Its funny how we all do things our own way , i recently looked at a jig for holding motorcycle models that was basically 2 adjustable pins through the axle holes front and back. It looked good but.......i couldn't see why you would want to put in a jig so every time you pick it up you have all...

Ah........now you mention it i completely forgot to rig the undercarriage on the DH-9...... I cant see your repair which means its probably better than fritz would have done in the field :-)

I bought this today off ebay Its a Protar 1/9 AJS 7R motorcycle , the bike is about 1959 (like me ), the kit about 1970 originally but i cant find any details. It was re boxed and re issued over the years but Scalemates dont have a time line for it so no idea what this issue is or whether it...

I was going to say this thing fought me all the way but in truth i think i fought it 🤣 My interest in the build was blunted by a series of awful decals., no ones fault after all they were cartogragh but age wasnt on their side and patience wasnt on mine. Looking at the pictures the gun mount...

If people are interested i will keep this page updated ? As its in my neck of the woods and i belong to Shuttleworths site i get updates I might be accused of being really optomistic here but it looks to me like the whole wing section and spar, engines and undercarriage etc are complete...

Its not the method or materials, its me :-) I have done all this before and turned out a reasonable job. When i joined here is was fifty , now i am on a down hill slope to 70 and its hitting home that i cant do what i used to. My fingers are twice as thick now 🤣 , i can feel much in the tips so...

structural rigging is done but another chunk of decal fell of the top roundel, its the 4th attempt at those and i give up, shame really it had the makings of a good kit, i will finish it but its place is already reserved in the bin 🤣 I have tensioned the wires with a soldering iron but its...

I dont really see a problem with the Eindecker as access is easy all round, its trying to work through the slot of upper and lower wings that defeats me. :)

Doesn't mention warranty Bob, just says one careful owner ?

The flying DH-9 brought back from the Indian elephant stable cost several million to buy ship and restore , it was for sale at £1.5m, it now reduced to £1.2m with no takers. Shuttleworth is its natural home but they cant afford it , if i had the cash i would buy it and donate it. :) They should...

I just bought an H&S Eclipse because i couldn't get spares for my badger anymore. That said if i could have got them i would never have given up on my Badger renegade krome as it was excellent for all i used it for.. The only report i have on the H&S so far is the air line is cheap and nasty...

Its simple maths Bob 8 shows a year ave of 5000 people per show , average of £45 a show = £1.8m a year Plus all the fees for pitches and merchandise etc i bet they clear £3m just on the shows . I would stick my neck out and say the museum couldn't survive on its entrance fee alone so the whole...

Looks like i was right about the bumps

And the drinks cabinets are rubbish :-)

I will finish this :) but i will take from it some hard learnt lessons. Stop buying old kits, especially when they are more than they were new 15 yeas ago. And i must stop this after market thing, i haven't used the gaspatch turn buckles...... By the way i haven't forgotten about the pocket...

I dont know the circumstances but the runway if you can call it that provides a roller coaster ride once you are down at Shuttleworth. Sad to see one of the Druine D.31 Turbulents of the Turbulent team also crashed at another show today. That team has been going since my very first airshows 60...

Hey Greg you'r going to need a sun roof in this truck in case they ever use those ejector seats :-)
