Looking at the number of sinkers, you probably have more than 100 grs already. Hubert

Looking forward to see your Mustang painted and decalled Hubert

I hope things will improve for the better from now on. Good to see it seems so, my friend. As for your mother, it’s terrible to read such a story. One would expect this does not happen anymore in a « civilised » country …. Hubert

Busting your balls with a cricket bat ? Inquiring minds want to know ... (ouch ! that must hurt !) Hubert

Totally agree. Hubert

Thanks for the pics, Dennis. I know the correction is well nigh impossible, but, every time I see one, I still can’t get on with the funky airfoil profile and wing incidence of the HB B-24 Far more visible than Cyrano’s famous nose IMHO … Hubert

I had barely noticed that you had started a Spit, and now it’s already finished, and very nice at that ! Congrats, John, for another great build. Hunert

I don’t know how I missed this one. VERY nice result ! Hubert

😂 … 15 years it’s going to be released the following year 🤣 😂 So funny, sort of ….😭 😩 Hubert

Methink this one will have difficulties taking off, even more so in hot and high conditions … Just my Hubert

Beautiful ! Well done ! Hubert

NIce, clean work and painting, as usual ! HUbert

I’m with Gary and Rob. Your work got me thinking. My style of modelling is to go detailing ad nauseam, to the point of getting stalled all too often by the dreaded AMS syndrome, to look for accuracy and scale rendering. Just as well, I have always dreaded the painting stage, and, in truth was never that interested in it. But the reality is that most of the detailing and accurazing is most often lost or invisible, so I am just left with the lonely satisfaction « to know it’s here », whereas a good - or an oustanding, like yours - paint job will make all the difference. I am not sure I am able to change my habits now, but it’s definitely worth having a hard thinking about them. In which case your work is one of the best tutorials I have seen for a long, long time.

If the 3D design is already done, I just need the 3D file, either in a usable 3D format or as .stl file (.stl is for 3D printing already). It can then be scaled down to the size needed on the slicer program. If you have only a 2D drawings of, say, a spinner, I need basic dimensions like diameter, length, size of openings, profile. Translating a 2D spinner drawing in 3D is easy enough. Doing a 3D design of a wheel is a lot more involved, as the shape becomes complex. Hubert

Time is free, and material cost infinitesimal given the likely weight. Hubert

Not at all Martinn. I am just asking not to do the basic research: as you well know, LW things are not my daily cup of tea ... Hubert

Of course. I always am ... Btw, printing a spinner should not be a big issue. If someone is willing to do the research and give me the basic dimensions and profile, it's a few minutes design, and a few hours' printing job Hubert

Good choice with the Naxos antenna. It looks cooler, IMHO Hubert

I have one … Hubert

Interesting technique for sure. Thanks for posting it 👍. Hubert

On the other hand, nobody will be able to tell you which is the right configuration. It’s like a wedding ceremony « speak now or shut-up forever », so you can say « I do » to whichever choice you want Hubert

Me too … although I do not understand what dogs have got to do with it … Hubert

YES ! How did you guess these news made me happy ? Hubert

Hey, Kai …. Is it done yet ? Hubert

Mmmmh, John, and how come ? … Hubert
