Still little progress, but we've had several offers on the house. Almost sold, I hope. This is going to go up to the last minute I fear.

shrikes,
I could pop the canopy off my old, busted Monogram F-86. I think it's degined differently to the academy, and it's painted, but maybe..........

ghettochild, looks good. Can we use it????

update on the EE Lightning, the airframe is complete and its sanded and about to have some re-scribing done.will be priming it with mat black today. i've been to my lhs to get some Humbrol polished aluminium "metal cote" enamel. to finish it with. i'll spray it, mask some of the panels with micropore then polish.

btw, still getting the dreaded red x, not sure what the problem is but it aint showing in your sigs either. any ideas? if someone could post the url i'll see if i can get it onto my sig.
cheers.

Liam: If you're willing to let it go, sure! But how do i pay you for postage? (I'm not too sure if our mail system here does money order, etc...)

Hey, the badge looks great, ghettochild! Can we start using it?! Smile [:)]

Well I've got all these supplies for an academy 1/48 P-38 J, resin cockpit, extra decals and a bottle of alclad 2, so if you want more folks in here, as soon as i finish my Pzkfw IV and maybe a tiger i'm probably gfoing to start that. It will be the first kit i build with lots of extra stuff on it so i was sort of putting it off a little, this at least gives me a deadline!
ok, talk to you later
