Friday be like......
Got it for the boxart alone.
Imagine learning to fly in this and over the pyramids before Tutankhamun's tomb was discovered.
Have a safe weekend all. World going nuts, I choose my hobby.

AIRCRAFT CARRIERS ARE “ARRIVING” IN JINAN, ONE AFTER ANOTHER!

Not the real thing

A model factory in Jinan is working at full speed to produce huge, highly detailed aircraft carrier models, with workers cutting, polishing and assembling the metal components.

@arkhamfugative @YesterdaysBrit1 And a box, even a tiddler sized one had 20+ bits in it.....

[Nic W @nics_kitz]

Geeze that's rough Simon. 🫤

BUT

As our glorious leader you will overcome.
Tally ho old bean.

[Kevin Norris @kingdomman66]

@Rheumatoidman One word springs to mind - Bollocks! That's a pity Simon. I'm sure its recoverable but it's a real kick to the mo-jo.

I think I prefer the old days when wings let you glide...
At least the pilot got clear.

[Nic W @nics_kitz]

Progressing backwards Airfix BF 109E-4
So I tried to use demonic possessed air brush to do squiggly lines per box livery.
Splattered like a locust at 110km/hr on drive to farm on wind shield.
Total yuk.
Primary coat again then hand paint.
At least it's not 40C.
Sigh

[Nic W @nics_kitz]

@bart_krk Funny enough
I just want to experience the frozen cold
When its 35C at 2am in the morning all you can think of is cold
Cheers
Nic

@bart_krk At my family farm 200km away last week it was 49C
Power grid failed
We have diesel generators to save food and provide some basic power

Simon has just used admin level powers.

@nics_kitz I used to hand paint I found going over them with a light coat of the blue would fade them in better

@Rheumatoidman I reckon it's due to respectful and encouraging community engagement.
People feel ok posting or commenting.

Something about....
