Beautiful result Mark, kudos!

Just as well as hydrogen peroxide isn't really what you want to be swigging down.

Our son used to sleepwalk when he was little and he also had a Lego bedroom carpet. It used to amaze me that he would rush around oblivious and miss all the Lego while I blundered about half-asleep cursing as I stood on every damn bit! 😄

Good grief, the wiring detail is ridiculous. Just shows what can be achieved now with these printers

Won't just fly in a circle now...

Watching this with interest as I have this kit in the stash. Received it as a Christmas Raffle prize from Bill Scarbrough a good few years back. Never done a Japanese aircraft so wasn't sure how to approach it but now I've got the Val as well I'm tempted to get them done.

Price isn't as bad as I thought it might be either! I see a birthday pressie....

Gotta love a nice peaty Islay malt! 🥃

We had 87 mph gusts yesterday but we got off lightly on the east coast as Ireland and the west coast of Scotland got the brunt of it this time. We got hammered in Nov '22 by storm Arwen as it came from the NE. It took out about 60-70% of the trees in some of the forests around here and the clearing is still going on in some places.

I spent most of the festive period in bed, from Xmas Eve to 1st Jan, only got up for Xmas lunch which I barely ate. I was vaccinated for flu in October as an NHS worker but obviously not the correct strain! Only second time I've had 'proper' flu in my life and it was definitely worse than the only bout of covid I've had. Wonder if it's the same strain as you've got going round over the pond?

Either those two pilots are pretty short or that fella from McD-D should be in the NBA!

So, this is the next project on the bench. Got the kit at Christmas '23 from the kids and I've been itching to start it but got distracted by Ernie's seductive resin offerings. 😁 Plan is to do the Slovakian scheme shown just because it looks a little different. The kit seems to have a good reputation, so here's hoping it goes together well. Looking in the box you are reminded just what a small airframe this is - it'll look tiny next to the F4s.

Yes, unfortunately they no longer seem to be doing aircraft kits, although all the AM stuff like bomb trolleys and David Brown tractors, etc still seems to be in production. If all their stuff is of this quality then it's a real shame the kits have fallen by the wayside.

Thanks Phil. Mainly just wet sanding and I've been cautious and worn my respirator but there was very little sanding required on this compared to the Viggen. The clean up done on the main fuselage parts, etc by Iconicair before packaging had already done most of the hard work.

If those two are as nice as this was Dennis you've got something to look forward to.
