Thanks Jeff. 

There are strange things done in the midnight sun, by the men who moil for gold....

I’m just full of my old favorites today.

Tied one on last night across the street, and they apparently poured me out of my boots into bed last night.

Joy was not amused. My head feels like a hairy medicine ball.

Awesome buddy.............. and along with all that, I bet this morning your mouth feels like the bottom of a bird cage................ I think that might be a good prescription for me too !   Joy didn't happen to mention anything about ......  lamp shades, underwear, dancing, neighbors, photographers or CNN?  If she didn't, you may be clean on this ........................:rofl:

What a cracking build Ernie, and about as different from the box artwork as you can get, lovely job!

Cheers

Thanks so much Kev.  This ship has been my "gotta build" version of the Lanc now for over 5 years.   Building this is almost a dream come true for me.

‘Roight then!

I found another little issue that needs a small little change. Whatever in blue blazes these camera/light looking thingy dingies are, on this side K26, one thing’s for certain: they must go. They are not on the 10MR

Now, an over abundance or silliness can result in stupidity. Such as here. 

There are many pics of FM104 without screens on the carb intakes, and with HK giving us simple blobs of plastic to represent these scoops, I took it upon myself to hollow them out.   

Great, and yes, they look pretty good, except idiot here installed the inner ones on the outer nacelle a month or so ago. I thought, “dang, these fit like crap!” Until today, when oops, the ones for the inner engines don’t fit. And then I noticed the shapes are different too. So, I managed to pop them off without screwing them up, and now I can put them on the proper nacelles. Yes, they have totally different shapes.

Inners (formerly the otters) are black, correct outers are unpainted

Well, I’ve never claimed to be the brightest of bulbs or the sharpest tool in the chest, and this certainly proves it.

But, onward we trudge, confident in the knowledge that they DID manage to teach monkeys to fly spaceships, so there’s hope for me yet.

Nice saves on the cable cutters Ern.  I didn't know the Lanc had them.  As for that great big square hole in the leading edge...  If we're looking inboard of the inboard engines, I've seen a drawing that shows an L-shaped trunk taking air directly to the fuselage.
