Peter, No building for me for the next 2 weeks. Spent 12 hrs in the car yesterday as drove up to get my daughter. She used to love flying but found horses a few years ago so now I dont stand a chance. Will be horse riding for the next few weeks.
Cheers

Hey Peter, those raised panels look awsome I will have to try that on my next build instead of using aluminum tape, also it adds lots of primer for rivet detail.

thanks Craig, it is the same technique I used on the P51 when I refurbed it a couple of years back. Very easy to do. There is a better substance to use then primer too, it is called spray putty. It isused in same way but builds up thicker and sands beautifully. ticketec used it on his 190 kitbash with great results. Anyway I had afull 1 litre can of primer so was not going to go spend another $40 when primer will do the job.

yeah I know ozzie post only too well, I sell a lot of stuff on ebay and the buyers are always winging about how long oz post takes, of course it is all my fault and I cop their wrath. Did you choose the express post option I say? No but it is your fault and I demand you get it here by tomorrow or else!! WANKERS!

Ok you win I am laughing to hard.
Got a little done on the 47 just masking for the silver bottom of the wing and fuss, my flying buddy has tryed the (new to us) round masking by 3M to get the soft lines,and it works vary good he is up to his pits in a yellow spitty, I think he has bashed it to a Mark XII and he might even get it finished befor we get our 47's done

hey Bob, always glad to offer a few jocularities here and there!
I'm keen to try that new 3m tape but no one in oz sells it or has even heard of it so will have to do a searach over your side of the pond. You know of any places over there that carry it?
I've also got a MKXII 90" span and a G38 in nose, have never flown it. It needs a few things done to it and is next cab in the rank after the 47.
The MkXII was just a MK V with a early RR Griffon single stage engine fitted, typically they also had the wingtips cut off to improve low altitude roll rate. Not an overly successful varient by all accounts.

yes Bob, most definitely part of oz 101
it means a person who seeks his pleasure through the use of his hands
i.e to wank
we use it as a general term to describe idiots or people who annoy us in general
somebody cuts you off in traffic we refer to them as a bloody wanker!!!
Yeah, poor old Wayne Kerr really copped it at school, but then Michael Hunt took some of the heat for him.....
Looking good there Pete. Might make it for the 4th anniversary of the thread? Looking at your rudder hinge covers - look identical to mine. Unless they're rivetted in, I'd make a spare set and paint them while you're painting the fin. That way when you lose one, as I seem to make a habit of.. ..you can just stick your nice prepainted spare on.
Cheers,
Cam
p.s. Next "proper" warbird build down here has been delayed by a set of Glennis wheels I ordered around new year's day - he asures me the second pair ARE in transit.......
