Very good work in the Canberra plane, one of the jets i like very much. like the lighting is another very beautiful plane. very good video. Greetings Mp
Dear Manuel, Thanks very much! I thought that this project would interest me as I stage a return to the modelling desk and so it has turned out to be! Regards, Z
I agree with you Z - a newly tooled Lightning, TSR2 and Canberra (in both 1:72 and 1:48) would sell very well. The Canberra especially, with all the marks, schemes and users would ensure many years of releases.
Dear David, That's jolly decent of you to say so- many thanks! You may reset assured that I will continue!! I am progressing in various areas!! Regards, Z
Very good progress so far, Zin. I love the embellishments you've made to the rear face of the instrument panel. Most effective. The Canberra's a wonderful aeroplane and a perfect showcase for the prodigious talents of a certain Mr 'Teddy' Petter. Looking forward to future editions of this build.
@@markfranks1329 Dear Mark, How jolly decent of you to write- thanks very much! There’s more to come with this one, particularly in the detail!! Regards, Z
Great update Zin. I use the white glue alot for various reasons. I do think it's a stronger fix .But the main reason is I don't end up leaving thumb prints.
@@plasticmonkey5594 Dear Mr P, Thanks- I think as you do and in lots of places, white cap is actually easier to use! I didn’t consider the thumb print aspect, but you’re absolutely right!! Regards, Z
Dear Zin, Were the ejection seats, in fact, Martin-Baker-Eddy seats, and, if so, were they "zero-zero" or did they have a minimum ejection altitude? Also, given the relative locations of the bombardier's seat and the navigator's seat, with respect to the location of the pilot's seat, would the pilot have to have exited before his crew mates (or vice versa) and, if so, was there some sort of automatic time delay between pilot ejection and bombardier / navigator ejections? P.S. Just read the Substack posting in re the Canberra - great writing, and yes,, I believe you are correct that NASA still uses a B-57 as a research vehicle.
Dear Tron, The seats were early Martin Baker variants, in fact several throughout the life of the aircraft. I strongly suspect that they were “min alt” seats in the fifties too. In relation to this and the ejection procedure, I would have to refer to the crew notes which I will do- it may take some digging. Thanks! Regards, Z
@@Exgasman9072 Dear Mr G, Ah- I fear I can’t help myself! I’m having pills for it and injections too- the doctors say it shouldn’t last long.. Regards, Z
@@BennyCFD Dear Benny, Thanks for getting in touch- Glad you liked the procedures, but I fear that narration may be my only vice! It always seemed to me that a little commentary has been welcomed in my pieces to camera, but there are a lot of people in the world and I won’t please everyone of course. Anyway, you took the trouble to write so it’s only right that I take the trouble to answer. Consequently I trust that you won’t mind the somewhat lengthy response. Do tune in again, it would be nice to hear from you- I may tell jokes next time. Sometimes I do this but not always! Regards, Z
