Oops. Picked the wrong everything.
Now sorted.
Thought I'd leave the earlier gaff to show how incredibly stupid I am and if we do an other Jug GB I'll be using that kit :roll:

Good choice of kit... The Tamiya 1/72 Corsairs are very good indeed.

Sweet, though we were going to see one hell of a conversion there for a moment ;-)

All the best.

Sorry chaps. This isn't going to happen and this is the first GB I've pulled out of before starting. I think it was doomed from the start when I thought I was doing a Jug :roll:
Not enough time left to do this kit justice and my mojo is not up to speed building it. Hopefully it'll return for the next GB.

I felt bad about letting the side down so I've found a HobbyBoss F4U-1 to hopefully get my modelling mojo back on track. Might meed an extension as I've had to order some special paint which won't arrive until next week

You can't get Hobgoblin here! :shock: Can you believe it?
