  1. That's great! Really looking forward to this..
  2. They seem to be coming from him quite quickly, I've ordered the YS-11EB in 1/48th this month and already have it (sadly, it's at my brothers though as he bought one also and a 748). Hopefully with everything that's going on, you'll have it fairly soon once it's printed.
  3. Hope you don't mind me asking here, but would anyone be interested in a HS748 in 1/32nd? He's said he'll do it if he can get a minimum of 3 orders...
  4. So tempted to order the 48th one, the 32nd one will be amazing...
  5. Few more of this scheme, operated by OMNR - Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources
  6. Cheers, Tom Would absolutely love to do a turbo one, but sticking to a radial machine for easiness.. will get some Eduard B-17 engines on order and use them. One of these two are my final options, not sure which but as they both have different tanks I need to decide.... swaying more to CF-OPZ.
  7. Few photos, chaps. Been a long time waiting... My logic in cutting the front end off is to now build the cockpit from scratch and undercarriage bay, then slot that all in once i'm happy. I've cut away more than I need to so once it's all blended in with the clear parts to it, I'll minimise the chances of any dust going in on the main clear parts etc As I'm building a fire bomber, I've taken out anything I need to and clad it from the inside ready for milliput to flush it off.. any cuts have had superglue on the inside too to make it easier to fill from the exterior also... floor and main bulkhead is cut, so a bit of fettling to get it to fit then i'll work on the undercarriage bay walls... more photos soon. Hope you like!
  8. Decided to get this back out... stuck in the house as i've had to furlough myself. Been stuck in now for 3 weeks and done some jobs around the house (not as many as the Mrs would like though...) and now time for some modelling, was toying with getting the 1/24th Buccaneer out, but i'm so much fonder of the Tracker and fire bombers... Will get some updates up later on today, as progress has been made already today!
  9. Once all this COVID-19 blows over and I have cash coming back in, I think I will get a Invader and @tigger's vacform to use his fuselage and maybe cowlings.
  10. Tom, Eurocarparts do a small selection for delivery (some out of stock/some can be ordered in). Not sure if the Hycote stuff is 'too hot', but i'm sure from memory the plastic primer is OK for kits... sure i've used this in the past with no issues. https://www.eurocarparts.com/p/hycote-grey-primer-400ml-552776101
  11. Can't wait for the Z-37... dream come true! Might as well do a Wilga also so you can get the most from the engine...
  12. Would 100% get a 1/32nd Tigercat in plastic...
  13. Will buy one to sit on... lovely aircraft and a great scale for it. Here's one I shot back in October 2018.
  14. That's a real shame it's not flying now? I caught her in Belgium a couple of years ago.. Would love to build it.
  15. Another vote for Tamiya... love that primer. I've no need to try anything else.
  16. I've had a bit of a mad year already this year (and making the most of my busy period within work..), having sold off a lot of my stash a year ago and having sold off some kits I probably won't be able to replace (they were quite rare), so I've just bought some stuff that I have a big interest in... unusual, German and Russian/Soviet types. This is it now for a long time... Only 1 LSP though, the He-219... but what a lovely kit. Amodel Sukhoi T-4 1/72 Myasishchev M-50 1/72 Bobcat IL-28 1/48th Bronco German oil drums 1/48th Dragon Ju-88/Fw-190 Mistel 1/48th Eastern Express Wilga 1/72nd Eduard Fw-190 A8 'weekend edition' 1/48th Fujumi Alouette III 1/48th Hasegawa Aichi E13A1 Type-Zero 'Jake' w/catapult 1/72nd P2V-7 Neptune 'VSA' 1/72nd TA-4J Skyhawk 1/48th Hobbycraft Cutlass 1/48th Monogram B-29 1/48th Revell He-219 A7 1/32nd Bv222 1/72nd C-160 1/72nd C-160 1/100th Bachem Natter (ex-Dragon) 1/48th Special Hobby Si-204 Siebel 1/48th Tamiya German 3t 4x2 Cargo Truck 1/48th Needless to say, I don't need to buy anything else for a while!! But it's filled a rather large gap from previous kits... and i'm happy.
  17. Love Thailand.... hope you had a great time there! Awesome work on the P-51 though, Peter... just gutted that I may not see it this year. I could be away at this years Telford.. Looks so nice with the markings and stuff on it now.. top drawer..!
  18. Not usually one to pick up errors but it has been said before.. now we've got clearer photos it' quite obvious. The curve on the top of the fuselage, too round... still I will get one.. Could try and square it off, and have the front canopy open to save correcting the clear parts, then not to sure what to do with the back clear parts though...
  19. Progress, finally... Have got the wing done bar the flaps and slats... really happy with the finish, just a little bit of detail to scribe back in. Fit wasn't great, taken a lot to smooth it in as you can see by the large Mr.Surfacer areas. Light coat of primer to check it out and I can now move onto the fuselage and close it up.
