Also delivered yesterday something I have never attempted before. [ATTACH]494482[/ATTACH]

Is this the one where the bearings are made from glass beads? I had a look at this about ten years ago & decided that it was a bit too much for my horological skills!!

i had one of these some years ago and never finished it - I had a problem getting decent glue. i see that Delux Materials have a specialist paper glue which may be worth trying.

Those are OK to assemble, the end connectors slide onto the links fairly easily but are not too loose. Still, pretty fiddly so I’m not sure they’re the set for you.


They’re not going onto any model of mine, so if you come to the conclusion you can use them, let me know.

Will do . Thanks .:thumb2:

Well, after FlyJoe's most excellent build of the 1/72 Hasegawa Jaguar my hankering for a 1/48 one rose again!
Choices are limited, especially when you rule out even thinking about the Kitty Hawk offering.
So,on the rare occasion that a suitable victim turns up,you have to be on the ball:tongue-out2:.Saw this one on the bay that is evil,and snaffled it with seconds to go......

From what I've read,this is a reboxing of the old Airfix one.The external details are acceptable, but the internals are rather lacking so extra work is needed, especially in the cockpit and engine areas,also,the wheels are apparently "balloon like",so some A.M. gear will be gathered
I got it for a good price,so the extras won't put the overall cost beyond sensible.

You have it got it now, that's all that matters.

[peterairfix]

I won this one on a certain auction site virtually the whole kit just missing its paper work should be fairly easy to find as I have ordered the missing items from minibrass
Price I paid for it £51
I couldn't attach the original picture as the site wouldn't let me but this is kit I will get (I know its another titanic but I would have been rude not to)

Hi Gary

Samsung A12
Android version 13
Camera 13.1.00.70

It's useless, should have read the reviews first, carphone Wearhouse will not even offer a part x. Had constant issues with it

Bit of a phone dinosaur lol

check the autorotation setting on the phone. ( should be in settings ( the cog wheel ) )
if autorotation is locked it can store wrong info on the pictures orientation settings ( exif data ) and so gets misinterpreted when uploaded to websites etc.
