Could be a number of issues, and some have nothing to do with you. I have the same problem - some ictures I can see without issues, others only show a link-type line (i.e. underlind series of letters and numbers) but clicking it does not lead me anywhere. I can only assume that my firewall is blocking certain sites because they are deemed unsafe by this firewall. On other occasions it might be that a certain line of softwire is not supported by my browser (for instance, many browsers have stopped or are about to stop supporting flash player). I have just accepted this as a fact of life and move on, although I do regret not being able to see some of the work of members whom I believe do some exquisite things...

I cannae wait

Looks like something used in wood working. Any stores that supply fittings for furniture making?

I got both stands, as I do both 1/48 and 1/32 scales. Most of the smaller 1/32 planes - such as my Caudron - I could do on the smaller stand, but like you said, the 1/32-1/24 stand is massive and particularly useful for the jet-era, as these birds are typically much larger. For example, I coul do the Caudron on the smaller stand, but my current build (Fischer F9F-8T would be a bit too big for that stand - as would be the things like F-15 or A-10 in 1/32 as well as the larger birds in 1/48 such as Heinkel 111, PBY-5/a or Stratofortress the larger stand is much more useful. I also have the smaller biplane stand - not used it yet, but I will at some point in the future. Should work nicely on the stuff I got as I imagine that in the 1/32-1/24 range it will also be massive, but then again so will the airplanes be (i.e. much too large for the smaller stand). I reckon it pays to think about what you would need it most for, and go with that option - but that is purely my opinion.

I got mine directly from JHmodels, as at the time there were no UK stockists who had it in stock. http://www.jhmodels.eu/plastic-models/model-stands/no-3201-stand-new/ I got the 1/48 and 1/32 stands as depicted in this thread. They also have a version more geared towards biplanes (now in BOTH scales, not just 1/48). Very pleased with the stands AND the service. Highly recommended

I'll take your word for it...

I think you are right, it should start in June, not May, and last to Novermber 30th. Only in that schedule are all groups 6 months long + start evenly spread out over the year

Not just for more aircraft, but also genericones - i.e. for things that have a similar font and font size that is used across a specific era/type, such as 'do not lift', 'do not walk', various cockpit checklists or stencils used within the cockpit/landing gear area, etc. I for sure would be getting them ASAP were they available.

Also interested in this.

I think you mistyped. I got this https://exito.site/

For your information, it is very possible that figures on Ebay priced as low as that are recasts of very poor quality. These pirates often use hte original manufacturer's pictures to aid in their selling, but all they do is make a poor cast of the original figure. A lot of the detail would be lost. On Planet Figure Iwhere I too am a member) there has been repeated threads and warnings about those.

wot 'e said

was about to mention this. Bought the small sander, very good service and happy with the tool.

Hi Jim, I have the sitting pilot of kit #60234. I used the standing pilot for something else already. If you can use it you can have it. Just drop me a PM.

ur welcome. Nice work btw.

Unfortunately I cannot see your pictures, and copying it in the search bar does not help either. I use Imgur as well, and I always copy the 'direct' option (click on a picture, its the second option on the right of the screen.

Is it me, or has the fuselage been shortened in front of the wing? Looks to me like the wings on the kit are too short in wing-chord otherwise.

Once that was done the PE was rolled until it fitted the curve of the resin I also choose to hollow out the inward facing side so that some of the holes in the PE would not be blocked. Marking the holes with pencil. Create an hollow with scalpel #11. Forgot to take intermediate pictures of the process, but once the resin was glued in the correct position, the remaining missing frames were fabricated from plastic sheet. I will put these aside until I am ready to fabricate the operating mechanism. But fo that I will need the cockpit and wing section glued to the hull. That's all for now. Thanks for looking.

Right, here goes update # 1. thinking I want the speed brakes down I first tackled the forward speed brakes to see what is what. First observation: the holes in the speed brake do not line up with the framework of the resin body. Fisher would have you glue them in the centre of the PE, but that will cause the framework to obstruct the holes - and I cannot imagine that would be a desired aspect of the speedbrake. So here is my solution - not a perfect copy of the real item, but good enough for my purpose. On the left is my first try, on the right the other speed brake.as seen from both sides. First step was to sand the outward facing side such that the framework opened up.

Thank you for your educational contribution. now back to Paco de lucia and Mariza...

I will stop proving I am inept with competuters

The thinker?

so much for that idea...
