Was this going to be an operation Jericho mossie? Is that a 464 squadron marking?

Should've swallowed their pride and bought a British engine..something named after a famous British river by rolls Royce..(something that developed a bit of thrust)

Gave a bottle of humbrol a shake and started to brush it on..model looked like a wet lollipop ..all the flat was still gummed at the bottom of the bottle

I wonder how many aircraft the russkies lost over the years in landing accidents..they like to build them with a very narrow main gear width and not long from nose gear to main gear either

Don't the Navy ones have the rear wheel in a different place?

That's nice but who is going to volunteer to operate the machine gun at the top..!? I bet that's the shortest job in a war!!

Isn't SKYACTIV the brand name for their later generation direct injected constant variable transmission engines. Fuel efficient and low emission blah blah..all the manufactures are doing it..we've had our first experience with one from Honda..when the check engine light goes on you take it to the mechanic and they decipher the code..inspect the area it indicates, then the surrounding area, then they replace the sensors, then the fuel system, then the ecu, then the fuel rail, the leads including the electronic coil ignition system, then the radiator, cams, crank case, air conditioning system, air induction and filter and lastly the chassis and body..then they give it back to you with the light still on and say ‘we can't figure out what's wrong with it and we're only charging for the time not parts which is $13950'

Any chance of a wide angle shot of the den ceiling thus far..?

Could you ‘slide on' one of the outer wings if you wanted to..are they even built up?

Thanks..I have a set of Ventura ones which look nice but I haven’t tried laser printed ones before and I hear they’re a bit fraught

Hey Anthony if you decide to go all over green would you consider selling your lizard decals if you won’t be needing them in the future?

I was looking at my dusty pile of A4 bits on my shelf of doom the other day and I thought I wasn’t happy with Trumpeters ejection seat. Anyone have a link to the best after market resin one for a Kahu build?

Well it's not available yet but it's an ongoing project..I was being a little facetious..Anthony has been working his butt off behind the scenes trying to make it happen but anyway..join the group of mad Kahu enthusiasts and I'm sure he'll let us all know when it's done! http://forum.largescaleplanes.com/index.php?showtopic=45513&view=&hl=&fromsearch=1

Re. The Kahu mod:It's not finished yet but PM Anthony and I'm sure you'll be welcome to join the group http://forum.largescaleplanes.com/index.php?showtopic=45513&view=&hl=&fromsearch=1

Are you getting Anthony's 3D printed Kahu cockpit? Must be just days away from first deliveries by now!

He gave a bit of a tutorial in the Huey thread

Those command adhesive hooks from 3M don't hang on forever!

Not stress free for the astronauts! Stretched V2 by Wernher that was likely to be a Roman candle

We had a full artillery unit

I can think of a few other frames the Americans have ‘adopted'

Amazing how good British aviation design was after the war and how badly it shriveled away at the end of last century. The Americans and the soviets learnt a lot from pulling apart nenes and tays and rebranding them. The Avon was really the engine that all turbojets aspired to be in the 50s and 60s. The Brits had hawkers, de Havilland, English Electric, Blackburn, Vickers, Avro etc all making top notch stuff and all the Cambridge boys giving away microfilms of it all to Moscow...and now there's ....Airbus

If it's build and fit then it's Tamiya

Speaking of modern it's the first Russian jet I've seen that doesn't leave a sooty trail behind it..looks like they've finally invented a fuel control unit that works!

Also never fear the UAV taking away the jobs of trained ‘professional warriors' because that Turkish UAV will have it's hands full keeping up with Erdogan's requests to blow up Kurds and moderates and the odd Turkish journalist at home in bed with his wife for printing non-approved editorial content
