Great find SP...I'm going to include it in my Hazardous Materials training package at work. I will use it the day before I finish as I doubt I will have a job soon afterwards....

Ta ta old monitor, Hi new one!

Thanks Dave, plenty of scope for browsing there.
Oh, and thanks Rog, good idea to start a section for modellers......

The small paint reservoir cylinder that clips onto the side flew off! I connected the air can to the airbrush and turned it on. I had a little spit of paint through the vent hole on the cylinder lid, then when I pushed the airbrush lever to start spraying the lid popped off, the force popping off the reservoir and sending it somewhere behind the chest freezer...where it can stay!

I think we ought to have a modeller's area - hints and tips and to show off stuff, watcha think?
This is a thread on a 1/48 scale 'Trumpeter' (as opposed to Airfix or Revell) MiG3. I haven't built a plane for years but still have some gear and the paint collection. Anyway, I have restarted this hobby and wanted to build something to try out a few techniques. I should have taken more photos but maybe next time.
It's built 'out of the box' apart from adding a pilot figure and some finer exhausts.
This is the cockpit under construction
A few more bits added and the aircraft is taking shape
Still a WIP, but now with paint and markings applied and awaiting a weathering wash, exhaust heat and smoke marks and varnishing, matt (flat) finish on the wooden areas ie, rear fuselage and wings and a satin on the metal areas.
I intend putting it on a stand as if flying. The markings and scheme are fictional but hey, it's my MiG......
I'll put some more up when done.

The fact that the Dogz fly in the evening in the UK makes it possible for me as I would find it difficult to justify the time in the day. I will always try to get on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sunday - Sunday is set in stone, the others when work allows. I like the 'Zoo' evenings on Saturday but social stuff usual blocks that. I could fly every night if I wanted but, this is a hobby and is only one aspect of my life.
Generally works out at about 12 - 15 hours per week if I sneak some offline stuff on off duty days too.

Good read m8, thanks. By all acounts all three were lucky to get out successfully from a Gannet, and the 2 crew with broken arms appear to have escaped more serious injury being caused by the stabilisers.
I wonder if current aircrew are told to avoid visiting pubs following trauma, just in case it affects medical treatment lol.
It is a very distinctive aircraft isn't it. Functional, limited effort for looks due to being built around the engines? perhaps

Cheers Snack, that made me laugh out loud......'old' geezers have a wicked sense of humour and have no inhibitions when it comes to displaying it!

They will return from their mission in 6 months.
And when they return it will be as if nothing happened............

Superb.....the skill and timing is fantastic. I love the rifle drill without music, just the sound of the rifles being slapped and cracked on the ground. Immaculate. Thanks m8.

Stunning views, cheers for sharing. Historic doesn't seem the right word to describe the sites....can't think of an appropriate one though.

Shell leaving a naval gun, http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldne ... annon.html
Camera caught the shot precisely - I love this sort of stuff.

The anomoly is probably because the recording is a 'trk', not an 'ntrak'.
'trk' recordings saved after the flight are notorious for not reproducing the original flight whereas 'ntrk' recordings are generally faithful to the original.

That is impressive!!
Wonder what speed wind they are heading into?
-
Can't 'lol' because you're right......
Nice one

By no means ugly in any sense of the word, but 2 pictures show 2 sides of the Hunter
First, mean and functional
Second, sleek and very pretty

Some shots of the Mosquito run during BGs hosting last night...Sid, Smash, Arthur and Jabo. Great fun

Latest software is the best.
Sounds like the button acts like a toggle, that's latched or unlatched I think. But I thought the pinkie was only a shift?
I was in the uninstall program area of the Win7 control panel yesterday and windows asked if I wanted to download an update from Windows for a Saitek device? Maybe that will help.
Maybe I hit a search for updates tab? Can't remember exactly but it was there somewhere.
Watch yerself with the update that Windows asks you if you want to download Perf. It will probably be the latest version of the Saitek drivers/software - my computer has done the same. I don't know whether you can install over the top of an existing Saitek installation, you may have to uninstall first.
A case of, if it ain't broke......perhaps.

Happy birthday mate. Have a good 'un

Loved it

I gave up trying to get one on ebay a while back because that is what kept happening to me - very frustrating, particularly on the fourth attempt. I put a comment on the Zoo relating to this and a number of replies came back saying that people collect them for two reasons, for spares and for selling on.
Not bothered now as I won't have a use for it.

If you are JP from Canada then yes I flew with you once a few weeks ago, ~S~!
JP usually leaves an impression.....was it a good one...?? That'll make a change!
Welcome m8. Enjoy your time here.

I absolutely LOVE that. No music, just the sounds of the movement.
These have been doing this for many years and no-one has come anywhere near them.
Thanks for posting!
