Just received from Hornby

1 x 1/72 Airfix A02108A Supermarine Spitfire Mk Vc

Partly because they had a sale on and I don't have these three kits

Quote from: PR19_Kit on February 01, 2024, 03:46:15 AMThat GINORMOUS 1/32 scale Dambusters Lancaster at SMW 2023 is a good example. The whole model was supported by its 'water splash', but can I find a pic of it?

NO!

Here you go. Unfortunately the camouflage seems to work quite well with a background of people!

Yeah! That's the one Ratty, thanks. 

It was pretty impressive the way he'd posed it coming tight out of the 'flying' stand AT you!

My two wee Chinooks showed up today, all the way from the Netherlands. Cheaper than driving an hour North to London, ON and buying them 🤷�♂️

My mate Perrin is giving me a 72nd Italeri CH-47 which he's just done with..lots of fit issues..im gonna have some fun with that 😀 😉

Cracking kit, that 1/144 Chinook. I've got half a dozen of them to go aboard my SS Atlantic Conveyor, eventually..................

Wish I had taken a lot more photos, but as you all noticed I was still feeling pretty weak, just walking around was an accomplishment. All better now!

Glad you're better, Ratty.

That Lanc *is* impressive.

Just come back from a friends' place, with: (all 1/72)

Cooper Details Spit 5-bladed prop
Aeroclub bucket seats and control columns X2
Aeroclub R-2800
Falcon F-8F Bearcat canopy
Falcon Sunderland canopy set
a couple of random jet transfer sheets, gotten for the warning triangles
and a sheet of White US Air Force/Navy/Marines lettering (there may be Army there also); this will enable me to carry on with a US Navy whif that had stalled due to not having the white lettering. So Yay!

It's out at the Big H and I must admit I'm not sure about getting one or not ? It's not my period, but I've always liked the aeroplane. Umming and ahhing at the moment, but if there's a box available at the London show it may well follow me home

1/144?

I could use them as sales models in my 1/35 CH-47D.

Build one as a large-scale;e R/C model...

It's very good.  But it needs spinning props.  Either actual ones with motors or fake ones with discs.

I think the Big Lanc did have motorised props, but they didn't run all the time.

Several upgrade sets for the Airfix Gloster Javeling FAW.R



I still need to get the Airwaves etch set and Master probes for the future build though.

At first glance, this looked like a power station from a slightly dystopian future...............then I examined it more closely.
