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

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
