Boeing B17 Memphis Belle

Chintz reminded me on the phone last night that we went to see the Movie of this aircraft after a Exercise in the 1990's.
I think we had spent quite a bit of time in the bar prior to attending it, because I can't remember much of it at all.
Dave said: I just wanted to add; the quality of finish that I have attained even from my average quality airbrush is far superior to any finish I was getting using brush paints. I now exclusively air brush Acrylics, and generally use enamels to pick out the detail. It really has pushed my kit production into a new level. I have also gone back and resprayed kits that I brush painted a few years ago, and where I am unhappy with the quality of the kit or the finish or the ability of actually producing a good kit, (think the early Tamiya Panther for example), I have sacrificed them to the children. It seems to keep the 3 year old happy. Having said that, I still keep some basic colours in cans for convinence sake, silver, matt black, white and I'm looking for a decent red brown at Mitre 10 for painting tracks.
