    Border Models Lancaster Clears

    Ali, I agree with you however would also say that should you actually consider it, I would recommend to look at the 2 or 3 main clear parts that really need to be done and leave the rest to the kit parts which are largely acceptable in most cases and won't be an issue on the completed model. Again, decision is respected and appreciated.

    Com'on Alf - those were the comfy seats! LOL - didn't you get the 'extra cushion' from maintenance? bet you waved 'bye-bye' on climb out a few times too. :whistle: 

     

    Looking forward to watching this - haven't had the drive to try this one myself. Comox t-bags were grey by the time I got to them in the early 90's. Great start boss! there's a bad pic of me floating around somewhere in the cockpit of a hanger queen before my red pages exam.

    I have a 2021 Outback but have the higher trim with the twin turbo engine so I can tow the boat or a utility trailer. Still like the car just as much as I did when it was new. Takes a bit to get used to the beeps and squeaks of the eye sight system but after a couple weeks you'll be ignoring it. I have lots of power in mine and still get very good milage compared to others out there. Only my old 2009 Nissan Sentra was better on gas. You'll love it.

    Well, if you're in Canada and paid for air mail Lucky Model is not shipping even though their website says that airmail is available again. 

     

    Plus they're asking for you to pay again for shipping if you take surface or express shipping instead. Doesn't make sense and I'm a bit annoyed.

    I selected ground and was refunded the difference. 

    Canada in last stage of negotiations to purchase 88 F-35 fighters

    From my pilots perspective and talking to both F-35 & F-18E/F test pilots - both are good, capable platforms for the intent of each design. My choice, is the F-35. I've heard and seen what the Saab can (and can't) do - I want us to have the F-35. Nothing else fits the bill when it comes to our defence needs (sorry - insiders knowledge here). Our defence needs have changed from 10 and even 5 years ago and also how we would integrate with other nations in a conflict. This has to be taken into consideration and not looked at from a past perspective, if that's what one's doing. Without knowledge of current tactics and systems it's not easy to know what those needs are (if at all). Yes, we Canadians love our CF-18 - almost to a fault. That can't be used to put blinders on for the current needs of the Nation and our requirements. 

     

    Single engine discussion - a goose could take out a CF-18 (there - said it, yea a perfect placed bird strike, a one in a million chance but is possible). Yes redundancy is nice if it fits the bill. Two reasons the F-18 beat out the F-16 in evaluations - the F100 engine and intake was a hoover vacuum and the system itself wasn't as proven in cold climates like Canada's north. Some countries had large growing pains in colder climates early on with the F-16. The F-35 & F135 engine (and possible upgrade) are proven by the Netherlands and Norway in cold climates already and with Finland shortly. Sure, there will be failures unfortunately, but there were with the CF-18 too (single engine issue on show demo in Lethbridge in 2016 led to a crash as one eg) but lessons from everyone will be implemented. The one benefit we have is lessons from several countries flying the F-35 currently when we learned concurrently with the CF-18.  

     

    just my 2c (I'll get off my soap box now)

    Border Model's Statement Regarding Lancaster Legal Issues

    I already explained what WNW invested into this three posts above your reply. Please read again. 

    The workshop is in the wrong here not WNW. The workshop was supposed to issue the final inovice upon completion of the work. However, as Border explained in their post at the top of this thread, the workshop did not complete the work and sold the mold before they finished the work that they were contracted to do. Border explained in great detail that they had to finish the work.

    So, there are two issues:

    1 - The workshop broke the contractual agreement by not finishing the work and selling the mold to a third party without the permission of the second party to the contract

    2 - Since the workshop never sent the final invoice, could not possibly send the final invoice because they did not finish the work, they cannot honestly claim that they were "not paid."

    Interesting - you have direct inside knowledge? If I did I sure wouldn't post it.
