To blow out a forest fire you'd need a Harrier, or something like this:

Looks like International Rescue are on the scene again.

French experience with the Canadairs prove they are greatly efficient

... God bless Canadair for the 215 & 415

(& 615 forthcoming, imagine rolleyes

... and if the Broncobra seems not adequate for this job, where would it be perfect? let us dream... rolleyes

Sorry Ollie, for the misreading of CDF, you already corrected me once, but I had not found it again Sad

Well, I AM BACK in actual modelism

, I have opened one of my boxes, 8 years later (I was modelling aged 9-16 then 23-34, now 41-77?). This will be a double-reverse (canard & asymmetric) TL-I\\ from the Unicraft model BMW TL.J-III... Not a chance for me to win, but I want very much to follow your steps, dear friends, at least to try...

I have a green question, sorry

: what glue must be used for the vacform canopy? I remember I was using cyanoacrylat common quick glue for resin parts, but I do not remember for the fragile light canopies... In my memory is the word 'epoxy-glue' (to be found in handy-work shop), I am not sure at all. Could someone help me, please... Sad

Tophe I use Humbrol Clearfix for canopies, but you can use white PVC woodwork glue that dries clear.

Thanks a lot dear Chris

, I will buy some and use it safely (I was not fearing for the clear aspect as I will paint the canopy black, but a too strong glue might attack/dissolve/burn the thin fragile vac-plastic Sad

, the way Alien's blood do with floors of the spacecraft afro

, nightmare for my poor little first model of the XXIst century Sad

The easy work is almost done ^_^ . Now I will go to

putty and sandpaper – long and hard work, with rather unpleasant memories (never finished… Sad

Apart of reverting Blink

into a canard (booms are not glued yet, oblical foreplanes are scheduled), I have put the wing low with a light anhedral, to ease the harmonious standing on the shelf without landing gear… evil

The putty is on, yes… Great surprise: 10 years later, this Humbrol Model Filler is still working well. I just have to buy sand-paper and polish and polish again, then put putty again where removed, let dry, and polish again. Reminding the old years, feeling young again… Thanks.

Keep it up Tophe, filling and sanding is always the hardest part for me. Once you get past this stage you'll be on the home straight Tornado!

The wooden tool has a whole story... In my 1998 old boxes were putty and water-polish-sand-paper but no more raw-sand-paper for first erasing, so I went to the handy-work shop: closed for July! Well, I went to the near paper-shop, alas they had no sand-paper sheets, just this schoolish little tool, with one little tape of sand paper on each side... ^_^
(I guess it is for a child introduction to sand paper, not a torture tool Sad

for teachers angry

- in our countries at least...

Uhhhh Trophe, I love the work you're doing mate, however, one question. Is the cockpit located on the forward part of the fuselage? Just saw the box art and it sorta appears that the Fuselage pod may be backwards. Or I have something mixed up in how I'm looking at it.
