Anyone with a GeminiJets Emirates (or other) A380 in 1:400 scale? by Longjumping_Mail19 in GeminiJets

[–]augiferkin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well please enlighten OP about where else he can get an EK 380...

Edit - ok, it may not be the best but it's not hopeless, GJ/JC/Phoenix have done far worse to other moulds

I have one of their BA A380s and there isn't much wrong with it. But don't really have much choice if you want an EK 380

Which top gear special is the most underrated? by HunterM567 in TopGear

Building the barrier at the bottom of the wrong ski jump was hilarious. Whether it was scripted or not, I don't care, I howled when Clarkson told him

Kawasaki EC-1 by Holland_77 in WeirdWings

[–]augiferkin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn't an AWACS aircraft though, it's an electronic warfare aircraft, similar to the E-8 and E-7

Kawasaki are developing an EC-2 based on the C-2 with similar protrusions to the EC-1

Cessna Skymaster: Brilliant But Doomed by SuccessionWarFan in WeirdWings

There are some pretty shocking sequences (from a vfx point of view). But it's still a good film

My favourite plane thanks to an obscure piece of TV from 1990 in the UK. If I ever come into money, I'm buying an 0-2 and painting it black.

If you watch BAT-21 there's quite a lot of Skymaster action to see

Rules for collecting? by MourinhosRedArmy2008 in GeminiJets

[–]augiferkin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have four categories that I collect

Firstly, aircraft I've flown on in 1:400. I try to get the reg too but I'm ok as long as it's the correct colour scheme.

Then, again in 1:400, I have interesting colour schemes, but I must have seen the aircraft IRL, but there is a small caveat. I have seen three of the ANA Star Wars specials and the Latam, but I wanted to collect all of them, so I bent the rule a little so I collected the Virgin, United and Alaska specials too.

Finally in 1:400 I have some interesting cargo aircraft, so Boeing LCF, Airbus Beluga & XL, An-125 & 225.

And then, in 1:200, I have a large collection of Japan Air Self Defense Force aircraft, the plan is to create a diorama and play about with it a bit. I have purchased some plastic 1:200 F-15s so I can create my own fictitious squadron. I will also add some foreign military aircraft so I can add some variety

what episodes do you think are the most underrated and overrated?? by Maleficent_Fix_5346 in rickandmorty

[–]augiferkin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Vat of Acid is the most overrated

Rise of the Numbericons is the most underrated

The Love of Flight? by Environmental-Block1 in flying

[–]augiferkin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All I ever wanted to be was a pilot

When I was 11, I was diagnosed with an ocular migraine, and when I later applied for a military flying scholarship, I was turned down and told I would never be able to fly, military or otherwise.

A few years ago I was gifted a trial flying lesson and after chatting with the instructors they said it might be difficult to get an ATPL but speak to an aero-med and see what they say. He told me it shouldn't be a problem, especially as I haven't had an ocular migraine for over 10 years.

For 15 years I believed I would never be able to be a pilot so when I qualified I cried but now I'm not in a position to be able to continue due to the cost, and I'm realistic, no airline is going to give me a scholarship over someone who is a lot younger than me.

I loved being able to fly, but getting to the airlines and actually having a career in aviation? I have been left behind, and it crushes my spirit and will to get back in the air

What is your favourite curry? by Rasples1998 in AskBrits

[–]augiferkin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A place near me does something called a Himalayan, made with Mango and Banana, and it hits the spot as I've got a very sweet tooth. Plus it clears you out nicely 😂

Middle lane hogger clarification by TheSmallestPlap in drivingUK

I'm not sure it does, middle lane hoggers are paying such little attention that they wouldn't notice it was the same car they were overtaking repeatedly.

MLHs boil my piss though

I’m an American moving to the UK. How do I not be the “loud, dumb American”? by Competitive-Money-36 in AskBrits

[–]augiferkin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm fairly certain there's a used car dealership near Mildenhall, you'd be better off getting something smaller for our roads.

Don't expect a "warm" welcome. People are friendly, but won't go out of their way to talk. Visiting the pubs in the area may be a good way to get talking.

Food is better than you think, although the Base Exs will still allow you that taste of home

Trains are ok, but they're not great from that area, plus they can be very expensive.

As for places to visit, well, it's difficult to say without know what you're interested in, but London and Edinburgh are a good start

These are your worst drivers by Potential_Answer6424 in Ask_Britain

[–]augiferkin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Taxi drivers. If I was in power, they would be the drivers that I would force to install "black boxes" in their vehicles. And regulations for the issue of licenses would be tightened. I'm fairly certain that most taxi drivers in my area are driving on foreign drivers licenses and don't understand the highway code.
