Fiddlesticks!

Adding Flickr images on the forum from the  iPad hasn't gotten any easier or less frustrating so you'll either have to take it from me that I've done some what if world relevant model making and design over winter or if you're in need of visuals click on the links below

I made some progress with the AW169 to add to the F155T stable (although if you were at Telford or follow Mr Wooksta you already know this)
https://flic.kr/p/2nFk5VS which he turned into a beautiful model https://flic.kr/p/2nYXy5w

Printer has been in a huff for a bit but no. 2 is in the post to @The Wooksta! and no.3 will go off to @Thorvik shortly

I finished my Avro 698 build and added it to the range https://flic.kr/p/2nTGPVD

I made a start on a deeply unlikely looking civil project https://flic.kr/p/2nVbGoz

Indulged in some whatiffery with a Mach2 Douglas X-3 kit as the decals were shot https://flic.kr/p/2nWkQtb

Did a real world dazzle camo scheme P-51 https://flic.kr/p/2nX1xUV

Worked on a design for a 1/144 Armstrong Whitworth AW56 V-bomber https://flic.kr/p/2o9KjWM

Build one of my own AW.58s as an emergency fighter https://flic.kr/p/2ob9AGD

There's some other stuff as well more generally, a WW1 seaplane station diorama some more prints of the Barnes Wallis Swallow at 1/72 and the Blackburn P.139 all in progress but darned if I can remember it all

Hummmmm a 1:1 scale Yamaha inside the house is sure to go down well with the other half

In my defence it wasn't mine. My old boss had bought it and was shipping it over to the US so I just looked after it for a little while. There was some high winds forecast so it came into the dining room rather than risk toppling over outside

He is very happily retired and has an enviable bike collection

Oh, forgot - also did some low level Viper engined Blue Steel missiles

It's not me you have to defend yourself against though

Oh, it could be worse. You should have seen Mrs P's face as I began dismantling an Alfa Romeo transaxle gearbox in front of the telly.. 😉

As long as you didn't set fire to the hut and go running to Dennis, currently shacked up with Dagmar...

No domestic ructions at all, all fine

That'd look good in a BOAC scheme................

......if there was anywhere to PUT the scheme!

More importantly how on earth would you stretch the wing for your version?

Fuselage sections, mainwheels, inner wing and engine pods to fold point for the Blackburn P.139

Two kits and graft one into the middle of the other?   

P.139 looks to be all present and correct enough for a first build
