I have used Swann Morton handles and blades for over 50 years and have never had the issue that you are describing! Looking at the pictures of your blades and the handle, I would say that the two are from two different manufacturers and whilst they may ‘fit’, they are not meant for each other, with 1 or both even being Chinese copies and not manufactured to the same tolerances, hence the loose fit! The Swann Morton blades can be a bit fragile and snap when being used but the are my knife/blade of choice!

I also believe that Simon Kohler (Hornby MD) is leaving!

Looks great; not my subject but hope that they sell well! As for ideas of what next, anything from Airfix 1/24 range to start Typhoon and/or Hurricane first, then maybe in something for the Revell 1/32 Beaufighter and the Sea Venom FAW.22!

That’ll be a set of each for me then! Oh, and that noise you can hear in the background, is my bank account groaning! -
Go on, tell us that the throttle quadrant actually works! Looks brilliant…

That’s modelling in a nutshell, enthusiasm dips and wanes at which time, it’s better to move on to something different, so your work doesn’t become tedious! Sometimes I think that we forget that you are a mere mortal, unable to split yourself into many different Ali’s, things will be finished, when they are ready and not before!

This build is leaving my senses befuddled and unable to express myself clearly. My smack is well and truly gobbed! No, that’s not right… My truly gob is and well smacked! That’s not right either… Gob truly is and my well smacked! One more go… Smacked and gob well my is and! I give up…. I’ll just say brilliant!

Not a wine drinker, more a ale drinker myself! As usual, what needs saying, has already been said but I’ll go with ‘bloody fantastic’! As usual though, I do have a question which is from memory, the kit instructions don’t give an awful lot of information regarding the internal build, engine and landing gear mods, leaving that to the modeller to discover this information themselves, what information have you got and if drawings, are this readily available? Cheers

Takom Apache Aftermarket Detail Parts - The Future is Here

I also do not use Facebook or any other platforms that maybe out and see no reason to start! As for missing out, it goes both ways, as whoever is producing these items and selling direct, is also missing out on potential sales! I get that setting up and running a website can be tedious, time consuming and possibly expensive but why not sign up to modelling forums and with the permission of the forum owners, advertise their items in a vendors section of the forum, assuming that the website owners are happy to agree! I realise that there maybe modellers that do not use forums as well as social media sites but would have thought that forums would catch more than just facebook et al. -
Surely the understatement of the year! There’s no ‘should’ look the part, they look just like the real thing

Think I said in another post, that I couldn’t think of any words beyond swearing to express my view on Peters’ builds! Now, as long as you all promise me, not to connect all the capital letters, I think that I have found the words needed!

That PE looks stunning, but what came first, the PE or the Airacobra? In other words, was the airframe printed to fit the PE or the PE drawn to fit the airframe? I’m aware that you need to produce dimensional drawings to create camera ready artwork, for the photo etch process (I used to used Photo Etch Consultants in another universe) but what have you used, on which to base the drawings on, official scale drawings, scaled down or drawing by eye, so that they fit and look right, if that makes sense
