  1. Well worth waiting for the pics to come through - loverly work Mike and as others have said - so impressive at 1/72. OC.
  2. If you find you glued the wings on back to front - just turn the plane around. OC.
  3. Really nice standard riging, and I agree with hamilton about the snaking. OC.
  4. Landed on the back of a low loader and drove under a lowe bridge.😁😁 OC.
  5. Yep, one of the ERK's threw a rather heavy hammer at the tail. OC.
  6. Hi all, After having our first walk out today walking the dog, I decided this eve to attack the aerial and comms wire, the idea was to drill a tinny narrow pilot hole in the front edge of the tail, (not the easiest operation) - so right, I tried it but combination of not being able to see what I was doing and tiny hand drill bit drifting - result a few scratches where the bit had drifted, eventually a pilot hole was made, next job was to push the end of a piece of fuse wire into the hold and add a bit od ca to hold it, then I glued the PE aerial put a pool of CE around the base and heated it with hairdryer. Then I tried to pull tight and glue (again with CE) the wire to the aeriel - but this was a fiddly not very sucessful operation so I gave up cut the wire away and just left the aerial in place to set. So I have given up on the idea of a comms wire and have marked the tail a bit (never mind) OC.
  7. Or holding a tape rule in front of me and still asking the admiral "how many inches in a foot"😦 OC.
  8. Nah thats an easy one - mine is the looking for glasses that are on head, do that all the time. OC.
  9. Hey thats a really good start for your first planking - so nice and tidy, it will so help your second planking, welcome to the club by the way. OC.
  10. Looking good, always a seminal moment when we glue the fuse halves together - kind of no going back. OC.
  11. More progress this evening - I Painted and fitted the entrance ladder - fiddly to fit upside down and get the drop right, next I fitted the prop/spinners, she is coming on just a few touches left to do. OC.
