  1. I dont know but know a man who does ..........".Craig " "Craig" OC.
  2. Great find craig, nice seeing you back on it wondered where you had been mate. OC.
  3. Found this pic on the net - this is where my farther worked at the beginging of his service, also quite possibly doing the same kind of work. OC.
  4. Evening all - hope everyone is ok, so it continues - next stage is the cockpit seat assembly, same build really as my other spit, rear bulkhead/armour plate/seat/base/pedals and columb, these were glued together then I did a bit of magic - dry fitted the assembly inside the fuselage. No secret it pops in from underneath. OC.
  5. Found a couple of links Mark - http://www.shipmodelsocietyofnewjersey.org/resources/Downloads_page/Lining Off your hull for planking.pdf https://www.syrenshipmodelcompany.com/resources/PartTwo.pdf And from our very own - OC.
  6. Same as what everyone has said - a really nice build of an interesting subject, also great to here the discussion on it. OC.
  7. Hi all, a little more progress - just cleaning up the front engine cowl seams, also added the smallest amout of putty. OC.
  8. Hi and welcome, is this the Corel kit? I part built one in the forum. OC.
  9. Great seeing you back hope your in good health, in your absence I completed a build of The Black Pearl from Piarates of the Carribean. OC.
  10. Yep KP as Edward said despite the pit falls of the kit you are getting there, some kits certainly test of skills and patience. OC.
  11. My first ever kit age about 7 (me not the kit) was a Red Arrows Gnat aircraft I only glued the wings on back to front and got the canopy glued to my finger - so I guess it happened to us all. OC.
  12. Evening all, I did a bit more work this evening - firstly I removed the tape and checked the seams, these needed just a bit of sanding (but no filler I dont think) this was a supprise to find two companies who manage to build kits with quite high build standards - it also makes my first observations what I first started to build this kist (in my earlier build log - Not Eduard one) as being incorect. Anyway next off was to fit the prop cone bulkhead, then when set I had to fix one of the exhausts stcks that had broken in two, this was fixed then glued in place in the recess - same the other side, then I got the engine cover and test fitted it, quite a bit of scraping and sanding was needed to get a good fit - then this was glued down. It needs sanding and cleaning up whne its set. So here are a couple of pics including one of my Supermarine prod line. OC.
  13. Thank you for your interest Kurt, and your very kind word, I havn't seen that vid but I do pay a lot of inteest in the BoB flight as I have a friend who is one of there pilots. OC.
  14. Like I do on my plane builds in the forum - its a great way of showing raised detail also. Still loving what you are creating Mark. OC.
  15. There is an old saying - "Keep calm and carry on" you are a fitting example of that saying phil, your work is just pure lovely to watch unfold. OC.
