Bit of info that might be helpful, i fitted a buckle slightly crooked on my DH9 and i tried to bend it and it snapped so get them lined up when you blue them

I seem to have taken up residence in the help pages........actually i feel at home here :rotf So this is my first attempt and if things keep going well it could be my only attempt I got quite an edge with the masking tape but it sanded off The pin stripe is just some cut up decals, its...

Wow......:-)

Yea looks like an underside RAF Grey

~Its getting a good design on one side that is beating me :) i cant do what the reference bike has as that has a central filler and it looks odd with a shape going through the filler and the tank decal badges are large so they need to be on an all silver or all blue back ground. I would still...

Some straight lines would be good -), my problem is getting the design to look symmetrical as the tank isnt,...... the filler is offset and the tank has indentations which mean you get a good curve from one angle and it looks awful from another. there isn't one straight line on theis tank for...

Nothing nice about the french cheese eating surrender monkeys.

F35D ?

How am i going to do that pin strip ? PS its a much older bike but the factory colours are the same

"I recall the support given behind the scenes to both parties." The US helped us out with AIM Sidewinders for the harriers :) ..................and France supplied Argentina with Exocet anti ship missiles that sank 4 of our ships. :(

If you played that over here you would be lynched.. its a hugely emotive subject, 1000 people died including 250 British forces. We lost 2 Frigates, 2 destroyers a landing ship and a landing craft to a tin pot dictator but thats a price worth paying to defend sovereignty and ensure the...

I am getting there but is a slow progress waiting for each step to dry A couple of pin holes to sort and the real test will be how a gloss coat will reflect

The carriers are completely dependent on F35B models and we dont have enough to equip both carriers and the waiting list for delivery from Lockheed is now into the 2030's . The advantage of an f35 is its autonomous Where as a F15 cant go in before the electronic warfare aircraft have cleared...

AK grey ? I tried rubbing it back today as it had overnight to dry and i think my problem is i do it wet and it turns the dry putty back to wet putty, i might try a filler primer at this stage as its easy to strip it back and start again. I thing the beaten up tank might be even harder to...

I still think the plug leads look over size but i have measured them at .8mm so that makes a true life size 7.2mm which is probably on the smaller size for rubber leads from the 1950's. I think its just that the engine is very small being only 110cc a pot and a 2 stroke. The original tanks...

Thew UK is lumbered with F35B models to work with our completely useless carriers. The B model has less range , less payload in fact its a serious compromise on the A model. We made a massive mistake in ordering 2 carriers when the world was in a different time. We made an even bigger mistake...

I cant make my mind up about the F35. apart from the radar signature the F15 is better in all respects so they are placing a huge amount of faith in stealth it seems. They USAF are flying the F35 and 15 out of lakenheath now and one looks like sleek sports car and the other a bit like a box...

Unfortunately i cant do filler or blending, last time i tried the think i filled the gap 4 times and each time it just contracted as it dried . I can never get the stuff to key so as soon as i sand it, chunks fall out :)

Petrol tank is a nightmare, 2 parts .......might not be from the same kit they are that far apart :rotf

I ended up with 2 parts satin black 1 part metallic black and 4 parts white....its not really what i was looking for but it will do the job on this bike side case just balanced in place
