My 2-bits. I wish you luck!

A 1/700 scale life ring is a bit small for the "spade grip" on the flying stick, but the 1/350 version is WAY to big, so I went with it. The throttle came out as I had hoped! "A Hint of cockpit" came along nicely. Quite so. I put Winkle's DVD on while my Sweetie is at work. "Eric Brown. A...

Paddy, This is a pretty cool picture! Is it near Mr. Whittle's home then? What is the difference between a "roundabout" and a "Circus" in UK?

I thought you might enjoy seeing my little pink bottom. The oil cooler vent was made from a tiny resin boat. Flight Leftenant Gerry Sayers' Gloster Pioneer is the subject of this build. That is LELLOW!!! I went quite deep in to the archives to find this dusty bottle of excellent paint...

It so big, it seems like cheating! Given your great affection for detail, I can easily understand the appeal!

$600.00 AUS for this kit?! The Great Scout and Cathouse Thursday, Mate!

I wanna see it run! I have to know if the propeller blast will propel it across your desk! :yipee:

It's time again for the Spring Break daily Gloster Pioneer update! I thought I should show you my pretty pink bottom. Undercoating for the trainer yellow paint in Model Master Piping Pink enamel really makes the yellow pop. I didn't load quite enough pink in the Aztek, so I'll need another go...

The little Pioneer is coming along. I did a bad job of hinting at panel line replacement, but I had to do SOMETHING. Getting the seam out of the nose air inlet wasn't as daunting as I expected. God be praised! Some militant sanding stick black-smithing went in to making the kit canopy align...

The classic FroG tooling includes 2 pilot figgers. The big one is certainly W/4041's test pilot, Flight Leftenant Gerry Sayer. The other is so small, I thought maybe it was Captain Eric "Winkle" Brown. Research shows that Winkle was at Farnborough (Farnbruhh, of course. hem.) during testing...

Ding, ding, ding! We have a winner! Give that Man a kewpie Doll!

I muse often, about how the close air support mission in Korea would have gone if the P-47 Thunderbolt had been the deliverer of goods.

I know nothing of this "Polly Sealantness". Bartender? White Man Make Crazy Talk! You Rush Chemicals?!?! Loose spektacals?! Offend Great Spirit. Washte.

She's coming along nicely! :good:

Nah. Testors lacquer stuff is impervious to water, if applied evenly. It's you that always says "I don't care what subject it is. It a MODEL!" I encourage you to continue! :good:

Old Guy model tips for Old Model Airplanes: I Like to mask my gaps and joints in most cases, to keep my Tamiya putty from running amok. Removing the masking tape reveals a more civilized application of putty. See? I use Tamiya Thin cement to thin Tamiya putty and spread it more evenly...

Using RAF interior green as a primer, I sprayed Tamiya LP-48 Sparkling Silver lacquer on the insides of the jet intake and splitter. Guys! This stuff is amazing for NMF finishes. With the fuselage halves closed up, you cain't see much of it, but it's P-P-P-Purty! Finished seat with initial...

I needed an instrument panel to hold the p/e panel and stick that the old Novo kit doesn't include. I never did care for separate control surfaces. Aircraft on the ground largely rest with the controls in neutral positions, and most modelers don't deflect the control column anyway. Separate...

Some of the bitty parts are pretty cool!
