  1. Indeed, let’s just let it rest chaps…..nothing is going to be gained by further “discussion”.
  2. Hope you have a great day down there in Oz!
  3. I have plans for a metal one too Dennis. I actually tried cutting some thin metal on the Silhouette....it didn't work! But I reckon I could make s stencil, mask I guess, and try cutting it out. Worth a try, it should have more flexibility than plastic.
  4. Better, but too big: Tweaked, smaller, covering of Oramask: More work needed but coming on well. The last two were cut from 10 thou card.
  5. Ok, a start of sorts. The aspect of the conversion that has deterred me in the past is the canopy. I’ve done a bit of “plunge moulding” in the past and that may still be the answer yet, but thinking laterally I thought I’d give a plastic framework a go first. So using the Bentley plans plus photos: I tried to design a framing structure on the Silhouette machine (this is actually Mk 3): Notice the top section isn’t there yet, still thinking around that because there is a slight curvature either side of the flat: When cut out and “shaped”: It’s encouraging, each attempt yields a little more knowledge. I’m currently using 0.4mm (15 thou) sheet but it’s marginally too thick. When, if, I have the shape perfected, the plan is to put clear acetate sheet on top then cut the frame shape out of Oramask and lay that on top of the acetate, forming an external framework sandwich. Theory v Practice?
  6. I’m another fan of MRP Black primer, in fact I have another bottle on order right now since current stocks in the Mozart study are running low! You have to be very thorough with cleaning the airbrush afterwards though.
  7. Second-hand re-conditioned ones also obtainable in Herculaneum too I understand.
  8. Really excellent! I’ve never seen a WW2 fighter with those large serials on the lower wings, I’d be interested to know when that was introduced.
  9. Yep, that’s the way I intend Alain. There’s an orange-coloured car primer that is slightly thicker than the normal stuff that will give exactly that. Here’s an example on a Demon: And Mike C’s left ear has got in shot too……but we’ll ignore that!
