Pete's Humbrol Tempest
Tried both those Joe, without much success. Also tried washing it out with white spirit - no effect, then lighter fuel, which dissolved the blu tak but also the paint. Pete- stillp

DH88 Comet bad news
They actually said they will rebuild her to flying condition, which is not quite the same thing. Pete -
Pete's Humbrol Tempest
Thanks Joe. It's not so good now - remind me to not use blue tak to mask wheel wells in future. The detail in the wells has trapped some tak in the corners. Couldn't get it all out so I'll paint over it. Pete- stillp

Latest Acquisitions (2026)
It's my birthday today and this came from my younger daughter: I don't know how I'm going to build it - it's bigger than my work space! If the wings fit well I might try to paint them separately and add them later. Pete -

Pete's Humbrol Tempest
I had to simplify the masking scheme a little as it's really difficult with my tremor, but I think it looks OK. I laid out the pattern with Tamiya tape for curves then filed in with normal Tamiya tape. Undercarriage wells were filled with white tack so I need to dig that out. Pete- stillp

DH88 Comet bad news
If anyone can rebuild it, it'll be the Shuttleworth team. No doubt the DH museum will offer help. Pete -
Papa695s Airfix 1/72 scale Hawker Typhoon Mk1B
Excellent Ian. It's hard to believe it's only 1/72, I'd have thought it was 1/24 if you hadn't stated the scale, and it would be great work even in that scale. Pete- stillp

Gaahleri Voortex Airbrush Paint Mixer
SWMBO declared that I had to have one, so ordered one today. Shame they're out of stock. I'll be sure to let you all know if/how it works. Pete -
Brian's Sovereign of the seas
Presumably all that bling was intended to dazzle the enemy so they couldn't shoot at the SoS. Pete- stillp

Gaahleri Voortex Airbrush Paint Mixer
I wasn't impressed by the reviewer but the mixer looks fairly good. Pete -
Gaahleri Voortex Airbrush Paint Mixer
There's an interesting review at Pity he didn't try Model Air or Tamiya paints. Pete -
Gaahleri Voortex Airbrush Paint Mixer
Come to think of it, it's my birthday on Wednesday and SWMBO has been asking me what I want. I've already got one of those nail varnish shaker, which makes an awful racket and doesn't do much mixing, and an ex-university laboratory vortex mixer which works well but walks across the workbench... -

BOATMANS B58 HUSTLER IN 148th scale with lights
Thanks for the info Chris. The instructions say to leave that liquid decal film to dry for 15 minutes, but I'm sure longer wouldn't hurt Pete- stillp

Brian's Sovereign of the seas
Rope looks good to me Bri. I wonder, was all that bling really gilded, or was it brass with a cabin boy to polish it every morning? Pete- stillp
