Have you clocked this site XN?

http://www.bloodhoundmkii.org.uk/112s.htm

why am i reminded of stingray?- certainly VERY evocative of the Cold War!

Trouble with your suggestion is- i need a TSR2! mine went the same way as the real one for the same reasons!

Hi Dirk

if you havn't already why not sign up now.

which Hunter are you hoping to build?

dbaumi60 · Posted: Thu 23 Oct 2008 11:10 am Post subject:

Hello Walrus,

I want build Airfix 02073; Hawker Hunter FGA Mk.9; 1:72.

This kit, I haven't in my stock. And the best shop here in Gdansk not,too. They have really many kits but unfortunally not many Airfix-kits. So I ordered in a online-shop.
I don't want sign in now, because, if I will not get it, I don't want take part in this GB.
I don't like sign in and then not doing it.

Regards Dirk

I had a bit of disappointment today as I fished the F-86D out of the stash and began to examine it closely. This was a ebay purchase that (I thought) was a bargain. Not so. The kit has several problems.

It's started. Nothing major but some painting has been done. Poorly.

Parts are missing. Most of the interior, one speed brake and the pylons are gone.

This is upsetting, and I've decided not to build it right now. So I'll be confining my participation in the group build to the Banshee, which is in fine shape and complete and ready to go.

Oh ebay--where is thy sting?

After getting a ruling from the judges (about whether it's "started" or not), I'm going to press on with the F-86D and see if I can build it. Should be interesting...

I've had a quick look at the Meteor kit I'll be building in this GB, think there may be a typo in the instructions.

I don't think the RAF flew their Meteors in grey primer, would I be correct in guessing this should read "11"?

good luck chaps- chocks away! did they still say things like that in the jet age? did they ever really say things like that?

any way much plastic to scrape and reshape! and a Harrier to build - great stuff!
