    Welcome back Craig, it does my heart good to see a new post from you on this.
  2. KiwiZac
    I'm so glad to see this. Lovely work Derek, more power to you!

    This and the civilian Hughes 500 are my favourite helis so I'm excited to see your take! Mounting the windscreen can pose problems as the fuselage frames tend to bow inward, so bear that in mind. As to how to fix it? I'm sure sharper minds than mine have the answer as my kit's sitting waiting for that to be done.

    Those Quinta bits and decals really add something. I'm enjoying this!

    This is gorgeous. Well done Alex, and you've taught me some VIIIs had extended tips! It's not 1/32, right?
  6. KiwiZac
    Looking good!

    This is looking utterly superb Derek, bravo. I'm excited so see what the next steps are. I bagged a KH T-6 for a song and am eager to fix the gear bays and mounts (to be built as an RNZAF Harvard), so it's neat to see someone doing it.

    This is excellent news. And supporting a terrific project.

    It's looking absolutely fantastic, well done! You've highlighted one serious (and one silly/flippant) benefit to building warbirds, which happens to be my preferred segment of the hobby: lots of photographic evidence, and it's less likely you can be "proven wrong" by subject matter experts

    Even moreso given today's the first time I've been back since my post Absolutely magnificent work!!

    That's beautiful Hubert! Bravo!
  12. KiwiZac
    Magnificent work. I'm excited for the next update.

    It's beautiful! It's like seeing photos from Hawker Restorations. WOW!

    I rather enjoy models of "fake" aircraft, be they movie props or other mock-ups, so I'm eager to see more of this!
  15. KiwiZac
    I just don't have the words to express how I feel about all this. In a good way!
  16. KiwiZac
    Excellent, excellent!!

    As soon as I saw the email I was curious to see how you all would respond. It's heartwarming to see so many posts! The only Hurricane I've ever wanted to model is the restored Mk.IIa P3351 that flew in New Zealand for several years, but having one of these to go along with my (still yet-to-be completed!) Al Deere Kotare Spit is an attractive thought.

    Spare a thought for the Kiwis and Aussies! It's all looking marvellous Peter, well done to you and everyone involved. My modelling budget is nil so I'll have to live vicariously through others' purchases and I'm excited.
  19. KiwiZac
    Beautiful. I can only echo what the others have said. The drop tank alone is a little marvel!
  20. KiwiZac
    This is looking fantastic! Bravo for all your hard work so far!

    Those resin armaments have exquisite detail! I reckon they'll make this build even more gorgeous.
  22. KiwiZac
    I love seeing detail like this to enhance already terrific kits. Beautiful work!
  23. KiwiZac
    This is all rather exciting.

    I do wonder what the "happy medium" of model companies is, if there is one: announce multiple subjects and show off pretty pictures far in advance and drum up interest as DBMK has done (and get called out for announcing too many kits), or announce a single subject and show off prettier pictures closer to release a la Kotare (and get called out for not announcing enough kits).

    Sadly I believe the scale(!) replica hasn't flown since an accident a few years ago, and the six restored examples have scattered to the overseas winds. The German example was here for a while for airshows...which were all cancelled due to Covid! Steve Moore, who retired as an Air Commodore. I grew up watching Test Pilot on repeat so I'm keen building on a few of those aircraft! You'll have to drop me a line so we can catch up!
