Worth the effort Glenn, they look great.

Very nicely done Geo !

Nice shots Jeff. Bob Hoover's "Old Yeller" is now with The Flying Bulls at Salzburg, finished as "Nooky Booky IV" - hoping to see it at Sywell in June.

Thanks Geo, got that. I haven't checked further for other airframes in the Mk.21 series converted to contra-prop, but as far as I'm aware, this fitting was on trials aircraft (possibly for Seafire development), and I don't think saw service apart from that.

Great to see a Mk.21 in the GB, and I wish there was a full, injection-moulded kit in 1/48th scale. However, as far as I'm aware, there was only one Mk.21 converted to trial a contra-rotating prop, Serial No. LA218. I presume that the extra prop blades in the kit are for the Seafire variant...

Yep, I'm a tad displeased about it, and more so about the terrible, inefficient "service" from Evri couriers, who had two weeks notice about the address error, and still f***ed it up ! But hopefully I'll be able to make a slight improvement on the kit front and rear turrets - even if I do...

Very nicely done Ralph. I have never seen that item on any Spitfire - no idea what it's supposed to be.

No in-flight refuelling on the Bulldog, so it'll take some time to get there ....................... coat's on, door's open !

Thanks Glenn, that'll be very useful. If you could provide the approximate dimensions, I'd be grateful. I think the Koster turret kit has gone astray. It was returned to sender on 6th January, and I haven't heard from Jeff at Rare-Plane Detective, so presuming that Evri couriers have f***ed up...

Beautiful work, and good luck with the check-up.

It is goat skin - but the goat was a fat bast*rd !!

You're not wrong Evan - my leather A2 jacket is quite heavy !

Evidently the wrong tomorrow ! Sorry chaps, wrists have been a bit stiff, so nothing much done yet. Back soon ............
