Sorted. 👍

Ah, but are you left footed or right footed ? 🤣

I couldn't agree more !

Well that lets out a lot of the people on this forum then ! 🤣

RCM&E and Model Boats. If you trace back their history you will find that they both originate from the same publisher. RCM&E was originally a spin-off to cater for the (fairly new) electronics side of the hobby and covered all modelling genres including aeroplanes, boats and cars. It eventually evolved into the magazine we know today, which is aircraft based with an odd nod to its electronics past.

Interesting point to note. Although the magazine has new owners, Mortons have retained the printing and distribution. So who decides the quality of the finished magazine (not the content), the owners or the printers ? Obviously a cost cutting excercise. I'm now even more convinced that the owners will merge the two magazines. Purely from a business point of view it makes sense, bearing in mind that the majority of income is derived from advertising and the number of advertisers is constantly diminishing. Personally I feel sorry for Kevin, stuck in the middle (again). He really must have broad shoulders !!!

Using windscreen wash (diluted with water) does thin acrylice down, but the dye in the wash discolours your paint. I use a formula that I found online. There is a lot of information if you google acrylic thinner.

Hi guys. Thanks for the input. Most of it constructive (apart from the odd rant, which you have to expect these days !) I have no strong opinion on the matter and hoped that we might get some interesting comments (which we did). I shall now go away and think of what else I can post that would create inteligent conversation. Can the mods please close this thread down now. It has served its purpose and I don't want anyone treating it like a dog with a rat. (ooh another possible thread 🤣)

I was posing a question to see the reaction. How many flying sites have been lost / refused permission due to the presence of "game birds" ? I made enquiries about a site and was given that as a reason for refusal.

With advancements in drone technology leaping forward week by week it was a pleasure to hold a drone demo meeting on one of our estates today. Attended by around twenty moor keepers it was a very informative and fascinating introduction to the fine skills of flying drones. Learning how they can be utilised in landscape management and wildlife conservation this was a window into the future for many of our keepers. Understanding the practical use of each class of drone, the legislative requirements associated with their use and their hi-tec capabilities was extremely beneficial.

Roy. The issue for most printing companies is not the plans (or state of them). It is copyright. It is easier for them to say no, rather than go through the process of checking to see if your plan is still in copyright. Copyright is another issue much discussed on various threads. Basically, anyone who charges you for copying anything within copyright is breaking the law, unless they have a license to do so from the copyright owners. Have you read the small print on the "free" magazine plans recently ? How you are supposed to build a model without tracing, or copying parts from the plan I do not know !

I can probably help people in the Yorkshire area.

I seem to be spending a lot of time these days disposing of old modellers collections. I currently have not one, not two, but three Slec T240 kits from the same owner !!! One has been built to the covering stage and has a moulded cowl. The second appears to be a complete kit (though I haven't checked every item). The third is a set of laser cut parts for a complete model. That's all though. No fittings or wood to complete. I'm looking for fair offers for somebody to take one, or all of them. However the built one can't be shipped and would have to be collected from the Harrogate, or Leeds area. If anybody wants to come and look I live between Harrogate and Pateley Bridge.
