Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

I am hoping you mean 1968 to 1971 rather than age 68 to 71  :rolleyes:

Just use stealth nowadays  ;) And as for that "little blue pill" they've changed in colour the same way my Atenolol has since Covid  :angel:

Chris I've got a couple sets of those drills.
They twist open where the top forms a V ..they can be annoying but slow strength will open em  ;D

Also the .3mm bit will break just looking at it .
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

Yeah, I have a set I'm almost afraid to use... one day, but only by hand and not power - even battery.

Nope ..hand only ..ive got 5 Dremels including a cordless one ..they will never see these drill bits .
The 1.2 mm is the thickest but even still mate .

That or a screwdriver blade  :angel:

Got to them in the end, and yes they will only ever be used by hand. Sizes are 0.1mm  :o  to 1.00mm. Probably only ever use half of them  :angel:

Yeah these are the same types of drills yours is just a different sized set ..but they all break with very little effort 😆
I got two sets cause I broke the .2mm bit with the slightest of touches ..agreed tho..doubt I'll ever use a drill that small.

Drilling with a hair chopped off your head would be easier!

I think I get just as good a result by twisting a knife point, or reaming the hole carefully with a triangular file.

Spent the morning trying to remember some basic formulae for calculating probabilities/possibilities/permutations. Think I finally remembered, to be honest I looked it up and found an on line calculator  :angel: , but the people I was checking it out for aren't going to believe me  :rolleyes:

Zero has the main bits assembled, it's a sweet little kit

Tempest has its undersurface colours on

Helldiver now has all its transfers on.

Started some initial assembly work on the Mosquito and Beaufighter.

Got a Hasegawa Dauntless down from the stash

You're in a swing!  :thumbsup:
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition!

I was 12 years ago.  ;D  I know I like Dr Who, but I don't think I've mastered the art of time travel just yet  ;)

They are all finished now though  ;D

I blame the microscopic telephone screen, but then again - it's nice to be in a swing, so let's pretend.. ;)

More than happy to pretend I'm back in 2012, not to sure my back and knees will co-operate though  ;)

I've made a miniscule amount of progress on a couple of projects, but no where near what I'd wanted to get done  :-\  No idea what the hiatus is, but these things pass and I'll be at Northern Show in just over the week, so maybe that will give me a push in the right direction.
