That's 'Jingles' I found him at the side of a road one day some years back, he's been great for wind-ups.
I'm not really a scratch builder, but when you see the detail that Revell (Matchbox) give you, something had to be done.
We've had a succession of them for years. Most come from a rescue place in Stoke on Trent.
Some cracking work Colin. The pit looks dapper.
I must concur with my esteemed colleagues.
Top job sir!
I ate a Guinea Pig ('Quy' -pronounced Kwee) in Peru. They let them run around the floor until the time comes for them to be cooked - no sentimental attachment from the kids! PS: The 'plane is coming on very well indeed!

One of Patrick O'Brian's Jack Aubrey books goes into quite some detail on the subject if I remember correctly
An old ship mate put a picture of his lunch up on FB once, yes, it was a Guinea Pig, with chips, looked OK to be fair, just a bit bony.
Well, I’m not sure what I’m building at the moment. It looks a bit sci-fi, it must be all that white plastic.
But at least the cockpit fitted without any drama.

Impressive work Colin, the office and " Jingles''
Any chance of some photos of him please ?

That's really coming on.
Cockpit came out great colin , those intakes look like theyre going to need a trowel and a bucket of filler though! Cheers tony
I’ve got a feeling the primer coat is going to highlight a few little problems for me to deal with. However, for a 42/43year old mould, I can’t complain.
A bit more has been done.
Booms are on, fettling required, followed by the engine covers, again with a bit more fettling. No major surgery involved, just trial fit and sand to adjust.
Is anyone brave enough just to add the recommended amount of weight ? 30g the instructions say. Well 37, just in case.
SHOULDNT Jingles have about nine eyes though as the big bugger a real one i had i my house had them ? an when i shone a torch light on him his eyes lit up like diamons an the plane an'it bad either

OH Rick HAHA VERY WITTY THATI believe it's eight eyes........one for each leg Chris. I guess with that many appendages one, could easily trip up, if one didn't keep an eye on them!! :nerd::thumb2:

Two flippin’ big eyes work for Jingles.
Masking canopies isn’t my favourite task, but at least in 1:32 it’s a bit easier, that is until you remember you have to mask the inside as well for an open canopy. There’s nothing like doing a job twice.
