Splinter, using every possible combination of profanity as I mask it.

Indeed it is! Iām tempted to get an upgraded seat too, but theyāre shipping to Japan is pricey.
I continued with my Lynx today and unfortunately, things are going a bit pear-shaped. 
Oh well. I used to have a reputation for this kind of thing. It would start just fine, then there would be disasters, mistakes etc and I would think it was going to be a complete dud - then Iād somehow manage to make the model at least presentable. Itās pretty much my modus operandi!

got back to this hobby recently.
I think I didnt choose the best kit for restart. Revell 1:72. looks nice, but few headaches along the build

I was going to get cracking with my double Harrier kit, but considering Iāve had quite a break from serious model building and how the Lynx is going wonky since I restarted it, I thought itās probably best to start with something a bit simpler first to get back in the swing of things - so Iāll start this one:

Wiring like that is something I want to try with my Eduard A6M but I havenāt a clue how the wires are supposed to look on an engine.

The A6M used the Nakajima Sakae engine.
Google search for images (I found several) and do your best to match them.
Or there are aftermarket photo-etch sets that include the wiring harness. And/or resin engines that have them molded on.
Good luck and thanks!

Actually I feel dumb now because Iām pretty sure Eduardābeing Eduardāhas the PE wiring in the kit.

I was reading an old Airfix magazine and spotted a kit that I would normally really like. I saw they said it was originally by Matchbox, so Iām guessing thatās why I originally didnāt bother looking for it. Their review wasnāt bad, though, so I did a search and found them readily available and today it arrived.

It is strange. I was reading a build article about a King Air 200 kit in that magazine, as well. They were raving about it but I thought it looked dreadful - definitely the wrong nose shape. Shame cos it was the RAF WSO trainer scheme.
probably this one - looks good on the boxtop (well maybeā¦) but the built model looked different to that:
They have a 350 too - that looks far better.
ah - I found an article on it - make your own mind up

That is very cool. As a kid I got to sit in a F-111 escape module at an airshow at RAAF Amberley.
The āRed Rooā is a nice touch, looks like they have used Roger as a reference?

Yeah, it is! I was about to buy their first Escape Pod release, but then they announced a special RAAF Roo edition, so I waited for that.
