Agree the wiring behind the dash is pointless and in any case the back of the clocks are not correct even if they could be seen. You should do a build thread :-) I am sure we would all like to follow your build .

a slightly different approach from last time

That's turned out really well, love the weathering, really sets it off :)

off topic but i saw this, nice diorama but good luck lifting it up on the front fender 🤣

So he was 18 in 1944...makes you think doesnt it :-) at 18 i was trying not to fall of my motorbike on the way home from the pub , he was trying not to crash a shot up Mosquito on the way home from Berlin.

Yea i had to laugh at the lot jeering and laughing at the other lot being filmed getting their post :) these films are great for just picking up odd bits of detail that most would miss :-)

not hugely exciting but original colour film and look how dark the two tone camo is. i think this is right because all other colours seem correct.

Flight Lieutenant Colin Bell, aged 105 and the sole remaining bomber pilot who operated the de Havilland Mosquito during the Second World War, was received by the King at Buckingham Palace on Wednesday. During the audience, the King presented the veteran with the citation accompanying his 1945...

No sky on a Typhoon Bob unless its got a tail band ? Top, Ocean grey and Dark green.... underside medium sea grey. A Typhoon with 60lb rocket loadout was probably the most lethal aircraft of WWII, we have one here under long term restoration to fly :-) just probably not in my lifetime.

I have a larger one from my engineering days but i was thinking ahead about making a dashboard for the my latest build and so i bought this much smaller version. It will be fine for plastic and aluminium but i doubt it would be up to steel like my larger version

James, Coincidently i bought some of that glue that sets under UV light yesterday , not that i needed it but its dead cheap with a UV pen light and i wanted to see how it worked.

Silly little thing but if you need a hole between 3mm and 12mm its essential and under $5 ...

The wheels i want to use are 3D print, they have a couple of square holes in them which i presume is to stop an air trap but if you look at the bottom of the wheel on its supports you get a couple of fillers which are an amazing good push fit as you can see on the wheel on the right. Mud...

I am sure its been developed with future variants in mind. The 1/35 issue would make it a non starter issue for me, sorry to say.

Blimey, I cant believe its been over 6 months since the last rallying call !! A huge thanks to Bob who provides us with this "sanctuary of calm" in a crazy world 👏.

I am glad us younger guys get a mention as well :-)

Great pictures and thanks for sharing. The TSR2 was basically our F111. Ironically it was destroyed by the same party thats still working hard to destroy our defence industry today. I guess the Porsche 917 is Meng or Protar which i think is Panini ? My choice would be the Mustang going round the...

amazing the undercarriage down indicators are still there :-)

Ok, looking at these pictures of my last go at this kit my thoughts are.,, A/ The 4 holes in the engine cover on the RHS are air inlets for the carbs so they need a filter or some sort of streamline shroud. B/ 4x cycle fenders on the wheels. C/ A bright colour, i am leaning...

Looks like a duck gun sometimes called a punt gun :-)
