  1. check the nose gear, some of the original boxings nose gear was missing a part of the mould
  2. so whoever told me the legs fit in easily after its all built lied! they dont, its doable but ive had to make a few surgical cuts to get them in place, so anyone building this make sure you install the top bits in the gear bays first
  3. oh another one, nice
  4. not sure if you can tell in this photo but ive just given her a dirty wash, and will matt coat once its dry
  5. got my kit last week, and out of co-incidence ordered the mask set for this 20 mins ago for this scheme
  6. Im fairly sure using the kit sheet and some of the generic have to sheets you can do most if not all of the line versions, mine will be, a early 19sqn jet if I can
  7. Ita the model alliance sheet, I have a copy and may have some spare, not sure what yet but If you can't get one message me There are photo etch replacements, for each different version, kinetic sell them but I believe its actually eduard who produces them
  8. theres a few more schemes out there already in decal world
  9. im due one soon from revell to review, but having built the kinetic boxing, its a peach to build, im more interested in the decals
  10. so after 2 whole days of decaling ive finally done the top!! (not that you can tell as the grey stencils blend in with the paint) got to varnish her, and flip her over and 'do' her bottom
  11. decaling has started
  12. cheers guys forgot to mention the AIM-132's arrived today
  13. so the painting has been done
  14. sorry for the lack of posts but ive not been able to sit atthe bench for any length of time anyway, build is done, no real issues then a little white primer, and while i was at it masked and painted the red band then finished masking and painted the tail, next up is the main body
  15. its a straightforward build, no real issues anywhere yet

    uk seems to have some sort of a plan the problem is, individuals not sticking to it, because they think they are going to be ok as they are fit and healthy, and dont give a rats ass about passing it on to others who may not be so fit and healthy i currently work in a a secure hospital and saw a patient go form healthy to have a sore throat, then end up in intensive care within a 14hr shift, it scared the hell out of me, and ive worked on the front line as a RAF medic before this second life the UK is rolling out inoculations at a really fast rate, but health care wont return to normal for a long time as the routine stuff has been cancelled and postponed for over a year now, and has to catch up, what was a 12week wait for routine hospital stuff, is now a year ( i know im waiting for a appointment!) my bench time, and internet time is mixed, as sometimes im just so tired (and im what people would say was second line healthcare) hopefully thats all thats happening with Jennings

    sorry to hear that mate, hope you can get things dealt with if there is anything i can help with; i.e. i'm a mental health nurse, and have worked with brain injury patients and with physical brain changes (including tumors) i know im far away, but may be able to offer a understanding ear
  19. the AIM-132 have arrived at Hannants mine are ordered https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/ED632165?result-token=RllHZ
  20. AIM-132 in stock at hannants https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/ED632165?result-token=RllHZ
  21. well things really do seem to be moving on now, work began this morning on the fin!! each 'vane' had to be individually fixed in postion and my god there tiny from there its a fairly straint forward fit for the fin. I considered leaving it off until after painting, as the fit is that good, but opted no to in the end a tiny amount of filler will be needed on the spine just behind the cockpit, but nothing much, and if im careful with the water soulable stuff and masking, i wont have to sand it
