Great result. A smashing return to the hobby ! Hubert

Well that this one was banned is understandable ... That the ad agency creative team had one rail too many before they came up with this is also understandable (not to say normal) ... But what I don’t understand is that someone in the Ford marketing team 1) agreed on the synopsis, 2) agreed to pay for the film, and 3) agreed on the finished film ... This is more than one rail too many ... Hubert

How good is the « Canadian Pofile » book on the Canuck ? Have you any pics of the inside pages you could share ? Hubert

The problem is you can spend 2 HK Lancasters worth of Archer rivets if you want to reproduce the raised rivets of the 1:1 SBD ... Hubert

Beautiful. This forthcoming Airscale panel looks the bees knees Hubert

Great job ! Getting there, and it pomises to be spectacular. Btw, as a « tool-addict » who has always professed he needed the « right tool for the right job » ( oh, the strength of self-delusion) what you have achieved is all the more spectacular when I see your bench. Hubert

Yes, at the bottom of the site main page. See the « non-LSM reviews and builds » Hubert

I’ll send you a PM when I’m back home in Portugal. I don’t want to pollute this site with expressions of what I am feeling about what’s going on over there ... Take care, mate. Hubert

I think I recognise this man on your avatar ... Glad to see you around, Dale. Hubert

You mean ... you did not see the humour of the last 12 years, best summed up as « We get all the big fat bonuses, and you loose your house, your savings, and your government is baling us out, many times and increasing taxes in consequence ( but we bought a new Porsche, a new Rolex, and a new house in Rhode Island) » Too bad, this was so funny, we are running in a new sequel, soon and fast Hubert

Very subtle oil canning effects ... Well done ! Hubert, feeling cheeky ...

Think I read somewhare that it was « Falsy ». Can’t remember where, though .... Hubert

Methink that between a P-51 A and a P-47, you should choose a Tamiya Corsair, John ... Just my Hubert

This keeps getting better and better ... Hubert

Great subject, Martin .... Now about that Mig 15, He-111, B-25, La-7, .... Hubert

+1 for Tamiya rattle can primers, which can be decanted for airbrushing if need be. I have never seen a black one, and don’t believe there is any, but, on the other hand there is a pink one which is great under red or yellow paint ... Hubert PS: in all honesty, though, I have not (yet) tried other brands of primer. My output is just too low for that ...

I am just quoting LM and the Pentagon’s claims ... Should be true, considering you could buy the whole Phantom fleet with less than 10 F-35s ... Hubert

It could not have happened with F-35s, « because the F-35 does not get into the ennemy’s gun-firing range : he sees and destroys the foe before that ... » Hubert

Will follow this one with interest. As for the comments on another forum, it is fascinating to watch mob phenomena. Since the annoucement of the WnW release in one year (or more) from now, comments about the HK kit have evolved from enthusiasm to bad-faith trashing. I suppose it is human nature to judge comparatively (and in this case, the comparison is between real stuff vs 3D renderings) rather than in absolute terms the merits of products . Anyway, from your review pics and considering your talent, I am sure your end result will be outstanding Hubert

You definitely have a knack with these WnW kits, Dave. Fantastic result ! Hubert

Happy birthday, my friend Hubert

Looks like plenty of smart engineering went into this one, and that it was worth the wait. Excellent pics in this review. Hubert

And the same oil consumption as well ... Hubert

Lovely build ... of an ugly airframe ! Difficult to imagine the same company later produced the Comet, Dragon Rapide, Albatros or Mosquito ... Anyway, absolutely great job, Jeroen Hubert

Got it ! Thanks ! Hubert
