I dont really see a problem with the Eindecker as access is easy all round, its trying to work through the slot of upper and lower wings that defeats me. :)

Doesn't mention warranty Bob, just says one careful owner ?

The flying DH-9 brought back from the Indian elephant stable cost several million to buy ship and restore , it was for sale at £1.5m, it now reduced to £1.2m with no takers. Shuttleworth is its natural home but they cant afford it , if i had the cash i would buy it and donate it. :) They should...

I just bought an H&S Eclipse because i couldn't get spares for my badger anymore. That said if i could have got them i would never have given up on my Badger renegade krome as it was excellent for all i used it for.. The only report i have on the H&S so far is the air line is cheap and nasty...

Its simple maths Bob 8 shows a year ave of 5000 people per show , average of £45 a show = £1.8m a year Plus all the fees for pitches and merchandise etc i bet they clear £3m just on the shows . I would stick my neck out and say the museum couldn't survive on its entrance fee alone so the whole...

Looks like i was right about the bumps

And the drinks cabinets are rubbish :-)

I will finish this :) but i will take from it some hard learnt lessons. Stop buying old kits, especially when they are more than they were new 15 yeas ago. And i must stop this after market thing, i haven't used the gaspatch turn buckles...... By the way i haven't forgotten about the pocket...

I dont know the circumstances but the runway if you can call it that provides a roller coaster ride once you are down at Shuttleworth. Sad to see one of the Druine D.31 Turbulents of the Turbulent team also crashed at another show today. That team has been going since my very first airshows 60...

Hey Greg you'r going to need a sun roof in this truck in case they ever use those ejector seats :-)

I got half way with the rigging ie: one side not counting the control lines then half of one of the under side decals came off stuck to my finger :cry:

i have never used them Saul ? i did actually look to see if they were commercially available for 1/32 the other day, its a definite possibility but i do actually have hundreds of old decal sheets , its just the WWI stuff that in short supply. There were so many styles over the years for RAF and RFC

another save.... I actually found some roundels with the darker blue here and the white border so i am better off now than i was at the start of this episode :-)

If you ever want to remove decals, or paint for that matter them Mr Color leveling thinners is your friend.. this took less than 1 minute and its safe on the styreene I found another pair of decals so just need to slash some paint around with my new airbrush and hope the next decals stick...
