Always thought that the Ultra Sabre was a dodgy piece of work - that intake just behind the cockpit - bet you couldn't run the engine with the canopy open - & ejecting must have been a real nightmare!

I kind of doubt the canopy could be open with the engine on, no. It lifted almost straight upward, by the way, instead of pivoting on the back (or front). As for ejecting, that was apparently no problem — North American did its homework with the design, and even though it looks unusual, everything worked well enough.
Seeing how Santa dissed me for Christmas, my first self pressie showed up today, Needed some of this stuff,
The botanics are for another plan of mine and I hope to finish it this time. I also kinda sorta broke my own rule, but a lot of you here on the forum are to blame this time. There are so many floaty thing builds going on, I felt I had to jump in and join the club,
Hey, you gotta start somewhere!!!!!!!..............Ok, now quit laughing folks.....................................

Surprising bargain in the Midl of Lidl this week. £5 mini drill set with clamp plus various bridges, good range of precision bits and some sets of teeny tiny ones. Tested a few on plastic and wood and am rather impressed - nice clean holes and even if the bits break there are numerous spares (30 in sets of five I think). Have a shifty if The Enemy packs you off shopping.

Well thanks for that !!
I bought the Tamiya version a couple months back..... and having seen your post,i think i`ll get me one of those AM Cannons also:thumb2:,
Andy
I`ve considered those rubber boats before......
.... but aren`t they a bit pricey Allen??:flushed:
Andy
Might have to nip down to Lidl on my evening walk tomorrow!!!
Morn Andy,
No, not really.......the kit sells for €6,45 over here. The Dragon kits go for stupid silly prices though!!!

Sounds suspiciously like a comment I heard my wife make when discussing our wedding anniversary with her friend ...
Dang, don't know how I got the double post. Sorry about that..........
Anyway, today my ship really came in (pun intended) and I got my other two pressies from Christmas. This one out of Poland with some goodies that are needed for the plan,
A couple of scrapers with a good range of sizes and the voyager set includes a nut maker too. Handle making tool, spatulas and a pot to keep the hissy stick clean. These were also in the order,
A sprue holder and a little shelf set that holds different sized bottles that don't fit in the other HZ shelves I have. Now a lot of these things I bought over the past week are tied together for a project I have in mind. The last pressie was from a firm here in Germany and over the years, I have always wanted to get some things from him, but never took the step. Thanks to a Christmas bonus from work, I took the step into reality and all I can say is "WOW",
And this one too,
Most excellent detail and quality casting. Laser cut wood too. Now you see what a lot of the other stuff I bought is for. AND..........On Monday, I go back to work for 2 and only 2, days a week!!!!!!!!! Table time (don't have a bench), here I come baby!!!!!!!!!!!!
Prost, to my Boss
Allen
PS, I have blue foam in the stash, but I'm just too lazy to make my own buildings. Sad, I know..................................
