  1. Seen smaller crevasses on documentaries about the Antarctic! Hope you've got a lot of filler to hand Rob
  2. Some frightening stats around about how many youngsters (and not so young...) have died taking extreme selfies like this.
  3. Ah that's a real shame. Hopefully the new decal will sit nicely over it. Hope you've got lots of flesh paint for those legs!
  4. RIP, he produced some mighty fine builds. Condolences to those left behind.
  5. Nice looking belts. Hadn't heard of that manufacturer before, so must check them out. Recently did the Mk XVIe and they are great kits but I'd just say watch the engine alignment if you want to get the cowling covers to fit well. Great start here though.
  6. Didn't I see it reported somewhere recently that they've pulled the plug on this as it wasn't particularly stealthy at all and was too expensive?
  7. I'm in please Ernie and I'll donate a Trumpeter A-7E as I somehow managed to order a duplicate.
  8. Having built the Trumpeter Jug my main piece of advice would be to join the spine inserts to the fuselage halves and then join them, rather than as the instructions show. Gets you a far neater finish. Looking forward to seeing what you do with this.
  9. Nice stuff James. I take it it wasn't 'buy one get 5 free' on the Tempests?
  10. Lovely final result and the jug gives a great sense of just how big this beastie is.
  11. Yep, that was worth a snigger, but also ingenious! You obviously don't have a dog who gets to roam free where you're modelling. Our 2 would have thought .. oh, cool a nice bed ..
  12. Nice fix. Cammo looks lovely and worn
  13. Nice solution and looks so much better
  14. I can't begin to comprehend how you fit those bolt heads etc so accurately!!
  15. I'll go with TJTX. I use the Mr Surfacer 1500 black thinned with their Levelling Thinner and you get a great finish although it does stink. I'm always masked up but my wife is never too happy if the smell percolates through any other parts of the house. Hence I tend to prime when I know she'll be gone for a good while!
  16. Looking good!
  17. Superb work again Rich. Such attention to detail in places that'll barely be seen.
  18. Have a good one. Hope you get all you want.
  19. Great example of the exhaust discolouration on the upper wings!
  20. Yeah, I think we sometimes overlook just how nice our landscape is here. When you get the weather there is no place better. Just don't rely on the weather too far ahead!
