    They were quite thick, and no I didn't prepare surface with Pledge etc. I shall do it this time round. Thanks Ken, and welcome everyone to another plastic muddle thru😁

    Hello again! With the F4U-1A finished and waiting for Santa Clause to deliver chapters 4 & 5of my Winchelsea build, I've got a couple of kits to tide me over. This being the one chosen to do first. I believe it is a recent (less than ten years old) kit. I love the sleekness of these aircraft, and they always reminds me of a Sunday afternoon watching "633 Squadron" on the TV as a kid with my dad. The instructions begin with the assembly of the engine nacelle and wings. I dry fitted the parts, they go together well, so the glue went on next was the main landing gear That is as far as I got. I've got a Mig Ammo RAF paint set on order along with some Microsol decal solution, because I struggled getting them settled properly on the F4U-1A. Any advice, tips and hints will be welcomed warmly. Cheers until next time.

    Well, I'm going to call this finished. Placing the decals was done, canopy fitted, and the aerial cable being the final job I put the flash on for these next photos And finally a view through the canopy Thanks to everyone who's followed this build, it's been greatly appreciated. If ever I go with aftermarket parts again, I'll be sure to get the appropriate kit designed parts. The cockpit was a real bear to get to fit! Anyhow, it's on to the next one soon. Cheers.

    Thankyou gentlemen. I'm sure yours will turn out great, probably much better if I'm honest EG.😊 I did a dry fit of the canopy, and was surprised at how much could be seen, which after what I had to do getting the cockpit to fit in the fuselage is quite a relief.

    A wooden ship time capsule, so to speak! Nice little touch! I will now be able to use your Winnie log as a reference, now that you are passing where I've got to😉🤗 on mine.

    Still doing the tidying up, paint touch ups etc.. Started to put the decals on Thanks for the likes and looking in. Cheers

    I've been plugging away on the little bits, like the wheel well doors and touching up the paint. the engine is fitted. Prop on a dry run just a few little bits to do and soon the canopy will go on! a reminder of the cockpit before it is never to be seen again!!!! Thanks for looking in, the likes and comments. Cheers

    I'm in, this is one I looked at but it was out of stock so I got the Pup. It's still out of stock at draf models😔

    Nice car, I'm in

    My thoughts exactly, the prices of what used to cost a couple of quid or less, is getting ridiculous 😵‍💫 My recently acquired Bf110, if brand new would have been, between £59 & £70 depending on who stocks it. I paid £16 on a fleabay auction.

    A brilliant set up for an excellently finished plane, great work Craig!

    Shame about Ramey Upcher, but it looks like you had fine weather and plenty of other things to see. Is that plaque in Sheringham itself? I can't say as I've ever seen it🙄😔, quite a claim to fame though. The pub looks nice, hope the lunch matched the appearance.
  13. Edwardkenway
    Looks good to me. How was your break? Norfolk wasn't it?
  14. Edwardkenway
    and welcome to MSW. Very nice display cabinet, and very nice models!

    Damn Jack, I thought I'd be safe just putting Winchelsea chapters on my Xmas list.....😅

    Scratchie, welcome to MSW

    I don't know how I've missed this Chris, but , are you sure it's a card model!?😉😇 Fantastic work!
  18. Edwardkenway
    I'm in too.

    Small update, after rereading EG s post on the interior colour and the discussion over on Doc Robs tamiya corsair log, I did a repaint on the wheel wells. This my version of salmon pink, one part tamiya flat red to 3 parts tamiya flat flesh. Whilst painting the wells, the repair to the hinge I'd done decided to fail😶😬😔 so now the wings will be glued in the down position 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️ Thanks for the likes and comments. Cheers
  20. Edwardkenway
    Yep, that's what I'm going to do, I'd already painted all interior green but, same as you, will repaint the wheel wells. Your engine looks superb btw
  21. Edwardkenway
    I hope the Admiral feels better soon! I've been thinking about your trial at bending the tail and it springing back to the original shape, and Marks suggestion about a few wires here and there. If you used some clear, fine strong fishing line, it would be virtually invisible and hold the tail in position. Painting looks good, very realistic, dirty looking bleached bone colour.

    Best wishes for your op Bob and a speedy recovery.

    Ross, welcome to MSW

    I got to follow, it makes the 1/32 revell kit I'm working on look very basic😁😊. It's looking amazing so far.
  25. Edwardkenway
    Yep the right side darker on👍
