Sounds like we will have a squadron of them, maybe an anniversary line-up with aircraft from all the different operators of the aircraft, like they did with the Lightnings.

I bags 85 Squadron!

Fantastic!  I might also be contributing to the Whif Sqn, then, as I fancy one too  :wacko:

I'd be in for a P.187 and, FD.3 as well  <_<

Ha, I'm a fair way off getting those drawn up. At some point, but I want to do the Short PD.17 first. And actually spend some time knocking down the stash.

So, here's my finished attempt at a 74 Tigers Squadron FAW.1. Just a single pic for now (I have literally just finished assembling it). I'll do a proper photoshoot on Saturday when the sun is shining. I obviously used some Lightning decals, and made up the adjacent serial number to the Vickers 559 I completed recently. I also used a pair of Aeroclub seats, but the kit will have a basic pair of resin seats (handles and belts will need scratchbuilding or sourcing)



Whilst I've been beavering away on mine I've also been printing away in the background. I have 8 nearly-complete kits ready to go, I just need to form the canopies. Those who've shown interest, please PM me to discuss payment and shipping. I was thinking I could maybe bring them to Telford. If Martin & Co are OK with the idea I could leave them at the stand on Saturday morning? Or perhaps just arrange a time at the stand so faces can be put to names? Let me know.

That does look rather splendid, to say the least!  :thumbsup:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.
