Great Idea ! What a brilliant idea - i know the stuff you are on about John, and not once did this go through my head to use it this way, i will give it a spin when i get chance. :thumb::thumb:

What a Beauty :thumb: You SIR, did this F1 Classic full justice. Very clean and very sharp build..... this would look great on the FRONT PAGE :twisted: The thing about wheels is that the components {especially at this scale} have to be bang on with the scoring of glue tabs, and LOTS of...

This is my usual brand - but had to settle for the pound shop stuff till times get better. Glad you like the model my friend.

Nice design and Build. I agree, this is so much better than alot of the free models out there, i think he could have made some money with this - the generosity of some members in our hobby forums is heart warming. :thumb:

Sure did. I am doing a B.O.A.C re-paint :thumb:

Thanks John. I would love one of the big corporation display models - the ones they supply to Holiday/Travel agencies, they're huge - not very detailed, but huge. One of those could easily be stripped down and some real detail added - don't know how we mere mortals could get our hands on one of...

Hi ED and welcome to Zealot. We all go through that "shall i post this build or not" stage, it's very easy to overcome.... just POST IT :thumb: Nothing you or any of us build is too good or not good enough to be shown. We are our own worst critics for sure, hell.... most of my stuff is mediocre...

Here's the front section of the model thus far. I have had to use cheap cardstock {hard times } trouble with doing this, you really do realise you only get what you pay for ! For one, it doesn't hold the ink properly, and two.... the glue on formers sometimes starts to appear on the surface of...

I did indeed John, makes for a far better profile and all skins follow around at the correct angle :thumb:

I have been doing some research and found a great deal of information for the Boeing B-707. On my search, i discovered a disaster which happened in 1966. Here is what i found: Aircraft : Boeing B-707-436 B.O.A.C Flight 911 {Speedbird 911} Piloted by Bernard Dobson {Dorset - U.K} Aircraft...
