edges with stainless steel punches as with ordinary steel … My micro-punch set has also steel punches, and they rust, even when I never touched them, given the way the set is designed. Hubert
  22. I have no first hand experience of Yellow Wings (not yet, as I have some in the AM stash) but I have read the decals were very thin and transparent, so beware … Hubert
