Urban GardiniLook at those horrible rivets n' panel lines from hell. It's a new box but the kit itself hails from 1976...

Urban GardiniThanks! The pilot isn't that good but once in the cockpit it wont be seen as much...

Holger KranichMy god! Cant believe that Airfix dares to sell something like that...

Urban GardiniHorrible is what it is! Imagine if you're a kid tryin' this one as the very first model! Not a good way to attract new young modellers.

Holger KranichBut when you can get your hands on a tamiya or hasegawa after this airfixkit, you will fly in heaven!
23 November 2011, 13:52
Urban GardiniYes but how likely is that for a kid with a short attention span?

Holger KranichIn this case your damn right! I can remember one of my first models had those fittingproblems, too. And my thought was: It must be so... 🙂

Urban GardiniWhat could be classed as a nuisance for a veteran builder is a pure downfall for a beginner.

Holger KranichTrue words, Urban!
Puh i´m glad, in approx 20 minutes i can finish working and get home to my bench. Will see how far i can get with my FW 190. Tomorrow i must´nt work and i´m going to enjoy a good single malt whilst building!!!🙂

Urban GardiniNice mate! Take one finger for me as well as it's been a loooong time since I had the luxury of a fine Single Malt due to my pain killers that I've got to take way too often.

Urban GardiniI won't be any better in the future as I'm sufferin' from two whiplash injuries in my neck n' a frozen shoulder plus a lot more that makes my day...
24 November 2011, 10:58
Holger KranichOh s..t, that sounds pretty hard! How can you get a frozen shoulder? Do you live in the forest?
25 November 2011, 07:23
Urban GardiniIt's from workin' with various CNC lathes n' mills in the metal industry. The shoulder gave up on me so it's a work related injury.

Urban GardiniNot so easy at my age to retire. So at the moment I'm an unenployed CNC Operator that tries to return to the roots as a seller. I've done ten years as a seller in a sport n' fishing store in the distant past.

Bill GilmanYikes, that sounds nasty! The fit problems of the Airfix kit are nothing compared to that. I've had seven back surgeries, I have a titanium rod in my left femur, and I've survived lymphoma. So I am also quite well acquainted with the pain killers. Couldn't get through the day without them! Good luck to you for improved health!

Urban GardiniThanks mate, it looks like you're in worse shape than me so I feel for you...
26 November 2011, 08:40
Urban GardiniTrue that or as I said to my girlfriend today. I'm not afraid of dyin', it can't be worse than livin'!
