Bak Kut Teh

I’m … not sure I would run that through Google Translate set to Dutch

You won't find it in Chinese translation either as its basically a Malaysian Hokkien dish and won't find it in China. Just like Chinese New Year Yee Sang or raw fish salad comes from Malaysia although Singapore will contest that it originated there.:tears-of-joy:

Looks a great meal and get together. Nice to see a really smart looking restoration.

That is not quite the direction my thoughts went into when my Dutch-speaking mind read the words

Eh … given the self-censorship common among native English speakers, I think I’d better not

I couldn't get Google Translate to come up with anything other than Bak Kut Teh. Malay to Dutch, Dutch to English, Malay to English - same result.

Try individual words. Teh doesn’t mean anything in Dutch, though pronounced as it’s written, it sounds like the word thee, “tea” (pronounced as English “tay”).

There ought to be as I think Indonesians also call tea as teh.
There is though on Youtube why parts of the world refer to tea as Char and others Teh....oh dear I've opened another can of worms. :flushed::smiling6:

Before the debate gets any long in the ear, I apologise for not posting lately on the Belvedere's progress. Actually there was a stumbling bloke where the canopy is concerned. I noticed the barrenness of the left window and decided to add framing for it. Quite a slippery task as the window sides were sloped. Another was not using a fine paintbrush to apply the liquid cement. In my haste I used the bottle brush applicator which was squashed and resembled chicken feet. Obviously some glue made its way to areas not needed. I think I can save it but don't look too close.

As you can see I've started masking the chin window.
I would have secured the canopy to the cockpit but needed to get the frame in so I can paint out the inside to block the glued grey frame.

Plenty of words from Dutch in Indonesian, and vice versa, yes — most people in the Netherlands will know what a pisang or a klamboe is, for example, or talk about being out in the rimboe. The other way around, I think my favourite is knalpot, which here is an old-fashioned, semi-slang term for “muffler in a motor vehicle’s exhaust” (and, by extension, the whole exhaust), but there, apparently, the normal word for an exhaust pipe

Always interesting to see your progress.

Thanks Guys,
I cut out templates from thin pla-sheets and with that I cut out the masking pieces...

They work just like Eduard canopy mask. :smiling6:
Looks like I don't have to sand and polish much...maybe some filler.

Hi,
Sharing todays progress... I corrected the support strut for the tail plane by lengthening it and positioned it further to the kink in the wing.

Then I added the covers over the modified rotor hands with cut and shaped plastic strip.

Fitted the canopy after painting the interior framing in black from the inside to cover any glued frames that can be seen.

Sanded the puttyied seams flush between the canopy and fuselage.

Still much to do...there's no end. :smiling6:

Cheers,
Wabble
