Looks great and different from the usual paint scheme! One thing: why the insignia on the top right wing?

there are so many variations on this, some photos show it some dont, once i built it it looked bare so added it

ive got a tonka looking at me, but i want to do it in the 2014 tiger meet scheme

[Bell x-1 - come back build]

well firstly id like to apologize for the lack of wip posts, but ive had a lot on my mind over the last few days so locked myself away in the 'office' and didnt realise how quickly the build was going together, it was never going to be a long build but never the less

 

 

 

 

so all was going at a steady pace then next thing i knew it was done

[Building during COVID-19 Virus]

ive just spent an hour reading the official UK detailed report (for work)

 

the 'live' virus can reinfect up to 14hrs from on hard surfaces, other surfaces such as carpets clothing, potentially longer if the virus has something to feed off, ie dirt and grime

 

scientist believe the virus does not go dormant and then come back to life (which some virus's do) so when is dead its gone

 

Hand washing will NOT kill the virus, however it should remove it off your skin, its touching things then touching your face, mouth (including cups and utensils, that spread the virus

 

Alcohol gel if its over 60% will kill the virus however alot of alcohol gels you get in shops are 40% so are not effective, the only other know form of killer is 1000c of heat, so unless you nuke yourself (not advisable) thats it

 

they predict the virus, will kill its self within 3-4 months,  and all the panic will be over

 

the virus its self is NOT a flu virus, it is a virus that gives the same symptoms as the flu, however it drastically lowers your immune system, when people die they dont die directly from COVID they die of a secondary illness, possibly even a common cold

 

hope that clarifies things, this info is from the UK official guidance given to quarantine teams

[Building during COVID-19 Virus]

Well sadly no bench time for me, im a mental health nurse and hae been drafted in to set up a quarantine unit in the hospital i work in, leave canceled and back to work for me
