~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..........

Excellent work so far, mate! I like what you did with the flare gun, there. Is it glued down in the seat? I'll have to think about where to put mine.....the instructions have it mounted in the canopy, ready to fire.....

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~ Chaps,

Just finished the undercarriage : ) I've also recieved the after market under wing bomb racks sadly missing from the standard kit for some reason :huh:

The "sun faded" weathering is done on the upper panels but I need to get all of the decals on before the dirty "wash" goes on to pick out the panel lines and rivetts.

Cock ups so far: ------------------------------------- Fix:

Broke rear top gun barrel off--------------------------------- Stick back on at completion

Broke gunsight off-------------------------------------- Superglued back on.

Cracked canopy side panel.---------------------------------------- Live with it.

Melted left aileron tip and damaged------------------------------------- Cut off two fingers !!

left wing tip with candle !!!!!

The spray job looks good Mick. Pity about your oops moment though. Is the damage to the wingtip recoverable? I assume the new parts you've ordered includes that aileron?

~S~ Arjen M8,

You are right about the tyres! They have now been "flattened" by putting course sand paper underneath the wheels and carefully holding the wheel itself and rubbing back and forth on the flat table surface. What you can't do is get that "bulge" look in the lower tyre side wall, unless............................ :rolleyes:

Why not ask for a spare set of tires?

Put them on an axis, put some weight on it, warm them up from the bottom.... slowly and steadily.... be patient and watch... and watch... and watch out to stop just in time... Oh wait, they're probably hollow on the inside? Hm...
