New 1:32 F-4 Phantom Family Coming in 2022
Cees Broere replied to spruebrothers's topic in LSP Discussion
You can always do a conversion yourself using the Revell kit, the Aerocraft conversion set and Flightpath nose. Relatively easy, broadly speaking. -
RAF FG.1 XV571 WILD HARE Phantom Conversion
Cees Broere replied to Anthony in NZ's topic in Works in Progress
Anthony, Its all your fault. Thanks to you I had to persevere and look what happened. I have ended up with not one, but two UK Phantoms, a FG-1 and FGR-2. The horror! But seriously, as that Collins chap used to say, I still think that dreary grey livery you plan to use is wrong. -
Thanks Thierry, and you are of course correct, but hey I have never shied away from a challenge. Until a good kit becomes availabe I have to cobble something presentable together. With all due respect the MDC Typhoon is terrible. Uneven fuselage halves, heavy warping of parts.

Thoughts about Possible Future Kotare Releases - NOT a wishlist
Cees Broere replied to MikeC's topic in LSP Discussion
Good to read that this is indeed not a wishlist topic. Sorry, didn’t bother to read all the pages. -
Morning chaps, Interesting thread. I am currently working on a Revell Tiffy combining the Barracuda Tempest nose correction. After two major RAF Phantom conversions I wanted something simpler hohum. Although I always liked the Revell kit, though basic by todays standards, it’’s a good starting point. But the starboard cowling panel never seems to fit without serious filling and sanding. The fit of the resin is doable but the difference in wing thickness should be interesting. Has anyone experience with such a conversion? Cheers Cees

That scissor link really does look good Anthony. Very nice reference too as my FG-1 is in the decalling phase. -
That’s quite some progress, a splash of paint blends everything together nicely.

Remember that Spit/Hurri debate was made up by the press. And has led a life of it’s own. Nothing to do with reality.

Indeed, One-oh-four and I have had a good look at the built op model. It looked great. also two canopies, one of which is intended to portray the slid back hood. The Revell representative confirmed that a Mk I will follow.

That’s the Malcolm Goosey cockpit section indeed. -
Question regarding SAC metal landing gear
Cees Broere replied to Cees Broere's topic in LSP Discussion
I bought the Aerocraft Models brass set yesterday. They look great and the joins are pinned for a strong join. Although very expensive, they are really worth it. -

Nope, that one is at Duxford awaiting conservation work. The one at East Kirky I built over a period of 14 years and was acquired by them in 2018. -
Question regarding SAC metal landing gear
Cees Broere replied to Cees Broere's topic in LSP Discussion
Thanks for the advice chaps. -
Morning all, The 1/32 Manchester is progressing very well now I have a set of 3D printed Vulture nacelles. The model is getting very heavy and I think the HK Models landinggear parts are not strong enough. I was thinking about using aftermarket ones and noticed SAC does a set. But what about strength? Does anyone know? TIA Cees

Cees Broere replied to notanotherrainydaykit's topic in LSP Discussion
There is indeed a B17 cockpit project in the UK, and also another Lancaster cockpit built by Malcolm Goosey and one being built in Amsterdam ( no not mine). At East Kirkby there is also a Halifax cockpit on show soon in a new display. -
I will be there and bring the A20G testshot with me.

Just got home and brought the complete example with me that was on the stand, courtesy of Neil. It’s a great kit with lots of detail. The stressed skin looks fantastic. Cheers Cees

Not another one of these threadszzzzzz………

A Mk VII, such as NA337, fully restored at Trenton, Canada.

Lancasters weren’t any good at towing gliders, let alone a Hamilcar. For that you need a a Halifax II or V. Cees

My Meteor, built as soon as the model was releases, doesn’t have any undercarriage gear issues. Never have been aware of any either. Cheers Cees

RAF FG.1 XV571 WILD HARE Phantom Conversion
Cees Broere replied to Anthony in NZ's topic in Works in Progress
Come on Anthony, get off your backside and get this beauty in gear again! -
Morning chaps, still very much alive and kicking. I check LSP every day. Very pleased that Tom will be working on the Stirling. He is the best modeller for the job. Haven’t been active on LSP for a long time but that is due to the photobucket foul up. These days I only post pics on LSM. In the meantime I have finished The Fgr2 conversion and working on a FG1 at the moment, the Manchester is also being worked on again. And that FM Halifax, tjeesh Tom, how about finishing the Stirling as BK716, I have been involved with that for a long time and her story is very interesting. Cheers Cees
