Very nice, originally a Royal Enfield

I found i had made my first silly mistake this morning. Given how far i have got i let myself off with a warning 🤣 I have probably drilled 1000 holes so far in this thing but i totally missed the exhaust holes in the head. its been a bit of a rescue mission as i couldn't get a 2mm drill in...

starting to get a bit complicated :)

Great to see you back :)

Ha i just bough a new TV and a new Dyson hot and cold blower......The off button on the TV switches the blower on so when i go to bed and turn the TV off i have to remember to switch the blower off as well :-)

"Promise not to take shots at them! Well maybe they should avoid some neighborhoods just to be safe..." Those Hawks are so old now the neighbourhoods are in far more danger :-) I read the other day that there are only 29 still flying and all are over 80% through their airframe life.

£135 is still a lot but then the new P51 from eduard (which probably wont fit together being Eduard) is £100 so maybe in terms of value for money a WnW for £135 is now good value. My WnW Bristol fighter is one of only a hand full of builds i have kept over the years and the DH4 will sit well...

Bye the way the Red arrows now leave for the US to celebrate 250 years of American independence...If you get then chance go see them , they really are rather good.

Trooping the colour this morning in front of King Charles Royal regiments take turns in trooping their colour and this year it was the The King's Company, 1st Battalion Grenadier Guards celebrating their 370th year. Always a stirring occasion. Regimental colours, usually the regimental flag, was...

Is it me or are the prices for some WnW models coming down now ? I just got this for £135 ? i thought that was about what they cost on launch 10 years ago ?

Yea but thats like saying there is no ground crew because its lunch time :-) anyway the pilot is going top pretty pissed off when he tries to start it :cool:

Just looking at it this morning, nice to see a model with a pilot ..................but an aircraft with no engine ? maybe they will add one as an extra.

The working out how its going to fit together is some on the fun with these kits. Adjustments wouldn't work with this white metal, you couldn't even thread it really its that soft . None of the build has any integrity until all parts are in place as each relies on the next bit for support and...

I have got some of the rear drive on the left here. it took me hours as the hub is basically held in its position by 5 suspension arms that all converge on the stub axel . The trick will be getting the other side symmetrical to this side :-). Everything is very bendy at this stage but once all...

I'm not sure why, but MFH dont like to make parts of any length , instead they will make 2 parts with a stepped joint in the middle like this an easy upgrade is to cut the joints and fitting off the ends and in this case drill them 1mm , cut a new one piece rod from ally tube and insert 1mm...
