Anyone here willing to bet that James May will be accused of being a paedo for hanging around school kids in sheds?

Not me. I'm pretty sure the world doesn't revolve around the Daily Mail.

how much do you reccon that cost to make?

I love James May - but he doesnt love me because im 27!

[bob1179]

Awesome!

Though they all seem to be girls helping him, aren't boys interested in making model planes anymore or has the world moved on since I was a lad (actually I still make kits now, but that's irrelevant...)?

I'm wondering how many little pots of Humbrol it took to paint it.

You obviously haven't read enough comics in your youth.

It's "Messerschmitt" for a start and no proper German would ever say "peeg" (that's Mexican bandit speak). A German would say "Die, Englander schweinhund",

Now that is worth the money.. Well done BBC for a change.

( I am not being sarcastic either :-D )

The smell of Humbrol enamel was half the fun. Why have they gone to acrylics?

PS Acrylic model paint is also rubbish, IMO.

Some countries don't allow the sale of enamel paints to minors (although there is no such restriction in the UK). However, the newest acrylics are pretty good. I find the Hannants range (Xtracrylics) excellent - especially when airbrushed. They come in a fully authentic range of shades for the major armies and air forces.

Also, Hunbrol enamels are no manufactured in China (where else) and they don't seem to have the same covering power as the old paints.

That's exactly what I've found.

Well I can't say for certain I'd have been able to spell Meserwotsit at age 8.

Wow that looks like great fun. Just inspired me to go and get a smaller version for my desk at work!
