  1. If you're up for building your own rig Tonar you might do better with this; Here's my current set up - It's a bit over-engineered... CPU: i5 2500k RAM: 12GB Corsair Dominator GFX: Nvidia Geforce GTX580 (3GB DDR 5) HDD: 2 x 128GB SSD + 1 x 1TB HDD + 1 x 2TB HDD (Both Seagate) CD/DVD: 1 x LG DVD RW OS: MS Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
  2. Don't sweat over patching it Dep, just follow the instructions in post #3 and you'll be fine. Jabo Hop onto TS tonight if you need help. FT or me or someone will be around to lend a paw.
  3. necro-thread time - It's still your go Tom.
  4. Damn those pesky raisins!
  5. Only £1500? I'll go and check down the back of the sofa
  6. +1 Happy Birthday!
  7. Hey Dep, nice to see you back.
  8. Same here, always used auto-update for 7. It's only ever caused one problem that I can recall and that was yonks ago (pre-SP1). You definitely need Service Pack 1 if you don't have it Dom
  9. It never fails to amaze me how pilots seem to be able to ride out this sort of situation with aplomb. Although that might be because the ones who panic are dead. Thanks for that article Chris!
  10. Given the choice between destroying the aircraft and baling out safely or crashing due to a u/c failure and killing myself in the process, I know what I'd be doing! Great vid Chris. Thanks!
  11. I see from the latest issue of FlyPast magazine (other aviation periodicals are available), Dr Robert Pleming (the guy whose company operates the Vulcan) has said that they are currently working towards flying the Vulcan with both the Lancasters at shows where all three are booked together! Anyone like to hazard a guess as to which show is the first where all three aircraft are making an appearance? Jabo
  12. Same here too!
  13. Thanks for the intel Chris, I'll pick that up when I get home.

    Removal Of Masking

    Not with precut masks, the whole thing would be prohibitively expensive not too mention very difficult to do it the same each time over half a dozen coats or more. As far as thinning is concerned, I don't generally bother for brushing as the paint is pretty thin anyway, but I do thin it down for spraying.

    Removal Of Masking

    In this case, I've been using one of the Eduard precut masks which looks to be ok and worked really well on the seafire so I was expecting much the same this time around. I forgot to prime the surface which I suspect may be part of the problem. I shall break out a fresh scalpel blade for the rest of the masks.

    I thought so Tom. Maybe I didn't sufficiently!

    Removal Of Masking

    I hear what you're saying Kira and I agree as I've always understood that was the way to do it. Unfortunately the current paints are very thin (enamel or acrylic) and therefore require several coats to get proper coverage which has to 'go off' before the next coat can be applied. It's all very awkward.

    Removal Of Masking

    Was wondering that myself FT. Will try it when I remove another piece
  19. So I'm at a point where I'm starting to remove the masking from my North Africa Beaufighter but I've just removed a bit from the landing light and it's pulled some of the paint off as well (grrrr) What am I doing wrong?
  20. Flying Legends 2015 will take place on the 11th & 12th July 2015. Too early for the countdown? Yeah, probably
