I thought that picture looked a bit modern :-), its the Canadian flying Lanc impersonating this.

Of course the funny thing is "Pirates" only talk like that because robert newton did in treasure Island , no one ever talked like that before Disney invented pirate talk :) Its actually an exaggerated accent from the south West of the UK.

The radiator pipes are white metal to give them shape but they supply a length of black heat shrink to cover them which works really well and gives a good realistic finish. A trick i can use on other builds :-)

Yea you are right, i just wanted to post some pictures as i thought it was a common interest , i have edited my other posts.

So this is the rebuilt frame with the old cross member to show the difference, its 10x stronger Below shows the joint with the added sleeve slid down and fixed, again 10x stronger and here it is with the radiators attached and well supported This time i have tapped the radiator holes...

Thanks Steve :) When i came to mount the engine in the frame at the back it was noticeably crooked. I tried to bias/bend the whole frame and it fell apart...lol The rear top section is so soft, the radiators mount on it but if you pick the assembly up by the cross bar it just bends into a...

T On the uniform thing Wiki says "Military musicians of the period wore the reverse colors of the regiments to which they were assigned" which would explain the Red.

Not political because this is a State visit hosted by the King not the government. I dont know what sort of coverage you have over there but i thought you might like to se these pictures https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c4gqd70v496o in my 65 years this is the biggest state visit i have...

Cripes i started reading this thread earlier with notes on Trainwreck Chili. and fast forwarded to heart problems...and i copied the recipe down as well., should i add a defibrillator to the essential ingredients :- ) Take care mate, stand ya ground and repel all boarders .

My problem is , as Bob pointed out a few posts ago "i wouldn't have it any other way" :-) I was looking for a genre that really stretched me and i think i found it. The bottom line is ...is the end result worth the effort and looking at the 2 bikes i have built they are without doubt, streets...

I tried some heat on a sprue and it melted very quickly, i dont think its an option but i will look into ultra low heat solder. Semi gloss bl;ack And balanced with the chassis I am going to experiment with detailing the rear as its seen (unlike the front ) to see if it really adds...

The rear space frame, engine and suspension mounts is tricky. They cast in the location pins but not the corresponding holes. There are basically no right angles so all the holes have to be drilled at an angle which dictates the the shape of what you end up with :) Is this correct ? i guess we...

The problem is Paul this white metal is basically solder so imagine 1.5mm solder on a real and you see that even putting the model down on an unever surface will bend things like the sway bar. It will be a case of going round everything when its finished and adjusting things. My worry before i...

I would love to see someone else have a go at one of these, it would give a bench mark. Is this a silk purse from a sows ear..or sows ear from a silk purse 🤣 Normally i would not be very happy with thisso far but actually its a learning curve and i do feel i am gaining some good info from...

The separate dials from Quinta look very good but the complete panels are poor, i bought them for my FW190 build and i didnt use them they were that bad . 3D Print doesnt seem to work well enough to make it an up grade from std Decals, in fact its often a downgrade, especially if you want...

Thanks James They look nice and sharp , maybe they will do the placards and engine plates eventually

The airscale decals are nice but i wish they would increase the resolution, the problem is they sell some of them as specific US/RAF/German decals but TBH they all look the same because of lack of detail.

Today i did something i have never done before. Got up, 8.00 am started playing about with my latest project model above 10.00 am and spent the whole day till 7.20pm at the bench :) the joy of being retired and single :cool:
