FREEDOM!! mmD does an F-5A, DONE, Buddy

[ShaunW]

Mmmmmmmm..... the phrase "booze 'n' fags achieved" probably paints a very different picture to our U.S. readers!!! Ho hum, same language, different uses!

Mike that kit is as rough as a badgers A**E.
It is actually worse than the PM kit - I know, never thought I would hear myself say that.

My suggestion would be:

• Place the kit in the 'Round File'. There is usually one in the corner of the room.
  Source a nice block of wood, preferably Oak.
  Carve an F-5 like shape with your finger nails - it will be quicker than fixing the Airfix kit

Note to Mr Airfix - STOP PEDDLING THIS FILTH.

Seriously, never EVER go to a hotel in L.A and ask for 20 fags to be sent to your room. Don't ask me how I know this.

Look what the Migrant did with his

True. Anything, but anything, can be saved.

I was in New York a few years ago and remembered to keep my guard up when buying cigarettes - no UK slang!!

I still don't like to talk about it…

Too true. This kit might be an old bone chewer but Migrant did a masterful job with it. Personally, it's one of those old kits that I try to avoid. Some old kits are gems, others not so. Overall I did enjoy building the old Airfix Gnat for this very blitz a couple of weeks ago except for the decals, which were the 70's originals. Oh dear they were bad.

The problem I have with Airfix's pricing policy with these older kits is that they ask the same price as some of the newer and infinitely better kits they are now producing. Naughty, naughty.

Anyway, amidst all this hilarious banter...



....nothing much is happening.

It's Got Red On It



Now that's my kind of canopy masking


Raul Seixas didn't tickle your fancy? How aboot some Portuguese Fado, courtesy of the wonderful Madredeus.. this even has a nifty jews harp solo near the end (you'll have to get beyond 40 seconds, Ian)



Migrants build: link or it didn't happen, folks.

Yes, I'd keep quiet about it too. Don't worry, I'll say nowt.

This is true Shaun - the Airfix Gazelle, Scout and Scorpion are lovely little kits that are worth a skydiver of anybody's money. But dressing up old carp in new artwork smells, to me, of sharp practise. It's not good for the brand (and I love Airfix with a passion), not one bit.

That song is in foreignese. I can't understand a word! On the positive side, that's some great masking!

Flak, I am so glad I am at work right now. There's no way I would be able to sleep with the images currently in my head.....

Me either, right…

Keep at it Mike, I think you're doing a decent job. You've got to like the canopy masking

Is this going to be gear up on a stand then?
