A question: is it ok if the model is not mainly of any sort of plastic ?
My Plan F will be a lot of balsa covered in a thin layer of Milliput, to fill the grain mostly
I think I picked up within other GBs that any type of material is ok

Its not just how good your painting is, its how good the touch-ups are too.

As if by magic my Halifax props have turned into a Mirage, faster than you thought eh Daz?Dazzled wrote:Talented modeller like you shouldn't have a problem making a Mirage from Halifax props.

In reality, less than 24 hours after a phone call to Hannants, the Mirage was at my door. Hats off to them for very quick service indeed in rectifying their mistake.
