Are you a fan of the old Halfords Grey Primer ? I don't use it everytime but it's fill properties can help with this sort of micro cracks ? Big cracks I've moved towards black superglue these days as it won't shrink and can help to bond , both of which fillers fail at.

I love how you set a bar for your work so high , it comforts me to know I don't need to go anywhere near your standard , just so long as you're still making masterpieces. Your thoroughness is inspirational !

+1 on that one , precise but worn- a really great mix . Those props are exceptional

Given how China rips off resin figures for eBay , I'm surprised there have not been rip off versions of this type of kit too . It's a simple enough trick to do , recasting .

So.......... Hasegogo from 1976 ....think 1/72 but thicker .....boy this one's thick . Quick to build though. Going together with ease .... Also - Spent 3 hours playing with my Silhouette todays , I might be able to make some roundals now . #full1970s More music though ....so that can't be all bad .

Looking good .

It's a good kit with no real vices . I found the canopy needed a bit of extra "fitting" on the one I did last month , other than that typical Tammy offering .

Thud's muvver ... Always makes me think this aircraft started production only 5 years after they stopped making Thunderbolts. These days takes that long just to complete the feasibility study .

Preferred the original Cannibal Holocaust , that is a real class film 🤮

Didn't they eat each other or was that another film ?

He was one of a kind ......& like them all died way too young .. .. seems like a cue for the second track of the album ...

Thanks peeps I really need to get around actually finish this !

A bit old now but this Japanese film I enjoyed a lot , paints Yamamoto as being driven into war by internal political forces against his better judgement . One can argue the veracity or enjoy the action

The missile sneakered up on it !!!!! I'll get my coat .

Fun fact - Viv Stanshall grew up in Shillingford , which is where we used to live till last year.

So apart from the EE Lightning being the finest fighter ever for shure., I have a soft spot for the old Widowmaker. Back ...no ...........way back when ...no even further back please ......, in my trippy dippy psychedelic youth , my love of prog rock was strong , and this particular album has happy memories . As far as I know it's the only album soley dedicated to an aircraft model ( don't correct me if I'm wrong) , Linky link .......so for your delight and delectation , please join me down the rabbit hole of 1974 and the magnificence of Bob Calvert's / Hawkwind's meanderings .... or just sit along for a build log and ignore the music ...it probably hasn't dated well. . Either way I'll be singing along . Enjoy ... or not .... Laterz
