Very little change from July ping. Slight progress on Hawker Hunter. Aileron actuator fairing, tail bumper and speed brake added. Primer finished and first coat of gloss pewter grey added. It appears too dark, so a hunt for a lighter grey will start shortly. Should it not be available in  rattle can, a mixture using my airbrush will be in order. The Berwick Gala Model Show boxes are pack will 90+ models being taken for display. It will include the majority of the 1/72 collection and all of the 1/144 models. A few 1/48 and 1/32 models will also be displayed. I have decided to bring the big Bonaventure and its air fleet.

For August, I hope to finish the Hawker Hunter and its companion Sabre. The priority will be to clean up my work and display areas as I have neglected them far to long.

Must be summer. Pretty quiet even in my workshop. Collection is packed. The Hawker Hunter is painted and the stores/pylons are in the paint shop. The decals have been created and should be printed today. If you are not to busy, drop in and tell us how your summer is going.

  Winter over here. Doesn't get as cold as your neck of the woods.
  Days are getting longer and slightly warmer.

It's summer here for sure, some parts of the UK are due some very heavy rainfall over the next 2 days. Garden work and other outdoor jobs filling my days at the moment.Regards Paul J.
