very nice mate

not much today as i start nights tonight, but ive made a start in the instrument panel

ok 2 things too know about this kit, the tolerances between parts are 0%!!! and you really must trim and test fit every part, the second thing to know is that you must invest in a good set of tweezers and a third arm ok, im still assembling the cockpit, and there's plenty more to go, to my eyes are aching for the concentration so thats it for now

Seat in

well not much done as ive been boarding out the loft and adding shelves to SWMBO's craft cupboard anyway..... seat is done with the addition of some eduard belts, the shoulder harness will attach to the armour plating and be added separate

final update of the day not sure you could see the hairspray effect that well, so here some photos of the 'foot' marks before after and there it is in place thats it for today

the the history of the plane reveals 2 things, the sharks mouth was there before the extra sqn markings were applied, ie originally it had a black nose(as seen in the photo) but later in its life, its nose was painted blue and the checked markings on the fuselage were applied so that makes me think the mouth wasnt the same colour as the nose, as it would have been applied previously at a different station please bear with me this is going to be a slow build in this photo the checkers have been applied and reports for the aircrew at the time and shortly after state theses were white and blue

thanks will do

HI can somone point me in the direction of any 1/24 Airfix Hawker Typhoon threads, ive tried searching using the function at the top right but no joy, i really dont want to spent the night going through the whole forum what im after most are build and research threads thanks in advance Mark

they are the same, i have built both if you are in need of the decals for either pm me here or on mmm as i have a spare of each sheet

cheers mate, i always like the 2 seater and just seemed fitting for the RAF

cheers guys

well done mate

Well im sure im about to upset a few people, but i dont mean to and this is soley for a Fun GB on my forum anyway i give you the Blizzard In 1985 the RAF was on the hunt for there new ground attack aircraft, however there plan to continue with the Harrier programme in to the GR5 and above hit a stumbling block when BAe announced that the harrier could not carry the weight of ordnance the RAF specified, Hence the decision was made to down scale the amount of Harriers the RAF would get and supplement these with the american designed A-10 however for use in the RAF this was extensively modified

this may help with the Condor info http://www.uboat.net/technical/fw200.htm

thanks nothing brillian just a bit of fun to lighten the mood

built this as a change from the normal, completely out of the box, a lovely kit to build, not perfect by a long way

dont forget the liberator, and b17 they were both employed by costal command, ive built both in 1/48

i plan to build one of these at some point, i tend to have a long term big build in the background while my normal builds carry on, a friend has this and its a lovely kit and needs very little doing to it

Yep definatley DACO

i believe the Arado 196 was employed "The plane was loved by its pilots, who found it handled well both in the air and on the water. With the loss of the German surface fleet, the A-1s were added to coastal squadrons and continued to fly reconnaissance missions and submarine hunts into late 1944. Two notable operations were the capture of HMS Seal, and the repeated interception of RAF Armstrong-Whitworth Whitley bombers. Although it was no match for a fighter, it was considerably better than its Allied counterparts, and generally considered the best of its class. Owing to its good handling o

i believe so, i cant check at the moment as the email with all the details is in my hotmail account and im at work and its blocked from here ill post up in the morning after my night shift (im in the UK)
