Tommy, I'm not saying that the Monty's Humber is an old kit but my Grandfather built it when I was a kid! The engineering on that F-35 is stunning, you'll enjoy that one PR! Boots... What the?  ? |

Eduard is the way to go Boots buddy just give the IP a coat of matt varnish and the dials a dab of gloss. And they're not from the wrong side of the new Iron curtain |

Nice acquisitions, gents! Well, I got this beauty in the mail today. The box is HUGE! This comes with markings for the North Carolina National Guard so I will have to build that for the home state, here.  |

Boots that was a good decision with Eduard etch The stuff in the Tamiya kit is like the stuff Dragon used to use, absolutely solid  . Ian, I shall be adding that to my stash also . But I want the MOLF conversion to make a Greek version |

Better get some wood glue, a different kind of building A good choice I must say and with mine I just went down the route of some thinned PVA to give an extra bond as the fit was pretty tight. |
