HPH have, at last, released the 1/32 DC-3 in Continental Airlines’ livery. The price tag is still VERY hefty, though … Hubert

Very nice Mark ! I am not a camo fan, but, if anything, your build has convinced me to go for « Blå Petter » Hubert

She's looking good, Peter. All the prep work paid off. Hubert

I'm in, both for giving and receiving ... Hubert

Ernie, PM sent regarding Grand Prize Hubert

Absolutely freaking AMAZING 👍 ! Hubert

One thing I learned reading the advice from various masters is that the human eyes are seldom wide open. The eyelids are most often partly closed on the eyeball. Repainting the eyelids in a way to cover most of the eyeballs would greatly enhance the eyes of your tankette guy. HTH Hubert

Never mind the cat : I am impressed 👍 ! Hubert

Love it ! Hubert

The Trumpy Wildcat is not bad at all. In terms of fitting, it is also mostly Ok, but for the wing-fold joint which is a PITA if you deploy the wings (another reason - the main one being a yellow-wing scheme - why I bought the "Early" version). Go for it, Phil, I got my ticket as well ! Hubert

What did I just get ? … The flu ! After having missed the 2020 window thanks to social distancing and hygiene measures, I believe the flu virus came back with a vengeance this year ! It’s a nasty one, and with many of the symptoms of Covid-19 on top of it. I have felt truly miserable all week, but Patricia fared much worse, to the point of ending in hospital yesterday … And, of course, given the symptoms, we had to follow the Covid-19 circuit, until tested negative. She was actually the worse off of all the people in the Covid-19 emergency ward of the regional hospital … So, my advice is to get the flu jab asap : we have had no time to organise it before being hit. Another « gift » from a one-week stay in France … Hubert

Lovely result 👍 ! Hubert

Did you notice this turkey has something sticking out of its rear end 😏 ? Hubert

Very display of one of the most impressive bombers ever built. One question from an ignoramus : shouldn’t the main LG boggie be parallel to the ground just after take-off, and return to perpendicular to the MLG trunk when the retraction sequence is initiated ? Hubert PS: got my answer by doing a quick search. It’s neither, nor . It looks like the articulation of the boggie to the main trunk is forward of the boggie center, and the rear wheels of the boggie are just « hanging » by gravity and being lower than the front ones when not on the ground. https://www.alamyimages.fr/photos-images/avro-vulcan-landing.html

Yeaahhh … I’m with Peter here ! So …. You know now how to fill the voids to guess what I am writing : i. i. d… y.. ? Hubert

Very nice 👍 ! Hubert

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
