Martinnfb Posted February 27, 2019 Author Share Posted February 27, 2019 Thank you Harvey, Hubert has recommended Derek to me as well, but it seems that Derek has disappeared . It has been a while since I saw his on-line presence last time. I hope he's ok. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always loved the Beau, but have never built the old Revell kit. I'm loving what you're doing with these old Jurassic mouldings. Thank You Ernie, we shall see how righteous is this fight once I place it side by side with Tamiya Mosquito 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martinnfb Posted February 28, 2019 Author Share Posted February 28, 2019 I know that substance abuse was really trendy in the 70s, but this passenger seat is plain-trippy 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted February 28, 2019 Administrators Share Posted February 28, 2019 Like a bean bag chair... Not even close to being as bad as the La-Z-Boys in the Hobbycrap 1/48 CF-100 though. And yes, I see Derek on FB everyday. We’re all chuckling at each other’s goofy stuff. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martinnfb Posted February 28, 2019 Author Share Posted February 28, 2019 So I scratched the internals according the drawing above, later realizing that the foot release housing was sitting in the centre on a plate hat was partially covering the parachute hatch....Hmm I hit it with thick coat of paint so you can see the carnage 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
