Guess I'll be looking for a Flickr alternative for my aircraft photos then...

Beautiful as usual Jon, but once again, ARC is squashing your pics. Fortunately, if you click on the image you can view the "unsquashed" version
I'm amazed at how perfect the finish is, every panel line is clean and straight, the surfaces perfectly smooth. Your builds are what I aspire to.
Not squashed for me

Here is the Plexus website:
It acts as a final finish that fills micro-scratches and cleans up residue. It acts and smells just like Pledge furniture polish. Maybe it is!? 😉

FWIW we used Pledge furniture polish in the RNZAF to clean aircraft canopies. I always wondered why, now I suspect the answer is that Plexus is the same as Pledge.. but Pedge was cheaper 😄

Traffic here was down quite a bit before PB went with the nuclear option. I’m sure that didn’t help things but don’t think that is the root cause. I’d be curious if other forums are also seeing a decline in traffic? LSP seems consistent, not on HS or any others enough to notice any changes.
From what I see most forums have less traffic these days.
I frequent 4 or 5 forums (here, HS, Brtimodeller, Aussie modeller and Kiwi modeller) and all bar Britmodeller seem to have less traffic than they did pre facebook. That said I actualy find myself checking out ARC more often as it doesn't have hundreds of new posts a day. I find I can get my fix in 30 mins or so.
IMHO Facebook is definitely the reason. it's so simple to join groups you're interested in and post a quick image, especially fro niche subjects. I build 48 armour and it's only place I go for that sort of content. It's alsos good to get news on new products. That said it's rubbish for long conversations

Nice work. You don't see this scheme often, which is a shame because it's quite attractive
-
Lovely finish Jon, I love Mr color as well but I'd never get that sort of demarcation.
I really like the ejection Seat grab handles. I think they look very convincing, great idea.
I enjoyed the article (as usual). I know you don't do stores/weapons etc but you really should. : D -
Sharp work Gary.

Doesn't everyone use the unread content function?

I didnt follow 105 pages of discussion but dont understand why people are complaining about options, if you dont like the extra parts, just give it away, or put it on a seat and sit on top of it.
Then perhaps you need to read some of 105 page to understand what the issue was..

Good luck with the build. It's a bit a hellish journey depending on how accurate you want it. I'e not seen a post 1405 S-702 built (project Sea 1405 added the FLIR and a whole lot of other lumps and bumps to the S-70B2) . I don't actually know if anyone ever did a conversion, and if they did it's rare. I think you'll be scratch building a bit
My pre 1405 build log is here, the finished build here
My walkaround is here -
Looks great

Well I'm happy they've given us a traditional canopy. Whinge and win is a saying I use a bit .. in this case the whinging has paid off
I'll give the multi part one a go, I can see some advantages of this approach. But it does rely on things fitting perfectly.
-
I'd like to see the clear parts. I hope you did away with the multi part canopy
-
great set. thanks for sharing
-
Alex, what paints did you use for this one. I'm tempted to do a similar scheme

The few times I tried it I found the Hairspray better than the "chipping fluid".
Hasegawa parts?

Clearly state what you are after eg 1/48 Hurricane Mk IID Kit # JT52, parts L4, A5, J7 and J11.
Enclose three (3) international reply coupons (purchase from the Post Office) (last time this cost me $10 AUD total including post)
Post and wait 3 weeks. The parts will usually appear in the post with some flyers. I have used this service 3 times. Twice I got the parts within 4 weeks the last time it took 4 months but the part did arrive. I expect they didn't have any replacement parts available at the time I wrote and had to wait until they did another run.
