Just saw this one. What the other said 👍 ! Hubert

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

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

Or paint a lagoon on the wall, with coconut trees, sand beach, coral reef, etc… and hang the Cat on the wall Hubert

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

I was about to comment like Carl when I read his advice. So, I will just say « +1 ! » Hubert

The one shown is the A-4, Ernie … Hubert

And cheaper for European items shipped to Europe than the European sellers … Hubert

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

#2 for me … Hubert

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

As the name indicates, I think Adriatic Models is run by an Italian guy, Ernie, not Oliver … Hubert

So you were in a COMMUNIST paradise, Martin ? Tssssk …. Tssssssk ….. Tsssssk 🫣 Hubert

+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

Nice work, Neil. it’s good to see a quality Revell release, all the more so of an iconic aircraft. Well done 👍! Hubert

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

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

Niiiiiiice, Peter 👍 ! And I love the new scheme you have chosen for your signature… Hubert

Told you this guy had a strange look ... Hubert

Ah. I thought it was your last build. Nice build nevertheless (but the LG should be vertical and normal to the ground) Hubert

Very nice Tojo, Gary. If I may, your pics got me wondering, and I then checked period pics, but the angle of the MLG looks weird, unless the kit felt itself suddenly with weak knees in the warm Australian sun Hubert

Wow, Dean ! May I suggest an add-on to your tool chest, that might be useful for this project Hubert

The main problem with getting old is that stiffness shifts places in the body … from where it’s wanted to where it’s not wanted 😉 And Gary, take care. I am afraid we are entering an era where we will have to cope with regular returns of Covid, just like we have colds and the flu coming back every year. Not a funny perspective ☹️ … Hubert

Oh, and by the way, you can tint aluminium foil and achieve different colors by boiling it with egg shells and metals like lead, coins, etc … HTH Hubert

She’s looking good Mike. Actually, a collapsed LG Would be quite prototypical of the Buffalo 😉 Hubert
