Just what I thought old boy!

 

[Catch22]

Was looking for an A-7 or an F-14 and stumbled upon this:

Hopefully glue has an effect one mine!

 

[Lucky13]

What will become of that one then?

Finally....... The last piece of my Swedish 'what if'.

 

[Catch22]

Probably Navy there Jan, not really looking to convert anything.

Very nice score there Jan, would like one of those myself!

 

[Lucky13]

Well, then you're in luck mate! Airfix will re-release these in August I think it is, for 27 or so smackers!

Navy, eh? Not even a Canadian 'what if'?

Oh no, that's the last thing I need!

That's not a bad idea Jan, I'll give it some thought! Got plenty of decals laying around.

 

[Lucky13]

Well then.....no need to think about it, do a Canadian Buccaneer d*mmit!

Well I just ordered this kit Squadron.com

Why? cause it was on sale and it's another kit I have never done other than a couple of Hurricanes and Spitfires over the years.

 

[Catch22]

You don't see many Fulmars Tim, and it looks like you got a good deal.

My Super Hornet and decals arrived today.

 

[Wayne Little]

Will we see the build Tim?

 

[Trebor]

I wanna get this Heller Constellation, but I saw someone post their progress on that and I was amazed at how little detail there was on it. where was no interior...absolutely no interior. with the exception of a very limited cockpit. but it's a 749 constellation...in 1:72 scale! I'm torn guys, what do you think I should do?

 

[Catch22]

For me Rob, it'd depend on what the price is more than anything. I doubt you can really see into it much, but you could always detail it somewhat yourself? If it's a plane you want, and they price is decent, I don't see why not!

 

[Trebor]

yea, but the thing is I wouldn't know how to scratchbuild a full interior to save my life. and on airline hobby supplies, it's 34. on Squadron it's 23. plus there's barely any decals for it. I REALLY wanna do a TWA silverbird.

 

[Airframes]

It's a pretty good kit Rob, and believe me, even if it had interior detail, it wouldn't be seen through the small windows. If you really wanted to have something visible, then some folded card to represent the seat backs would do it - one line down each side, as that's all that could possibly be seen. Easier to paint the interior matt black or dark grey, with maybe a few windows painted on the inside in white, to represent the window blinds or curtains.

 

[Trebor]

yea, you're right, Terry. I would just do the interior a nice gray, is probably the most I'd do. what airline did you do yours in?

 

[Crimea_River]

So, no ashtrays in the armrests?

 

[Airframes]

Mine was built nearly 30 years ago, for a friend, in the old BOAC colours.
Andy, the ashtrays aren't allowed these days, even in vintage aircraft .......
