Exhausts would never have been silver, even when new. A brownish grey metallic would be better. Pete- stillp

Eduard Lavochkin la7 1/48 completed
I finished painting a 1/72 Eduard La-7 a few years ago, and left it in the garage for an hour a yard or so away from a fan heater on its lowest setting - the undercarriage legs warped. It looked as if it'd had a very hard landing! I wonder if Eduard were using a very low melting point plastic...- stillp

What to do with completed models?
I always included in the description a statement that I would pack carefully but can't be responsible for damage during shipping. I never had a complaint although did get some feedback that minor damage had occurred (aerials, pitots, and similar). Pete -
What to do with completed models?
I've never made much money, but if got the price of the kit back plus a little towards paint etc Ebay isn't too much hassle, and if you've posted a 'Finished' thread you already have the photos. The main problem with packing is stopping the model moving around inside the box. Pete -

Brian's Caldercraft 1/72 HMS Victory
I found my book; "Nelson's Victory". Mostly history of the ship and her crew - an interesting read but no details of the materials. There are several contemporary paintings of Victory that show a similar grey area above the stern gallery windows. I think it must be lead or painted canvas, but...- stillp

Brian's Caldercraft 1/72 HMS Victory
About 10 - 12 years ago I bought a book about the history of HMS Victory that went into great detail about the various changes that have been made to her, and the various colours she's been painted.
