Gooood heavens ...... even his mancave is clean!!!!!! Mine looks like a plastic and paint bomb has gone off! Not enough work going on there come on we need more!!!!! Taff

Very cool Kev - always nice to see the first child let wild in to the world Good luck with the new venture - looking at the quality I think you'll be fine and do very well! Taff

Like it a lot and the end result is brilliant - really enjoyed the build tread it was a pleasure to watch Taff

Nice looking real good Love the fact you can take the engine cowl off - very nice touch Taff

Ouch!!! feeling for yer mate Got try these things. Don't know if you can cut it out of Frisk as that is a very low tac - used to use it on my Illustrations for that reason so almost no chance of lifting the work I had already done. Or another thought. I take it these are hand painted on the 1:1 so how about cutting out of a thin paper and using spray mount - use Acrylic and you should be able to clean the glue off with a bit of lighter fuel ..... don't think it will effect the decal underneath? I'm sure you will work it out Brian. Another note I see I have been Photo-!uckit (Pay-up or your pictures get it!) thanks for nothing!!!! which Photo home are you now using Brian as it seems to be working for you? Cheers Brain - And good luck - hope the Maiden went well...... I was 13 when I sore them at Oxford Apollo as the support act to Saxon - loved then ever since .... god I had hair them days!!!!! Taff

All that Geoff said - with bells on!!!! Glad that bits done now on to the next - hurry up please!!! Taff

Hi - Yep the seats from Harold where separate items but I would think are very rare now. could always pm him as he is on here, I sat the twins in mine as its an in-flight - there is a link in my sig if you want to take a look at what I did, If I do another - which I would most probably but a RAF one as it is an airframe my dad used to work on - I would take the route that Eaglekeeper is taking and do a mod scratch build to get them. I am afraid that scratch and adapt seems to be the only route for anything for a Venom. Saying that if you can make the rails you now have some options with AM on the rockets! Cheers Taff

Hi good luck there wasn't much around when I built mine - just ended up scratch the bits I could! Harold had some lovely bang seats for the Navy bird but OOP now me thinks. Good luck mate look forward to the build when you get to it. Taff

Jeeeeeee Wizzzzzz Brian your not hanging around on this one - finished by the weekend! Great job and I'm enjoying your updates whilst I try to get my Mo and Jo back together - more please Taff

Ahhhh Peter - don't give in. Go off do something else less boring instead!!! I'm with Chuck is it just surface? Then some polishing and a dip in some Future - I use Quick Shine Floor Finish from Lakeland - could be your bestest friend. Feeling for you mate ….. but you have walked a thousand miles into the unknown with this one already - don't give in yet I'm sure with the expertise on LSP someone will come to your rescue!
 fingers crossed for you - Taff

Bllllahhhhhhha Blllllllllahhhhhhhhhhh Blllllaaaaaaaahhhhhhh - ahhhhhhhh! - fell off chair!!!!! Next please - Taff

Nice one mate - cool scheme should look pretty good when done! Enjoy the camping - Taff

Hi Gazzas - Interesting read and some good knowledge. I have been painting for - hmmmm to long 40 years plus with oils, so it's a medium I know well - lot of the quick dryers are fine and do what they say on the tin. I just use them sparingly when painting as I like to keep the working time for my paintings. As for modelling with them. the method I use is to stick blobs onto kitchen towel or a bit of cartridge paper - let as much of the linseed oils absorb out. I then mix the solids down in a pallet with Turpentine or Turpenoid, which ever I have at the time. I make this to whatever consistency I need - Goo to Thin Wash. This, as a carrying medium, evaporates out quicker so reduces the drying time. If you have used enamels make sure you give it a seal first. Also the less and thinner the paint used the quicker it will dry. If you click through some of my builds - eg Hurricane IID - you'll see how I'm using it. Also being a painter I am a bit addicted to the smell of the paint and Turps! So anything I said above could have been under the influence!!!!! So drying mediums - yep do the job….. But I find buying kitchen towel or cartridge paper a lot cheeper and even on thickish paint I find this method comparable. So might be worth a try see how you get on! Just to say I have never shot oil paints in my Airbrush - and not sure thats an experiment I'd want to do!!!! But hay let us know how it went? You never know we might all be missing a trick! Happy Days - Taff

Nice should look good all shiny and sleek. I did a similar thing with the Sea Venom I built. I gave it a bit of twist to try and make it a bit more dynamic. I used sone aluminium pipe I got from a DIY store it was the perfect diameter to fit the pipe and once it was polished up looked quite nice Also a plus is you cans see top and bottom without cranking your neck around. Look forward to seeing the finish article - Taff

Nice job Ron worth the wait! Taff

Cooooolll bring on the pics! Taff

Wow that does look pretty darn good !!!! Are you using it in a Dio? If so what you going to stick her beside? Cheers - Taff

Hi great kit and a great looking subject - I built one a couple of years ago …. the kit can chuck you some fast balls in some of the areas but in general goes together really well. Funny my Model masters pitot was bent as well you'd think they would give it a bit more protection in the packaging! Really looking forward to the finish should look funky in those colours! Taff

Hi Nico - Looks stunning in blue and very nicely weathered. Does the camera bits come with the kit or did you make your own? Cheers Taff

Sounds like someone needs a bigger show case you know it makes sense!!!!!! - Taff

Very cool looking bird mate - I watched and enjoyed your adventure with the build but looking at those pictures all its growing pains where well worth it !!!! So it will be on to the Airfix big brother to sit beside her No!!!! Excellent job Peter - Taff

RIP Richard Hatch - Gone but not forgotten!!! Thanks for the entertainment And cracking job Vaughn love what you are doing here! Taff

OHHHHH - So many kits that I have been waiting for!!!!! So there goes this years pension contributions Taff

Coooool Me WANT - cant wait!!!! So do it in flying pose showing the sleek lines or tackle out ....... or do I just buy two!!!!! Taff

Loved the first film - WILL be seeing T2 ASAP Taff
