If we are into Dreamland, I’d still like to see Sir Peter Jackson prepare a movie with a B-58, or A HP Heyford ... Hubert Ok, the Heyford would probably not sell that many, not even as a resin kit ...

To do that, you’ll need at least a SR-71, or another MiG-25 ... Just my Hubert

Absolutely ! Like yellow wings Hubert

She’s definitely looking mean, Martin Hubert

At last some civvy ! This is where the old Gooney really got his legendary wings, IMHO (not trying to minimise its merits during WWII, or in Vietnam, mind you, but my inclinations are definitely not on the warry side)... Bring more Hubert

If we are talking about bench « add-ons », here are my three home cats, on an ordinary morning at home (around 6:00 AM) The grey one on the left loves sniffing around my bench, and tasting the resin bits like a Fisher cockpit or a carefully-built frame structure for my on-going Gee-Bees’ builds. So I try to discourage his modelling interests. Both he and the Maine Coon princess on the right also love jumping on the shelves with all the paint pots. Getting them to jump down without creating havoc among all these chemicals is a regular challenge Hubert

You are in the Wingnut Wings "Ready for inspection" sub-forum of the LSM finished work. I am the first to admit this is a bit confusing, but it was, I believe, a decision at the time to have a special focus area on WnW WWI kits. Probably not necessary anymore now, as they have become "mainstream" for a lot of modelers. As for moving your thread, this is admin privilege, so you should ask the staff. Cheers Hubert

Nice one ! (but wrong forum for posting, which, maybe deprives you and your fellow modellers from more viewing) Hubert

Thank you for the compliment guys ... But then one wonders why, with the setup I came up with after years of experience, thinking and the help of HobbyZone, this does not make me more productive Hubert PS: I wanted to also quote Jeff's and Phil's (Bomber-County) comments, but apparently, I am not proficient at "multi-quoting" . Sorry to both.

I was about to write "dust" to literally answer the question in the thread's title, but then I thought better and decided I would have my friend Ernie cringe a bit ... . So I took the portable vacuum-cleaner and did a bit of dusting ... It does mean though that there is not much going on on my bench right now . Here is to instant karma retribution for those who laugh at their less-orderly siblings ... Hubert

Just received the prop from Proper Planes and Rexx exhaust for my WnW Junkers D1. The pic does not do these justice. They are absolute works of art, and the plush box they come into is totally justified Hubert.

I thought that everything was washed with vodka in the Motherland of Triumphing Socialism .... Hubert, the user-of-totally-worn-out-cliches

Cool project. Even cooler if you'd choose to do it in the famous Alcock and Brown scheme ... Hubert

Double like, and kudos to Nigel and Robert for the work you are doing ... Hubert

Outstanding work Nigel. Definitely my type of modelling. Hubert

Another piece of advice with the supplied magnets. Be careful to always have them in the same polarity, and also, they are a bit tough to get into the holes (HZ want really some friction to hold the magnets in place). My solution was to start tapping the magnet in the hole with a brass hammer, then finish pushing it into place by clamping the board with magnet in a vice. Hubert

That’s what I hear all the time ... ok .... Hubert

I invested about half of a HPH DC-3, or a full HK Lancaster kit, in my Hobby Zone setup. Worth every penny compared to growing the stash further. You need to get both paintrack sizes, plus the bottle racks. I also found out that the units with the large flat drawers are very useful, especially if you leave out the divisions made for them, probably more so than the ones with the smaller drawers ... Be aware that the tool holders (with holes) have two sizes of holes, one of which is ok for fine brushes and needle files, but generally too small for an X-Acto type round handle, so most of the holes end up unused ... If, like me, you are a tool freak and get plenty of small items or tools « which might prove useful one day » (), then the HZ modules are definitely a big boost to get really organised. Plus you will recover a part of the cost by SEEING and finding what you have, and not buying a duplicate, or triplicate (ask me how I know) In short, highly recommended, my friend. Hubert

What is this horrible contraption above the wings ? I know the C-47s still serving are utility work-horses, and that re-engining the old bird is sometimes absolutely necessary ... But THIS makes interwar French designs or Blackburns look like beauty queens Hubert

Waiting for the,one without a passenge door ... a DC-3 in short ... then the funds to afford it, with VAT in Europe ... Hubert

I still remember Shep Paine’s build of the venerable Monogram kit, in the painting shop receiving its polka dots formation ship scheme, on the cover of Scale Models ... Hubert

Eeeeeezy Peeeeeezy .... as they say Hubert

Looking mighty good, Mike Hubert

Ron, I read your comment about the WB engines not being to scale as a confirmation that they might rather be R-1535 ... The main difference with the R-1830 lies in the size of the crankcase IIRC ... But at least they fit into the cowlings without too much hassle and look better than the kit’s engines. Congrats for having found a cost-effective solution for improving the engines. Now for another question : I have read a comment on LSP that the props were actually too small in diameter... Hubert

Looks like a lovely kit. And with a consistent scale with my favorite aircrafts’ one on top of it ... Hubert
