Painless

Hi Pete, Yes m8 it is glued to within an inch of it's life to that seat, figured that it will be easily visible through the canopy when it goes on : ) I ordered from Eduardo the canopy mask set along with the one for the Revell 1/32nd BoB He111(my next project). Came to 26Euros ! Also bought a nice little compressor and airbrush set ready for the big surfaces and weathering effects. (Used my Reno re-fund money for that) I plan on eventually making the most complete set of BoB aircraft in 1/32nd possible, all looking very tired. Should be done in around 10 years or so LOL Cheers, Mick.

~S~ Pete, That engine looks great ! I've read that the Merlin in the Airfix 1/24th Hurricane is much improved from the one in the old 1/24th Spitfire. Do you know if the mossie's Merlins are taken from that kit or completely new ? Cheers, Mick.

~S~ Chaps, Funflak sent me this link and I am....................well entertained. What do you think ? http://player.vimeo.com/video/31202906?autoplay=1 ~S~ Painless

~S~ Maybe it would have been better to just shred the German chaps chute so he had time to "reflect" on the way down. ~S~ P.

~S~ Chaps, Thought I would use my "stuck in the house time" to get back into building kits again : ) I would really like to build a complete Battle of Britain collection in 1/32nd so.... Revell's 1/32nd Ju88A-1 "Battle of Britain" is not as big as Pete's mossie but still a good size . Nearly finished the cockpit with all of it's 150 parts.......... ~S~ Painless.

~S~ Chaps, That made for a fascinating read. Thanks for taking the trouble to share your knowledge and experience Erco and Capt' Madfish you can see that the DDz is a great place to learn about way more than just IL2. Looking forward to virtual flying with you soon. ~S~ Painless.

~S~ Pete m8, Have you thought about the after market lazer etched "dead flies" pack for the radiators ? LOL Looking great so far. ~S~ P.

~S~ Pete m8, Very nice detail painting indeed. It looks like a brand new still in the factory cockpit. That kit is around £100 here btw. ~S~ P.

~S~ Brando, I really like that student !! ~S~ P.

~S~ Chaps, Well that was entertaining !! Great clips, thanks ~S~ P.

~S~ DDz HAPPY NEW YEAR ! Thanks for another great year, I virtually had a lot of fun ! ~S~ Painless

~S~ Chaps, It's amazing how little "victories" like that always have a disproportionate effect on moral and the will to carry on fighting in what what must have seemed like a world of S H 1 T E. Good lads ! ~S~ P.

~S~ Kev, Much better ay !! Thanks for the post M8. ~S~ P.

~S~ Fine fellows, Good, this has now been put to bed ! "All for one and one for all" (It's what we do here because Jim said so !) Zooly you are not allowed to go anywhere because you are a well liked DangerDog, (not something to give up lightly m8 : ) Besides you don't want me bursting into tears, being a Bacardi drinking southern poofta and all ~S~ Painless.

~S~ Snacko m8, First book I ever read of my own free will ! LOL So Bilbo will be played by the reluctant porn star in "Love Actually". Interesting choice. Cheers, Mick.

~S~ Chaps, Thank you very much for the advice, I followed it and guess what..............all is well again !! Lesson learnt : DO NOT BUGGER ABOUT WITH YOUR MACHINE IN THE FUTILE SEARCH FOR A FEW MORE FPS !! Thanks again m8s ! ~S~ Painless.

Cheers Kev, I am running XP. I did not have mozzilla on this gaming only machine untill yesterday when my m8 who was trying to clock my CPU installed it to help download the latest drivers without any IE hassles ? Cheers, Mick.

~S~ Chaps, My machine has become very unstable with IL2 crashing , IE sometimes not working, and track IR being flaky. This has happened since a mild overclock was applied to my CPU and the latest driver for my on board sound card (Realtek) was installed ? This is the error message I get on starting when desktop is first up................ Any help appreciated. ~S~ Painless

Hey Bongo, Hope you had a great birthday m8 ! Cheers to you, Painless.

~S~ Fine fellows, Just wanted to ask if anyone can suggest what DD_Bojan can do about his RC4 problem. He wants to fly with us in the North Africa MDS but his RC4 game crashes a few seconds after it has loaded to the menu/home page. He has installed a clean copy of the game from disc, installed the "mega patch" up to M410.1. , downloaded UP3 RC4 from a torrent and installed it . This is not the first time he has tried to get it working so he can fly with us but still no joy : ( He has not run a check sum as yet. Any ideas please chaps ? Thanks, Painless.

~S~ GK , Iv'e seen so many m8s do exactly that !! LOL BTW, great to see that you are flying with us in North Africa . ~S~ Painless

~S~ Snack m8, That bloke is a bleeding nutter ! How great would it be to say down at the pub "bit of a quiet day today, only thing I did of any interest was to fly in formation with a couple of jets............without an aircraft " ~S~ Painless.

~S~ DT m8, Working with "friendly" AI is never Painless bro' ~S~ P.

Hey Kelly, Well thats just peachy !! So we do a tour of English WWII military attractions instead right ? LOL Cheers, Mick.

~S~ OT, Happy birthday m8, hope to see you back in the cockpit soon ! ~S~ Painless.
