  1. Just checked when you started this project. Hadn't realised been following your journey for so long. Well done Dirk 😊
  2. To say its slow is being polite, its in reverse gear😞
  3. Agree with Allan, recommend using under lying colour to seal the edges of the mask, to prevent colour bleed. If its going onto a gloss type finish, the Vallejo might not be keying to the surface as it's water based. Very light rubbing down may help, and degrease before applying paint. Been following the build blog from the start (how many years now?)
  4. You can now add Virgin Media to rip off merchants. Have now been told their e-mail server provider has ceased and now have to piggy back of third party provider. Which means you need another e-mail address to get Virgin e-mails. No warnings, no info just stops and you have flog through falsely named customer services. So you pay for a service you can't have with out an alternative address. 🤬
  5. Irrespective of construction type Tyhoons have a insatiable apatite for lead😋
  6. The perils of sitting in a aluminium tube to travel😔
  7. Most blood is young its the containers thats the problem😔🙄
  8. BLOCKS GUIDE THE BLADE TO CUT SLOTS FOR THE HINGES. CONSTANT POSITION AND ANGLE ON WING AND AILERONS /FLAPS 👍
  9. Midland Aviation museum at Bagington Airport Coventry has a very good display hall devoted to Whittle and his contemperies both british and german . With information and display items. Don't forget he was born in Coventry!
  10. Irrespective of all the arguments put forward, we make our own choices and pay the money, and get some fresh air with hopefully good social company.👍

  18. Being able to sympathise with Jon, having been there suffered that. It is always those willing to help and support others that end up carrying the load . He has always been exemplary in help and advise which he was not under any obligation to give. Go forward and do that which will give you satisfaction and enjoyment, enjoy life not suffer it. Best wishes for the future.
