[TL Blade]

Hi all

the line up picture the on closest to the front is Sea fury.
I have just ordered the Kit for Tempest MKII which looks alot like the Sea Fury and I have just got the Kit for the Tempest MKV with Vickers Cannons.

 

[Wurger]

A very nice collection TL Blade.

 

[TL Blade]

Thanks Wurger

Just a quick update I have started work on the first hawker hunter.
But I need a weight in the nose coulld anyone sudject what I can use?

 

[Airframes]

Sure, TL. In 1/72nd scale, you won't need much. A piece of 'Plasticene' from a toy shop with, if you can get some, lead air rifle pellets, or small lead-shot fishing weights. Press the lead shot into the 'Plasticene', and then mould it into the front of the nose. There should be plenty of room in the Hunter. BTW, your models are looking good.
Terry.

Audax
Nisr (Audax with a radial engine for export)
Hart
