Jeff Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 HOLY , John, THAT is VERY cool..... are you going to leave it like that or clean it up? If you 'clean' it up I wonder if that will mess with the integrity of the leather liner or the helmet itself? VERY, VERY cool.... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It goes well with two others I have in the same condition. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like in a production meeting, someone could have just rotated the port to 90 degrees. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 The Family Guy version of Star Wars is quite funny regarding this port. Vader pulls the fact that it could be breached out of a subordinate then asks if they could just cover the hole with plywood. He then insists on getting a couple of estimates to have the work done. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DannyVM Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Delivered by the postman today. This is a PK 75 YUAF Flight Helmet which is a copy of the well known french Flight Helmet Gueneau 316! The Type 1151 Oxygen Mask is a copy of the well known Ulmer 82! The paint of the helmet is a tribute to the Voltige Victor aerobatic team!

Martinnfb Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 That is pretty cool Danny. It looks like a brand new gear. So Today I went to the local hobby store to pick up M8/M20 from Tamiya . The plane was to join Ryans build. Aaaand I failed miserably . I was looking at the box with a neat almost sterile picture of this vehicle and become bored. Just no excitement whatsoever , you know guys that feeling when you look at something and the first impression is "how cool is that". In this case it was complete opposite, I has this mental image of invasion forces pushing through Belgium and mud and tires and cigarets. And Tamiya 's box art just killed it for me. Needless to say that Ryan ripple dog dear me and it was hard to leave empty-handed , so I picked up this legendary automobile 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martinnfb Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Just to clarify , it was a complete fluke . I was triplle-dog dared to build M20. Yet 20 years ago I took this picture in the Imperial War Museum and ever since I was looking for the reason not to build it. Weird , right? But then the SAS story, my own service and many different aspects of life ( Phil for instance) made me do it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martinnfb Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Frankly after 4 glasses of Prosecco, I don't mind . I just spent two hours on IWM archives , looking into some weird, seemingly British stuff, realizing that it is all about New Zealand guys. And Tamiya is lying to us. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkarlsen Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Got some of the new plywood wood grain decals Proper Plane. They look very nice to me, not 'pixelated' in the printing, like some of the others I've tried. It remains to be seen how they will behave when applied, but I'm already looking forward to be using these in my builds. Thumbs up, Proper Plane!

It would be cool if they actually announced a new release at the Nats. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
