About ready for assembly. I’ll do a bit of shading on the squaredels and rudder tomorrow when I’ve got daylight. I reckon I’ll make a jig out of lego to hold the wings and fuselage in place while I glue the struts on.

The guns are spectacular (printed by my brother).

This is Nathaniel Murphy, a Brit from Manchester who presents videos and does in-store guitar demos for the Chicago Music Exchange. He’s a lovely bloke, and an unbelievable guitar player. He can play just about anything straight out of his head.

I love building Spitfires but I don’t think the kit market needs yet another one. There’s too many to choose from already. A new Dragon Rapide or DH2 Beaver kit would be more welcome.

For some reason the red and white on the wings are the opposite way round to the fuselage according to the scheme I have 🤔

Some more Zep, today. This version is the 2015 deluxe 3 LP reissue. The third LP contains some very interesting alternative versions. PG is by many (including Robert Plant and myself) considered their best album.

The North Yorkshire Moors Railway began life as the Whitby & Pickering Railway, opened in 1836 with horse-drawn carriages running through the moorland valleys to boost Whitby’s flagging status. Designed by George Stephenson, it was among Britain’s earliest branch lines, carrying

This kit has been quite a challenge and has been close to hitting the wall a few times, but now the good stuff is happening 😊

Toned down the camo a bit and thrown some paint at the wings. I may have to tone down the purple a bit as well.

Thanks. Glad to get it over with 😰

The little Fokker now has camo. Applying the decals was a fiddly job but patience prevailed 👍😊. The edges of the elevators need tidying up when all is dry and the colours need muting a bit with a dusting of grey.
