I'd start from scratch JP, install from your disk (which will be 4.07). Use FT's megapatch link to get to get to 4.10. Then patch it up to 4.11.1 & finally hsfx6. Ensure the game starts after each patch is installed and you should be good to go! There's a bob night coming up on the 16th, so we need you ready by then! Jabo Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I see. So what makes it stick? And does it come off? Jabo

I'm out I'm afraid guys, got too much on to be able to make this, Jabo

When you say 'using pastels' Sid, what and how?

No worries Dave, I already had.

Dates for your diaries gentlemen - 13th & 14th July 2013 Time to get saving! Jabo

Who are you and what have you done with our resident viking? Bring back our Schwooper! Jabo

Thanks for the birthday greets chaps! Just getting over the hangover now...must be getting old... Jabo

Very nice Sid, I am a lttle envious of your painting skills. Hannants do a few different sizes, you might find what you're looking for there Pete. If you can't find them in your part of the world I'm sure we can get a set to you.

~s~ chaps and many happy returns to you both!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Oh my giddy aunt. Ok, in the end I went for an i5-2500K purely because (if I want) it can be overclocked further than the ivybridge 3570 with a good old fashioned air-cooled set-up. I also picked up the board as detailed above. Having set the whole thing up (twice - the first attempt was fubar) I tentatively pushed the auto-overclock button in the windows application - it asked me whether I wanted 'fast' or 'extreme' settings. I opted for 'fast' on the basis that I didn't know if the kit would manage 'extreme' overclocking. The whole thing went away and thought for a bit before restarting the machine and once I was back into windows presented me with the information that the CPU was now clocking at over 4.3GHz!!! More than 1GHz faster than the stock clock speed!!! Man, that's frickin' awesome! Jabo

Nice work Dom, looking good! Jabo

Unfortunately I didn't know that Pete. What crazing there is is minor though. Going to use clearfix on the Beau. It's Humbrol's glue specifically for clear parts. Jabo

I had a bit of a brainwave this morning and fired off a speculative email to tamiya's uk importer who very kindly came back to me and said I could have both wing sprues sent to me for the very reasonable sum of £6.99! So I have a new set of pristine wings en route and can bodge the original set together for spraying practice! Woot! Jabo Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Woot! 2.8 Injection Capri? Quality motor guv.

Oops, missed this one too! Hope you both had a splendid day chaps..

This started out as update #2. Dry fit of center section to fuselage. All well and good you might be forgiven for thinking...Unfortunately I've now tried fitting the lower wing panels only to find that they don't quite fit. This is a little confusing as I'm pretty sure that when I checked the wing - centre section joint a few days ago everything fitted like a glove and now it doesn't which presumably means that the jonts connecting the upper wing to the lower centre section are out somewhere and of course they will not be coming apart any time soon now they're glued in place - bugger. So now I have a little head-scratching to do to 1) find where the problem is and 2) find a way of fixing it. Hmmmm. Other than that things are coming along nicely with the interior and sundry other bits with will feature in the next update. Jabo
