Nighthawk

Outstanding! You have achieved your goal.

That is a brilliant light show, what have you used, and how? I need to copy!!!

Thank you to all the friends I have made, advice I have been given and knowledge I have gained from all you very special people contributing to this thread. It has been a great journey and one that I really will always remember fondly. Happy New Year to you all. All good wishes for a safe and healthy one.

Darrel. Do you have a link for the lights?

I certainly agree with securing to the wall even when standing, but the load on the wall will be minimal compared to trying to support 33kgs!

They do have feet.

Perfick!

You've had better luck with your eggs than my kids have! Share your source please.

A dramatic and rather sad ending.

The difference is magnified in the second photograph as the GBL body is further from the camera. It doesn't look nearly as obvious in the top picture.

There was an empty rack in Eastleigh again today. This is getting serious! I have an order with GBL for issues 25 and 27, but those are out of stock! GBL wouldn't take my order for #28 last week, and now #29 is absent locally. Given all this, I can't see the little Pannier showing up. So, if anyone has spare, or unwanted issues #25, 27, 28, and 29 and will be able to lay hands on a #30, I would be really grateful to hear from you to discuss a transaction for purchase of the models with combined postage to try to minimise those costs.

I do find it amazing how plentiful the models are in some parts of the country and the incredible drought in others (mine!). Very poor marketing / buying strategy by major retailers in Hampshire!

I phoned them today. They have a back order problem outstanding with issues 25 to 28. They claim to expect more to come but have no idea when. it appears to be correct that they are a third party as well! They took my order but I have no real hope of it being fulfilled. Unable to order 28 until next week.

Thanks for the tips chaps. I'll have a go with 'Brasso' and 'Klear' later today in the first instance I think. Cutting neat replacement clear windows will be a bit of a challenge!

Picked up the last 4MT at Eastleigh today. Generally good, but glue fogging on the cab windows (I guess why it was left by the local predators!) - is the old Johnson's 'Klear' application still thought to be the best cure?
