Yep, no "War Department" here, which is why I was able to both afford and 'just buy' the Do-17 kit from the UK. Wife passed 24 years ago. Dated for a while and gave that crap up 17 years ago. The women were horrible. Does that mean that there aren't any good women out there? No, I just quit...

Actually this one looks kind of cool!

Looking good Greg!

Hunh?!

That "seat" such as it is, could NOT be comfortable. Great job on the bike Paddy! Your bike knowledge is really showing through on these builds. One thing, I opened this thread and this photo gave me a panic attack. Glad it was a fuzzy photo and not fuzzy eyes.

Are you posting from a computer or a phone?

It's just that in the photos they looked more like copper than ceramic which is what threw me off.

To me it isn't the AI so much as the lack of fact checking, poor editing, and totally incorrect photos and videos that are mixed in. ( also poor editing, and checking the final product for accuracy.) I also dislike the AI voicing on a lot of videos due to mispronounced words and incorrect choice...

Well...., I did the preorder. It is a mixed media kit with main parts molded styrene, 3D print parts, and PE. Yeah, it was a BIG bite what with tarrifs and exchange rate. Seems I remember @jknaus getting their Typhoon kit and liking it. I have been waiting ever since the Revell Ju88, and He111...

I see your point, no argument on it. I am sure the question will arise again. Maybe have one that is cjpped and showing the ceramic or something.

Well slightly to the side of this topic, my "Grail" kit is coming up for sale from AirscalePro. A 1/32 scale Dornier Do17Z. It is pricey as hell, but it is also a mixed media kit so the price is probably what I would pay for all the aftermarket stuff to flush it out. It goes on sale at 6PM UK...

I kind of agree there Paddy though I have built stuff in 3D using 3D Studio Max years ago. I can do it, it's just learning my way around programs that are not really user friendly to learn. The worst was Lightwave. Not intuitive at all. Obviously Greg has a really good handle on Blender, so...

I have not had too much of an issue with the paint, but the glue was a whole different story. I have an Ambroid Pro Weld bottle and a bottle that was filled with Zip Kicker. They were both the same size and fit perfectly into these plastic connectors I found at Lowe's. I added a small wad of...

There are some PE micro versions of the frames in 1/72nd and 1/48th, but they are so-so at best. The ones I have seen built usually have issues with keeping the PE straight and unbent, so nah.

There were maybe a handful I could not relate to or understand, but most I got fully. Been around way too many ex military including my brother who was in Airborne in Italy back in the early 90's. He was always the ornery one that would come up with the odd ideas to pull, and usually could...
