I like the Airfix Mustang but I found an issue with the fuselage mate on the bottom underneath the heat exchanger back by the front exhaust. I've tried finding the cause but haven't found it. I've built two on a friend also noticed the same. In front and behind all fits well.

I'll look for that!

Post man rang today wearing his cool pith style hat. Dots to you! A book that looked interesting while researching the E13A1 in French service.

A few bits and pieces turned up this morning - just what the doctor ordered...

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Lots of good stuff there Grant.

 

[Airframes]

Re-stock of lead wire, in 0.23mm, 0.46mm and 0.56mm.
These are on reels holding between 3 metres to 5 metres, depending on gauge, obtained from an angling supplies outlet, which is a much more economical way of obtaining the wire, in longer lengths, compared to modelling supplies outlets.
(the wire is supplied for tying trout fishing lures).

I have a roll of photocopier corona wire. Easy to wind and gold coated so it lasts. Around .06mm thickness.

 

[Airframes]

Yep, I have various gauges of different types of wires too.
A friend who works for a telecomms company gave me a large reel (500 metres) of sheathed, twin-core "jumper" wire. This has proved very useful, and can be used "as is", or strip off the sheath for a finer wire, and the sheath can be used for tubing.

Great scores guys, and great idea with the wiring. Probably a whole lot cheaper than the Uschi, etc stuff (?)

 

[Airframes]

Yep. This lot cost me £10, for a total of 22 metres across the three gauges. Buying in the small modelling packs would equate to around £35 for the same quantity.

One of my unexpected surprise purchases arrived today.

 

[fubar57]

These came while I was in camp from Great Hobbies, back East. Top to bottom: RLM02, RLM80, RLM81, Burnt Iron, Olive Drab, Dark Earth, RLM70, RLM71

​

The Galeria Satin came from another source. I like their Flat so much I thought I would give this a go. Life lesson....don't open package over a sink full of dish water. Thought I would give Mr Hobby Weathering Light Brown a try instead of mixing two Tamiya Panel Liner colours together

​

I bought these just to get the free shipping

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Nice little bag of tricks George.

 

[A4K]

Great scores Jesse and Geo!
