Fuselage halves fitted together really well for a change. Finished as Pierre Closterman's aircraft. The 'base'...- stillp

Very puzzled and annoyed
The copter kit that I had a problem with had several short-shot sprues so was moulded at too low pressure or too cold. -
Very puzzled and annoyed
That would be good for a rusty barn find diorama. I had a similar occurrence with a Revell helicopter a few years ago. I put various small parts in Dettol overnight and some of them just disappeared! Pete -

Brian's Sovereign of the seas
The gold wouldn't be affected but the underlying carved wood would expand and contract. Gilded furniture is normally glod leaf over gesso but that wouldn't withstand water for long. Pete- stillp

Papa695s Airfix 1/72 Vickers Wellington Mk.1A/C
I've just been reading about Norman Johnson, flight engineer in a Lancaster of 106 squadron who although wounded in leg and shoulder, tried to crawl along the wing to extinguish an engine fire after an attack by an FW190.
