Ah HA I was wondering when someone was going to do one of my favorite jets. Are you starting another build log?

Yep the Mig eater.

OC.

I decided to do a bit more on mossie as the tv was rubbish,   so  I thought I would have a go at the props and spinners, these are a Three piece  unit considting of the prop  a backing plate and the spinner cap,  first I  cleaned up the prop  and discovered it was a bit to thick  and lacking shape,  simple adjustment  by samding it to reduce its thickness  while also giving it some shape.

I then dry fitted  it.

OC.

Really nice work Mark   coming along fine.

I have the TAK02045 kit and I can tell you that its an impressive kit.

Do a build here  Jeff,    I would be in.

OC.

Hi all,    thank you for all the likes and comments,    so  while waiting for the paint on the fuselage to harden,  I decided to do a bit more detailing on the wings  with shading and highlighting  to give it a bit of realism.

I have much the same. It's called a "Smart" phone but 99% of the features I don't bother with. I only have one car that it will link to for hands free talking while driving and as I said before I don't do texting. My fingers are too fat and I keep hitting the wrong keys. I have used the camera a couple of times and I linked it to a quadcopter that I bought for my youngest and occasionally pretend to be teaching him how to fly.

 

Yes I do remember about aviators. Back in the day EVERYONE had to have a huge multi function/expensive Seiko watch that told you the time back in the world as well as where you were. Had  a stop watch, split timer, and probably twenty five other functions that you never used. I still wear a watch like that and still just pretty much just use it to tell time!  

 

Don't you mean color OC? Black and white is so old school.

Yep  Black and White Lou, my phone is that old   lol,   nah suppose it aint  just dont do "keep up with the croud type thing".

 Three for the Swiss variant ... interesting

It really stands out  Carl   different from the normal  schmitts.

OC.

J-705  looks superb    German - Swiss   perhaps  (does that even make sense)?

Deffinatley  looking forward to this.

Just answered my own question  - Switzerland was neutral  during the Second World War.

Has anyone else heard that Trumpeter is planning to release the following 1:200 scale battleship kits:

 

Tirpitz

Be still my heart!

In case you think I'm joking, take a look on Hannants website, and all three have placeholders for their inventory. 

😀😃😃😀

What I am keeping my eye on for the very very distant future when I become rich  is  this  - 

Atlantic Models Resin 1/350  scale of  HMS  Edinburgh   batch 3  type 42  RN Destroyer

Sorry to have de railed  your build Craig.

I am still on this by the way, just havn't done anything else to it   while concentrating on my other Two builds, I will continue  dont  you dare go away   - wont be long.

OC.

Here is a pic off the net  showing a flight of new Seafires  (Mk 11's  I think)   they were delivered to Lee on Solent  where my dad did some of his service.

OC.

Im sure my late farther told me something about this  -   it was quite a rare event as Lee on Solent  airfield only had small  runways  so to get  something B17 size  land there was quite a thing.
