  1. But they're not in a bank of three with 7, 7 and 6 louvres, therefore they just won't do!! Anyone have any ideas how to produce the louvres I require? It's fun this hobby ain't it?! Steve S.
  2. "The Devil is in the detail" James, as I'm sure you know!! I'm trying to build this version as a B.35 so louvres, shown in the "new" plans for parts J1 to J4, apply and as I'm only a 'kit basher' with limited skills. I'm looking for Neil to "save my bacon" and bring them out - or does this suggest even more boxings of even more versions coming in the future?? Exciting ain't it!!?? Steve S.
  3. I notice that Neil isn't showing the louvres on either side of the carburettor intake trunks introduced from around the B Mk 25 - this would enable later versions to be modelled like the B Mk 35. Also, now that we are in the 2 stage era, the possibility of night fighter and H2S equipped versions rear their heads - delicious! Just saying! Steve S.
  4. Looks like you're making a good job of the instal! Look forward to seeing more.
  5. Spot on review Jeroen! Looks like Fly have a winner on their hands!!
  6. This is very good news!!! Anyone know when we can expect them? Steve S.
  7. Thanks Jase, some excellent pictures there! Steve S.
  8. Going deaf with all the self trumpet blowing!!! Seriously - congratulations to ALL you fine modellers!! You are serious inspirations! Steve S. (founder member of the "Serious Brown Nose Club")
  9. These, and your Spitfire line up, are really great! Terrific display of modelling skills! More please! Regards, Steve S.
  10. Hello - sorry if this is a little cheeky, but I know a lot of us use multiple web sites in our quest for a modelling 'fix', but i've been having problems getting on to LSP Forums - they just refuse to load!! So is anyone else having this problem?? Regards, Steve S.
  11. 'Give the folks what they want' and 'leave them smiling'!! Brilliant review James!
  12. Really good progress - at last! Is it too much to hope you'll have this on show at Telford this year?! Regards, Steve S.
  13. Yes I do!! Beautiful, especially as you painted the lozenge! Work of art!
  14. Hi Jase - if you change your mind ref scheme, let me know. Yes I must have been lucky 'cos mine is complete if a little 'rough around the edges'. My difficulty has been with the 'umpty' parts that are required to bring the front of the aircraft together in some semblance of neatness, but I'm getting there - slowly! I love the aircraft and despite this kit fighting me all the way I aim to have it ready for Telford complete in NMF and 526th FIS markings. God loves an optimist!! Keep at it, it does go together I promise. Steve S.
  15. Jase - so glad you've picked this"Dog" up right now 'cos I'm in the same boat in that what little modelling mojo I have has been seriously depleted by the same problems you are currently encountering! The nose area is seriously over engineered but, thinking ahead, KH has an eye on the K/L release which can't be too far in the future. My nose ring is sound but I still have the fit problems and the need to re-instate panel lines and rivets. What keeps me going is knowing that one of these took 2nd. place at the US IPMS Nats just recently so clearly, with a bit of effort and perseverance, a good representation can be had. I really wanted this kit and have gone so far as to buy the Zotz sheet, which looks really really good, to build more than one! Right now mine is languishing on the 'shelf of doom' whilst I regroup and have another run at it. Hey ho!! All the best and 'feel the positive waves' I'm sending you!! Regards, Steve S. P.S. - my offer with the decal sheet still stands.
  16. Zotz sheet arrived today and it's beautiful! My offer still stands. Steve S.
  17. Nice review Jase! You've now 'motivated' me to send for the seat belts for my build. I've ordered the Zotz 'Sabre Dog' sheet and plan to do the 526th. CO bird so if you fancy one of the other schemes on the sheet, let me know. Also beware of and take your time with the 'over engineered' front fuselage assembly - it's a doozy!! Regards, Steve
  18. Three generations of the Summerfields will be present at this wonderous gathering of aeronautic beauty on Saturday!! Blenheim,Seafire, P.36, P.40 and now a DB engined ME109G! 'Heaven is a place on Earth!!'
