Cheap as Chips!!

Look hard at those instructions though. The wings are shown back to front!!

A good start point for Kids or Adults that have not grown up!

Hi Zak,
Don't rush it, I was only being cheeky.
My Concorde probably won't make Huddersfield either, but rather than rush it. I would rather wait till the next show we attend (Darlington) with a good effort, not an okay one.
The Tractor looks amazing in its own right.

Hi Kiteman,
It is a pleasure to help a fellow modeller out.
I am sure you can repay the gesture sometime in the future, isn't that what real friends do anyway.

Hi Kiteman,
Being in Germany you probably don't come up against the likes of Wizzel and his club mates.
We are like Chimpanzee's but in reverse, yes Short Arms and Deep or sown up pockets!
We are though a friendly bunch, and this usually overcome
this shortcoming, especially if you corner us in the bar!

If the pictures don't appear, can we assume that the 'Crocodile' is in a tank trap?

Hi Zak/Kiteman,
They are 'BERNA' clamps.
They are quite common, though Hobbycraft had them at half price at the time...........................Think we're tight Yorkshireman???
Kiteman if you want I will look out for some at Huddersfield.

Hi Kiteman
No problem, if you can give me until weekend, I'll do what I can
Hellcats wore Blue/White stars and bars, or Blue/White stars with red outlines as far as I know.

Hi Kiteman,
What do you need decal wise?
I think I have an actual Otaki Sheet for this kit 'somewhere', I'll have a grope around in the loft this weekend and see if I can fish it out.
If not I have some stars and bars, and probably some code letters I can help you out with.

Hi Zak,
Wow!
What colour scheme will it be in?
Grey or Green? or something else?

Hi All,
Well the gaps have been filled and the nose pitot attached. I used my superglue/talc mix for this and you can see if you look carefully the mix is semi opaque, however I did knock it off twice due to being clumsy, needed repairs on each occasion. Now it is secure and I'll be a bit more careful.
I found a small area on the underside of the wing leading edge that had not cleaned up properly due to the wing flexing. So I ran some thin superglue into the joint, applied accelerator, then my superglue talc mix as a filler. I have protected the surrounding areas with tape, and used a clamp to hold the wing in place whilst it all sets. I will tackle the rubbing down tonight.
I have plumbed in the wheel bays, with assorted strip and rod, just to make them look busy.
Next job is to attach the elevons fairings on the wing underside, paint up the inside of the nacelles, undercarriage legs, wheels.
Until next time.

Hi,

I'm not too sure about hardpoints for bombs. I don't think the Mohawk had wing mounted bombs, but I may be incorrect. I'll check my references before I say anything else.
