    Steve's Hasegawa 1/72 Apache AH64A attack helicopter (Geoffers US icons GB)

    Very nice indeed Steve, good job. (y) I've also never built a helo, but if I did it would probably be the Apache.

    Modelling data mining......

    Yeah, mines also in the walnut thumb hole stock, it's the shorter K version, though in .22. Gave it a service last year, full strip and replaced every O-ring. Also quite a bit less recoil than my .357 Magnum, .44 Magnum and 7.62mm rifles. :ROFLMAO:

    Modelling data mining......

    Nice. I sold most of my airguns when I got my Firearm Certificate, but kept one (Weihrauch HW100) for use in the garden.

    Modelling data mining......

    For some hobbies, yes out of necessity. For example, I'm a target shooter and I reload my own ammunition. I keep details of how many rounds I make each session, and of what calibre, because I need to give this info to the Firearms Team every 5 years when I renew my licence. I also keep records...

    Mr Bowcat's AMT Shelby Mustang GT-350 - Geoffers' US Icon's GB

    Hi all. :) Finished this one up today, not my best work unfortunately, the kit fought me all the way.

    Stashes and insurance.

    There are statutory guidelines for complaints, including timelines. If they fail to respond, escalate to the Financial Ombudsman Service.

    Stashes and insurance.

    Might be worth lodging a complaint with the broker, they should have highlighted any significant terms, especially if your friend is considered "vulnerable".

    AMT Shelby Mustang GT-350

    Morning all. :) Continued to push on, got the interior painted (not my best work) and stuck the chassis, engine/gearbox and interior (mostly) together. Still need to put some matt clear on the seats as they are a bit shiny. Not sure yet if I am going to bother wiring the engine up??

    Stashes and insurance.

    Not entirely true, outbuildings are covered under Home Insurance, as long as they meet minimum security standards and theft is "forcible or violent".

    Stashes and insurance.

    To be fair, there was probably more to it than that. Insurers can't arbitrarily refuse claims without good reason. If it was due to not having a receipt, this would have been a term of the policy, contained in the policy wording, which should have been read and understood before purchasing the...

    AMT Shelby Mustang GT-350

    Thanks all. :) Pushed on with this yesterday. I put the gloss coat on the body, this will now be left for a few days to fully cure before sanding and polishing. In the meantime I started putting the chassis and engine together.

    AMT Shelby Mustang GT-350

    Morning all. :) Been quite a while since the last update, I have just had not interest in modelling in the hot weather. However as I am off on my holidays soon I wanted to push on and try and get this finished. Got the decals (all 6 of them) on, and decided to paint the stripes as I didn't...

    Would you find this useful?

    Yes, would be handy if the chosen colour was out of stock.

    Stashes and insurance.

    That's a very archaic way of thinking. Insurance has been a regulated industry since 2004, insurers only don't pay where there is no cover in force, or fraud is detected. Current stats show in excess of 95% of genuine claims are paid. This is why it's important to read your policy and know...

    Morning all. :) Slow progress on the Shelby, but I did paint the chrome window and rear light surrounds yesterday.
