Ducati 1299 Panigale S by kpnuts 1/4
Old Collingwood replied to kpnuts's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
Something very special about a Duke same with Aprilia's. OC. -
Yep its anoying we cant use upstairs or downstairs main lights, we have to use lamps and temp battery operated lights like on the stairs bathroom etc. the electrician didn't want to wait around we could tell he was very anxious about being at our house incase he/we caught something goodness knows how long we have to put up with it for - it isnt a problem during the day. OC.

No progress today, our power went just after midnight this morning I was up trying to fix it through the night as it affects everything our gas bolier needs electric to work - that wouldn't come on, our internet runs off the electric (doesn't take batteries) and of course no lights so all I could do when not trying to fix the problem was to edit pics on my laptop trying not to run out of battery. Anyway it was still off 12 hours later our landlors got hold off an emergency electrician whom came out (imagine the difficulty social distancing in a small house - poor bloke sufferes from ashma) he checked it and the fault was with the lighting circuity so he isolated it and got the rest - sockets, heater, internet to work. Dont mention the fridgefreezer - you can imagine 12 hours off. Wasn't very enjoyable I had to catch up with some sleep this eve - hence why nothing has been done on the Spit, it will though tomorrow. OC.

F-16c 35th FW Misawa "803" by Javlin-Tamya 1/48
Old Collingwood replied to Javlin's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
Yep I was at the airshow this side of the pond last year RIAT19 and we had the US Viper display team throw around an F16 till they broke it, they had to abort the display and land. My pic. OC.

Thank you for those kind words EG - means A lot. OC.

Thank you Kevin. OC.

Remember - a pank will only go where it follows a natural profile, that is the key work from the keal also work from the wast, but let the planks guide you, this is what I discovered. OC.

Cant believe it over 12.000 views just on a model plane. Thank you all so much. OC.
-
Thank you kindly EG, yep its just a "Bag it job" to mask all the fuselage minus the area to be re sprayed, then after a few days another blast over with the top coat. OC.
-
Just took these pics of the bits in my box drying/de gasing, it shows the damage to the Left rear stab (I used a little wet and dry it has gone through the paint a bit so I will have to mask and re spray the Grey section). OC.
-
Bit of a funny tail (didn't know if I should post it earlier) - when I was top coating my fuselage I was holding the mossie by one of the rear stabs and wearing a throw away glove - all normal at that point, anyway I then went and grabed the other stab (that had just been sprayed😮) and got a loverly Black finger print on the camo. I was outside yelling ####$$$$$$$&&&&&& couldn't believe it (dont put down technical ability when stupidity spoils it) So now I have to decide how I can rectify it without causing too much damage to the camo - possibly a very very light wet and dry to try to remove the fingerprint. "Fun and games - fun and games" OC.
