Good news or not for the rest of the modellers here, depends on your point of view. I have managed to book a hotel room near to the Telford international Centre for this years Nationals  :drink:

I know that there is usually a limit of two builds for the Sig display at Telford so I will have to work out what to finish in time. I have an F-111 or two started, my recent ideas about F-4's in All over white and Air Defence Grey and of course the previously mentioned DC-10 conversions too. So many options and so little time to build them  :banghead:

Yup, that's the way to do it  :thumbsup:

The P.1027 has to be one of the most beautiful aircraft ever designed  :wub:

As for Contacta tubes. When mine get blocked I simply take them out and hold them in a gas flame with pliers. Sorts it out in a jiffy

I used the cooker flame trick but they were still blocked. At least I have found a solution  :rolleyes: to the problem

I clear them with the 0.5 mm wrapping wire I use for 1/25 spark plug wire.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

I use 5 amp fuse wire, when I can find it that is, plus a brushfull of MekPak beforehand. :banghead:

Still done bugg3r all construction wise for anything, not even painted on the windows in the nose of the G.91 to finish that off  :banghead:

I should get something done Saturday even though the footy is on or even maybe because of it as I am not a big supporter of such things. Most of my time has been spent sorting out a few orders for future projects. I ordered a 1/144 C-5M recently for two reasons, 1) I had the opportunity and the means to do so 2) I am thinking of using these with the kit, backdating the M to an A

I have also recently ordered a Hasegawa SH-60B to donate a few parts for my AH-64A naval build, tail wheel and possibly a few other items. The SH-60 will not go to waste as I already have another one so doors etc can be cut out on one kit and cut around on the other thus making doors and hatches that fit. I also intend to fold the main rotor so the spare kit will donate parts to assist in doing that as well. No time table on this as the first SH-60 has been in the stash for quite some time.

Not going to get much done today, at least not until this evening as I have a couple of blisters on my hands after bell ringing this morning. Spent around about 45 minutes ringing continuously for what is called a quarter peel, my first this century  ;D though my hands are suffering from gripping the rope and pulling said rope for that length of time.

Nothing to cause a problem for the ears Captain. Practice nights last for the best part of two hours and are no worse.

On a better note  :rolleyes: I have a skills test tomorrow which should lead to a job.
