Every new bit of info on the FlyDubai incident makes it more incredible, especially the recovery from that overspeed dive, w/ parts of cockpit panels having been smashed in and possibly the engines cut off as well & the 737 holding up perfectly despite all the Gs. One for the aviation history books!

The sdasm archive has posted this image of a model of Boeing's projected but never completed 757-100 variant (on the right, left is a -200), which is interesting because there are not many artists' impressions of this shortened version. flic.kr/p/2sDKcjB

Small (or, again, perhaps medium-sized) joys: after the back operation I'm getting quite mobile again. First time post-op on a train! To celebrate I had an ayam pedis sandwich (spicy chicken) at an Indonesian shop, my home cuisine. Nice tho not that spicy really: food ideally should make me sweat.

Had a massive vestibular migraine attack day before yesterday, only just recovering. I should do a write up on the symptoms one day, for the greater good so to speak, as I keep meeting people who experience similar symptoms but got wrong diagnosis, as I initially had. (Not! a headache by the way).

すっかり撮り忘れていましたが、タミヤの1/48シーハリアーは、完成後も上部のハッチ(載せてあるだけ)を取って、ペガサスエンジンが拝めます。あと四つのベクタードノズルが連動して指向する機構が入っているのですが……、ノズルと各ヒンジへの接着しろが小さく、ノズルが全部ポロリしてしまいました。次に作る時はパテでガチガチに固めるしかないかなあ。

タミヤのシーハリアーFRS.1は、フォークランド紛争のあった1982年に発売されました。1971年発売のハリアーGR.3の金型を改修して作られています。金型をイチから起こすよりも短期間で済む手法で開発されたあたり、当時いかにシーハリアーが注目され、タミヤが機を逃すまいとしていたかが伺えます。

It’s a bit stark, but this is pretty much it. I personally tried to incorporate a "blizzard" feel into the space. Though, I guess that might not be obvious... 😅 The idea is that the wind is blowing snow from the rocky area in the back-left toward the right-foreground. Ah, that was fun.

Some Transall parts that still needed finishing were the RR Tyne exhausts and the crew entry ladders. See alt for more. #revelltransall
Pic of 1/72 exhausts for the Revell Transall C-160. Painted with Alclad metallics, on an Alclad black base. First I sprayed an polished aluminium coat, then a light coat of Gold Titanium, then some Copper highlights. Sealed with Future, then exhaust soot using a homemade mix of Mr Hobby colours I use for soot, tyres and smoke.Photo of 1/72 ladders for the Transall C-160s. The base paint layer is a Mr Surfacer mix black 1500/ grey 1200 without a top paint layer. First time I've done that I think. Details were painted with Vallejo and Citadel paints. Dry brushed with Vallejo.

One of life's small (or medium-sized) joys: to discover an unseen Columbo episode. 'Fade in to Murder' from 1976 starring William Shatner. One of the funnier episodes, Shatner's acting is gold quality ham.

I made a start with the 1/72 F-104S. Hasegawa has you sticking forward and rear subassemblies to each other, but I read about fit problems that way so I've gone about it differently as seen below. Also taxying 104s usually had flaps lowered so I've cut them out as well. #histscalemodels #italiagb

1日1ミリ。オープントップのラムカンガルーの上で傘をさしておどけて見せるイギリス軍兵士。この動画は1945年2月、オランダ北東部からライン川渡河をめざすヴェリタブル作戦の1コマである。シルクハットをかぶってポーズを決める兵士、何かのデモンスとレーションなのだろうが、このシーンが今回の『関西AFVの会』の出品作の下敷きになった。

So I hope I'll get started on time not to mention finish it on time, but I'm committing to a kick-off anyway. #ItaliaGB #histscalemodels I couldn't find it in the attic until just now: 1/72 Hasegawa F-104S Starfighter. I will probably finish it in 23º or 102º Gruppo markings.

Calling #ItaliaGB -- I'd like to double check. Is the F-104S Spillone (Starfighter) considered 'Made in Italy'? It was a Lockheed design, but license-built at Cameri near Turin, and tweaked with Italian systems and weapons. If so I just miiight be able to participate maybe hopefully.

Last steps (though many itsy bits to go) in the Revell 1/72 Transall C-160 builds. Masking tape has been removed, not without leaving quite a bit of residue to still be removed. Wheels have been attached and the C-160s are now quite happy to stand on their own feet. #RevellTransall #histscalemodels

I'm in the very final stages of the Transall C-160 builds #RevellTransall. I've taken my sweet time to properly weather them. Still left to do is the small bits as well as painting the few spots I missed. But you know how it is, small stuff in total takes more time then you think. See alt for more.
Aeen here are the propellers and some of the wheels of the three 1/72 Transall C-160s I'm building. The wheels have been 'weighted' down by carefully applying heat on a selected area and then pressing the wheel down hard. That creates an effect as seen above. As the Transall was fairly heavy, I wanted seriously weighted wheels -- they might seem overdone now, but I think they'll look the part. As to the props: you will notice five of them. As one Transall will be in taxying mode, with plastic simulating turning props, I will only need four propellers in total, so one is in reserve. You will also notice the two sets show slightly differing prop tip colours and patterns. These correspond to French and German Air Force painting schemes.
