You disappoint me Vaughan. I've never had any trouble with new tool Airfix. What has happened, have the manufacturers taken their eye off the ball ? The quality issues we're having with new tool kits is quite disappointing.\ said:Your wrong there Colin the Airfix Sackleton has real fit issues check out my thread. Do you think between the two kits we could make a half decent one. By the way yours is looking very good.
It looks like your starting a wind farm Colin\ said:Well this isn't much of an update. but as I'm waiting for the parts from Revell, I'm having a go at building lots of sub assemblies instead. So, look, propellers, loads of them.
The red - white - red tips are not catered for in the decal department, it's all down to you to spray - mask - spray - mask - spray. Just the black to do now, then I can build the engines.

Do I need a license for that................\ said:It looks like your starting a wind farm Colin
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo....................................well it'll look nice when it's done.\ said:Colin you might find that the fuselage required putty along the entire seam? I've had to do this
No Colin just eat plenty of beans\ said:Do I need a license for that................
Followed by a quick "Never again"\ said:Good to see this back on track. One day, you will be sat there contemplating your model builds and you will look over to the Shackleton and with a gentle smile think 'I built that'.
This is down to Eduard. They do a nice cockpit improvement bit of PE.\ said:Nice work going into the cockpit.
Revell took over two months from my initial email, which I think had been overlooked / forgotten about.\ said:I had to wait about 2 months for clear parts from Dragon last year!
Thanks Joe. Eduard again ! As PE goes, it's not too bad.\ said:Super looking interior.
Well now, behave. It's actually going alright. The fuselage went together ok, a bit of filler on the seems was required. All the glazing fitted well, yes a pain to mask, but hey., not the kit's fault. The wings were a good fit, with a tiny gap to fill, easily done with a water based filler. And here it is. Finally, it looks like a Shackleton.\ said:i hope this kit starts behaving itself
