  1. Wow, that is beautiful! Great finish and I especially like the effort gone into the extra details, particularly the frame that holds the blades and the wire strike kit. Thanks for the inspiration Cheers Anthony
  2. Hi guys As the title suggests, I am looking for the engine fan front pieces from the 32nd CJ Kit if anyone can help me. Kind regards Anthony
  3. Hi Oliver Been through this dilema myself on occasion. Generally I like to try and add as much as I practically can. This ensures I dont atart making a mess of any painting afterward whilst gluing. Tough call, but only you will know how far to strip the engine back to paint yourself. However if you add or remove plumbing before painting I find that running my airbrush at a very low pressure with paint thinned a little more than usual stops that 'grainy' effect you get from the air/paint mix 'swirling' about inside details. I am sure you already know this sorry, I dont think someone of y
  4. Thanks Oliver, and thanks Tank. That video clip from Mr Archer was very interesting and informative indeed. Cheers guys
  5. Thanks Oliver I have the interior covered. The fuse is still able to be split, at the moment as it is still all interlocked together. Yes mate I will trim closely. Should I or do I need to, lay a coat of future down over the Mr Surfacer? I thought perhaps I could apply the rivets and then use sol & set with another coat of Mr Surfacer??? Always open for ideas mate! Cheers Anthony
  6. Thanks guys, really appreciate it!! The BK is definately my first love :wub: and I am enjoying every minute I work on her again. Presently work slowed on her as I was asked to do a commission build (yes, I vowed I would never do another but this one will pay for the prop overhaul on my Auster T7 rebuild and I couldnt say no). Coupled with that my father has been ill and in and out of hospital. We are awaiting biopsy results on his right lung. He trained as a builder and potentially has asbestos issues..... Anyway, time will tell. In the meantime I have figured out the rivet situation (
  7. Hi guys As the title suggests, I have the "Dutch & Japanese" version but want to be able to do the 488 sqn one with the dragon on the side. Any help would be very much appreciated. Keen to swap or buy??? Cheers Anthony
  8. Well my kit arrived safely today....Thank you BPK!!!!! I cant wait to see what you do next.....maybe a 300??? Or even an A320? Anyway thank you for producing such a nice kit of this much needed injection kit. Cheers Anthony......keen to do my NAC one now.....Jen
  9. Wow, nice work Andy....cant believe I missed this post! They look really nice indeed. My kit arrived today......really nice isnt it! Cheers Anthony
  10. Thanks Paul! They do look really good dont they. I am building a 1/48 RNZAF Golden Skyhawk on commission for someone (although I said I would never do it again!)and am concerned about the decals. 1st the opaqueness of the white on the stripes and needing to change the shape/profile of the Model Alliance decal sheet on the nose section......... I can already see a use on my Westpac Rescue helicopter as well! Hows that Longranger coming along, I was enjoying that Cheers Anthony
  11. Hi Dean, welcome to ARC mate, great to see you here! Cheers Anthony
  12. If you are building in 1/32 then I can highly recommend the 400gal tank from Fisher Models...its really nice! Cheers Anthony
  13. Ok Photobucket is driving me nuts! I have crawled all over ex RNZAF FG-1D as discussed in the link many times before she left for the US for rebuild Wingroots were GSB Originally med blue but if you look closely you can see the Dk blue overpainted peeling off Interestingly all the cowl rings there in various schemes were all light grey inside like Avengers Wheel wells were GSB as were the legs. The legs had been stripped and repainted I was advised by the owner, but you could see evidence of GSB as well as it still being on the drag links Cockpit top half was black as was the
  14. Ha, ha, go on mate....no need to justify it! Enjoy!
  15. Haha well done mate! I have been notified that mine has shipped....cant wait! In fact I cant wait to see what else these guys come up with...I really do hope a '300' is coming Cheers Anthony
  16. Oh no...is it me or have we lost our image and postings of the NAC scheme???
  17. Hey Jen, I have in my records an NAC 737-200ADV She is ZK-NAQ 737-219ADV C/N21131 I just need to look up a photo now and confirm it so I can build her. Dont suppose you have one?? Cheers Anthony
  18. Thanks Jen I think it was only the very first one...ZK-NAC, I have a feeling the rest were later ones. But I will have to check my books. I have a big book on NAC Aircraft and it has a huge section on the 737's. I had better check. Cheers Anthony
  19. Ok, thanks BPK! I just brought one!! Now Jennings....how about those NAC decals??? Cheers guys Anthony
  20. Great work, I too would love a -72 as well. Looks like a nice kit. Cheers Anthony
  21. Oh Wow Jen!! That looks stunning You might be right, I remember going to take a look at them being modified and remembering it was a big job then! I will definately be getting some of those decals, and NAC for sure if you do them. I just love that NAC scheme. Thanks again for the updates guys, this has become one of my favourite threads online. Cheers Anthony
