    Floods

    Rick W replied to woa2's topic in MV Chatter

    I took our youngest down to our allotment yesterday for a post winter check. The fields at the bottom of the allotments are flooded higher then Ive seen them in 40 odd years. With the sun out and the floodwater at the bottom of the field it was like being at the seaside. Barmy.

    Good post, thanks for sharing! I was toying with the idea with mine, horrible starting, even with brand new battery and starter. You have convinced me to take the plunge!:tup::

    Cracking link with some great photos. Like the pic of the jet Heinkel in Hyde Park and the pic and stony of the japanese soldier who was holding out until the 1970's.

    Decorating

    Rick W replied to rosie's topic in Other Chatter

    I done my lads bedroom in NATO sand paint. Took me 3 days to get rid of the chemical smell! On a good note though I found this Apache helicopter wall transfer on ebay. It looks bloody good, in fact I was trying to convince my better half that it would look good on our kitchen wall, she didnt think so. Have a look http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MILITARY-HELICOPTER-APACHE-wall-art-stickers-transfer-kids-graphic-artwork-ne13-/180761306817?pt=UK_Wallpaper&var=&hash=item6fc4f9da8d

    As Tony said, I think you are far better off buying one of the EI kits,

    I wouldnt bother Joris, Spitfire plugs came onto the scene a few years ago, I tried them in a few cars and they made no difference. Just stick with good quality spark plugs, NGK etc.

    Well, I have ordered the plans, and had an email confirming they have been posted. We shall see.

    Range Wrecks

    Rick W replied to challenger's topic in MV Chatter

    That looks quite intact for a range wreck. Are the French bad shots?

    On another note, it strikes me that building a replica, it would be easier to use as a base model one that was covered in canvas rather than a steel bodied aircraft, for authenticity. Apart from the Hurricane and the biplanes were there any Axis fighters, ie ME109 or Focke Wulf which were canvas bodied? It would be easier to make a canvas bodied one than steel. Failing that, how would you replicate a steel body over wooden formers without looking like canvas?
  21. Rick W
    Who mentioned a small scale version?
  22. Rick W
    Aaaaah! Exactly what I need! Thanks for that.
  23. Rick W
    Thank you both!
  24. Rick W
    That was the one Lee, thanks. Any contact details for this?
  25. Rick W
    Ive been looking for this as well! Do you have any drawings or plans that are available so that one could reproduce the 109?
