Cheers chaps and happy new year to you all!

Blinkin' heck! There's some work gone into that Tony! Great stuff mate.

 

[T Bolt]

Wow! I bet that took some time!

 

[Gnomey]

Looks great!

 

[Rocketeer]

Many thanx chaps. It is not perfect, unfortunately, but the best I could do.

Do you recognise what it is leaning against?!

 

[Airframes]

Looks like it's leaning against maybe a Hurricane cockpit?

 

[Rocketeer]

well done that man! It makes good lean stand!!

 

[Tony Hill]

I WAS going to say that looks fantastic...but ANYONE who can lean the "start" of their Spitfire against their Hurricane cockpit just doesn't warrant talking to anymore



Well done mate!

Excellent work Tony!

Imagine asking Tony where the bathroom is:
"Go past the Spitfire, turn left at the Hurricane, along past the two other Spits, and turn right at the Phantom and it's next to the Mustang"!!!

You've been to his hou....hangar, then !

 

[Rocketeer]

Very funny guys!!!!

 

[Airframes]

But (probably) TRUE !!!

 

[Rocketeer]

Not a bad day....apart from hitting my index finger with a huge lump hammer. Mashed the end somewhat! The undercarriage pump is stripped and ready for bead blasting, remote contactor mount is ready for top coat, frame 8 is primed...

 

[Airframes]

Lump hammers and human extremities don't mix well! Hope it heals soon Tony, and the frame is looking good.

 

[T Bolt]

Very nice looking Tony.

Guys, I am building a kit of Spiteful NN660 (Gary and I are digging that aircraft up) and used an Academy 1/72 Mk XIV fuselage and wings from a Magna Spiteful....anyways, to cut a long story short, I have managed to throw away the cowling bumps that go above each exhaust stack (part no. B16)....any ideas??!!! These bumps gave sufficient clearance to allow the Griffon cam covers to fit under the cowling!

There might be (probably is) a resin accessory for these Tony; have a look at the Hannant's web site. If not, then they can be made from 'Milliput'.
