  1. Another vote down for fakebook. This works well. If it can't work here try another forum as suggested above, or maybe through Scalemates. Not farcebook though. For the love of God nooo....
  2. This is all a moot, if sometimes interesting and/or entertaining thread. I hope Steve is OK. My interest in what is wrong, if anything, or his personal circumstances, whatever they may be, end after the word ok in the last sentence above. It's nobody's business but his. I'm a long time member and did drift away for a while. The difference in traffic here from before my break to after was staggering and like above I do fear for the long term here, but its far from dead yet. It is still one of my favourite forums due to the wide range of nationalities, and resulting attitudes/variety
  3. Our (Irish) local model shop chain removed them from sale at the start of the month. They stock Humbrol, Revell enamels, Tamiya Acrylics and lacquers, and the smaller brands (alclad, AK metal etc. Humbrol was always the largest share, easily 60%. Across the chain they have approx €17,000 (retail) worth that they cannot sell and Humbrol refuse to take back. Humbrol knew this was coming and still didn't do anything about changing the formula. I think it's safe to say it's the end of Humbrol here at least.
  4. Sorted on the parts, and thanks to Wardog on one set of walkways.
  5. That's an impressive display. 👏 Beyond that, individually your models are stunning. Really well finished. What scale? We remodelled our living room a couple of years ago, and I lost my display shelves. Still trying to figure out a replacement that will work.
  6. I don't know why anyone thought it was a good idea to celebrate a national day by having a parade in March, on a windswept and wet island. But here we are... I was hoping to get a couple of IAC models done for today, but at least one will be done by the weekend. A double bank holiday here (today and tomorrow) to make up for lost time over Covid. Also as a thanks to the front line health service staff for the last 2 years. Forecast looking good for the weekend so hoping to get out on my bike 🏍. However, it will be somewhat muted this year, not just due to t
  7. Sweet. I have the 68 kit planned as the Bullitt car. How was the build?
  8. Also now looking for tail planes and u/c doors. Trashed kit parts are fine.
  9. Evening all. Have a total of 4 Fujimi E-2 kits in the stash (and one Heller repop of the Lee kit, let's not go there) but only have wing walk decals for one. Looking for any suitable decals from the E-2C or E-2CJ kits to do one B, 2 Cs and a converted C-2 Greyhound from the 80's time frame. Can't find any aftermarket sheets with them (I have Microscale decals for squadron marks & stencils). Looking for any help from your decal dungeons...
  10. She's gone https://twitter.com/Osinttechnical/status/1499352901688385547?s=20&t=sF_zK4ncCc1EvdibllXK5g
  11. An export version of the RN FG.1 Phantom perhaps? Navalised Tornado? Both F.3 for air/ Fleet defence and GR.1 for strike? Actually the F.3 idea is a good one, internal gun, good radar (not the concrete block version) bvr missiles. GR1 good range of underwing stores options.
  12. Top trader! Thanks so much.
  13. Many thanks to Andy for having me sorted. I'll post some photos as i go.
  14. Always welcome spook stuff. Although if it's like the other sheet from around the same time, the glue goes milky yellow a few weeks after you've put the decals on!
  15. Hi Andy. That's great what do you want for them?
  16. Hi all. A local museum is planning an audio/visual display on WW2 airpower and as part of this requires some models to be hung from a ceiling. I am planning to refurbish some built 1/72 models I obtained with a stash sale a few years back. These are ideal as; 1: I don't have much WW2 stuff myself and 2: for the purposes it won't matter too much how rough they look. If they get broken it's no great loss. They are built to a fair/good standard but the painting leaves a bit to be desired. I can repaint but then decals are a problem. Some are painted OK but the decals are falling off. I don't have
  17. Just wondering if this bird was ever done in a 1/72 decal sheet? Serial 56-3053 serving with the 615TFS 35TFW Phan Rang in 1971. Tail code VZ 053. She's been photographed at least 4 times but only one shows as a Google search. https://www.f-100.org/pages/f-100d_63053-2.shtml Any help appreciated.
  18. SBARC is working multiple jobs over 100hrs a week to keep a roof over his head. Updates are low on his priority at the moment.
  19. As an aside, would this work with my sprint jet clone, 1/8 hp as a long term backup? https://www.air-craft.net/acatalog/Sparmax-2.5L-Airtank-System.html#SID=39
