So glad I could make your day happier.  :)

So, you're saying you're using rivet transfers to make stitching?

That was really good news, until I discovered they only ship within US.  :'(

:'( Yep that's me out as well - ah well. (I have sent them an email anyway . . .)

Model is currently sitting on it's jig with lower wings attached; blimey it's a big beast compared with my usual fare, but should look good next to them. Also resurrected a couple of other builds so progress might be slower on this one than my usual glacial pace  :D

Ah well, crap!  I didn't see the part about shipping. As popular as the line is, maybe they're looking for a reseller overseas, etc. Paul, let us know what they say.

Shame - Didn't get a reply to my email so I shall have to be a bit parsimonious with the ones I've got  ;)

Thanks RAGIII

Spent a lot of time fiddling about with brass for the last few days (Although I did make up some struts and undercarriage for another couple of projects, one of which is currently competing with the Big Ack for my attention)  ::)

At least the wings are now on and set up ready for a final clean up before I get the paint out  ;D

Are you sure?
I have just put in a order from the UK, no problem, paid with paypal, international postage ?11.

Edit. Thats 11 British pounds postage, for some reason the forum keeps changing the pound sign to ?

"Are you sure?"
I was....too early!

Now I tried again, everything allright, they do ship everywhere.
Thank you for pointing out!

Thanks guys :D

Spent the weekend masking and painting the linen areas which used nearly a roll of tape.
Slight hiccup that was spotted before it went too far - The masking for the rib tapes applied over the sprayed lighter shade of linen was the thicker (0.7mm tape) rather than the 0.4mm I'd intended. Pondered whether to leave it for a few minutes and then stripped it all off and did it again  :P.
Mixed up some PC10 last night so hopefully the top surfaces will be done later . . . .
