This may be a mistake.......

So in the interests of not having to trawl across multiple forums for PMs (and try to present a slightly more sophisticated & professional image.....darling), I figured it was easier to create a brand and online store where I could market the various 3d printed designs I offer. Looking ahead this is hopefully a better option as my output continues and my portfolio increases. The link is below in my sig.

Currently, I only have the 3x F.155T offerings I've created. Ultimately, the rest of the design submissions will follow. I also have the Shorts PD17 (or P.17D depending on whose source of the truth you subscribe to) in design, plus the very early stages of the Hawker P.1103/1121 family. I'll also probably be starting the McDonnell Douglas 265-1 soon too. As always there will be threads on here covering whatever is under way, it'll just be in this sub-forum now. 

That's it for now. More soon once I've placated the Other Half by attending to some DIY....

Cheers, Stuart

No, I don't think it is a mistake. It's an interesting venture and I wish it well.

Nice one! :thumbsup:

May I make a suggestion?

Put up pics of the unassembled kit as well as the finished ones. This will make it crystal clear what buyers are getting, which is especially important for the P.8 conversion. I know it says clearly enough what's what in the text, but there'll always be somebody who doesn't read it properly or doesn't understand it.

Just given you a plug on Twitter ("X" :rolleyes: ).

There's quite a lot of modelling activity on there: might do you some good.

What about your TSR.2 Pylons? Is there anything else that you do or have done that people might be interested in?

Hello again Stuart
I couldn't find a way to send you the picture via message, so hopefully you will see this on here.
I damaged the parts removing them from the fuselage as they were over a millimeter too wide either side, due to how the part circled uppermost, fit the cockpit. I sanded as much as I dared to get it to fit, but it still sticks out and I am losing a lot of the control consoles. Hopefully it will an easy fix, as I have been enjoying building this kit.

From here I went to your website and ended up ordering one of your Fairey ER.103C kits and it's a beauty.  It will fit nicely with the kits I already have of the Fairey FD.2 and BAC 221.  Is there any chance of getting a single-seat front end for this aircraft as a day fighter?

Unfortunately no, the original Fairy design was for a two man crew, and I don't plan to revisit this kit since there are just too many other cancelled projects to do!

Fair enough.  It would be tempting to see what I could work up.  I am looking forward to some of the other aircraft you've mentioned becoming available.

I'm thinking of trial fitting bits of the FD.2 and bits of the ER.103C to do the single-seat version.
