Those 'ghost' roundels are great. A really neat touch that just enhances the realism.

Don't think I've used the kit wheels on any aircraft kit I built since returning to the hobby, even the Tamiya Spitfire, F-15 and F-16! As you say there are so many other options now. Personally I'm really intrigued by those 'soft' resin wheels from Halberd Models so I'd love to hear from anyone who's tried them out. They've been mentioned over TOS but as has been highlighted here, there aren't many over there who's opinions I'd trust to be unbiased!

Nice Harv. I've seen plumbers use these in 'real life' scale to bend copper pipe but never seen them for modelling. $5 seems a bit of a steal.

Thanks Phil. Most of it is now primed in Ammo Brown Oxide primer as a base for the rust but our spare room where I work is now full of 'junk' with the kids returning unexpectedly early from Uni! May be a bit before I can make some progress.

Looking good Phil!

Glad your having fun Dale, Hope you were using acrylics not lacquers! Nice bit of classical Greek scholarship there! Those lectures you're listening to are obviously good.

Lovely job Ernie. The seatbelts do look pretty good for PE. I truly hate PE belts especially for jets but no-one seems to do the paper type for anything much post WWII

Nice little tutorial Tom. Easy way to do it without them becoming too heavy.

Probably won't be a problem Carl and it saves a lot of cursing. I used masks for the fin flash on my MkXVIe and they were a pain in the ass to get aligned correctly. The 'spare' bit hanging over the front edge stuck to other things, the other side and me!! My wife wasn't impressed by the vocabulary.

All that scratch work looks great under a coat of green Cees. Glad the move went well. There's a lot of confusion over here as to whether you can move or not under the current restrictions.

Just came out late last year I think Smitty. Decent reviews so far.

I'd go Mirage 2000D Tamiya F4U-1A to be done as a FAA bird RFM Firefly to be done as used by the Fife & Forfar Yeomanry. That'll do as l have enough other things to get finished as it is!

That's a decent size. I have the Mjalso cabinet which is about 18" deep inside and a 1/32 F-15C fits okay at a slight angle, so plenty big enough unless you like building Clunkmeister size!

Great to see this back underway!

Looks pretty nice for a first try. Kudos

Hi Rob That's a ridiculous difference! It almost looks like a 48th & 32nd comparison. Looks like your option 3 may be the best if you can get delivery.

Only built a couple of those Dale but the JS2 is pretty straightforward.

Nice, Not a Harley model I've ever seen over here.

Nice bike!! Custom job??

Have a good day Hubert.

My hospital department is diagnostic imaging based and we've basically cancelled everything that isn't cancer based or urgent in-patient work. It's work at home where you can and minimal contact otherwise. There has been talk of redeploying people but they haven't approached us as yet. As a physicist my skill set isn't immediately transferable but I'm willing to push trolleys, drive deliveries, whatever's needed. Our problem with working at home is that the IT restrictions on accessing anything from home is extremely tight for data protection, patient confidentiality, etc, so it's mainly emails and committee stuff that can be done.

Stunning work again Peter. Very ingenious touch to get the crimped edge.... another idea to try and store in the old noggin in case it's ever needed.

Neat, simple idea Steve but an obvious way to help. Amazing how sometimes the simplest ideas help the most.

Great job Dale. Really nice realistic weathering. Glad you managed to get the aerial rigged.

Great result Steve. Doesn't seem to have been as much work as it looked like it might be. I can't imagine that working with decals over that area is a piece of cake either, so probably just as much work for a 'nicer' result.
