  1. HI at the size of models I am making 22" to 36" span. There are not a lot out there 3" long. And on unless I see it in my hand I can not tell if it is what I want. So I want to have a go Dexter has been helping. Geoff.
  2. Hi the PETG is on order as you will see I am in a bit smaller size than you. Club 20 and now Club 020
  3. Good evening. I have looked on Sarik in the past and they don't seem to do what used to be called universal canopies with different sizes, but i will give Trent a call tomorrow, A3 sheets are quite cheap so i will have a word with them. I do want to mould my own to find out if i can. More satisfaction. I will let you know how i get on? Thanks Geoff
  4. Hi, I am in the process of building some 1/2 A models for my Grandson, who wants one with a canopy so he can put a proper pilot in ( smiley) I was going to go on the lines of a plunge mold, but before i start, what is the best material to use and where can you get it from? I don't really want to use the pop bottle method. Any suggestions would be welcome. Thanks, Geoff Maximum length will be about 5"
  5. Hi, Hawk 70, nice aeroplane, flys well. Been trying to get one for the last 3 years, but just get promises !!!! Does anyone still have one of these or the plans they could help me with? I may have the wing templates but without knowing the root and tip cord, i have no chance of finding them. I wait with anticipation, thanks, Geoff
  6. Hi Stevo, I think you may be talking about the wrong thing, white spirit is used on oil based products ie humbrol enamel, the solvent for this is a cellulose thinner type of product similar to what girls use on their fingers and toes, they use it because it dries quicker. I've only said this so you won't spoil a model Geoff

  8. Hi Dennis, i don't know why you are apologising, you didn't say any thing wrong, but according to my kids, you're shouting when you use capitals. Davyp, There's 2 sorts of ronseal, one dries crystal clear, the other one is slightly opaque, i know i've got one room gloss and one room not gloss, must read the label on the tin David, Yes, i'll be using 2 pack resin I've tried spraying with the correct mixture and if you look in my pictures, you will see one of them shows what looks like candy floss, which is what you get if the paints too thick, i've read somewhere else they have had the same problem with this, so i'm shouting now IF YOU WANT YOUR MODEEL FUEL PROOF, DON'T THIN SOLAR-LAC, I HOPE THE OWNER READS THIS AS I WONDER HOW OTHER PEOPLE WREAK THEIR PRIDE ND JOY. geoff
  9. Martin, that seems a good idea, water based, its a pity i've got a tin of ronseal floor varnish but its not the clear one, its opaquish, might go and put a bit of fuel behind the sink in the bathroom and see what it does. Thanks, Geoff
