Lovely model. I will be watching.

I am torn between 3. Dassault Rafale, Dassault Super Etendard, Hawker Hunter. If pressed I would say Rafale, Hunter, Super Etendard. Shout out to the Yak 130 and Su-33.

Hi Harv. Sadly I cannot match 1to1scale. I am going to be very careful with this build. I still can't get over my breaking the p-40 so close after the seiran and Dinah. Those I can repair. The kittyhawk is a write off. I still have the wings with my putty canvass.

Thanks so much.

I hope they stay safe.

Only 216 fire trucks. New South Wales on fire. Fire warning. The climate is getting worse and worse. Back in the 70's I used to help down in Gippsland. The extent of the fires has never been this bad in all my 55 years. I am concerned for the human and animal population. Especially the koalas who move very slowly.

Oh wow. Thanks so very much!

Thus far...

Congratulations on your new human. So pleased to see. I hope this child has a wonderful life.

Sadly I have not had time to study all of the great builds going on. This Junkers is looking like a great piece. Wonderful, lovely modelling.

I don't think that B-36 is the B-36 you think it is.

Work has begun on the Hayate. Sadly I deleted the photo. However I can share how lucky I am. A 15 minute bus ride takes me to whole the range of GSI and Tamiya products. Why am I lucky? GSI offers a range of paints covering virtually all the colours used by Japanese corporate weapons builders. My all time favourite modelling subject is Japanese military. I don't know why. I just like the shapes. The current build is a Nakajima Hayate. I have this. Here is my stash of Japanese paints. The Ki-84 is a very simple kit. I won't screw it up.

Fantastic work. Well done indeed.

I have decided to only use a harness from the pe. I just want it completed.

Well since my last disaster (seriously who breaks 2 fuselages???) I shall move onto another, the Ki-84. I have 2 sets of AM. If this works out I will be able to include the second set in my Xmas prezzy. Wish me luck.

I screwed up the other fuselages too. Not to worry. I have a large stash and my intent was good. I need to do a completely different subject. I only have 4 jets in 1/32. I was disappointed at first. Now I can do something different.

What to do? I must choose another. I will try something other than an old WWII aeroplane. The only large model jets I have are few. I am lucky I can laugh at myself.

Thread is over. I broke it with my numb hands.

Just for fun. Sir Humphrey and I were on the same board in 1989. Sir Humphrey explains foreign policy.

Fantastic!

Thank you, Carl. Strangely, I had loads of trouble fitting the radiator. It was really out. So I had to sand, then break things off. (Blaming my numb hands) Hopefully after all the glue has cured I can fix any blemishes. I am not going to touch the fuselage until tomorrow. Time to look at the prop. I love the effect Chris Wauchop gets on his wheels and propeller. Unsure how to do this, I am thinking thinned clear with a touch of buff thrown in and then airbrushed. Thoughts?

Thanks guys.
