That looks very neat, and maybe applicable to other aircraft too.

The only issue with the Heller J29 issue is the non-afterburning engine cowling provided. That, however, can be fixed by bashing one of the rather awful Revellobox Tunnans with a Heller hull, and Bob's your uncle.

I think someone here copied the Matchbox burner can for use on the Heller.  A pm to Martin H should provide a few answers.

I went to Bolton with 12 kits, sold 8, and bought 1 new kit.

That was the newly re-released Airfix SRN-1 hovercraft. There was a nicely finished one on show at Bolton.

Thanks to those who helped with my sales. It covered my petrol bill.

Scratching one is probably more effective, IIRC the Matchbox part is just a small "cup" with a relatively small diameter and a flat rim, it does not look like the real thing at all, and fits poorly, too. 

A pretty quite sort of haul today ..just 8 packets of evergreen 2.5mm angle styrene strips .
The November issue of Airfix Model World ..which for us is the latest and ghe October issue of Tamiya model magazine..latest again.
Also 4 more AK Interactive paints and the right thinner for it.
A Verlinden M60 A1 engine and compartment .

The coolest thing is tho this Feller high voltage masts set ..220mm in height ..I believe they are HO scale but I can promise you lot this ..evil plans are afoot already   

It's "Faller", I guess? Then it should be H0/1:87 scale.

Yep Faller..a long day and lack of coffee Thomas 😆
And thank ya ..there's nothing I can find on the packaging which says it's scale .
No need to worry now 

These arrived today from BNA.  Two sets.
The compressor housing section is about the same length as a 1/25 big block v8 engine block.  So they should be suited to scaleoramaing into 1/25 cars.

Why doesn't this surprise me?   

Delivered yesterday, after being lost in transit for almost a month, 4 mask sets in 1/72...

A nice little box of Hataka Blue  line paint from my Horton Ho 267, late era Luftwaffe paint of course.
