I'll second Chris's recommendation. I've been fascinated with the Battle of Britain, ever since I was a young 2nd Lieutenant. There's also a video of this book.I watched in on our Public Broadcasting Network. Seems they played many British programs -
That was pretty common, here in the US. Photos of the first in a series of rolling stock and steam locos were actually whitewashed to show off the underframes and running gear, since these were black and white photos. The practice disappeared with the advent of the post war colorful diesels and color film.

Nice recovery, Roel. And yes, the black line is almost invisible.

It pays to shop around. And you're lucky to have a "brick and mortar" local hobby shop. Many have closed or are generic craft stores. My last local shop now only does internet sales.

Jaguar XJR-9 LeMans by CDW - Model Factory Hiro - 1:43 Scale
Canute replied to CDW's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
Most of the castings look fairly crisp, with no marks/flash from the molds. These are pewter cast? -
Make sure you have a file card. The softish metal can clog the teeth of these tiny files pretty quickly.

Good luck in Boston, digging into the various museums, etc. Very historic city.

Rob, good luck with those rivets. I salute your endeavors. 🙏
-
Riveting parts? WOW, I haven't had to do that since I built an old Bowser/English locomotive kit. They did include a riveting tool in the kit for peening over the rivets. You two are heroes, in my book.

Interesting mods, Andy. Looking forward to this build.

Nice touch by Hiro-san. She'll be a beauty.

Most excellent, Glen. And the chain base was the icing on the cake!

N scale rivets? I can't imagine laying those decals.You must be working extreme lighting and maximum magnification. 😄 Excellent work! 👍

Yes, "Pips" Priller. He was one of the few Luftwaffe aces to attack the Normandy beaches. He was immortalized in the "Longest Day"" movie. This was his mount from the Battle of Britain. I did get to meet Adolf Galland at a dining-in we had a Bitburg. Galland was our after dinner speaker. He was some muckety muck in the West German Luftwaffe in the 1970s.

The "Emil" looks good, Craig. One of the Abbeville Boys?

I built a model of Gentile's Shangri La back in my "yoot". I am in, Phil! 😄

Mike, what's the name of this Czech PE source? That fret is chock full of parts. Thanks.

Nicely done, Andy. 👍 Beautiful paint job. What's not to like about a shark-mouth! 😁

I'm in for this one. Had a housemate back in Germany, mid 70s, with one. His Porsche was a darker blue metal flake. Factory paint. We all had those rubber baby buggy bumpers on our European cars, if built to US spec back then.
-
They're a common sight, but a well-detailed model would be a show stopper. 😉

Look forward to whatever you post on those a/c, Craig. That tow truck looks so cool, but it's way too neat for the typical trucks around here. And that Porsche Carrera will be a jewel.
