Blimey

Thanks for the English lesson: I did not know this word, and Google Translate failed to translate it but Google/Reverso gave me the meaning ("Mince alors !" in French, which Google Translate says is "Gosh!" in English). I am not sure I will use it but I will understand when I hear it now, thanks!

Pretty close to what I intended, yes.

AIUI "blimey" is derived from the exclamation "may god blind me!".

That's what I was always told and back in the 60's it was a word you didn't use in front of either of my Grand Mothers

Thanks for the extra language explanation

While the Arado 681 paint is drying, I have started to separate parts of the LR-51 (both very old XLR-51 and modern LR-51D):

I have started to glue parts, but the 3 sides LeeRichards fuselage handling was uneasy... $:-\$

"Seriously", the models construction is progressing...

Tophe · January 26, 2021, 11:57:29 PM

I have a little improved the wings (to fuselage junction): decreasing the span of the Mustang parts (sorry PR19_Kit) and improving the parallelism rear/front of the annular part. And adding putty on fuselages (to be completed). This is hard work $:-\$

Tut tut.................

Uh, shame on me for the wings... $:-\$

Now sanding fuselages, one side then the other one, then adding putty again:

I have sanded again fuselages and I stop this, even if still imperfect (for the old plane, the side is not smooth on the front so this will be a canard simply

This is looking very cool!

Tophe · February 07, 2021, 08:15:29 PM

Thanks a lot!

I have glued the second annular half wing on the Mustang fuselage, adding wheels to make it stand properly (not fallen down on the starboard wing tip) and I have added putty in front of the LeeRichards canopy:
