    A4K panel/HUD?

    4 blades do have less noise and vibration but for power and efficiency, less is more. When a prop passes through the disturbed air created by its neighbour on the same hub it produces less thrust. The most efficient propellor is actually a single blade with a mass balance on the other side..

    Love to hear what your mate who commissioned it says!

    I bought a book called dam busters at war by some guy called Morton or something..honestly the most agonisingly boring thing I've ever picked up..how can flying a supersonic tornado bomber in hostile Afghanistan be so dull.. ..sounds like the modern RAF has become a hopeless politically correct pit of beaurecrats these days..unless the book becomes stunning in the last 50 odd pages cos I've never managed to finish it

    Let me know how you go because I contacted them about a 1/48 Phantom canopy which they still advertise as a new kit on their site and they keep claiming its out of production. I think that's a fob off..I'd be interested if you get the same reply.

    Beautiful..are you sure that metal sheet on the engine mount is on all the spads? It looks suspiciously like a repair ( maybe a doubler after a hit by AAA! )

    Looks great Kev, nice pics. What was the results for the aircraft..ie top speed (over a standard early spit) and did it break any records?

    Looks like a bit of 3d printing going on there..what do you think?

    RNoAF, I did a tint on an F16 canopy once..it wasn't perfect but I used future (or local version of future) mixed with a combination of yellow and black food colour from my wife's cake stash.

    I see those little "hook" or #2 decals on other (mostly jet) aircraft. What do they represent? Is it a structural point of some sort?

    Don't use a soldering iron near white metal..from experience I reckon white metal and solder have a lot in common

    I remember the 75th..? Anniversary airshow at Whenuapai when the big 3 came over in a surprise arrival formation; F111, Mirage and Hornet..made an awesome sound! A real growl but one of them making a sort of "blue note" hum. I had a look in the mirage tailpipe later and I remember being surprised there was quite a bit of surface corrosion..think I was about 10..

    Hi Shaky, nice work! Question; do you have a reference pic for the jet pipe. I'm not that happy with my attempt at "burnt iron" and that foil rings a bell in my memory somewhere. I might have a go at foil if you can prove it for me because that looks quite good ;-)

    Oh man I want the full size one..anyone got one to trade?! :-/

    They can end up costing flowers, a dinner and a show if they're on her when you take the fibres out!?

    Wow how lucky are you!!?? I've sent maccas my cv dozens of times and can't get a look in..what's the trick
  24. hamfists nz
    Wow that looks great! Just swallowed up your preshading a bit though. I haven't tried preshading ..yet, but in my next build! Can you get it back out again? (Advice for the inexperienced?)

    There are so many kingairs flying and their pilots might want to build one..kingair would be better economically?!
