Re: A very special Coningsby 22.8.11

I think your picture PP has approved so dramatically, as you were given some very good advice when you first started post processing your pictures... :whistle: ;)

Your pictures are an inspiration mate, some of the best I have seen from your good self :thumb:

Keep up the good work :)

Re: what sort of thing is there to see at waddo?

+4. Waddo is always a great day out, & if its quiet, which does not happen very often, you will be assured of good banter, good food, & many aviation related bargains at the Sentry Post :thumb:

For Sale, Revell 1/48 B1 Lancer

I have one of the above available for sale. The box is slightly squashed, but all parts are present, undamaged, & still sealed in their plastic bags. I would like £50 for it, & that includes P & P, or you can collect from Lincoln, for £40.

Please PM me if you are interested.

Thanks. :)

Re: Decal softener

Yes indeedy Nick, I can highly recomend The Microscale products, "Micro-Sol" & "Micro-Set". They are available from Hannants, & other good model retailers. The "sol" is applied before the decal is placed, as it helps to eliminate any air bubbles that may be trapped under the decal, once applied, to ...

Looking good Nick, I will be ordering one of those seats for my 1/32 Tiffy, along with the Eduard cockpit detailing set. Also looking at white metal u/c, by SAC, via Alley Cat Models, intake blanks, & inner pylons, from Two Mikes. The kit appears to be going together quite quickly, have you encounte...

Re: Final flight of the Nimrod R1

You could park in Bracebridge, the village between Lincoln & the airfield. It would then mean a 15 minute walk up the A15, to get to the WAVE, a good trek, but worth the effort.

Re: Daft question, but here goes !!

Canon AF just refers to the Auto Focus facility on the lens, it WILL fit your EOS camera, I had exactly the same lens on my 20D, & in my opinion, it gave better results than the Canon equivalent that I also had. ;)

Re: Canon 20D EF-S lens compatibility?

The 55-250 gets good reviews, due to its IS feature ( image stabilization..no teaching of sucking eggs intended... :) ), but lacks the extra reach of your more popular 75-300 lenses. Junes issue of PhotoPlus mag has a review of the kind of lenses your are thinking about, the 55-250 fairs well, but t...
